‘We vomit on all these people who suddenly say they are our friends’ says hebdo toonist

image

Bernard Holtrop admitted the publications new found fame was ‘laughable’
· Dutch-born artist said it had ‘new friends’ after massacre on Wednesday
· He wasn’t at the office on the day because he said he ‘didn’t like meetings’
One of the surviving Charlie Hebdo cartoonists has scoffed at the surge in support for the satirical magazine after the attack, which killed eight of his colleagues and four other victims.
Bernard Holtrop, who was not in the office during the massacre on Wednesday, admitted the publication’s new found fame was ‘laughable’ and comes from people who have ‘never seen it’.
The Dutch-born artist reportedly said the provocative weekly had unexpected ‘new friends’ including the Pope, Queen Elizabeth and Vladimir Putin. ‘It really makes me laugh,’ he added. ‘A few years ago, thousands of people took to the streets in Pakistan to demonstrate against Charlie Hebdo. They didn’t know what it was. Now it’s the opposite.’

continue here

He is one of the original group of cartoonists.  Bmews readers may wonder if this fellow is typical of the group.  Who knows?  But I do know this, and no disrespect to the dead.  These were callous murders pure and simple and I wish the media would stop calling murder, execution. 

That said, generally speaking they had a somewhat skewed idea of humor.

Charlie Hebdo was born in the 70s as a spin-off of a monthly publication called Charlie that focused mostly on comics. At that time, another satirical journal called Hara Kiri was shutdown by French government after making jokes about the death of the General de Gaulle.  Both teams got together and decided to start a weekly magazine mixing satire, comics and cartoons called Charlie Hebdo (hebdo means weekly in French).

Charlie Hebdo’s publishing run has been quoted as 40,000 in some places and 60,000 elsewhere. So perhaps the true number is in between somewhere.

So then, Hara Kiri was shut down by the police and I suppose you can make the argument that free speech and expression were violated by the authorities of that distant day. At the same time however, don’t you have to ask yourself, just what sort of people can find humor in the death of a leading war personality and a very patriotic head of state after that war?  No matter what one thinks of de Gaulle, was that really the right thing to d or the right time?  Couldn’t they have waited a short time?

Please be aware too, that things of that sort are standard fare for the left.

Crowds of Brits happily mocked the death of Margaret Thatcher not long ago, and currently BBC radio is airing a book written by leftist scum, slag Hillary Mantel, “The Assignation of Margaret Thatcher”.  It really is a hate thing with Mantel, but were a celebration made of the death of some grungy lefty, the sky would fall, and people calling themselves Anti Fascists thus justifying illegal behavior like setting fires and trashing property, would be demonstrating in the streets.

While I do not for a single second approve of or feel good about the slaughter of those writers and cartoonists, I don’t think this move toward sainthood is justified either.

racists, homophobes and all-purpose bigots.

A white and French (?) woman, one among very many European nationals who are not all racially related to the usual vermin.
There are jihad volunteers from almost every European country fighting for aq. and isis.  As well, there are many native born muslims fighting as terrorists also.
A very few have joined up to fight the jihadists, but not in enough numbers to matter a lot and certainly not enough to make a major news story.

So then, authorities know and the media has reported on these folks. More than once. It isn’t news anymore.

But …

UKIP leader Nigel Farage has come under attack for an interview last week, in which he spoke poorly of Britain’s experiment with politically correct multi culture AND,
he described the sort of vermin (my word not his) as a 5th column.
Which of course I have banged on about for years.  Not that it took any brains to work it out.  Just eyes and ears.  It was like, E + E = 5th column.
Not only did libtards jump on his case, but so too did a few conservative (lite) people including that weak fish prime minister “Call me Dave” Cameron.

The msm , which is usually a step or two behind most of the public , really dumped on him with headlines like:


Farage’s exploitation of the Charlie Hebdo murders is a new low

The Ukip leader’s attack on multiculturalism is a demonstration of his malign intent.

