Our Hearts Weep For Lahore Too

One of the glaringly under appreciated facts in the media reporting of radical Islamic terrorism, is the fact that the overwhelming number of victims of such acts are brown people who are Muslims. The recent attacks in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, and in Lahore, Pakistan, clearly bear this out.

Ever since the attacks in Paris and subsequently in Brussels, Europe has been high alert and the news media has been running non-stop coverage of the attacks, their aftermath, and the implications for safety and security in Europe. Belgians have publicly questioned why their country in particular has been singled out for attacks, despite the fact that Belgium has not played a significant role in Middle East politics. But even more incredulous are the attacks on innocent populations in Muslim countries themselves. The attack this past Easter Sunday that killed over sixty people at a theme park in Lahore, Pakistan is sadly not an uncommon occurrence. Over the past year alone, there have been over thirty terrorist attacks, killing several hundred people in the country. The loss of life has been horrific; the willingness to target innocent civilians, including defenseless children, nothing short of barbaric.

The attacks in Africa have also raised eyebrows, but not really the attention of the West. They are seen as purely African issues, and not related to the global fight against radical Islam. But terrorist attacks in Mali, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Kenya and Nigeria have all been sponsored by African affiliates of global jihadist organizations. Some of the African attacks on civilian targets have allegedly come as retaliation for France’s increased aggressiveness against radical Islamic groups in former French territories such as Mali and Algeria.

Despite the fact that the global war on terror is in fact, well, global, a disproportionate amount of media attention in the West has focused on the attacks occurring in Europe and America. While this is to some degree understandable, in the West has a self-referential orientation, it represents a missed opportunity for the media to underscore the true globalist threat posed by radical Islam.

And more importantly, it tends to set up an us-vs-them dynamic in which all Muslims or Syrian refugees (for example) are painted with a broad brush. By trying to isolate the threat of Islamic extremism by blanket condemnations of entire religious or ethnic groups, we blind ourselves to the need to join with others to change the conditions in which extremism foments and flourishes. We need to encourage those people in Pakistan who know where these extremists live to come forward and help us to root them out. Those in the governments of these countries who are in bed with extremist elements need to be outed as well. This pertains to Saudi Arabia as well as Pakistan, who on the surface appear to be allies of the West, but in reality are running their own ethnic and religious wars in contravention of Western interests.

There are plenty of good people in these countries who do not want to have extremists blowing them up, killing their wives, mothers and children indiscriminately. The media needs to shine a light on the everyday Iraqi or Nigerian or Pakistani person who is caught up in the throes of global jihadist war that is not of their making, or even of their real concern. And in doing so, we can help to show that the West’s concern for human rights is not merely a concern for the rights of its citizens to be free of terroristic violence, but also a principled position against human rights abuses around the world.

It is certainly tempting in the midst of such cowardly acts of violence to close ourselves off from the rest of the world; to insist on our own safety first. But the facts plainly suggest that we not only have to try and secure our own borders, but we have to go into these various snake pits and destroy them too. The reasons why are apparent. Firstly, a lot of this extremism and the ideology that supports it is being spread online. It does not matter whether we ban foreign citizens from visiting U.S. soil. Most of the attacks by radical Islamists on American soil, for example, have been carried out by U.S. citizens with every right to be here. Many of them have been radicalized on the internet. But secondly, and more importantly, we have a duty to our fellow man to try and relieve their suffering if we can.

One of the most demoralizing effects of terrorism is the sense that the government is powerless to stop violence being committed against its’ own people. Several cabinet Belgian cabinet ministers – including the interior and justice ministers – offered their resignation in the wake of the Brussels attacks. The Pakistani government has been under similar pressure from a population that has grown numb with fear and almost become resigned to senseless violence being a fact of public life. But the media also has a role to play in the proliferation of terrorism. Those in the media should exhibit just as much empathy for innocent lives lost in Lahore or Abidjan as they do for lives lost in Paris or Brussels. Failing to do so sends a message to the terrorists that some lives matter more than others, and sets up a high stakes game of cat and mouse that just cannot be won in the conventional manner.

Speaking as a person who lived for some years in Pakistan, I must add a different perspective.

