“No Islamic nation could have flown to the moon or invented the Internet, simply because for a millennium the culture has suppressed the curiosity necessary for such a venture.”
That is because the Islamists believe that the Koran has revealed all that mankind needs to know to live. The “unholy alliance” first identified by David Horowitz some 20 years ago between the Marxists and the Islamists are well on their way to destroying Western Civilization. The mechanism resides in our educational system that has been controlled by Marxists for at least 2 generations teaching oikophobia to our children. The Europeans and our own homegrown Marxists have lost faith in our civilization and have stopped having children. Islam has been a curse on mankind since the seventh century. Allah is not the same God of Abraham and Jesus.
Thank you for a new term for my quiver. Of course, I had to look it up, oikophobia. I will use it and share it to expand the vocab and awareness of others. Btw-autocorrect wanted to change it to homophobia.
I frequently have to correct autocorrect, sometimes more than once after it “corrects” the word I just fixed. It drives me nuts. I guess that is one of the hazards of having a tool that learned its spelling and language skills from the web.
I turned off auto correct a few years ago. It was almost as good a feeling as when Joe Biden left the Whitehouse and 'Word Salad' Kamala lost the election. Almost . .
I find it mildly annoying at times, but enjoy “gaming” it. As you say, after so many times typing something I want to use (often a “BH-ism) it will succumb and become part of my personally created vocab. Victory over AI! Case in point, now, thanks to steph_gray, “oinkophobia”.
Yes! I first read that word in the work of a DC columnist who used to be funny and incisive back in the late 2000's.
It was so long ago that I've completely forgotten his name (as I had forgotten that word and have been looking for it). I suspect he slipped into the neverTrump mudpile along with the likes of Jonah Goldberg. Haven't heard about him for years. Links to his column were frequent on lucianne dot com.
But now I'm writing that word down - valuable!
P.S. to BH - I would say, set your autocorrect to "oinkophobia" just for a laugh. But it would be an insult to pigs, who have the sense to appreciate their origin and where they live.
Update: I just tried plugging into Brave browser search the words "james oikophobia" (because my vague memory popped up the first name) and it came up immediately.
The columnist was James Taranto. And here's the article he wrote in in 2010:
Dennis Prager gives credit to David Horowitz for originally opening his eyes to the Islamic threat. If you all don't follow Prager U, check it out. Dennis is a fountain of information even though he has been paralyzed for the past year by a fall in the shower. His brain works fine. He's done some long form interviews with a very smart assistant, Marissa Streit that I think you'll find enlightening
Dead on. Despite the atheist lies, the library at Alexandria was destroyed by Moslems on that very grounds.
(Earlier claims of Christians doing it are incorrect. Christians did burn the books on magic and necromancy, but it was very limited. It took Islam to decide engineering and hygiene were unneeded.)
Okiophobia. I always say if you don’t learn some new everyday you aren’t paying attention. A tip of the Jimmy Halto hat to MLR. Mr. Surber should enjoy that reference. 🎩
I would also change to vouchers for education and limit them to that being their only source of public money. Something like $6,000 per student per year, but dock them for any students who don't make at least a B- average, with a standardized test to determine the cut.
20 kids at $6k is $120,000 per year. The teacher could rent any office space and pay utilities in most areas for 1000 to 1500 a month. That leaves him or her with a nice paycheck. Eliminate the school staff and overhead and education becomes reasonable again.
That might incentivise some to actually teach the inner city kids who are failing now, especially if you also couple it with the welfare/ ebt/ disability/ section 8 that the single moms get.
Right now if the child of a handout recipient gets caught with drugs, the parent looses benefits, or is supposed to. We should add school failure to that..such a move would force these delinquents to "act white" whether they want to or not.
Many denominations are in the process of collapsing. The Presbyterian church is experiencing a serious matter that may lead to another split as LGBTQ and the woke agenda rears it's head.
The pope has been sucking up to islam and adopting their language.
The LCMS is showing signs that it may soon go the way of the ELCA which is no longer a Christian denomination.
We in America are only one or two steps behind the peons err Europeans.
TPUSA recently allowed Myron Gains aka Amrou Fudl, an islamist to speak. This never would have happened when Charlie was alive.