Referring to UKIP members as follows;

With its assortment of racists, homophobes and all-purpose bigots, Ukip may have raised the shock threshold in British politics, but Nigel Farage’s response to the Charlie Hebdo murders is still breathtaking in its cynicism.

left wing bs source

Lets see what Farage said. You decide. Did he say the right thing at the wrong time?  keep in mind as you read this, he was being interviewed and responded to questions. 

Should he have waited?  Answered in a different way so as to insure nobody would take offense or misunderstand?

I think bmews readers know the answer. 

“What should have been done is we should have had a controlled immigration policy and made sure we did full checks on everybody who ever came to this country from anywhere – and that applies to everyone else. We in Britain, and I’ve seen some evidence of this in other countries too, have a really rather gross policy of multiculturalism. By that, what I mean is that we’ve encouraged people from other cultures to remain within those cultures and not integrate fully within our communities …
I don’t think anyone can pretend there is a quick fix to this. We have, I’m afraid, and mercifully it’s small, but we do have a fifth column within our countries.”

he’s almost there

Retired Lt Col Outlines Actually Fighting Islam Next Time:
“US must leave smoking ruins and crying women”

Gosh, he’s almost right.

Retired Lt. Col. and Fox News Strategic Analyst Ralph Peters said that the US must avoid nation building and overlitigating the war on terror and instead “leave behind smoking ruins and crying widows” on Friday’s “O’Reilly Factor” on the Fox News Channel.

Peters said the plan for fighting war is “one, you accept that you are in a war. Two, you name the enemy: Islamist terrorists. Three, you get the lawyers off the battlefield and out of the targeting cell. You accept there will be collateral damage, and do you not apologize for it, you do not nation build. You don’t hold — try to hold ground. You go wherever in the world the terrorists are and you kill them. You do your best to exterminate them, and then you leave, and you leave behind smoking ruins and crying widows. If in five or ten years they reconstitute and you have got to go back, you go back and you do the same thing and you never never never send American troops into a war you don’t mean to win.” And “be as merciless as the enemy, if you’re not willing to do that, they will win.”

When asked about how to deal with state sponsors of terrorism, he argued “we have 2,000 years of recorded history of religious insurgencies, the only thing that has worked in 2,000 years is killing them. Now, as far as countries that don’t want to play ball, very simple. Pakistan doesn’t want to crack down on the Haqqani Network, we tell them ‘we are going to go in and take them out, and if you get in our way, we are going to smack your military down’…in a war you fight to win, you don’t worry about political correctness. The jihadis will do anything to win, and we’re worried about our table manners.”

Also you take their assets, and if you can’t take them, render them useless. Oil field? Capture it. Pump it dry if possible. Take the oil. Fresh water? Capture it. Pump it dry if possible, then blow up the damn. Any kind of factory? Wait, they don’t have any, never mind. Date processing center? Capture it, steal the dates, burn it down.

Also, don’t forget reprisals. 1,000 to 1 for every terrorist found alive and free in your village. The first couple times we’ll be nice, and merely kill 1,000 cattle and goats. If you have that many. Then we start with the breeding age women. There are no civilians here anyway, so WTF.

Happy Happy Jihadi Death!

This video is the uncensored version of the French security forces storming the Jihadis in the Kosher store. 

I was impressed by how carefully they made sure he was completely dead.

Roling Along

Another night at Fun League, another 7 point smash for us.

Not bad for a team with a permanent vacancy.

I did Ok. Best game was a 224 in Game 2, pretty much a game of spares with a 4 bagger thrown in. Always best to close all the frames! And it coulda/woulda/shoulda been in the 240s, because I threw 8-0 in the 10th. Still having problems with the right corner. Game 1 was a 201, Game 3 came in in the 180s so I was just a hair under 600 again. I’m happy with that, given that I’m still carrying a 175 average. Teammate John threw a 266 in Game 1, which was 8 X in a row to open. Those are always great.

