Feinstein 'Torture Report' outs Charles Martel as Islamophobe

Diane Feinstein's recently released report on controversial CIA interrogation practices indicts, not only the Bush administration, but also all previous administrations going back to the controversial leader of the Franks, Charles Martel, and his victory over the moderate Muslim community at Tours in 732 AD, which can only be described as a gross law enforcement misconduct and hate crime.

Citing inside information from medieval Latin and Arabic sources, the report prepared by Feinstein's staffers details a shocking degree of intolerance and Islamophobia on the part of Charles Martel's administration and the army of Franks, who countered the peaceful expansion of moderate Muslims into Europe via Spain with such violent hatred that historians suspect could only be explained by racist motives.

"Clearly this was racial profiling on part of the Frankish administration," determined Yale historian Dr. Hussein al-Isis. "Franks and other white Europeans were simply uncomfortable around brown Middle Easterners, no matter how harmless their intentions."

While mostly white contemporary historians crowed about a "Christian victory over Islam," understandably bitter and disaffected members of the Muslim community, victimized by Martel's extremist policies, were compelled to fend for themselves while retreating through the Pyrenees shouting, "Hands up, don't spear me!" and "Death to Infidels!" Through no fault of their own, villages were plundered and citizens killed by some of the elements within the otherwise peaceful group of Muslim protesters, who became radicalized as a result of racism and gross civil right violations.

"I was disgusted at what we uncovered," said an indignant Senator Diane Feinstein. "Instead of empathizing with the Muslim community and hearing their side of the story - instead of trying to find common ground and a mutually acceptable compromise through interfaith dialogue and negotiations, the bigoted leader of Franks chose to kill the Muslim leader, Abdul Rahman al-Ghafiqi."

"For this sickening display of barbarism," added Feinstein, "he received the nickname of Martel, meaning 'the Hammer,' and has continued to symbolize the greatest threat to world peace and harmony until his title "the Hammer" was passed to the Republican leader Tom Delay.

"We have only ourselves to blame for this mess," opined foreign policy expert and former presidential candidate, Ron Paul. "If Martel had not unilaterally meddled in Middle Eastern affairs, then there wouldn't have been any of that blowback. The fact that Islam was spreading by violent conquest a century before the Battle of Tours is a direct result of Martel's misguided foreign adventures."

At a White House press conference, President Obama informed reporters that "I just found out about the Battle of Tours while watching History Channel, and let me tell you, nobody is angrier about this than I am. I have asked our outgoing attorney general, Eric Holder, to immediately investigate Martel's activities, to get to the bottom of this issue, and if possible, to take legal action against Charles Martel and the Frankish Kingdom. We will not rest until we have a conviction."

Nevertheless, the president did appeal for restraint. "As you protest, you're probably thinking like I'm thinking: this is the result of over a millennia of documentable Islamophobia. You know, this touches me on a personal level: Abdul Rahman al-Ghafiqi looks just like Michelle with a beard. This isn't just a Shia problem, or a Sunni problem, or a Sufi problem, it's an American problem. While I understand the rage, the calls for Jihad, the desire to impale all white Christians and burn down their churches, let's everybody stay calm and let social justice take its course."

Meanwhile, protesters holding posters of al-Ghafiqi were blocking major highways in large cities across America, and NFL players were seen charging onto the field, then collapsing and shouting, "Hands up, don't spear me!"

As can I. I've read it is something like one out of every 12, better even than the one in 17 who can trace their heritage to Native Americas, which I also can do.

One reason it is so high is math. Your progenitors double every generation going back. By the time you get back 30 generations (roughly 1000 years ago), you have 67 million potential ancestors, or roughly two-thirds of the entire estimated population of Europe at the time.

Of course lack of mobility which led to cousin marriages and the like reduced that actual number considerably and that is why it is 1 in 12 rather than 2 in 3.

You are certainly right; but I don’t feel like putting up with nonsense (I took the time to read the half sentence) and Jim Robinson made that request. For example, I always liked Andrew Jackson, so I bought a brand new awards winning bio of him last summer. I was astonished that the whole thing was written from the standpoint of Jackson being a white supremacist. Shortly afterward, my nephew gave me a lecture on how American history was the history of white supremacy. He had just finished an American history course in college. He was a bit surprised when I went ballistic. I think I disabused him of that little error. As for the satire, you can find seriously written essays that are not too far from it. If it had not been for Boehner, I probably would have read it and laughed.

Bump to the top. I think this photo needs some renewed attention given the events of last week.

As bad as I feel for the French right now, I can't bring myself to put the tricolor flag of the French Revolution on my Facebook profile. Those who know the history of France and its modern post-World War II war on religion know this is a country which has not just decades but centuries of hatred for Christianity.

There is no country in Europe which has a longer history of being friendly toward Islamic radicals. The Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini lived in France when the Shah of Iran threw him out. Many others did the same.

If you've read the ISIS statement justifying its attack on France — and I have — they blast Paris as a “capital of prostitution and obscenity” but also as “the carrier of the banner of the Cross in Europe.” Link here: https://ent.siteintelgroup.com/Statements/is-claims-paris-attacks-warns-operation-is-first-of-the-storm.html

How could that be? Islam, like most other non-Christian religions, focuses not so much on personal faith but rather on culture. In their view, the French are a Christian nation. Well maybe they were in the days of Charles Martel — the Frankish warlord who stopped the Muslim advance out of Spain and into Europe. But that was nearly thirteen centuries ago in the year 732 at the Battle of Tours.

I hope the attack on France shows clearly that people who think we can claim Muslim attacks will stop if we say we are not a Christian nation are deluded. France is a secular nation in all senses of the word. Even their conservative political parties are secular and would be extreme leftists in America.

But they are still attacked as “the carrier of the banner of the Cross in Europe.” France is no cross-carrier. But a good case can be made that America is (or at least has been in our past) and we might find the sword of the Cross is more powerful that the crescent of Islam. It certainly is more powerful than the atheism of the French Revolution.
