The Permanent Emergency
Steyn Online ^ | 05/14/2020 | Mark Steyn, COVID-19

I suppose I might be more optimistic if we hadn't gone through this already with 9/11 - when, as it happens, some serious quarantine might actually have worked. That is, if the western world had been able to bring itself to say, "You know what - and with all due respect to you millions of peaceful Muslims? But we think it best to self-isolate from the contagion of the Koranovirus for a few years and halt all mass immigration from the Islamic world for the duration..."

We really missed the boat not booting all the muslims and isolating them in the Crapistans.

"We’ve ALWAYS been at war with EastAsia."

Not even close, Elsie!

Islam has ALWAYS been at war with EVERYBODY since 622 AD!

IMHO, the sooner westerners admit that Islam is an evil death cult and begin to act accordingly, the better off we will be!

Western liberals will never admit Islam is an evil death cult.....they believe if yuu’re nice to everyone they’ll be nice to you, and if they’re not then it’s your fault.

They’ll be still singing...”We’re in this together” while Isis slits their throat.

Thanks!

Too bad that public outcry against Islam is non-existent!

Where is a Sir Winston Churchill when you need him?

Sir Winston, you will recall, railed for years about the dangers of Nazi Germany, and was roundly criticized for his beliefs and warnings.

Which were later proven to be true.

You will also recall that he warned Westerners about Islam, too.

And, here again, he was right!

I am NOT OK with Islam being given a pass!

When it comes to Coronavirus, you're free to agree with what the WHO and the government are saying - even though what they say this week may disagree with what they said last week. But, if you're two California doctors calmly explaining why their experience with actual patients differs from the pronouncements of Anthony Fauci (who hasn't seen a patient in two decades), YouTube will ban you in the public interest.
