London Mayor Sadiq Khan said it was preposterous for Donald Trump to blame a rise in violent crime in the city on immigration after the U.S. president criticized his handling of crime and militant attacks.

For this Muslim mutt it is not immigration because it is now his town.

Well then, elementary my dear Watsonari:

If it ain’t the “immigrants” it’s your failed policies.

It is not the Amish that run down people with vehicles, stab innocents, bomb buses and the underground.

Mayor Con probably blames Londoners for the crimes. They have what the immigrants want (London) and won’t give it to them.

That’s as preposterous as cousins marrying cousins for centuries and then producing mentally and physically handicapped offspring.

Mayor Khan is probably right. Under Sharia law, almost anything can lawfully done to an infidel by a Muslim. Under the Kafir legal system, these things might be called crimes but under Sharia, they aren’t. So under his “logic” these so-called crimes didn’t occur and thus crime hasn’t really gone up.

Of course he knows this, but remember that the pro-Muslim rhetoric is both slogan and ideology.

Not long ago I observed that there is an extraordinary amount of what C.S.Lewis termed “Bulverism” at work on the Left, which is the tactic to defeat an opponent rhetorically by assigning their positions to anything but reasons, to things like their psychology, sex, or color of their skin instead is the cause of their belief, and to statements like “you only say that because...”. If a view is merely the result of some trait then, paradoxically, it is inherently invalid if it in any way against the zeitgeist of the age ... just as it would be unquestionably valid if an approved of consequence of X or Y trait ... this is what Bulverism has become.

So Islamophobia, like homophobia before it (by design I might add), is a charged leveled at people asserting that some fact about them is the cause for their views on Islam or refugees/migrants and not 14 centuries of Muslim aggression or the current crime statistics of England. The unapproved, and therefore invalid, proposition is one comfortable to the Mayor, who does not in fact have to face an uphill battle to dismiss any criticism of migrants and Muslims in particular. The British government, right down to law enforcement it turns out, is stocked to the gills with people who are at a minimum deathly afraid of being considered Islamophobes.

And, since Bulverism has moved on to be even more pernicious than Lewis first described, this doesn’t work both ways for it would doubtlessly be considered Islamophobic to ascribe attitudes of militant Muslims to their Islam simply because they’re Muslim or to describe the surrender monkeys as defending Islam because they are Leftist. Which is to say that the seriousness of the charges only goes one way.

s Big surprise there when dealing with Leftist! /s

So it is right out to observe the history of Islam, or the facts of the crime statistics, or that (as Stephen Coughlin might try) we can demonstrate that they not only say they are doing it FOR Islam and all we have to prove is that these texts that they use define why they fight ... for all of those REASONS are dismissed as Islamophobic because of some mere fact asserted about us and of course we can’t express a competing Bulverism to dismiss their out of hand defense of Muslims because that falls on the wrong side of the approved of narrative.

These are actually the people who should, were they thinking correctly, be having more children and not fewer. Or at least adopting. But the ability to provide for a larger family, to see them well educated and nourished, which could be viewed as a blessing if people were not selfish, comfort driven and most damningly, generous with their votes rather than their own means is right out is an opportunity that is simply out of fashion with many people.

Without apology there is no endowment to any university more useless and even counterproductive than endowing the arts ... and yet the well heeled all too often seem to think that’s where they can make a real difference. Imagine if instead of being generous to the needy with their votes during their lives and generous to the arts in their deaths so many had just been of their own volition and from their own means seeking to take care of their neighbors and left the rest of us unmolested with their so-called “progressivism”?

We might not have so much crappy art and we might have a culture that still viewed children as a blessing from the Lord rather than a burden or an accomplishment (as in popped out my proof I’m a parent and that’s done and done).

Islam has never been a peaceful religion. From 622 A.D. until now Islam has been spread by the sword.

Yes, it is the religion of conquest and the sword.

I have the same insight into Strzok. He is highly mentally disturbed and dangerously so. The Bureau has fostered a personality disorder that is extremely bulldoggish. He is a mad dog who is absolutely, violently committed to his notions of right and wrong. THis is a severely damaged personality.

So it’s not the immigrants? Then mayor, what did you do to the locals to suddenly make them act this way?