50 years ago, having moved to a new town, we attended a local Presbyterian church, mostly because it was an easy walk from our new house. The minister was friendly enough, but considering his large building his congregation seemed strangely small. Turned out that he was a homo, who let a member of the congregation "do" his neglected wife. In the meantime, his sermons dwelled often and with much disdain on "the fundies", in and outside Presbyterianism. Publications from one national Presbyterian group that wanted to cling to the Gospel made clear that the moral rot was national, and as with all Leftist preoccupations, the activists never quit trying to take over the entire denomination.
That minister is now long gone, but the damage is done, and the barely used church property was acquired by the city to build a new fire station ... as a consolation prize, one could argue that although that's a purely secular endeavor, at least it prioritizes "saving" people.
The Presbyterian church has experienced numerous splits as congregations go anti-Christ. I watched several videos last night about the various denominations that are in freefall. It seems like the first step is female senior pastors. Maybe Paul had a reason for the prohibition against female pastor's.
Yes, a far more balanced minister at a different Presbyterian church observed that women, by and large, not only favor liberal manias, but their mere presence in "leadership" drives away the men, which I think is quite true. And frankly, the giddiness with which women behave once they're in a leadership role is nauseating to observe.
Every time I read an article like this I point out one huge factor - Jimmy Carter. If he had supported the Shah of Iran, none of this would be happening. Muslims were pretty quiet and cowed all over the planet up until Jimmah let the mullahs back into Iran. Which is now and has been for years, the biggest supporter of jihad in the world.
I hope that he’s enjoying his seat in the Lake of Fire right next to Ted “Splash” Kennedy. He has the blood of millions on his hands.
From what I remember Jimmie had a degree in nuclear engineering (over educated) yet ran a huge peanut farm. He was a "Southern" Baptist (SBC) which is supposedly the largest protestant denomination. I was once one myself until I studied theology and found out their theology was way off since around 1910. We (the USA) followed Europe's lead after the Enlightenment, Marxism and Darwinian evolutionist destroyed the Bible and its Universities. We usually follow Europe by a generation so look at them and that's us in another 20 years.
MJ did NOT drown. Her death was suffocation after the air pocket in the car was depleted of oxygen. She likely was disoriented and unable to get the door open.
And don't forget that the sainted JFK turned the White House into a whorehouse, which was assiduously overlooked by the press. But you could argue that Bobby junior's present activism is some compensation.
You may want to read the history of RFK, Jr. He t’weren’t no saint, but an alcoholic, a drug addict & a serial womanizer (he routinely spanked his underage babysitter) besides being a bottom-feeder.
That being said, I like what he’s doing with the CDC. As you mentioned, he seems to be atoning for past mistakes.
Jimmy Who? was the worst president for many years..it took a foreign import to dethrone him. Had horizontal Harris managed to steal, he'd be in 4th place now.
I've often said that after Watergate, the dems could have run the biggest idiot on the planet and won. Coincidentally, they did.
I would have even preferred Buck by himself; Clay Travis is a self-centered, pompous blowhard...he has none of the true humility that Rush always had (even when he said he was right 98.6% of the time...or whateverthe % was...). Miss Rush a lot!
Frick and Frack are ridiculously pathetic. I have no idea how they actually believed that a moron like Clay Travis was the voice to replace Rush! I can't stand him and will turn the radio off rather than listen to him. I once heard him scoffing that the reason our congressmen were so bad was that the salary was embarrassing to low and we needed to pay much higher salaries to get better people. He said good people would refuse to prostitute themselves for just $174,000 per year. The clown is a legend in his own feeble worthless mind.
$174K is plenty for a part-time job & all the perks they get. They also get to blow campaign money on all sorts of crap. If they could just ban insider trading, we wouldn't have career politicians & there would be no need for term limits.
I met Mark Steyn on a cruise after Obama was elected. I remember very well that he cited that election a month earlier as the bellwether of America’s demise. He was living in New Hampshire back then. He paid a huge price for his opinions—they tried to bankrupt him and throw him in jail, though he finally prevailed. Our country ignores this threat of Muslim domination at our peril—it truly IS the single most dangerous attack on America since its founding—and our “leaders” are fiddling whilst Rome burns. Civilizations always die from idiots within.
Please indulge me a moment. No better assessment of the Musselman exists than that of Winston Churchill:
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property—either as a child, a wife, or a concubine—must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
"Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities... but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith."
This is what we face, and we face it in the backdrop of American woman who are loathe to get in bed, get their pants off and do their duty while muslims are having 5, 6, 7 children at a pop. Take literally five minutes and draw out the descendant charts for a family of three down the line and one of seven, then seven again, then seven again. Since most muslims don't allow their women birth control and Western men generally don't want Western women, I think you see the problem. In 100 years, South Korea - demographically in most trouble - is projected to vanish.
