For Whom the Minaret Tolls ... Mark Steyn
Steyn Online ^ | 11 Feb 2015 | Mark Steyn

I'm coming out of a week-and-a-half of sub-par health, and playing catch-up on the last few days' news. Much of it is just new trees in the same old forest: the remorseless retreat of American power in the world - ie, "Yemen Rebels Seize U.S. Embassy Vehicles As Diplomats Flee".

But some of it is almost too cute. In Paris, the street artist Combo has been beaten up by four "young people" who objected to his "Co-Exist" poster:

Combo declined to discuss the identity of his assailants. "It would only add fuel to the fire," he told the French newspaper...

During a residency in Bayreuth, he grew his beard and started wearing the traditional Muslim dress—not because he was increasingly attracted to a more fundamentalist version of Islam, but, again, to disrupt established codes. To his friends asking him whether he was "going to jihad" in Lebanon, he answered, "I'm going to ji-art."

"First I thought I was French, but I quickly understood that I was Arab, then beur (French slang for second and third generation North African), now I'm told I'm Muslim," Combo continued, talking of the French des-integration.

Reclaiming the djellaba, the artist's inclusive messages have cropped up all over Paris. One asked "did you know that Muslims finish their prayers with 'Amen,' like Jews and Christians?" Another read "In France, 50,000 Muslim soldiers protect our country."

But they beat the crap out of him anyway. They don't know much about "ji-art", but they know what they don't like.

That "Co-Exist" sticker? If it weren't for the Islamic crescent in the "C" you wouldn't need a sticker at all.

You forgot Obola’s photograph.

Then again. Obola IS really loyal. To Muslims, gays, communists, and his black voting klick.

Somebody's in for a rude awakening.

Silly liberals. Coexisting is for Islam. Not infidels.

Kayla Mueller RIP. You know this now. And you know the truth about ISIS and Islam and regardless of your duped sympathy for these devils, they felt that you were ...

... no less an infidel than Rumsfeld or Cheney.
