Totalitarianism

Totalitarianism, its encroachment and opposition to it.

"Will Nupur Sharma ever lead a normal life? Should moderate Muslims speak up?" - A commentary - Part 3

Hindu talk of boycotting Muslim businesses is partly out of helpless despair, and partly out of an urgency to do something when they have no idea what to do. There is nothing either helpless or desperate about jihad murder. It is calculated, meticulously planned, and painstakingly executed.

"Will Nupur Sharma ever lead a normal life? Should moderate Muslims speak up?" - A commentary - Part 2

That the "innocent" Muslim barber might go out of business is just tough, but Hindus did not create Muslims and certainly did not teach them jihad. Besides, it is not unlawful to save yourself from a Muslim unless, of course, you are a dhimmi.

Christopher Hitchens’s “Axis of Evil” speech, Part 1.

All the years that were spent in trying to contain, coerce, or civilise this man, had been wasted. They had all been exploited by him to advance his program. It seemed that his appetite for power only grew with the eating.

Eid al-Adha, sacrifice no more

While the relationship between Islam and the kufaar expands Islam, the relationship between the scholars and lay Muslims sustains it. The rejection of the relationship between the scholars and lay Muslims is huge, for it is existential.

Dissidents/Ex-Muslims Featured

The ex-Muslim activist trap

Ultimately, ex-Muslim hatred of non-Muslim scholars of Islam comes down to a combination of envy and fear of being eclipsed. After all, such scholars, mostly academics, are highly educated and highly read, while most ex-Muslims are stunted from their experience under Islam.

Atheism/religion

The panic of the sheikhs

Atheism spooks the sheikhs. People cannot turn to them for answers, and must seek and find their own answers. Lying flat dissolves the CCP’s power over the Chinese people in exactly the same way as a Muslim woman marrying an atheist does.

“The matter is summed up for every person alive: either submit, or live under the suzerainty of Islam, or die… Such, then, is the basis of the relationship between the infidel and the Muslim. Battle, animosity and hatred—directed from the Muslim to the infidel—is the foundation of our religion.” AQR

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day-by-day and minute-by-minute. History has stopped.”

Newspeak, propagandistic language characterised by euphemism, circumlocution, and the inversion of customary meanings. Coined by George Orwell in his novel Nineteen Eighty-four. Newspeak, “designed to diminish the range of thought,” the language of Big Brother’s enforcers. —Britannica (excerpt).

Totalitarianism: we have become comfortably numb - Part 8

Arbitrary control is the conditio sine qua non of totalitarianism. All you need to do is point your finger, utter “Islamophobia”, and it is done. When we agreed to create “hate speech,” we conceded that our thoughts and emotions must be policed. This has always been the business of totalitarianism.

Whether class struggle that must inevitably lead to the dictatorship of the proletariat, or “No one comes to the Father except through me,” or “until all worship is for Allah alone," the idea is the same: we act in accord with our purpose, the only way to real human happiness.

You cannot get rid of them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change the basic perception and the logic of behaviour. In these people the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible.

Were they not in such a parlous state, they would see that Zemmour is their very last hope to stop the slide towards the stark alternatives of either civil war or barbarism

An easy way to assess how Orwell “speak[s] to us in our own time with great urgency and topicality,” is by looking at the way we regard Islam, and to discern whether the decay of thought and the negation of being that Orwell sees in the civilisational breakdown we call fascism, is present in us.

Islam will come to Germany, whether you like it or not. Your daughter will wear the hijab. Your son will have a beard. We multiply relentlessly. We have seven or eight. On top of that, we take four wives, then we have twenty-two children, against your one child and a small dog. That’s how it is.

Totalitarianism

Totalitarianism: we have become comfortably numb - Part 2

Shari’a is evil, Islam is evil, the Qur’an is evil, Muhammad is evil: husbands may imprison, rape and beat their wives; parents may kill their children; men may rape children; a dhimmi may not defend himself against a Muslim; a divorced woman must be pimped out before her marriage can be restored…

Free people slinked into the darkest crevasse, and there made themselves comfortable. George Orwell and Martin Luther King’s lives overlapped like father and son, and from the heart of darkness we know as Black Lives Matter, these two beacons shine from a Golden Age when truth was still spoken.

1948 and the Nazis of the Nile*

We were sitting over a book by Anjuli Pandavar, a South African born former Muslim, who writes about the struggle of man against Muslim in every Muslim and Muslim against man in every man brought up in Islamic culture.

A few days ago, I had the unedifying experience of an exchange with multiple denizens of the comments stratum of Thought Adventure Podcast [https://youtu.be/NaJuYozrxDI] that I viewed for the first time on YouTube. The attraction was a discussion to which the four hosts had invited Ridvan "Apostate

Evolution, children and murderers*

Many people have noticed the love tyrants have for a photo-op with small children; there are books that show ties between fanatical ideologies and brutal programs of child-indoctrination from the cradle, of raising children to become murderers.

Saudi Arabia: Oil, Shari'a and the pursuit of happiness

"Our constitution is the Qur'an… We are bound to implement the Qur'an in some form or another …inclusive of everybody. …But in social and personal affairs, we are only obliged to implement stipulations that are clearly stated in the Qur'an.” — Mohammed bin Salman

Totalitarianism

“If only you could see what I’ve seen with your eyes.”

Thus the famous line by Roy Batty in Ridley Scott’s 1982 film, Blade Runner. If we could but see what our enemies see when they look at us. Even when looking with our enemy’s eyes, we still see only what our eyes see, never what their eyes see. “Eyes wide shut,” is another fitting metaphor.