And what does that all mean? Churchill strikes again. "When Islam is in the minority, they are concerned with minority rights. When they are in the majority, there ARE no minority rights." All you AWFLs with your "Handmaid's Tale" getups get ready, c'os if you don't get your priorities straight, soon your daughters will be wearing those far-less-fashionable burquas.
Great line: "When Islam is in the minority, they are concerned with minority rights. When they are in the majority, there ARE no minority rights." Same as that post about "decent Muslims" - only decent while they're in the minority.
Perhaps this clear eyed view of Islam is part of why Tucker allowed the far-from-imminent podcast/“historian” Darryl Cooper to label Churchill a war criminal.
I don’t want an Al-abama!!! Don , you’re killing me🤣🤣
One of my Christmas gifts to my husband is a series of books by Raymond Ibrahim: Sword and Scimitar; Defenders of the West; The Two Swords of Christ. If those of us who clearly see what’s coming don’t prepare, we won’t be ready once the barbarians are at the gate. I really thought WTH when GWB called Islam a religion of peace?!! Who got him to say that???
I remember when George Wanker Bush included CAIR to a White House event to show the world Americans don’t hate Muslims. Wanker was a “tip of the hat” to Mark Steyn. 🇬🇧
With the exceptions of Reagan and Trump, all Presidents since the 3rd Worst President in American History, have celebrated Kwanzaa, a made-up afro-holiday from the mid ‘60’s, and referred to Islam as peaceful.
That's what I'd like to know. I wanted to punch the TV when I saw & heard him say that. Only thing I found on who wrote that line: "The specific authorship of the phrase "Islam is a religion of peace" as used by George W. Bush is not definitively attributed to a single writer in the provided context."
Islam has never been a "religion of peace." From its very beginning, it was spread primarily by conquest and colonization, and maintained by oppression. Yes, there are some individual Muslims who are decent; but they are a minority. The mass of Muslims are also very prejudiced against anyone who is not Muslim. The African slave trade was started by the Muslim Arabs, and dominated by them for centuries; and just as many black slaves were sent to the Muslim Ottoman Empire as were sent to the Americas. (So why don't today's Muslim countries have a large black population? Because all of the male slaves were castrated before being sent north!) They also had white slaves--Turkish and North African ships raided all over Europe, not just the Mediterranean coast, but as far as Iceland, taking slaves.
Mr. Surber, your poll’s a bit skewed. Al-abama has some of the most beautiful women in America. You also forgot the most important and obvious answer: bloodthirsty Muslim savages hate bacon!
Muslims refuse to assimilate and Islamic ideology is incompatible with western values and traditions. Case in point: Ilhan Omar and her inbred extended family do not belong here.
Big fan of Mark Steyn and always enjoyed when he sat in for Rush Limbaugh.
I read his book when it was released and he put into words a big more eloquently than I what I’ve been saying since my teenage years, which was a long time ago.
America has become far too complacent.
Paraphrasing #40 “guard freedom and liberty vigilantly or else lose it forever.” We have a 2nd Amendment for a reason.
Brussels, Belgium is where the United Nations belongs, minus the United States. Can we deport the entire UN as persona non grata?
Oh hell, Mr. Surber, most Euro-trash males are more “girlie-men” than “manly-men”. Just look at Macron and Starmer, sitting down to pee.
Poland and Hungary are showing the way. Is anybody watching and listening?
Grumpy Oldman, I agree with every thing you just wrote. Let's go back to 1776 and start there. Tell me where we made our 3 biggest wrong turns and then how do we fix it. I'm serious. Thanks, if you have the time.
no reason to go back that far. all our current problems are fairly recent, within 120 years or so.
it’s relatively simple: IMHO, every Amendment after the 10th should be abolished, especially the 16th, 17th and 19th.
every Cabinet level department, other than State and War, should be defunded and abolished, returning those responsibilities back to each individual state.
NO taxpayer-funded handouts of any kind.
you wanna eat, get a job.
you want clothes, get a job.
you want a house, a car, a vacation, get a mutha’-f*ckin’ job.
generational welfare recipients are bane of civilized societies everywhere.
You are not wrong. I’m trying not to be like a reformed smoker but overall my mental health, attention span, and productivity at work have all increased.
