Just a little update from the religion of peace, taken from the website of the same name. As of today, there have been 15,999 deadly terrorist attacks in the name of islam since September 11th 2001. I’m sure we’ll see the 16,000th before the ninth anniversary of that fateful day, this Saturday. 16,000 divided by nine: Only 1,777 per year. Why so few, you ask? Because islam is the religion of peace, innit!

And because only a tiny minority carry out these attacks. Probably the same 1,777 people travelling around.

I Am A Total Racist

I have a vice. Yes, people, a guilty, stinking VICE! After I stopped shooting up mary-hooana as well as crossing the street on red light after I got fined $300 for “jaywalking” (sounds like “joyful walking” doesn’t it) in Central in 2003 - there were so many policemen there telling me not to walk that I just had to do it for the sake of it because nobody can tell me what to do (yes I have father issues) - I have only one tiny little vice left: I spend HK$100 every week on the Sunday Times.

I know, I know. The SCMP is only 7 dollars so why pay an extra $93 for just another English language paper, right? It’s just that I need to read some well written articles that don’t praise Donald Tsang occasionally. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago there was a six page article in that paper’s magazine that really caught my eye.

The headline was: England’s Green and Prejudiced Land, and it was about racism.

Naturally, that touched a nerve with me as I had just been called a “racist cunt” in this forum for saying - oh, something about how I don’t want the world to become islamic. Anyway, the article was written by one David James Smith who is obviously a writer for said newspaper; if he wasn’t (weren’t, I always forget which) I doubt if he’d ever got such a badly written and deeply boring piece through the hallowed doors of the Sunday Times.

It was all about him (a white guy) being married to a black woman and moving to Lewes, a small town in England, after having fled London where they had felt “a vague unease at the potential for urban crime.”

Well, unfortunately Lewes was even worse, for guess what happened? Their neighbour turned out to be a member of the BNP!!!! After this lead-up, I naturally expected a harrowing story of how this fascist nazi had racially harassed them, but no, he “never gave us any trouble. He ignored us.” He also seemed “strange, withdrawn,” but that could have been down to his wife having “died sometime earlier.” After this non-event, the BNP neighbour eventually moved away.

Riveting stuff indeed, but the real drama had been how this BNP member had been sitting not two feet away from Smith, separated only by a “wafer thin wall,” spewing out racial hatred on his computer. Smith assumed.

But then things started to happen. Smith’s wife had gone for a drink with some local women and been assured that there was no racism in Lewes! What can be more racist, Smith asks.

Worse: People would sometimes mistake Petal (his wife) for the other black woman in the village.

Yes, yes, I impatiently thought, reading through page after page looking for the good racist tidbits. Mistaking black people for each other, deeply insulting to be sure, but where is the good stuff?

It was this: His daughter had been told by a teacher that she had “frizzy hair.” In another incident, when the students at his daughter’s school wanted to give each other nicknames and someone suggested “chocolate-brown bear” for his daughter, that girl had said NO, that’s racist. Way to go, girl, stand up for yourself. But not really a cause for daddy rushing to the school to complain?

In another incident “Mackenzie (Smith’s son) was under a desk while he and another boy cleared up some paper at the teacher’s instruction. Mackenzie has a male teacher, part time, that year and the teacher asked him to come out. Mackenzie didn’t hear him, the teacher became exasperated and grabbed Mackenzie’s leg and yanked him out.”

Smith feels this is also racism and immediately goes to the school to sort things out with the teacher, concluding that “it seemed certain that [the teacher's] perception of who or what Mackenzie was had got in the way of normal teacherly conduct. ” Yes. A teacher yanks your son’s leg - racist!

In fact, according to the article, Smith spends most of the time when he’s not writing badly, running around between his children’s schools and various local community centres, complaining about people saying words like “frizzy” and “coloured” and teachers’ “preconceived idea that [black or mixed race children] fare worse than their white counterparts in secondary school.”

The next week there was a storm of letters to the Sunday Times, mostly from black British people telling Smith to get a grip, so all is not lost.

Yes, I laughed many times when I read that article.