We took the first game by 25 and the second game by 12, so our margin was only 37 for the third game. For most of the game we watched them eat up our handicap and simply outbowl us. We figured if we could rally we could hold onto wood for 5, 2+2+1. Well, we rallied, they stumbled, and by the time I had finished my 10th their anchor could tie us if he threw a perfect 40 and our anchor threw only 4 or less. Our anchor struck twice, theirs opened, so we put Game 3 in the bag and said good night.

At the very least this moves us up one slot in the standings. Our opponents tonight were 1 place ahead of us, by a single point. We’ve reached that point in the season where the top teams have opened up a chasm 2 weeks wide over the lower teams. ( This is why I always push for 2 semester length “seasonettes” instead of 1 32 week endless season. ) We were the bottom team of the top chunk, with about 10 points separating the whole pack. We’ll move up a bit, sure, but we were the only two top teams playing each other last night, so the night was really just for widening the chasm.

More Terrorism In France

Hebdo Suspects Surrounded?

Second Attack Kills Two At Kosher Grocery Store, Hostages Taken



image

Last update today: Not without a cost. Several of the grocery store hostages killed (there were more than expected), at least one police officer wounded. Not clear whether hostage deaths were “friendly fire” or not.

It was initially hoped that all hostages in the shop had been saved - but it is now clear that a number died.

Others have been critically wounded, including a police officer.

Reports in the French media suggested that at least some of the hostages were killed before the raid.
...
female accomplice Hayat Boumeddiene whereabouts still unknown?

UPDATE: ALL 4 TERRORISTS SHOT DEAD. All hostages freed.

The 2 wanted for Charlie Hebdo went out in a blaze of gunfire. The 2 who attacked the grocery store died when French security forces rushed the building.

the latest suspects

Two intense standoffs with gunmen were underway in and around Paris early Friday afternoon—one involving the two brothers wanted in the Charlie Hebdo massacre and the other a hostage situation at a kosher grocery store near eastern Paris’ Porte de Vincennes.

It was not immediately known if the two situations were related, but both underscored France’s nightmare and anti-terrorism fight.

The hostage situation spurred police anti-terror units and the French internal security directorate, known as the DGSI, to race to the scene in eastern Paris, the city’s prosecutor’s office said. Hostages were taken after a shooting there or nearby.

CNN affiliate France 2 aired live video of police tactical teams getting into position at the scene of the standoff.

Meanwhile, law enforcement officers had also surrounded a building about 40 kilometers (25 miles) northeast in the town Dammartin-en-Goele.

Authorities have expressed a high degree of certainty that they have surrounded the Kouachi brothers—the suspects in Wednesday’s killing of 12 people at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo—in Dammartin-en-Goele, which is northeast of Paris and a few miles from Charles de Gaulle Airport.

The Kouachi brothers have released a statement saying they want to die as martyrs. Ordinarily I’d say fine, let them. But I think that’s too good an end. Capture them, and let France set the clocks of justice back to 1247 or so. Time to get some “mid-evil” vengeance.

Two people were reportedly dead in a second Islamist hostage situation in Paris, 25 miles south of a printing plant where police had the suspects Wednesday’s massacre at a Paris satirical magazine holed up, authorities said.

The hostage take[rs] in the second case, at a kosher grocery store in eastern Paris, were identified by police as Amedy Coulibaly and Hayat Boumeddiene, a couple suspected in the murder Thursday of Paris Police Officer Clarissa Jean-Philippe as she attended to a routine traffic accident in the city. Authorities believe the case is related to Wednesday’s attack, which 12 people, including two cops, dead at the publication Charlie Hebdo, which has angered Muslim radicals by publishing images of Prophet Muhammed.
...
Meanwhile, two people were reportedly dead in connection with a separate hostage situation in a kosher grocery on the east side of Paris, where a gunman armed with AK-47s was believed to be holding as many as five hostages, including women and children.
...
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said that 88,000 security forces have mobilized to find the brothers after the attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices on Wednesday.