Good for you! I stopped daily commenting on FauxBook years ago, for the same reason, but unfortunately still have to go in there occasionally to promote music events. I have perfected the art of getting in and out quickly ha ha!
It's kind of a positive that their interface is so abysmally horrid that I spend the entire time yelling at my computer in frustration and scaring my cats.
Mark Steyn has been America's Canada-born Casandra for the past two decades or more. His prescience on the subject of "America Alone" has been remarkable and his efforts have not gone unnoticed. He has been attacked by the government of Canada for "hate speech" when he pointed out its willing submission to dhimmitude. He has been subjected to literally a decades-long litigation, ostensibly due to his alleged "defaming" of the climate fraud Michael Mann (which has been financed by some of the most virulently anti-American monied interests extant), but emerged completely triumphant, praise God! However, all of this has wrecked his health, and he is currently recovering from a series of heart attacks that nearly killed him. Nonetheless, he soldiers on. He deserves all the support we can muster, financial and otherwise. But his efforts are not limited to this venue; he is a prolific student and critic of the arts, literature and American musical theater and movies specifically, as well as a brilliantly funny and witty man.
Steyn was educated in England, hence his accent. I am Canadian and he isn't at all culturally Canadian, which is actually blessing for him and I'll still take him. I'll quantify him as an international man like the guy in the old Dos Equis beer commercial. Steyn is one of the most interesting men in the world. He is the staunchest defender of Western civilization that I know of. We need so many more people to start seeing what is at stake, as he did decades ago.
That was a great rant. Some 10, 12 years ago, after I had read America Alone, I convinced my European (now American) wife to read it (her red pill moment). When she told her sister about it the response was to ask if we were in some sort of cult. No curiosity, no interest, just annoyance bordering on anger.
From the description of his newest book, "Christmas in the Age of Bollards":
Welcome to Christmas Week at SteynOnline. To Christianity, this is the season of Advent. To Judaism, this is the climax of Hanukkah. To Islam, this is a target-rich environment.
The hypocrisy of the Left, when it comes to religion, is nowhere more apparent than in their faux reverence for all things Islam, and virulent detestation of all things Christian.
Islam is merely filling the void left by our country’s ever increasing abandonment of the Judeo-Christian faith, its values, principles and morals, and bringing along with it the judgment for that abandonment.
Without a recommitment to that faith and all that goes with it, our country is done for - it’s just a matter of time.
“No Islamic nation could have flown to the moon or invented the Internet, simply because for a millennium the culture has suppressed the curiosity necessary for such a venture.”
That is because the Islamists believe that the Koran has revealed all that mankind needs to know to live. The “unholy alliance” first identified by David Horowitz some 20 years ago between the Marxists and the Islamists are well on their way to destroying Western Civilization.

Is "oinkophobia" fear of pigs?
🤣 !
I guess in the overall context here, it would be fear of one’s own pigs, but emotional attachment to unknown pigs abroad in faraway lands.
Yes! I first read that word in the work of a DC columnist who used to be funny and incisive back in the late 2000's.
It was so long ago that I've completely forgotten his name (as I had forgotten that word and have been looking for it). I suspect he slipped into the neverTrump mudpile along with the likes of Jonah Goldberg. Haven't heard about him for years. Links to his column were frequent on lucianne dot com.

Excellent-oinkophobia😅. I’m going to give it a try. Pigs are vastly more intelligent than most realize.
Yes...all animals created equal... but some are more equal than others...pigs.
Yes they are and can be trained as well as a dog or better .
Update: I just tried plugging into Brave browser search the words "james oikophobia" (because my vague memory popped up the first name) and it came up immediately.

James is part of the wsj editorial operation.
Taranto was one of the few that made retaining my WSJ subscription worthwhile.
No longer…just not worth wading through the ill educated DEI staff that dominate the news pages.
Oink-o-phobia is fear of animal farm!!
🤣
So, is oikophobia an allergy to Oikos brand Greek yogurt?
No, just fear of it.
I had to check my dictionary, too.
My thoughts exactly.

Their greatest engineering achievement is the suicide bomb.
The upside is that every explosion removes a muslim from the gene pool.
The down side is that by the time the smoke clears, another ten future splodydopes are born.

"They'll do it everytime"
MLR, you nailed this one. Now what are your # 1 recommendations to "fix it"?
Just this one?
Outlaw teachers unions!
