Keep in mind, these people are not Islamist terrorists …
When a rubber dinghy carrying around 100 African refugees across the Mediterranean began to sink, a Nigerian Christian prayed for his life in an innocent act that would end in the deaths of 12 fellow migrants.
One of the Muslims on board the rickety craft ordered him to stop, saying: ‘Here, we only pray to Allah.’
When he refused, a violent fight ensued and 12 Christians drowned when they were thrown overboard by the Muslim refugees.
Just seen on twitter:

this only underscores the urgency with which we must lift the sanctions on Iran
there is evidently urgency in this too: #SaveTheHouthis!
but this and a nickle gets no one tapas this evening
True, because terrorists are out to inspire terror in others. These subhumanoids are only out to cause death. Long past time to start returning the favor, donchathink?
“Wars are not won by being willing to die for your country. Wars are won by making the other poor, dumb bastard die for his country.” — G. Patton, Gen. US Army
That these were just Muslim refugees NOT terrorists kind of belies the whole “ISIS is not REAL Islam”
It is easier to be a religion of peace if you have no enemy left.
“Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two,t they were killed with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated— of whom the world was not worthy—wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.” — Hebrews 11: 35b-38
So much for those who claim Allah is the same god we Christians worship.
I tried to explain once on some conservative site that Allah seems to be a classic “Moon” god. Where as Yahweh and Jesus are classic “Sun” gods. They did not appreciate my academic view using common Anthropological terms and accused me of being a New Age kook.
Sorry, it is not like I said Jesus was a myth. I was just pointing out that they were not necessarily the same “God”. I think the Muslim Allah, is closer to Ba’al.
Tom Holland makes the case that the Muslims are an outgrowth of their late-ancient world: imperialism. They copy-catted what they saw, like they saw Alexander, the Romans, the Sassanids, the Byzantines and decided to do them all one better.
Protein Wisdom – home for dissident conservatives unwelcome at ‘some conservative sites’.
It is going to take a crusade of Western and Christian forces (much or even all of which could be comprised of volunteer soldiers ala the Rough Riders or the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and paid for by private donations) to go over to the Middle East and kill enough Muslims and destroy enough infrastructure, to give us peace for a generation.
Last year, some 219,000 refugees and other migrants crossed the Mediterranean, and at least 3,500 lives were lost, the UN refugee agency UNHCR reports. In 2013 the total reaching Europe via the Mediterranean was much lower – about 60,000.
So far this year, at least 31,500 people are known to have made crossings to Italy and Greece, the main migrant entry points in Europe. The main pressure point is the Central Mediterranean route.
-I fear, Gahrie, you are probably correct. It’s too bad we don’t have a Pope who would be willing to stand against the popular Narratives of the moment and call for a Crusade against the Mohammedins. Though I am a Fallen Catholic and somewhat lame, I would aid such an effort in any way I could.
Sadly, it seems that this Pope is a Man Of The Left – perhaps ‘The Last Pope’.
-Does anyone else see this refugee situation in the Med as a ‘Camp Of The Saints’ scenario being played-out for slightly different reasons?

This is not new. It is very old. Older by far than this soliloquy.
Bravo, Geoff, for that quote from Apocalypse Now – how fitting.
Management of Savagery advocates destroying people’s lives so they are left with no choice but to build a new world —
the CaliphateUtopia! — because the old world is gone. The Management of Savagery is going to ride the wave of chaos to reestablish the return of trueIslamProgressives to power.Funny how little modification it takes to write one flavor of Marx into another.

They’re positively Byzantine in the refinement of their cruelty.

Can you recommend a bit of writing here, sdferr?
The odd man out here would be in post scriptural time. The Khans went and killed them in outrageous numbers. That might have something to do with this as well.
This I think, it is what he sent to me.
Thanks, buddy.
Just read the linked piece and think there probably is another bit of writing he’s referencing. But, maybe I’m missing a bit of inherent, ancient imperialism in the references to Salafism out of ignorance.
I would point to his BBC documentary which put the thesis of his book In the Shadow of the Sword (which I haven’t read) into video form, though I understand that as his view through his various other writings and whatnot.
Another title along the same lines is Garth Fowden’s Empire to Commonwealth: Consequences of monotheism in late antiquity