On Thursday, U.S. government sources confirmed that Said Kouachi had traveled to Yemen in 2011 and had direct contact with an Al Qaeda training camp. The other brother, Cherif, had been convicted in France of terrorism charges in 2008 for trying to join up with fighters battling in Iraq. The sources also confirmed that both brothers were on a U.S. no-fly list.

Fox News was told the investigators have made it a priority to determine whether he had contact with Al Qaeda in Yemen’s leadership, including a bomb maker and a former Guantanamo Bay detainee.
...
Nine people, members of the brothers’ entourage, have been detained for questioning in several regions.
...
A third suspect, 18-year-old Mourad Hamyd, surrendered at a police station Wednesday evening after hearing his name linked to the attacks. His relationship to the Kouachi brothers was unclear.

Was Hamyd the driver? I don’t know. Details emerging over time, as usual.

Just Messing With Ya

Ever get the feeling that the pResident pulls crap out of a rabbit hole just to piss of Republicans? I swear he does.

Here’s another one, a totally unworkable piece of garbage. And when the Republicans object to it, it will be “Those racist Conservatives are against higher education for minorities and other low income kids.”

It’s a trap. A landmine. Episode 787,318 in Douchebag Politics. Points to Obama I suppose; he’s getting a big one in before the new GOP controlled legislature can do much more than arrange the deck chairs for a better view of the iceberg. Who cares if we’re talking $40 BILLION a year, or that this would cause community colleges to become dumbed down even further?

OBAMA: Free Community College For All !!

President Barack Obama will need the approval of Congress to realize his proposal for making two years of community college free for students.

So far, that plan doesn’t have an official price tag — other than “significant,” according to White House officials. If all 50 states participate, the proposal could benefit 9 million students each year and save students an average of $3,800 in tuition, the White House said.

But administration officials insisted on a call with reporters Thursday evening that “this is a proposal with bipartisan appeal.”

Case in point: Republican Gov. Bill Haslam, whose brainchild Tennessee Promise program strongly influenced Obama’s proposal. Beginning this year, any high school graduate in that state is eligible for two years of free community college tuition under the Tennessee Promise.

Oh, even better. He’s a genius. Take some Republican dumbshittery, like RomneyCare, and rewrite it at the national level. So when it goes bust, he AS USUAL has someone on the right to blame.

We are so doomed.

Islamic Flowers

Fortunately, you guys are accustomed to my sometimes bizarre sense of humor.

While reading a Daily Mail article about the latest Jihadi atrocity in Paris, I notice the tree branch reflection in the window of one of the police cars that got shot up.  I don’t know if the officer(s) lived or died, I hope they lived.

It was the pattern of bullet holes, appearing as flowers on the tree branch, that struck me with the incredible irony that they represented the Flowers of Islam, hence my title for this slight rework (rotate and crop only).  I hope you can see it well enough - the cropping and enlarging have made it a little grainy.  I hope you like it.

It’s Only Natural

Fish got to swim, and birds got to fly,

Ships got to float, whether listing or dry

Can’t keep the Hoegh Osaka stuck in the sand

Hoegh Osaka under tow, sideways



A cargo ship carrying high-quality cars has “freed itself” from the sandbank where it has been stranded since Saturday.

The Hoegh Osaka, which ran aground shortly after leaving Southampton on its way to Germany, began to move at high water.

Salvors had been pumping water out of the vessel, which is carrying 1,400 cars and construction equipment including Jaguars, Land Rovers and JCBs.

It will now be towed to a holding position in Southampton water and a full assessment will be carried out before she is moved any further.

It was thought the 590ft-long car carrier Hoegh Osaka had taken on too much water to sail free after being run aground in the Solent.

A £10million rescue was planned, with fears the ship and its cargo of 1,400 cars could be stuck for weeks.

