Hostages Taken In Sydney. Guess Who.

Post by Reub »

It seems that the religion of peace has struck again, this time taking hostages in Sydney, Australia. Let's remember to be tolerant and to realize once again that the vast majority of them are peaceful.

I wondered if it was them when the first news reports I saw seemed to go out of their way to avoid mentioning any characteristics of the perpetrators. ::) Dead giveaway.

I'm sure that the reporters were just trying not to give anybody a bad name. The only exception to this rule being white male cops of course.

I am struck over and over by the appearance that Muslim thugs seem to be trying to draw anyone and everyone into the battle against them... that they don't just want to fight the evil US but England, Spain, India, China, Australia and everyone else.

I thought they'd hit Max Brenner, an Israeli-owned chocolate company.

Well you beat me to it in the other thread, so I had to get it in here!  Literally my first thought when I saw these two subject lines next to each other.

"Man rams van into Christmas market in France, injures 10"

http://news.yahoo.com/man-rams-van-chri ... 29451.html

Guess who.

"Local newspaper Ouest France had earlier reported, citing a police officer and witnesses, that the driver shouted "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest" in Arabic). But several witnesses denied to Reuters that he pronounced those words.

The incident comes a day after a man rammed his car into crowds in the eastern city of Dijon, injuring 13 people and shouting "Allahu Akbar". And on Saturday, a man was shot after he stabbed and wounded three policemen in central France while yelling those same words."

I'm all for a pluralistic society, but from time to time I envy the Japanese and their homogeneous islands.
Seems very simple at times like these.


I mean, they're racist and they've got a shrinking and aging population.
But, it does seem simple.

Yes, it makes it simpler to assimilate.  Resistance is futile.  I wouldn't mind moving there myself except I'm not Japanese and I'd tower over them.
