Here's moderate Islam in action. Moderate because the unfortunate woman is not being beheaded. Yet.
I assume the phrase moderate Nazi got your attention.
In fact, you probably got a severe case of mental whiplash because your rational brain said: “Hey, self, there’s no such thing as a moderate Nazi. Nazis are, by definition, genocidal racists.”
For the past few days the American public has been treated to a Pavlovian exercise in liberal linguistics as the mainstream media has pushed their narrative of the “moderate Islamist.”
If they say it often enough it must be true.
Time, formerly a respected news magazine, the AP, Reuters the always dependable anti-Semitic New York Times, report in faux authoratative terms—not one of these reporters speaks or reads Arabic or even pays attention to the poisonous Arab media translated into English—that moderate Islamists are poised to gain power in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya.
These organs of rational Western thought explain that once in power groups like the Muslim Brotherhood will face massive unemployment, food shortages, hunger and disease, all the realities of governance. Thus, they will abandon their Jew-hatred, their covenants of racial and religious hatred, and fall into line as, y’know, rational players.
Of course this was the narrative that was sold when Hamas seized power in Gaza. But Hamas did not become moderate. Quite the opposite. They did not build an economic infrastructure. They built up their weapon supplies and increased their fanatic devotion to a genocidal jihad which, by the way, includes persecuting their very own people.
Islamists care nothing for economic development. They see upward mobility as a Western corruption. The strategy of the Islamists is to use any and all methods—lying to gullible Westerners is totally awesome—to gain and keep power, ultimately ruling by sharia and establishing a transnational caliphate.
Jews, Christians, Hindus, Druze, etc. not welcome. Convert or die. That is the message and the goal of the moderate Islamists so beloved by the liberal media.
Ariel Chaim Avrech, ZT'L, May His Righteous Memory be a Blessing.

Here is a shocking article about the UN and US’s way of deciding how refugees get treated:

Are you saying Joseph Kennedy and Charles Lindbergh were wrong?
Dear Johnny: Charles Lindbergh DID come to realize he’d been wrong, and to place himself and his knowledge of aaerodynamics at the disposal of the U.S. government.
“Moderate Nazi” sounds like a sick joke today, but I woke up this morning, after I read your column yesterday afternoon, Robert, and I remembered my copy of Germany: What Next? Edited by Richard Keane, Penguin : Hammondsworth, Middlesex, 1939, pages 236-238. These discuss Hermann Goering, may his name be erased: “Even if all other of Goering’s achievements are forgotten, he will be remembered as the only Nazi leader who had a sense of humor and enjoyed a joke.” “He has, for some time past, consistantly advocated a moderate policy, and was steadfastly against aggressive or wild adventures.” “Goering has often been criticized for his truculent speeches and brutality. It is true that his speeches are extravagant, and often unprintable in full in civilized countries. But they are known by his hearers to be wildly exagerated and are consequently strongly discounted. He may be coarse and cruel and act violently; but this is usually for some good reason pf strategy or tactics, and he always tries to avoid or repair unnecessary damage and to further a constructive policy.”

CORRECTION-PLEASE DON’T DELETE IT, ROBERT: He (Goering, may his name be erased. This was written in 1939)may be coarse and cruel and act violently; but this is usually for some good reason of strategy or tactics, and he always tries to avoid or repair unnecessary damage and to further a constructive policy.”

Is that a woman doing the caning? All covered up, including gloves, and that bizarre flash of pink. And what’s with the mask over the face veil? This is utterly disgusting, and I’m not referring to the clothing.
The Latin characters in the background — where was this taken? Indonesia, possibly?

I doubt it’s Indonesia, Rahel, those look like caucasian figures.
While Indonesia does have a savage streak of violent Islamism, it doesn’t dominate the discourse as it does in Arabian countries. They may be Muslims, but they’re not Arabs, and that makes for a significant difference.
SE Asian countries do not have a history of proselytising violence. Sure, most of them are Buddhist, but Malaysia and Indonesia have been, for the most part, peaceful and ordered societies. I have friends who’ve lived happily in Java for several years.
I don’t see it as Islam, but Arabic Islam. Can’t help but think that if Islam had never been invented, then Arabs would have developed, say, another strand of Christianity and would still be just as nuts as they are today.
PJ O’Rourke wrote that Arabs were, as individuals, friendly and hospitable. But put them in a mob and they’d all go collectively insane. I think it was in his ‘Holidays In Hell’ book, that I recommend to anyone for the best collection of foreign correspondence ever writ.

I’m not sure which country is hosting this particular caning. Needless to say, caning is common in all Muslim countries.

Gee, it worked out so great in Iran after Jimmy Carter thought the Shah had to go.
Obama keeps doing everything he can to remind us of the peanut farmer.

Early in Obama’s presidency I labeled him Carter II. I was wrong. Obama is far worse.

Brilliant approach, Robert. Let’s get some traction for this way of thinking.