The vessel was towed two miles east in the Solent and will be held by two tugs until Thursday for a full assessment by salvage company Svitzer.

The Marine and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said the vessel had “self-floated at high water”.

The ship was towed east of its grounding position to Alpha Anchorage, between East Cowes and Lee-on-the-Solent.

A temporary exclusion zone of 300m (984ft) was established around the vessel.

A full assessment of the ship’s condition is expected to be carried out on Thursday.

Pretty neat. All the cargo is still secure as well, except for a couple farm tractors and excavators.



If that header seemed a bit familiar, here’s why ...

... guess the Osaka is a bit of a Showboat as well now.

frozen in place, all fracked up

Crivens, it’s COLD. Brrrr.

Must get going anyway. Things to do. Places to be. Shopping. Food. Bank. Gas. Stuff.




Gasoline has gone down in price here again, and is now hovering just over $2/gallon locally. I LOVE IT. I was actually expecting it to break $2 by the end of 2014, but no big deal if I’m off a week or three.

On that note - cheap gas - here’s the next FACE OF FEAR: fracking causes earthquakes.  We. Are. All. Gonna. Die!!! 

That’s right, the technology that’s literally opened up an entire world of recoverable energy is going to destroy the planet. Odd how the last 50 years of fracking haven’t done a thing, or how the mid-American plate area has had some amazing earthquakes in the past - fer instance, the New Madrid quakes of 1811/12 where more than 14,000 tremors rocked the land for months - but hey, no matter, why should we let facts get in the way?

And now it’s literally the end of the world, with a massive bottomless pit opening up in YouCan’tGetHereSki Russia, caused by Satan’s Double Whammy Combination of fracking and global warming. Seriously, I can’t make this stuff up.

http://grist.org/news/fracking-is-definitely-causing-earthquakes-another-study-confirms/
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usc000tcfw#summary

As is the case elsewhere in the world, there is evidence that some central and eastern North America earthquakes have been triggered or caused by human activities that have altered the stress conditions in earth’s crust sufficiently to induce faulting. Activities that have induced felt earthquakes in some geologic environments have included impoundment of water behind dams, injection of fluid into the earth’s crust, extraction of fluid or gas, and removal of rock in mining or quarrying operations. In much of eastern and central North America, the number of earthquakes suspected of having been induced is much smaller than the number of natural earthquakes, but in some regions, such as the south-central states of the U.S., a significant majority of recent earthquakes are thought by many seismologists to have been human-induced.

So here we go again. Hey, what if we sacrificed eggs, salt, gluten, trans-fat, and the term “epic” to the earthquake goddess? Would that save us?

Je Suis Charlie

France Rallies

Tens of Thousands Take To The Streets In Protest All Over France

Great, but will the great-grandchildren of Le Poilu fight, or just pout and then surrender?



image



As darkness fell across Europe, tens of thousands took to the streets to show their solidarity with those killed by gunmen at the offices of satirical French weekly Charlie Hebdo.

Many of the protesters, meeting in Paris, Madrid and Berlin, have adopted the slogan ‘Je Suis Charlie’ - I am Charlie - holding up banners and placards printed with the words. Others were seen carrying enlarged versions of the some of the newspaper’s anti-Islamist cartoons.

In London, hundreds of people filled Trafalgar Square at a silent vigil for those killed when masked gunmen stormed the newspaper’s headquarters. Many held pens, pencils and notebooks in the air to show their support for the journalists, cartoonists and police officers who lost their lives.

The gatherings were held as French President Francoise Hollande declared tomorrow a day of national mourning tomorrow in respect for the victims of this morning’s attack.

At the Place de la Republique, in central Paris, less than half a mile from the Charlie Hebdo offices, protesters stood shoulder to shoulder, proudly holding ‘Je Suis Charlie’ signs above their heads. Similar peaceful protests were held in the French cities of Rennes, Nice and Lyon.