I thought about how many times Hong Kong people have told me Cantonese is “too difficult for me” (but not for Indonesian helpers) how people call me a devil every day, ( yeah, I know HK people prefer to translate 鬼 (gwai) as “ghost” but really, is it any better?) how I’m always served jasmine tea without anyone asking me what tea I would like because all whitey drink jasmine and jasmine only, how people don’t want to sit next to male whitey (of course not me - that would be too much) on the MTR, how people treat me like a dog that can ride a bicycle every time I say “hello” in the local language, how Hong Kong people rejoice in telling me that all westerners are sluts and how, if I for example ask them to pick up their dog poo I keep stepping in everywhere I go, that I should “fuck off back to England.”

I wonder what Smith would make of that? But then of course, anything directed at whitey isn’t racism. Everyone knows that. We just have to suck it up and laugh about it. And you know what? I think we should. Racism is something that only the people who are hysterically over-aware of the colour of other people’s skin keep blathering on about. I don’t think it’s in any way helping Smith’s daughters - whose hair definitely isn’t straight - that he keeps running to the school every other day to complain about people saying they have frizzy hair.

I know, I know, a parent wants to keep his children away from harm, and it is indeed awful to be called names at school. We all know that. But - according to the article it seems this guy is on the hyper-alert 24 hours a day. “You said black? You said frizzy? That’s not how we did it in London, multi-cultural capital of the world! I demand that this little village in Sussex becomes like London but without the vague unease about potential for urban crime!”

Racism is awful and we should all fight against it. But as “they” say: The best revenge is to live well. I’m sure we all, as this Smith geezer’s children, will be much better off if we just forget about the racism and start to genuinely live as if we’re “colour blind.”

That means that you can criticise somebody for what they do and how they do it without being called racist. It means that you can criticise Obama without being called racist. It means you can say Donald Tsang looks ridiculous “mourning” the victims of the hostage tragedy in the Philippines wearing what seems to be a dinner jacket, without being called racist.

And it means I can say that I disagree with the ludicrous notion that the whole world will be better off if we would only wear tents with only one to two eyes showing, stone people to death if they’ve committed adultery, hang homosexuals and rape nine-year olds, without being accused of being racist. If being against any totalitarianism is racist, then I’m definitely a total RACIST. And proud of it.

Here is the latest from my man Pat Condell, the funniest truth-teller on the block. If you’ve ever used the word “islamophobic” not as a joke, to describe someone who is afraid that their daughters in the future may get raped and called a whore by muslim immigrants because she lives like a normal Western woman - oh, hang on, that’s already happening - this video clip is for you!

If you think it’s racist to say that you’re against muslims setting up their own enclaves, refusing to follow the law in the country in which they settle (on increasingly flimsy premises - whatever happened to “fear of being persecuted in own country”)and trying to change the laws in the countries they ~~invade~~ settle, watch Pat in action!

And if you think he’s only a curmudgeonly, right-wing, western scaremonger who doesn’t know anything about islam (you do; it’s the religion of peace because muslims say so) you should check out Brigitte Gabriel (Lebanese, escaped from being massacred by muslims) Wafa Sultan (ex muslim currently living with a death fatwa) Walid Shoebat (ex muslim PLO terrorist, dedicated his life to helping other apostates - for you did know leaving islam gives any muslim the right to kill you, didn’t you?) Bat Ye’or, renowned psychiatrist who coined the phrase dhimmitude, Robert Spencer (islamic scholar who knows the koran inside out and has written several books on the topic) and of course the formidable Ayaan Hirsi Ali, (Somalian ex muslim who suffered female genital mutilation and a forced marriage before escaping to the west.)

What, you don’t believe them either? Still think islam is the religion of peace? Still think only a “tiny minority” of nutcases suddenly and inexplicably suffered a temporary breakdown, that they in fact went against the religion of peace when they carried out the Bali bombings, 9/11, London 7/7 as well as more than 15,500 other deadly terrorist attacks since 2001; the Fort Hood murders, the knicker-bombing, shoe-bombing, arse-bombing and all the other violent attacks, successful or botched, we’re seeing all over the world, every single day? You don’t think it was because their murderous ideology explicitly told them to?

I would also prefer that the people currently speaking out against islam weren’t right. Unfortunately, the sand I could have stuck my head in, willing myself not to see, has long ago turned to cement.

So our charming band of bearded friends over at the Religion of Peace and Tolerance have been at it again, this time in Sydney.

In a move that, if we hadn’t heard quite a few similar stories over the years, would astonish the casual observer, the leader of global Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir, Burhan Hanif, told his equally shaving equipment-phobe fellows that democracy is “haram” (forbidden) for muslims and that Australian muslims shouldn’t follow the law in the country in which they live.

