Can’t we talk? No, we can’t
By James Simpson, Canada Free Press, September 10, 2017:
There is a new film out by Pamela Geller, Can’t We Talk About This? Those were the last words spoken by Theo Van Gogh as he was being murdered at 9 in the morning on a main thoroughfare in Amsterdam. I urge you to watch and support this film.
Story continues below advertisementCan’t We Talk About This? from “Can’t We Talk?” Homepage on Vimeo.
Van Gogh was a good friend of Pam’s. He had just completed a short film with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, titled Submission. It describes the treatment of women under Islam. Mohammed Bouyeri, a Moroccan-Dutch Muslim, took offense at the film and shot Van Gogh as he was riding to work on his bike. Bouyeri then stabbed Van Gogh, cutting his neck in an attempt to behead him. He used a second knife to pin a note on Van Gogh’s body.
The note was addressed to Ali and others, including Jews, Netherlands politicians, and a long list of the usual suspects. Fraught with misspellings, the five-page letter started:
Dear miss Hirshi Ali,
Since your appearence in the political arena of the Netherlands you are constantly engaging in terrorizing Muslims and Islam with your remarks. You are not the first at this and will also not be the last who has joined the crusade against Islam.
With your defection you have not only turned your back on the Truth, but you also march along the ranks of the soldiers of evil. You mince no words about your hostility against Islam, and for this your masters have rewarded you with a seat in parliament.
They have found in you a companion in their crusade against Islam and Muslims.
A companion who gives them the “gunpowder” so they don’t have to do the dirty work…
Did you catch that? Hirsi Ali is terrorizing Muslims by talking about her treatment at their hands.
Right.
I would like to believe Mr. Bouyeri is just a maladjusted lunatic, but unfortunately he represents a familiar mindset and temperament among Muslims. A September 7th Time magazine interview quotes Yahya Cholil Staquf, one of Indonesia’s most influential Islamic leaders. What he says is so important I have reproduced a few of the Q & As here. It is especially important given Time magazine’s reach and its liberal readership:
Q: Many Western politicians and intellectuals say that Islamist terrorism has nothing to do with Islam. What is your view?
A: Western politicians should stop pretending that extremism and terrorism have nothing to do with Islam. There is a clear relationship between fundamentalism, terrorism, and the basic assumptions of Islamic orthodoxy. So long as we lack consensus regarding this matter, we cannot gain victory over fundamentalist violence within Islam.
Q: What basic assumptions within traditional Islam are problematic?
A: The relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims, the relationship of Muslims with the state, and Muslims’ relationship to the prevailing legal system wherever they live … Within the classical tradition, the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims is assumed to be one of segregation and enmity.
Perhaps there were reasons for this during the Middle Ages, when the tenets of Islamic orthodoxy were established, but in today’s world such a doctrine is unreasonable. To the extent that Muslims adhere to this view of Islam, it renders them incapable of living harmoniously and peacefully within the multi-cultural, multi-religious societies of the 21st century. (Emphasis added)
I put that last sentence in italics because in my Red-Green Axis presentations, I stress the inability of many Muslim refugees to assimilate. In fact, their goal is not assimilation but conquest. The interview continues:

Agree. Its because of Heroes like Pamela , ROBERT Spencer and others Americans were made aware of the crimes and truth about islam/jihad and hence Trump won because voters knew what was at stake .
America was lucky Trump won. Any other politicians on either side would have sold out to lobbyists including saudi/qatar and their islamisation agenda going on for more than 26 years now.
watch Paul Ryan as he Bullshiits a nun when she asks him a question http://bit.ly/2fbYycd
That’s how most politicians are.

I just watched the film, and it is a great one! It’s not so much the facts presented here, most of which are – or should be – known of most Americans. It’s the indisputable demonstration of what cowardice, greed and passion for power can make of politicians and journalists without a moral compass. It also shows how vulnerable democracy can be when the means to indoctrinate a whole population fall into the hands of these scumbuckets.
We have been living for too long in a time when the phonies, not satisfied to be fakers, liars, cowards and traitors, have the gall to demand our respect – such is the disdain in which they hold the American people.
America is the only democracy left with Israel (and maybe Poland and Hungary) where the people will fight for their civilization, their way of life, their faith and the future of their children.

What JP, Taiwan, Armenia and South Korea? Aren’t they democracies? I doubt Armenians will ever submit to muslum rule willingly — not after what the f’ing Kurdish and Turkish muslums did to them in the early 20th century.

The only language these guys understand is OVERWHELMING FORCE!
Please do not tell them, “can we talk?” To them that is overwhelming farce!

As I have commented before, I and many others am becoming increasingly concerned that the Trump White House, meaning The President and his top-rung advisors, are somehow becoming less aware of the connection between Islam and terror. Indeed, they should realize that terror is intrinsic to the Islamic religion/ideology as a whole. I believe McMaster is central to this lapse in understanding. Sickeningly, It seems to reflect the view often expressed by Obama that Islam is a religion of peace.
If this now represents the White House view, I’m afraid it connects with the accepted precept that if you do not know who your enemy is, you have no chance of defeating him.

The answer to the title of this movie is “NO”! To “talk” or discuss any issue in a rational manner assumes that both sides can use facts, logic, history (if necessary), statistics (or other logical proof), and any other kind of evidence that supports either side of this discussion. Recent history has clearly demonstrated that none of these things apply to liberals or Muslims that the liberals support. They are not interested in “truth”! Facts, logic, or any evidence will not support the barbaric practices of Islam. Islam and Christianity must always be deadly enemies. There is no middle ground! “Can’t we talk?” Only if both sides are willing to talk! That’s not going to happen with Muslims!