I would also change to vouchers for education and limit them to that being their only source of public money. Something like $6,000 per student per year, but dock them for any students who don't make at least a B- average, with a standardized test to determine the cut.
Good idea but the cost may be a bit low if we are to get EDUCATED TEACHERS who can teach civics and history.
Not if the money goes to the teachers and the admin department doesn't suck it off.
20 kids at $6k is $120,000 per year. The teacher could rent any office space and pay utilities in most areas for 1000 to 1500 a month. That leaves him or her with a nice paycheck. Eliminate the school staff and overhead and education becomes reasonable again.

Mark Levin has been stating these same things for a decade.
Jesus is the Way, Truth & Life
Righteous indignation that should be preached from the rooftops.
Great way to start Christmas week. Thanks Mr. S.

And he graduated from Annapolis
How many of our recent crash Commanders graduated from Annapolis ? jus asking for a friend .
Splash! OMG. 😆
Splash was the name of the “Lyin’ of the Senate’s” dog.
For a long time, the Boston Herald referred to that murderous drunken ogre as Splash.
Mary Jo Kopechne is unavailable for comment.
Nobody ever talks about how deep was Teddy's car was found in the water. Only 61/2 feet. Anybody find that a little odd? 🤔
I don’t want to start a conspiracy theory here, but from that depth, most people could get out. Perhaps MJ was already gone?
MJ did NOT drown. Her death was suffocation after the air pocket in the car was depleted of oxygen. She likely was disoriented and unable to get the door open.
read Senatorial Privilege if you want the truth, not the Boston Globe’s whitewashed version of the truth.
My FIL used to call him "The Midnight Swimmer".
Could that be why his nephews (William Kennedy-Smith) defense team asked him to be a character witness at his rape trial?
Floater is the one that gave jug ears his White House dog, coincidentally, a Portuguese water dog.
Unavailable. Sad but true.
Even worse, Greg, is that her parents took a massive bribe from the Kennedy Klan for no autopsy to be performed showing two people died, not just one.
Splash needed to remain a viable jacka$$ presidential candidate.
Allegedly a Catholic, fathering a child out of wedlock would not have helped his presidential bid.
I despise that whole korrupt klan.
And don't forget that the sainted JFK turned the White House into a whorehouse, which was assiduously overlooked by the press. But you could argue that Bobby junior's present activism is some compensation.

Don Surber and Mark Steyn finally together. My kind of writing; humor, wit and wisdom.
I wish they would have picked him to fill Rush's slot.
Me too, Frick and Frack are pretty weak.
I would have even preferred Buck by himself; Clay Travis is a self-centered, pompous blowhard...he has none of the true humility that Rush always had (even when he said he was right 98.6% of the time...or whateverthe % was...). Miss Rush a lot!
Rush was right 99.6% of the time.
The other.4% he thought he was wrong, turned out he was mistaken.
Dittos !!
Frick and Frack are ridiculously pathetic. I have no idea how they actually believed that a moron like Clay Travis was the voice to replace Rush! I can't stand him and will turn the radio off rather than listen to him. I once heard him scoffing that the reason our congressmen were so bad was that the salary was embarrassing to low and we needed to pay much higher salaries to get better people. He said good people would refuse to prostitute themselves for just $174,000 per year. The clown is a legend in his own feeble worthless mind.
$174K is plenty for a part-time job & all the perks they get. They also get to blow campaign money on all sorts of crap. If they could just ban insider trading, we wouldn't have career politicians & there would be no need for term limits.
If we gave them no salary they'd still become millionaires from the kickbacks.
Me too.
Me three.
I heard his health is not up to it any more.
Yes. I love them both. All my heroes are happy warriors.
Double "Like"

Yer...AHHH..nus as Tom Brokow pronounded it.

Please indulge me a moment. No better assessment of the Musselman exists than that of Winston Churchill:
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property—either as a child, a wife, or a concubine—must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
"Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities... but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith."
This is what we face, and we face it in the backdrop of American woman who are loathe to get in bed, get their pants off and do their duty while muslims are having 5, 6, 7 children at a pop. Take literally five minutes and draw out the descendant charts for a family of three down the line and one of seven, then seven again, then seven again. Since most muslims don't allow their women birth control and Western men generally don't want Western women, I think you see the problem. In 100 years, South Korea - demographically in most trouble - is projected to vanish.