Only sharia law (please google it or open any newspaper any day of the week to read about the honour killings, stonings, persecution of infidels, meddling in people’s most minute daily lives and general insatiable bloodthirst set out in the book if you still don’t know what sharia law is) is suitable for muslims said Hanif, remarking that “no humans had the right to make laws.”

That would sound almost good; freedom-loving, like, if it hadn’t been coming from a guy who thinks it’s okay to bury your daughter alive because she has talked to a boy.

What, Hanif didn’t say that? But by saying only sharia law should be allowed, he fully endorses daughter-burying, sister-killing, female genital mutilation and more. Islam isn’t something from which you can pick and choose - it is what it is. It’s wholesale.

I can’t believe the Western media is still harping on about “moderate islam” and “moderate muslims” when the muzzies themselves repeatedly and clearly have stated there is no such thing. The “moderate islam” illusion is just wishful thinking from people who stick their heads in the sand, hoping that on the day of reckoning they will be beheaded last. Wherever the muslims assemble in any numbers, they become more radical, not less, as witnessed recently in Indonesia, Malaysia and countless African countries.

I did mention that this conference took place in Sydney, right? Sydney, Australia, where all the 500 participants at the conference have chosen to live, for god knows what reason, seeing how “unclean” and terrible that country is, how unsuitable for the chosen ones.

God knows what reason - or maybe I know what reason. For being muslim, they also have the duty to go out and make the whole world submit to islam, that’s right. That’s why they sacrifice themselves, going to hardship postings like Australia, Germany and France, away from the comforts of Pakistan, Afghanistan and the lovely Saudi Arabia, that paragon of well - and correctly functioning society.

I’m not in favour of “banning” this and “forbidding” that. But it does seem like people like Hanif are actually the enemy of the countries in which they have settled. Because you don’t for a moment think that when they’ve got the segregation and “one law for muslims only” thing they’re angling for, that they will stop at that? They have been saying one thing and one thing only from the 6th century AD:

That the whole world must be islamic, ruled by sharia law.

This is no secret. Who do so many refuse to believe it?

So when the result of free speech and not banning this and that is that an enemy of a country clearly states within that country that he wants to dismantle that country’s laws and crush it from within, then I’m starting to have a problem with it. And don’t give me the: “I will fight to the death for your right to say it” crap that the muslims never waste any time in invoking. Because they never had any intention of letting anyone else disagree with their views in the first place.

They will fight you to the death if you use your right to say it, though. That’s almost the same.

Oh, look what I just discovered while looking for something else:

A woman in London couldn’t bring her dog on the bus because “there was a muslim lady on the bus who might get upset.” The driver of the next bus was a muslim, so naturally he denied her and the dog access to the bus.

You’d think, upon reading this, that my first reaction would be: “Ha? Since when has Britain been a muslim country? The London buses since when subject to sharia law? And: If allah is so bloody almighty, why did it create so many unclean animals and people in the first place?”

But no, my first reaction was: Ha? You can bring dogs on buses in Britain? What a paradise!

Hong Kong people don’t need to use the ridiculous pretext of religion to get rid of/avoid everything they don’t like. They just come right out and say it: “We hate dogs because they are scary. They bite everybody, sometimes lick.”

I think that’s much more honest than setting up this whole prophet/jihad/take over the world thing.

Just when you thought Saudi Arabia couldn’t get any more ridiculous (at least if you have half a gram of brain cells to rattle together) out comes another cleric, imam or whatever, to prove that the Saudis far out-weird the North Koreans in way of thinking not fit to be around humans:

The one-eyed burqa, also known as “The Cyclops”.

Well, you could see it coming, couldn’t you. At least if you have two eyes.
Soon it’ll be the “no eyes, feel your way from the house to the market and back to the kitchen” burqa. And if you fall into a manhole or off a cliff, well, that’s just Allah’s righteous punishment for you having the nerve to be born a woman.

(You’d think Allah, being so powerful and that, would have made sure there weren’t any women at all, filthy things, and that men could have sons by scratching their beards or something.)

Some apologists in the west and indeed some of these trussed-up slaves to ever-more chauvinistic men themselves keep bleating on about how “liberating” the burqas are; how free they make women!