In central London, the mood was sombre as a large crowd gathered in front of The National Gallery, to express a mute horror at the events in the French capital. Dozens of French people were among them, along with those of other nationalities who came to show they would not bow to terrorism.

And in a show of support for the European neighbours, Germans gathered outside the French embassies in Berlin and Madrid tonight - signs illuminated by candlelight.

The crowds were gathered in support of 12 people - including four of France’s most revered cartoonists - who were executed by masked attackers, brandishing Kalashnikovs, who burst into the Charlie Hebdo headquarters, opening fire on staff after seeking out journalists by name.

Witnesses said the suspected Al Qaeda gunmen were heard to shout ‘the Prophet has been avenged’ and ‘Allahu akbar!’ – Arabic for ‘God is great’ – as they stalked the building. 

Tonight they will cry. And tomorrow?

French Police Have Identified The Three People Involved

French police have reportedly identified the people involved in the shooting at the headquarters of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday.

[ Breaking - Their names are Said Kouachi, Cherif Kouachi and Hamyd Mourad. See more here. Oh, and FUCK YOU Wolf Blitzer ]

The shooting left 12 people dead including several members of the magazine’s staff. Two gunmen and their driver remain at large.

According to Metro, by Wednesday evening local time French law enforcement was aware of the names and birthdates of the alleged perpetrators. Metro reported one of the suspects is 34 years old, another is 32 years old, and the third is 18 years old.

The two older men are reportedly brothers, French citizens, and residents of Paris. Metro reported the younger man is a student whose nationality is unknown and has no fixed address.

Le Point reported French police were focusing on two suspects whom the magazine described as “French-Algerian." According to Le Point the two men, who were 32 and 34-years old, returned to France from Syria last summer.

According to Le Point, in 2008, one of these men was tied to an Iraqi network in Paris that allegedly encouraged young men to join militants in Iraq. The magazine reported he was also arrested in 2005 as he attempted to travel to Damascus. In addition to the two men, Le Point said police were looking for a suspect who was born in 1996 and has no fixed address.

At least 20,000 people also gathered in the French cities of Lyon and Toulouse, police said, after 12 people were killed by heavily armed gunmen screaming “Allahu akbar” (God is greatest).

Demonstrators wore black stickers marked “Je suis Charlie” (I am Charlie),a slogan aimed at showing solidarity with the victims of the deadliest attack in France in decades.

Others waved banners with slogans such as “Press freedom has no price” and “Charb mort libre” (Charb died free), a reference to the newspaper’s slain editor-in-chief Stephane Charbonnier.

Charbonnier was one of four cartoonists killed in the attack that also left 11 people injured.

“It’s terrible that these people were murdered. In future, no-one will be able to speak his mind. We have to demonstrate in our thousands,” said Beatrice Cano, a demonstrator in her fifties, who was carrying the latest issue of Charlie Hebdo.

“These people are not religious, they are monsters”

A student named Marie, who is at the protest at Place de la Republique tonight told The Local why she decided she had to attend the spontaneous rally in support of the victims of the Charlie Hebdo shooting.

“We have to show people we are not afraid. We have to defend freedom of speech. We should be able to say what we want.

“We must not attack Muslims because of this. The people behind this attack are not religious. They are monsters.”

Well, sounds like I have my answer. It’s going to be a long, long road.

Alice Blanc, 19, a law and development student studying in London but originally from Paris, held up a quote often attributed to Voltaire, saying: ‘I do no agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to death your right to say it.’

She said: ‘I don’t think a country like France today should have a problem with freedom of speech.

‘No matter what a journalist or magazine has to say, even if it is not what the majority of people think, they still have the right to say it without feeling in danger, which is the case today.’

Esther Benjoar, 25, a Parisian who has lived in London for the last two years, said: ‘It is people like you and I who went to work today who got killed for their passion, their job.

