Twas The Night Before Christmas Eve And The Helsingin Sanomat Pimps For Islam…….

Tucked away in the City section of today’s edition of the HS, the Finnish capital’s main news daily publishes a flattering piece that promotes a wonderful image of Islam. The paper of course has the right to report on whatever subject material they deem “important”, but the significance for the timing of the article in question can’t be overlooked.

The article focuses around the Finnish wife of Sami Bakiri, Mari, who converts to Islam in the Lönnrot street mosque in Helsinki. In the article: “In the Mosque all are One Great Family”, Sami tells of the wonders of sharia guiding every aspect of one’s life, “Islam is in practice a guidance for living”. The reader is then given a lesson in how Finnish society makes it harder for Muslims to fulfil their Islamic requirements, when both the interviewer, Jukka Huusko and Sami Bakiri notice the faithful still filing into the mosque long after the service has started.

“Olisi hyvä tulla ajoissa, mutta suomalaista yhteiskuntaa ei ole rakennettu islamin ympärille / It would be good to be on time, but Finnish society isn’t built around Islam”

Yes, Finnish society it isn’t built around Islam, but more than likely Bakiri and company hold very high hopes that one day, the situation will be reversed. And to underline that last point, the reader is then treated to the part where Bakiri leads his Finnish friends to the back of the mosque to see his wife recite the five pillars of Islam and the “shahada”, the portion that makes her into a Muslim. The reciting of the shahada is printed, (just in case anyone really wanted first hand knowledge of it) then Mari states:

“Hyvältähän se tuntuu”, Mari sanoo varovaisella äänellä. “Kaikki tuossa tulivat jo onnittelemaan. Jospa tästä saisi uudenlaista suuntaa elämään.” / “It really feels good”, says Mari in a careful voice. “Everyone there has already came to congratulate. From this could be a new direction for living”.

Once again, the timing for the publication of this article is way out of line, being so close to Christmas, it can’t be taken as anything other than a smack at Christians, and their religious holidays. The Helsinki Sanomat, a paper that consistantly berates Israel and Christians, as well as being the only newspaper I know of whose entire front page is nothing but advertisements.

Nothing like spreading the season cheer, eh? *L* KGS

Kaupunki section (City) in Helsingin Sanomat is the worst of the worst. It mainly contains green-left propaganda and very little that could be considered news reporting.

The other equally bad part of HS is Ulkomaat (Foreign affairs) that is a bastion of anti-americanism and anti-Israel propaganda.

That is why I have long since cancelled my subscription and therefore stopped suppoting that bastion of leftist political activism.

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