I wonder what’s so liberating about not being able to breathe, to see nothing except what’s right in front of you and to choke on your own sweat. Not to mention the chronic vitamin D deficiency, the injuries from stumbling and getting caught in stuff and not being able to run or move freely. There’s a reason we normal women gave up the crinoline and the corset more than a hundred years ago.

Also - is it biologically correct for women to wear the same outfit as all the other women, every day, everywhere?
Personally I leave a party if another woman there is wearing the same … oh, I don’t know, watch, as me. Social death!

Poor slaves. But you know, it’s Saudi Arabia. They will live in the year 1201, and there’s nothing we can do. And frankly, I don’t really care.

What I do care about is when the Saudi ideology is exported whole-sale to my country and forced upon the people there. It’s already happening. And Saudi oil money is pouring into western companies and universities, slowly forcing those institutions to change their policies to suit misogynist, childish, peevish, hysterical, humourless, medieval muslim sensibilities.

Here’s an interesting snippet, a close-up look at the “tiny minority” fighting an “inner struggle” for the “religion of peace.” Yesterday I read that music is now banned in Somalia (another victory for islam, hooray) but it seems that droning on about (I presume) Allah being cool or whatever, doesn’t count as music? Anyway, “enjoy”:

“Moderate …” “Tiny minority …” “Raping Girls Condoned …”

I read this blog, Winds of Jihad, every day. When I first started reading it, the blogmeister, Sheikyermami (who no doubt has an enormous price on his head) posted maybe one item a day, taking Sundays off.

Now, there are so many postings per day about beheadings, hand-choppings, stonings, little girls dying from having their genitals mutilated, daughters killed by their fathers for having been raped, couples killed for meeting, gays killed for being gay - etc, that it’s almost impossible to find posts and comments from even a few days earlier. They drown in an ever-increasing tide of new, increasingly outrageous, news segments from the world of islam.
And that’s not counting the daily stories about western politicians doing their utmost to accommodate muslims so that western countries too will one day enjoy the security and peace and moderation of living under sharia law.

This blog, although I’m sure many will try, can’t be discounted as “islamophobic” or exaggerating, because most links are to sites and tv stations run by muslims themselves. So when you read about for example how Palestine children are encouraged to take up arms and eventually blow themselves up by an avuncular voice and fun animal figures on children’s TV, you can’t think: “That must be a vicious rumour put out by the enemies of islam, right-wing fascists and anti-multiculturalists and anyway it’s just a tiny minority and we’re all the same, really” because you’ll be able to watch those particular tv shows (for there are more than one, oh yes) right on the site.

Today’s most succulent piece of news from Winds of Jihad must be from Indonesia, long held up as a beacon of “moderate islam” where all the muslims live in constant peace with each other and with infidels too! Women, who don’t even have to wear full burqa but can show their entire faces, can leave the house un-chaperoned if they want, (with female genital mutilation on the rise, what could they really get up to anyway) - verily, Indonesia is the poster boy of modern, cool and happening islam.

And now its progressive leadership is doing away with another stupid taboo while attracting overseas tourists: Pedophiles from the western world, recently less able to operate freely in Asia, will rejoice in the knowledge that when Indonesia switches to full sharia law or even before, all they have to do is go there, convert to islam and start living the life of Reilly. Or Gary Glitter.

(Jakarta Globe)- Taking Islamic law as its guide, leading Muslim organization Nahdlatul Ulama on Friday issued a fatwa declaring underage marriage acceptable as long as the purpose of the union was to build a happy family.

Cholil Nafis, secretary of the committee for religious issues for this past week’s 32nd NU congress, said the gathering had agreed that there should be no age restrictions on marriage because sacred Islamic verses or regulations had not stipulated a minimum age.

“They can get married at any age, even girls who haven’t started menstruating,” he said. “And they can have intimate relationships and intercourse, as long as they are able.”

Cholil said Islamic law only suggested that marriages would be better after a woman had her first period.

“As long as the objectives of the marriage are positive, it is allowed,” Cholil said. “Mind you, we don’t encourage people just to get married to fulfill their desires, no,” he added.

I think that’s pretty progressive and groundbreaking, don’t you? Who wouldn’t let their, say, nine year old daughter marry some 45 year-old, as long as the objectives of the marriage are positive? The positive objective being that muslim men should be able to rape absolutely anyone they want?