‘It is the right that the French republic gave them to say what they want to say, and they got killed because of that. They didn’t do anything wrong and I think it is time for France to fight against terrorism.’

After more than half an hour of quiet vigil, a woman’s French voice pierced the silence. She shouted: ‘Freedom of the press! Freedom of speech!’

But there is always a ray of hope.

race hate warnings are issued for social media

Drew posted this below as you can see.


MASS MURDER OVER CARTOONS


This is the true face of Islam: violent, deranged, utterly intolerant

I have been quite busy all day, never turned on the radio or booted the pc to watch any news, and so when I finally got a breather and made some coffee, I booted and found Drew’s post and the news from France.

And .... by the purest coincidence, earlier today while reading a morning paper over breakfast, I found this.

Attorney General steps into social media racism row


Pressure is on Twitter and Facebook to remove Islamophobic and racist comments

The Attorney General has increase the pressure on Twitter and Facebook to remove Islamophobic and racist comments from their websites.

Jeremy Wright said he wanted to meet social media companies to urge them to take down bigoted messages – and warn they could be prosecuted if they refused.

His intervention came after The Independent disclosed last week that social media companies were refusing to take down hundreds of inflammatory postings from their sites.

The number of postings, some of which accuse Muslims of being rapists, paedophiles and comparable to cancer, has increased significantly in recent months.

Mr Wright signalled his dismay over the proliferation of racist messages and said he was “very happy” to meet the companies to discuss steps to tackle them.

Keith Vaz, the chairman of the Commons home affairs select committee, asked him: “Do you share my concern about the increase in Islamophobia and racism on sites such as Facebook and Twitter, and the inability of site owners to take the postings down? Will you have a meeting with the companies concerned to urge them to take down these postings, rather than face prosecution?”

Mr Wright responded: “Yes, I do share that concern, and I’m very happy to meet with social media providers and others to discuss what more we can do.

“As you have said – and as I’m sure the House in general agrees – it’s important that everyone understands that social media is not a space where one can act with impunity and that the social media providers, and all those who use social media, need to understand clearly that criminal law applies here.”

source

And of course anyone speaking what they feel and believe to be true along with the many who agree, are all racists and bigots blah, blah.

Yeah well, guess what made many of us that way?  Schmuck.

Be very interesting to see what happens next in his crusade to protect the delicate feelings of muslim m*****f******.
The slime that’s eating away at the world. An international cancer, a disease like the plague and aided by creatures called liberals who think singing we are the world is the only answer.

There is a solution and it’s called Genocide.

[ a rude intrusion by Drew ]

UPDATE: Duh, muslims ARE rapists, paedophiles, and cancer.

Sorry to step on your post, but I didn’t want this hidden in the comments.

• Ask anyone in Scandinavia about rapes done by pisslamic males. Wasn’t it peaceful Norway, where every single rape is done by a muzzie? RAPISTS.

• And isn’t it Rotherham, UK where last summer’s news that 1400 young girls had been “groomed” then seduced and often pulled into prostitution, almost exclusively by pisslamic males? And how, now that the social blinders are off, it’s coming to light that this is AN EPIDEMIC all over UK, with upwards of HALF A MILLION VICTIMS over nearly two decades? All done by Muslimes. Thousands of them.  PAEDOPHILES.

• And has not the “second intifada” or “other diaspora” or whatever label is hung on the EXPLOSIVE EMIGRATION from all corners of Sandland to the rest of the world over the last 30 years, along with its enclaving and lack of assimilation, led to all sorts of problems all over the world, especially in Europe, and has been traced, tracked, analyzed, and accurately predicted for so long that honest sociologists can simply look at the muslim related social issues in a country and tell you what percentage of the population kneels towards Mecca? And that WITHOUT EXCEPTION, EVER, these problems, which are all exclusively jizzlamic in nature (such as “Sharia Only” zones in non-Sharia nations. Hell, that YOU even know what “sharia” “halal” and “haram” mean is evidence enough!)?? How is that not exactly like CANCER?