People by and large live in the societies they create. This is especially true of Pakistan which under the influence of Islam, threw off the effects of centuries of civilizing influence from the British and established in its stead a society based on and aswim in the tenets of various forms of Islam, which promptly went to war with each other and with the various ethnic and linguistic groups native to the subcontinent.

Europe too, has known more than its share of linguistic, cultural, ethnic and political strife. But, fortunately much of that strife was exorcised by the last great European war.

After decades of relative peace and national and international amity, the Europeans made the mistake of thinking that the entire world had evolved as they had and out of a misbegotten sense of brotherhood decided to admit literally millions of hardened and hateful people sharing none of the European traditions of religion, brotherhood, and legal stability. As a result these newcomers have unloaded on Europe the same pestilence of strife, murder, rape, arson, pedophelia and worse in Europe as at home.

So while I can excuse the Europeans to a degree for their stupidity, I can’t so easily excuse the Pakistanis for their hate, violence, moral corruption, and murderous vengefulness. It was not forced upon them, or stumbled into by mistake. THEY CHOSE IT, and called it Islam.

In Lahore, the jihad killers killed Christian children and their mothers for playing in a park after celebrating Easter. In the Ivory Coast, the jihad killers asked people if they could recite the Muslim statement of faith, and killed those who could not. The examples the author gives do NOT bear out his thesis.

I would guess he is correct that most of the victims of Muslims are other Muslims, but only because of opportunity: non-Muslims are the preferred targets, but having largely driven the kuffir from their lands, the Muslims usually must resort to sect and tribal warfare.

Killings of the “Good” (Christian (peaceful)-worldview types) is being orchestrated by the super elite satanic cartel who fund and arm all the killers—like they did the homosexual communists/homosexual Brownshirts and Bolsheviks, to even kill and torture mothers and babies. Total immoral satanists are being deliberately put into EVERY corner of the World.

They need to create a “State of Fear” to destroy Freedom, and destroy the Christian Worldview in children—the God is Dead “Postmodernism” to destroy critical “thinking’ (Classical Christian Education) in the masses for programming so they can flip Good and Evil and make Evil into Good. When Just Law promotes Evil, it will corrupt civil societies and collapse them. (Cicero).

Michael Crichton wrote about the State of Fear and possibly got himself killed for daring to conflict with the Global Warming cabal who make trillions off of the “warming” scam. (Professor at UC Davis). Crichton had a run-in with the great (truthful/LOL) Charlie Rose-—(can’t do that and keep your “platform” and live).

Rose controls what you have to “think”, don’t cha know. He is funded by the CIA/sodomite cartel who pass the boys around like in the Franklin Cover-Up, which got Ted Gunderson and William Colby killed—Truth will set them “free”.

We have been DUPED-—by the evil, satanic, psychopaths who control over 90% of the World and almost ALL of our information and ALL the textbooks in public schools (Common Core)......and we “wonder” “why” this nonsense-—killing-the good and destroying the natural family and destroying countries originate????

....so they can literally flood other countries with chaos— to destroy the “stable” countries. This is their M.O for World Control-—and they are intentionally making your children into programmed, irrational dummies—where Up is Down, totally emasculating and homosexualizing all boys, and “Boys are Girls” for insanity (irrational psychopaths) for their utopia which will erase ALL biological connections, concepts of Mother and Father, so the State can easily become God and your object of Trust/Loyalty instead of family.

Marx knew that the only way for “utopia” is totalitarian control over every idea and thought inside a child’s head. Mother and Father has to be eliminated so every emotion in a child is controlled and directed (shaped) by the State——that individualism/Free Will comes only in a Free culture where individual Natural Rights come only from God and children can live in a safe environment-—one without Fear. That is why the chaos is needed-—to emotionally DESTROY the children in those countries and destroy their ability to think critically which can only be done inside the Natural Family (Reality/Truth).

Without the loving Natural Family, children will be controlled ONLY by warped emotions and warped irrational attachments-—which is easily controlled by the MSM/rhetoric/Words which will control their “belief” system like Fichte’s 1810 little wet dream desired. Children will be raised without a loving mother and father to believe that “snow is black” (totally irrational, tribal, serf mind removed completely from Reality (trans-humanism of J. Huxley).