And what does that all mean? Churchill strikes again. "When Islam is in the minority, they are concerned with minority rights. When they are in the majority, there ARE no minority rights." All you AWFLs with your "Handmaid's Tale" getups get ready, c'os if you don't get your priorities straight, soon your daughters will be wearing those far-less-fashionable burquas.
Great line: "When Islam is in the minority, they are concerned with minority rights. When they are in the majority, there ARE no minority rights." Same as that post about "decent Muslims" - only decent while they're in the minority.
You misspelled grave, or maybe you meant mineshaft instead of minority?
Just meant that I thought the 2 lines I put in quotes was a GREAT line.
I'm just saying that if you change that very last "minority" to "grave", you hit it right on the mark.
Perhaps this clear eyed view of Islam is part of why Tucker allowed the far-from-imminent podcast/“historian” Darryl Cooper to label Churchill a war criminal.
I don’t want an Al-abama!!! Don , you’re killing me🤣🤣
One of my Christmas gifts to my husband is a series of books by Raymond Ibrahim: Sword and Scimitar; Defenders of the West; The Two Swords of Christ. If those of us who clearly see what’s coming don’t prepare, we won’t be ready once the barbarians are at the gate. I really thought WTH when GWB called Islam a religion of peace?!! Who got him to say that???
CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations, headquartered on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
It is nothing more than a frontman for the Muslim Brotherhood.
Ron DeSantis just declared CAIR a terrorist organiaztion. I hope JD has the cajones as big as those because he is going to need them.
I remember when George Wanker Bush included CAIR to a White House event to show the world Americans don’t hate Muslims. Wanker was a “tip of the hat” to Mark Steyn. 🇬🇧
Nailed it.
With the exceptions of Reagan and Trump, all Presidents since the 3rd Worst President in American History, have celebrated Kwanzaa, a made-up afro-holiday from the mid ‘60’s, and referred to Islam as peaceful.
W was most certainly “misunderestimated”.
Whoever benefited from it. 'Qui Bono.' Another term worthy of often reference.
Right again Alice.
That's what I'd like to know. I wanted to punch the TV when I saw & heard him say that. Only thing I found on who wrote that line: "The specific authorship of the phrase "Islam is a religion of peace" as used by George W. Bush is not definitively attributed to a single writer in the provided context."
I guess that was the beginning of using “Islamophobia” as an excuse for the terrorists.
And we all know it's not a phobia when they really do want to kill us.
Islam has never been a "religion of peace." From its very beginning, it was spread primarily by conquest and colonization, and maintained by oppression. Yes, there are some individual Muslims who are decent; but they are a minority. The mass of Muslims are also very prejudiced against anyone who is not Muslim. The African slave trade was started by the Muslim Arabs, and dominated by them for centuries; and just as many black slaves were sent to the Muslim Ottoman Empire as were sent to the Americas. (So why don't today's Muslim countries have a large black population? Because all of the male slaves were castrated before being sent north!) They also had white slaves--Turkish and North African ships raided all over Europe, not just the Mediterranean coast, but as far as Iceland, taking slaves.
Read a great “joke” just the other day:
Someone throws a $10 bill out into the center of the road.
On the Northside of the street Santa Claus is standing.
On the South, the Tooth Fairy.
On the West is a Moderate Muslim.
On the East is a radical Muslim.
Question:
Who gets to the $10 bill first?
Answer:
The radical Muslim. All the rest are fictitious characters.
Also heard back in the 911 days:
The radical Muslims want to kill us.
The moderate Muslims want the radical Muslims to kill us.
I repeat that as often as I can.
The "decent Muslims" will be decent as long as they are the minority - once they become the majority, they'll be domineering - not decent.
Dearborn / prime example !!
"Islam has never been a "religion of peace." "
It is a religion of deception, death, and conquest. In that order.
I think conquest is first given how things are going in the Western world.
No, deception is the first step, then conquest, finally, death .
Mr. Surber, your poll’s a bit skewed. Al-abama has some of the most beautiful women in America. You also forgot the most important and obvious answer: bloodthirsty Muslim savages hate bacon!
Muslims refuse to assimilate and Islamic ideology is incompatible with western values and traditions. Case in point: Ilhan Omar and her inbred extended family do not belong here.
Big fan of Mark Steyn and always enjoyed when he sat in for Rush Limbaugh.
I read his book when it was released and he put into words a big more eloquently than I what I’ve been saying since my teenage years, which was a long time ago.
America has become far too complacent.
