‘If you live in our country, abide by our values’

I can barely believe this story is true: PRINCE Charles issued an extraordinary rallying cry today calling on Muslims living in the UK to show more respect for British values.

The heir to the throne railed against the radicalisation of young British men by Islamist extremists as he launched an impassioned defence of Britain’s “Christian” heritage.

Telling British muslims that they should show more respect for “the values we hold dear,” the Prince revealed that he was terrified by the influence of radical preachers who spread their teachings on the internet.

In an unprecedented outburst, he said: “The radicalisation of people in Britain is a great worry, and the extent to which this is happening is alarming, particularly in a country like ours where we hold values dear.

“You would think the people who have come here, or are born here, and go to school here, would abide by those values and outlooks.”

He added that it was “frightening” that young British Muslims were being radicalised by “crazy stuff on the internet”.

The outspoken comments are a further sign that the Prince is not prepared to keep quiet on political causes close to his heart, despite assuming more and more responsibility from the Queen.

They came as he started a six-day tour of the Middle East in his mother’s place, during which he has been urged to speak out against the barbaric practises of some Gulf states.

It is understood that the Prince will challenge new Saudi king Salman bin Abdulaziz al Saud over the terrible punishment handed down to blogger Raif Badawi when the pair meet face to face this week.

Interestingly, and bravely, he also seems to be calling on people living in other countries to show more respect for British values as well.

Have you changed your views on Tony yet, Janet?

A few words about that editorial-page dill, Janet Albrechtsen. She had an article yesterday on Shut down the sheiks who incite violence by Muslims. She, you must recall, was one of those who harped on the need to rid ourselves of Tony Abbott and replace him with Malcolm. So this is what she wrote on the weekend:

Three fundamental failures rooted in politics, law and culture have led the West to a dangerous inflexion point in relation to the way we use words in the terrorism space. Politically, we fail to discuss the critical issue of the relationship between Islam and terrorism. Legally, we have laws that fail to prosecute those who incite murderous violence. Culturally, we have created a system of competitive victimhood, where people vie for victimhood status, become infantilised by a bevy of laws and concomitant social diktats about what can and cannot be said.

OK Janet, who’s going to undo these failures? Which political leaders, either here or in the US, will do what they can to reverse these trends? Who is more serious, Tony or Malcolm? I have to say that I am sick of the commentariat class who know what they want and can write it all down but have no clue whatsoever what it takes to actually achieve a political end. My irritation at reading her junk views on this and that knows almost no bounds.

The nightmare world they are helping to create

You really do wonder how out of the picture our media and elites are if they are in any way surprised by this:

Gay and lesbian people should be put to death or otherwise punished under sharia, according to two imams who share leadership positions with Shady Alsuleiman, the controversial sheik invited to a Ramadan dinner at Kirribilli House by Malcolm Turnbull.

The Australian National Imams Council, of which Sheik ­Alsuleiman is president, has at least three executive members who believe the only punishment for homosexuality is the death penalty, according to Islamic law.

This is a 1400-year old legal code that is brought with imams wherever they go. There is no changing their minds or arguing another point of view. As for you, you either believe in freedom of religion – and that is their religion – and you believe in freedom of speech – and their right to say what they believe – or you don’t. It’s all very well to have these abstract principles but they don’t always work in concrete situations. They rightly take us for fools, but if you have some plan to stop their religion and their philosophy becoming dominant in the West over the next century, you had better put your plan into operation soon, because it is already nearly too late if it isn’t too late already.

It is the hatred of Christianity by our atheist left that is the largest part of our undoing. Half our society is blind, ignorant and insane. But at least it is mostly the younger half who will have to live most of their lives in the nightmare world they are helping to create.

Stating the obvious on Obama and ISIS

obama islamic terrorism denial

And he’s not alone on his side of the aisle: Just 29% Of Democrats Say Orlando Was An Islamic Terror Attack. With that in mind, read Caroline Glick on Obama and the Moderate Muslims. Here are the questions she asks:

How can enforcing ignorance of a problem help you to solve it? How does refusing to call out the Islamic extremists that Islamic moderates like the Green revolutionaries and Sisi risk their lives to fight weaken them? How does empowering jihad apologists from CAIR and MPAC help moderate, anti-jihad American Muslims who currently have no voice in Obama’s White House?

We will add this, CIA Chief Contradicts Obama On ISIS Threat, Warns Of Intensified Terror Campaign, but the unmentionable point is made by these and a thousand other articles and tens of thousands of other acts.

