I’ll Have a Little Whine With my Dance Please…….

I’ll Have a Little Whine With my Dance Please…….

By KGS17 years agoLeave a comment

I first saw this news blurb in the wee hours of the morning over at Drudge, but didn’t have the time ..at the time, to do anything with it. I must admit that the first thought that came to mind was a story from a few years back, in which an Israeli officer at a check point asked a Palestinian musician to play a tune on his violin to ensure that he was indeed a musician and that there were no explosives in it.

Well the Israeli officer denied that he asked him to play, but the man in question, as well as activists in the area backed his claim up that he was forced to play something. I believe the border guard, but I also believe that it was well within his rights to ask him to play, since Palestinians have used musical instruments before to hide explosives that ended up murdering Israelis.

Some times being more attentive to political correctness will get people killed, I’ll choose saving lives over someones feelings being hurt, any day of the week. Debbie Schlussel has the right thinking in a post on the same story. Like Debbie, the Tundra Tabloids believes that some security issues automatically over rides personal sensibilities.

So Abdur-Rahim Jackson, an Alvin Ailey dancer and with a Muslim name and a Muslim-convert father was asked to dance for the Israeli port authorities, big deal. As Debbie Schlussel states:

“Hmmm . . . a Muslim trying to sneak into Israel as part of a Black American dance troupe. A terrorist would never do that, right? Actually, it’s the perfect cover. And if Israelis didn’t look into it, I’d say they were idiots. Checking into things like this is why Israel is still around–at least, for now–as a country.”

That’s right Debbie, Palestinian terrorists have used every trick in the terrorist play book to get wanted terrorists, suicide/homicide bombers, and a host of other deadly things past Israeli security check points. A terrorist posing as a dancer would be just one more way of getting a murderer into the country. So, hurt feeling or not, it’s the way things are, thanks to Muslim homicidal maniacs.

UPDATE: D.Schlussel mentions the TT. Thanks Debbie!

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.

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.

Hijab or Niqab – Clothing Jihad.

Activity of MSA – Academic Jihad.

Activity of CAIR – Political Jihad / Public Jihad.

Collecting money for Islamic “charities” – Financial Jihad.

Political correctness – Submission to Jihad.

J Street, Peace Now, JVP and their likes – Jewish Useful Idiots who Serve Jihad.