Paraphrasing #40 “guard freedom and liberty vigilantly or else lose it forever.” We have a 2nd Amendment for a reason.
Brussels, Belgium is where the United Nations belongs, minus the United States. Can we deport the entire UN as persona non grata?
Oh hell, Mr. Surber, most Euro-trash males are more “girlie-men” than “manly-men”. Just look at Macron and Starmer, sitting down to pee.
Poland and Hungary are showing the way. Is anybody watching and listening?
Grumpy Oldman, I agree with every thing you just wrote. Let's go back to 1776 and start there. Tell me where we made our 3 biggest wrong turns and then how do we fix it. I'm serious. Thanks, if you have the time.
no reason to go back that far. all our current problems are fairly recent, within 120 years or so.
it’s relatively simple: IMHO, every Amendment after the 10th should be abolished, especially the 16th, 17th and 19th.
every Cabinet level department, other than State and War, should be defunded and abolished, returning those responsibilities back to each individual state.
NO taxpayer-funded handouts of any kind.
you wanna eat, get a job.
you want clothes, get a job.
you want a house, a car, a vacation, get a mutha’-f*ckin’ job.
generational welfare recipients are bane of civilized societies everywhere.
that’s enough for now.
Darrell, have a Merry Christmas.
I agree
Islam is a primitive doctrine of hate and violence that is not compatible with the Western world. I was banned from Tik Tok for this statement.
Only proving that TikTok is not compatible with Western Civilization either.
You are not wrong. I’m trying not to be like a reformed smoker but overall my mental health, attention span, and productivity at work have all increased.
Good for you! I stopped daily commenting on FauxBook years ago, for the same reason, but unfortunately still have to go in there occasionally to promote music events. I have perfected the art of getting in and out quickly ha ha!
It's kind of a positive that their interface is so abysmally horrid that I spend the entire time yelling at my computer in frustration and scaring my cats.
lol
Islam is a political doctrine not a religion and we have to start treating it that way.
Mark Steyn has been America's Canada-born Casandra for the past two decades or more. His prescience on the subject of "America Alone" has been remarkable and his efforts have not gone unnoticed. He has been attacked by the government of Canada for "hate speech" when he pointed out its willing submission to dhimmitude. He has been subjected to literally a decades-long litigation, ostensibly due to his alleged "defaming" of the climate fraud Michael Mann (which has been financed by some of the most virulently anti-American monied interests extant), but emerged completely triumphant, praise God! However, all of this has wrecked his health, and he is currently recovering from a series of heart attacks that nearly killed him. Nonetheless, he soldiers on. He deserves all the support we can muster, financial and otherwise. But his efforts are not limited to this venue; he is a prolific student and critic of the arts, literature and American musical theater and movies specifically, as well as a brilliantly funny and witty man.
Mark was simply the best substitute host for Rush,
Steyn was educated in England, hence his accent. I am Canadian and he isn't at all culturally Canadian, which is actually blessing for him and I'll still take him. I'll quantify him as an international man like the guy in the old Dos Equis beer commercial. Steyn is one of the most interesting men in the world. He is the staunchest defender of Western civilization that I know of. We need so many more people to start seeing what is at stake, as he did decades ago.
Amen, Steve.
Does he have a web page?
StynOnline I believe
Thanks Marlan
That was a great rant. Some 10, 12 years ago, after I had read America Alone, I convinced my European (now American) wife to read it (her red pill moment). When she told her sister about it the response was to ask if we were in some sort of cult. No curiosity, no interest, just annoyance bordering on anger.
From the description of his newest book, "Christmas in the Age of Bollards":
Welcome to Christmas Week at SteynOnline. To Christianity, this is the season of Advent. To Judaism, this is the climax of Hanukkah. To Islam, this is a target-rich environment.
What follows is even better... the man is a gift.
Steyn is a treasure. I have been reading and following him for more than 20 years. One of his cruises would be my dream vacation.
Excellent and most important article.
The hypocrisy of the Left, when it comes to religion, is nowhere more apparent than in their faux reverence for all things Islam, and virulent detestation of all things Christian.
Islam is merely filling the void left by our country’s ever increasing abandonment of the Judeo-Christian faith, its values, principles and morals, and bringing along with it the judgment for that abandonment.
Without a recommitment to that faith and all that goes with it, our country is done for - it’s just a matter of time.
True.

That is likely the scariest thing you have ever written, Mr. Surber. God help us!