Whatever you do, don’t do anything

The article by Michael Totten is titled, Banning Guns and Muslims Isn’t the Answer to Orlando. And this is what he concludes:

So what’s the answer? The answer is that The Answer doesn’t exist.

So therefore don’t try anything, except more war in the Middle East which has worked so well. On the other hand, we could follow someone’s advice given to Mark Steyn:

“I listen to people say ‘oh, we’re now going to have to have metal detectors in night clubs, security in nightclubs.’ Ok, so what happens next? They blow up a bakery, they blow up a little pastry shop, so then you’re gonna have to have metal detectors to get into the pastry shop?

“Instead of having all these individual perimeters around every Dunkin Donuts franchise or every gas station, or every J.C. Penny, why not have just one big perimeter around the country?” Steyn concluded. “We could call it a border! And we could have, like, a border security!”

Well, at least it is an answer.

And what do we want?

As Ed Driscoll says, it’s comforting to know that America’s newsrooms and television studios are flooded with experts who know ISIS better than ISIS itself. At least Donald Trump seems to know what I want: ‘It’s absolute war!’ Trump demands tougher domestic surveillance of mosques as he says Hillary Clinton is ‘almost like a maniac’ for avoiding mention of Islamic terrorism in the wake of Orlando massacre.

And in regard to fighting with one arm behind our back, this was sent out this morning by Freedomfest, where I heard Trump speak last year: Facebook Censures FreedomFest…the message Facebook wouldn’t let us post. The posting begins:

Dear FreedomFest friends and attendees,

First We Mourn

Like all Americans, FreedomFest is mourning the horrifying loss that took place in Orlando Sunday morning. Our next thought is on the minds of all Americans too: What can we do to stop this terrorism?

Dr. Tawfik Hamid will offer an answer and a solution in his talk at FreedomFest, “How Radical Islam Works, Why It Should Terrify Us, and How to Defeat it.”

Dr. Hamid is particularly equipped to address this topic. He is an Islamic thinker and reformer and a one-time Islamic extremist from Egypt. He was a member of a radical Islamic organization in Egypt with Dr. Ayman Al-Zawaherri (who later became the first in command of Al-Qaeda). More than 30 years ago he started a reformation within Islam.

We attempted to share this same information on Facebook on Sunday, but Facebook censured the post. That’s right, Facebook would not allow us to post this information. We assume that it is because it was filled with “trigger words” that Facebook would not allow. We’ve never had this happen before. It’s a strange feeling to press “Publish” only to see Facebook ignore it and do absolutely nothing.

We will only work this out if we have a free debate with all sides all in discussing all of the issues. You may be sure Islamists have no problem saying anything they want to each other, even on Facebook.

The progressive hierarchy of identity groups

reality narrative

The question is why did this take so long: I’m a Gay Activist, and After Orlando, I Have Switched My Vote to Trump. It’s an interesting post with many different facets even given how short it is.

I also now realize, with brutal clarity, that in the progressive hierarchy of identity groups, Muslims are above gays. Every pundit and politician — and that includes President Obama and Hillary Clinton and half the talking heads on TV — who today have said “We don’t know what the shooter’s motivation could possibly be!” have revealed to me their true priorities: appeasing Muslims is more important than defending the lives of gay people. Every progressive who runs interference for Islamic murderers is complicit in those murders, and I can no longer be a part of that team.

I’m just sick of it. Sick of the hypocrisy. Sick of the pandering. Sick of the deception.

And you know what makes me angrier still? The fact that I have to hide my identity and remain anonymous in writing this essay. If I outed myself as a Trump supporter, I would be harassed and doxxed and shunned by everyone I know and by the Twitter lynch mobs which up until yesterday I myself led.

Everyone is just part of an identity group to the left where everything depends on how many votes and how much money there is in supporting you.

Fox Camel News Network

This was from Carol in the comments on Facing reality.

In the reaction to this tragedy on some American blogs, I saw more than one comment, in relation to spin about this story on the Fox news channel, that some wealthy Saudi Arabian mogul had recently bought a large share in News Corp. Could this possibly be true? I didn’t see exactly when beyond recent, but, if true, it would be interesting to know, because it might have a bearing on The Australian coming across as more leftish of late?

Remember about the last capitalist selling the rope that will be used to hang him. Read on. This is what I have since found out. Just read through this story, Saudis Influencing Fox News and then this one, Fox News Channel unbalanced by Saudi influence, both by Diana West, because it is certain to be the only time you will see this mentioned ever again.

And then make your plans accordingly.