Wake Up Call For France

MASS MURDER OVER CARTOONS

This is the true face of Islam: violent, deranged, utterly intolerant



12 DEAD IN PARIS MASSACRE: Islamic gunmen execute French police officer as he pleads for his life after terror attack on satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo at centre of Mohammed cartoon storm

• Masked gunmen storm Paris headquarters with AK-47s shouting ‘Allahu akbar!’ and ‘the Prophet has been avenged’
• Stalked building asking for people’s names before killing the editor and cartoonist during weekly editorial meeting
• Horrific footage shows a police officer begging for his life before being shot in the head at point-blank range
• Killers fled in stolen car across eastern Paris after a ‘mass shoot-out’ with police officers and remain on the loose
• Newspaper had recently posted a picture of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on its Twitter account
• Publication’s offices were previously firebombed in 2011 for publishing satirical cartoon of Prophet Mohammed

Twelve people were killed today when gunmen carried out a massacre at the offices of a notoriously anti-Islamist newspaper in Paris - including a police officer who was executed as he begged for mercy on the pavement.

Three masked attackers brandishing Kalashnikovs burst into the Charlie Hebdo headquarters, opening fire on staff after seeking out journalists by name.

Those executed included four of the most famous cartoonists in France – men who had regularly satirised Islam and the Prophet Mohammed – including the newspaper’s editor-in-chief, Stephane Charbonnier.

Witnesses said the suspect Al Qaeda killers were heard to shout ‘the Prophet has been avenged’ and ‘Allahu akbar!’ as they stalked the building.

Horrific footage also emerged showing an injured police officer slumped on the pavement outside the office as two of the gunmen approach.

In an apparent desperate plea for his life, the officer is seen slowly raising his hand towards one of the attackers, who responds by callously shooting him in the head at point-blank range.

Despite a shoot-out with armed officers, the ‘calm and highly disciplined’ men who reportedly spoke perfect French were able to escape in a hijacked car and remain on the loose.

By midday, there were reports of up to 12 people dead and 10 wounded, four critically, including journalists, administrative staff, and police officers who attended the scene.

President Francois Hollande described the bloodbath as a ‘barbaric attack against France and against journalists’ and vowed to hunt down those responsible.

As well as the AK47 assault rifles, there were also reports of a rocket-propelled grenade being used in the attack, which took place during the publication’s weekly editorial meeting, meaning all the journalists would have been present.

They are said to have sought out staff ‘by name’, according to a police source, adding that Charbonnier, known as Charb, a cartoonist responsible for an anti-Islam front page, was among those killed.

Mr Charbonnier was included in a 2013 Wanted Dead or Alive for Crimes Against Islam article published by Inspire, the terrorist propaganda magazine published by Al Qaeda.

Cartoonists Cabu, Tignous and Wolinski were all also reported dead. 

You know, I was going to add a couple of the cartoons. And I was going to link in a secondary article, which wondered if those cartoons had triggered the attack. Then I said Eff That. Cartoons “triggering” mass slaughter? BULL. SHIT. A newspaper staff executed because they have different opinions? BULL. SHIT.

Let’s face the truth. Let’s face the real truth. Even a tiny percentage of muslims worldwide add up to a damn big army. Millions. And they are all batshit fucking insane. Period. Rabid dogs. And there is only one cure. And of all the hundreds of millions of others, the so-called and almost invisible “peaceful moderates”, in 13 years exactly ONE has spoken up for reform. ONE. President al-Sisi of Egypt, last week. ONE. This is not a case of one bad apple spoiling the whole bunch. This is not a case of a tiny tarbrush painting the whole barn black. This is a case of the vast majority living in silent approval of the acts of tens of thousands of lunatics. Not one or two isolated madmen. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF THEM. And of a “faith” that breeds lunatics at a prodigious rate. This is a cancer on humanity, across the entire world.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
