Essays in Idleness

One of the Signs of the Times is people who are telling the truth, but with the intention of lying. For examples I will identify the prime ministers, chancellors, French presidents, &c, who consistently bleat their disapproval of “Islamophobia.” The Canadian prime minister likes to sermonize about how Islam and Christianity are very much alike, and more or less interchangeable. But the pope seems to prefer Muslims, when, as frequently, he is visiting abroad. A cheerful man, he is endlessly good-willing.

So why don’t you all — Christianists and Islamists — just get along, an observer might be thinking. Why all this violent threat and prattle? It is because they are killing each other, an unusually candid politician might explain.

To be more precise, in virtually every one of the last fifty thousand incidents of multi-victim terrorism, they were not “killing each other,” but Islamists were specifically killing Christians and Jews, across Africa, Eurasia, and the Americas. To be fair, it wasn’t quite all, however. They were also slaughtering Hindus and Buddhists. That is how the term “Islamophobia” came to be invented, for an irrational fear of Muslims.

But who could be perpetrating such a shocking crime? We all are — or every one of us who is not himself Islamic, we are given to suppose. But in truth all those prime ministers, chancellors, French Presidents, &c, are among the guilty. They are terrified of the large Islamic populations they have let in — both legally and illegally — and they make policies that show they are scared. For what if they don’t do what their Muslim voters want? There are daily incidents to remind these politicians, who is in charge.

These are worthless, garbage people (the politicians, not the terrorists). The way to solve any immigration crisis, is to “grow a pair.” The worst they can do is to continue killing us. Therefore, repeat after me: “Down with Islamophobia!”
