Eagles of Death Metal' Vocalist Jesse Hughes Says Fear of Offending Muslims 'Making Us Vulnerable'

Jesse Hughes – lead vocalist of the rock band Eagles of Death Metal, which was performing at the Bataclan theatre in Paris when terrorists attacked and killed 89 fans and 130 people overall last November – believes the fear of offending Muslims is making the West vulnerable.

And the fear of offending Muslims, he says in an interview with Taki's Magazine, is a by-product of the culture of liberalism and political correctness being propagated by Western countries.

Asked during the interview if he thought political correctness was "killing our natural instincts and making us vulnerable" in light of the terrorist attack he experienced, Hughes quickly agreed.

"Definitely. There were two girls who were involved. They were at the venue and vanished before the shooting, and these women were in traditional Muslim garb. They knew people wouldn't check them because of the way they were dressed. They got caught a few days later," he said.

He then described the utter shock experienced by many of the victims who were paralyzed by the attack due to the liberal mentality that created a need to surrender.

"Davey [bassist Dave Catching] was in the middle of the stage and when the lights went on, he saw sh*t he'd never seen before in his life, awful stuff. It has no parallel. It's not just death. It's the most unsuspecting, innocent victims you can imagine — people who are gripped in terror and can't move as a result of it," he said.

"I watched about seven people die. A couple of them were three feet from the barrier. They could have fallen backwards and been alive but they were too scared to even turn around. I remember a woman just standing with her hands up in a surrender pose. The terrorist finally saw her and all she did was go, 'No no no.' She surrendered to death in front of my very eyes. I was yelling at her, 'HEY!' and I don't think she could hear me. She was so terrified, I think she'd already given up," he continued.

"I will lay the blame right in its lap," Hughes said of the "liberal need to surrender."

At least 30 people were killed in attacks in Paris and a hostage situation was under way at the concert hall in the French capital, French media reported on Friday.

"When you tell people they can't help themselves and that they're children, you weaken them to a point where three feet away is life and they can't see it because they're too scared," he said. "It's like the bleating sheep from 'Animal Farm.' You suggest anything that strays from the narrative and this chorus of bleats comes to drown you out. This attack didn't happen by accident."

Hughes, also known as The Devil or Boots Electric, was ordained by the Universal Life Church World Headquarters on December 6, 2012, according to SB Wire. ULC is a religious denomination without any traditional doctrine despite the name Church in its title, and will ordain anyone as a minister without going through a process. He told Taki's Magazine that he is pro-gun, pro-Trump and pro-life, and sees the spread of Islam as a problem.

"I saw fear fall like a blanket on the whole crowd and they fell like wheat in the wind — the way you would before a god. I was totally alert from the very beginning. The first thing I needed to do was find my girl. Fear took a backseat and 'where's my girl?' took over. I could smell gunpowder in the backstage area and I knew someone fired a round back there. I saw a guy with an FAL and when he turned to face me his eyes looked like marbles. He was stoned out of his mind, and we now know they (terrorists) were on Xanax and cocaine. I recognized him. I'd seen him earlier in the day and noticed him staring at us," recalled Hughes.

Islam, he agreed with the interviewer, is crying wolf about "Islamophobia in order to anesthetize us and make us easier prey."

"They know there's a whole group of white kids out there who are stupid and blind. You have these affluent white kids who have grown up in a liberal curriculum from the time they were in kindergarten, inundated with these lofty notions that are just hot air. Look at where it's getting them," he said.

I think we all agree they must be stopped. The question is how.

Everyone knows how. The question is when will the civilized world have the will to do what is necessary. That day is not close.

That’s it in a nutshell.

If they’re eliminated, there will be no cause for fear.

WHO, let me repeat for emphasis, WHO, knows what Islam is capable of more than this guy? He saw and experienced more than any of us would ever want to, he nearly was murdered, his merchandiser was.

He is like Donald Trump, speaking honestly. No PC. And for that, France banned his band from the two festivals they were supposed to be in this summer there. EVERYONE IS CHOOSING PROTECTING MUSLIMS OVER PROTECTING THE INNOCENT.

Women in hijabs were part of it and no one has mentioned that until now. He saw the shooter(s) before the show, checking them out. He knows that PC kills and kills cruelly. He is tryng to help us wake up.

Well, for starters we could jam a missile up the backside of any mullah or imam who preaches jihad against the infidels.

If we really wanted to be serious we could seize Saudi Arabia's oil fields and put the Wahabi sponsors on a starvation diet.

No American president is going to do that. They all tell us Islam is a religion of peace.
