New York Times: Europe Needs to Embrace Islam

Iraq-Jihadist-flag_2947305b

Let me spare you the effort of reading this. Islamic terrorism is caused by a failure to integrate. Europe must become Islamic to end Islamic terrorism.

That plan has worked in countries like Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Pakistan… all of which are Islamic and none of which have any terrorism.

European policies have prioritized socioeconomic measures. In other words, political efforts are needed to put an end to the ‘ghettoization’ of Islam, which is often depicted as alien and incompatible with Western core liberal values. It means that geopolitical issues like the “war on terror” should be disconnected as much as possible from Islam and its adherents and their practices.

Is any European government going out and connecting terrorism to Islam?

When Lee Rigby was beheaded in the UK, Cameron and Boris Johnson rushed out to announce that it had nothing to do with Islam. That’s the standard procedure.

Deny everything. No one mention the Jihad.

Jocelyne Cesari is victim blaming Europe using an imaginary strawman. The handful of belated measures in a few isolated parts of Europe, such as banning the Hijab, are blamed for Islamic terrorism.

And yet Islamic terrorism in Europe long predates these things.

Cesari blathers that Islam needs to be included in the European national narrative, but Islam, as we see in Syria and Iraq, rejects even the national narratives of Muslim countries, let alone European ones.

But if Jocelyne Cesari thinks that embracing Islam is the solution, let her lead the way. Convert to Islam, don the Hijab and stop writing articles like these which mention Islam and terrorism three paragraphs apart.

And let the New York Times lead the way by moving the HQ over to Mosul and announcing mandatory fasting for Ramadan.

The New York Times and Jocelyne Cesari act as if Islam is not responsible for anything and does not originate anything. It’s only acted upon, not an actor. It’s incumbent on us to constantly appease it and if it lashes out, then it’s our fault for not appeasing it enough.

    Weird how the supply of these leftist twits seems endless. The left realizes people naturally lean to freedom. so they hired Islam to balance out the RIGHT.

    daniel, if there is comment section available please participate. you can say it better than i can. if the NYtimes allows links, then show them this artical.

    Jocelyne Cesari- Dhimmi extraordinary.

    I’m not aware of Buddhists or Hindus in Europe organizing rape gangs, hacking down a British soldier in the street and indulging in terrorism, no-go Sharia zones – because they weren’t included in the political process.

    Jocelyne Cesari and her ilk believe Europe hasn’t bent down enough to appease Muslims… Europe should lie prostrate before Islam.

    • ed_in_tx

      Another couple of decades or so and Europe will be prostrate before Islam.

  • billobillo54

    Moderate Islam has hijacked the real Islam which is radical, violent, intolerant, authoritarian and supremacist Islam. Liberals are dhimmis who will, if not stopped, bring Islam on us.

    • Janet Ann

      … and on them. The Left doesn’t get it. When ISIS marches across America in the furthering of the Caliphate … ALL must convert of die … including the PC dhimmis Liberals.

    • Nadzieja Batki

      There was never a real Islam or a moderate Islam, it is all the same Islam.

  • Ross A Lloyd

    Give her a one-way ticket to the Islamic hell-hole of her choice!

    • Nadzieja Batki

      She is a useful idiot where she is for Islam.

  • Janet Ann

    The “embracing of Islam” is happening in America. The article is a must read in its entirety.

    Troops told to refrain from eating, drinking in front of Muslims
    By Todd Starnes
    Published July 29, 2014

    Do not eat or drink in front of Muslims, and learn more about their religion.

    That’s the directive that has gone out to active duty military personnel at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, a Department of Defense medical and graduate school in Bethesda, Md. ….

      Looking at that, I’m beginning to think the US is further down the path to total dhimmitude that the worst cases in Europe, namely Sweden, Norway and the UK.

        Remember, that directive is the product of the Obama gang, not the American public. Obama and Jarrett are Islamophiles at best, if not worse.

  • lies die

    Our gravestone will read: Here lies America. Died, from fear of being called a racists. Well, that won’t be my tombstone. Time to be vigilant against the terrorists who are already, as one ISIS members said, “Here on your streets.”

  • truebearing

    Where do they find these fools? That paper is a joke. The NY Times should collectively embrace an IED. Do the country a favor.

  • M2000

    So the New York Times wants Europe to embrace “moderate” Islam which will bring upon the Islamic supremacists? Yea this will go so “nicely”….

    • nobullhere

      Its just as well Pelayo, Martel and Sobieski didn’t embrace ‘moderate’ Islam.

  • NonPCconservative

    What this tells us is that terrorism has worked. Our elected “leaders”, our military and our press are afraid to tell the truth about Islam for fear of the horrific consequences.

  • nobullhere

    Oops, it looks like the US has edged ahead of Sweden in the race to join the caliphate.

    • Atikva

      Don’t forget that the game isn’t over until the fat lady has sung.

      • nobullhere

        Whats that wailing in the background, then?

        • Atikva

          What wailing?

  • David

    Say what you will about the Soviet Union, but at least they maintained some form of order. You didn’t see followers of Tito and Caecesca constantly blowing each other up. Islam doesn’t even have that going for it.

    • Atikva

      The commies used more subtle means to destroy each other, but they didn’t spare their “brothers” either. It seems Mr. Putin himself remained true to the USSR tradition in this area.

  • joe kulak

    Obviously not sacrificing enough virgins to the volcano god. Why else would the eruptions continue?

  • joe kulak

    The eruptions only continue. Obviously not feeding enough virgins to the volcano god. And don’t speak ill of the volcano god; you will make him angry.

    Embrace Islam? Good idea?

    Embrace the burka and a little female genital mutilation. Then tell me more.

  • Wolfthatknowsall

    Islamic countries don’t have terrorism?

    As I understand it, the various sects/tribes within each Islamic country commit acts of terror against each other, constantly. Besides which, an Islamic government itself is a terror entity against its own people. That’s how they maintain control.

    There’s another way to effectively end Islamic terrorism in Western nations. Send the Muslims to Muslim countries. End the multicultural experiment. Muslim emigration, rather than immigration.

      Theodore Roosevelt – Excerpt from Letter to The American Defense Society – January 3, 1919

      “We should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an American and assimilates himself to us he shall be treated on an exact equality with every one else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birth-place or origin. But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American. If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn’t doing his part as an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. . . We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people.”

      • Wolfthatknowsall

        Excellent quotation from one of America’s great Presidents.

        • Nadzieja Batki

          Don’t praise the Socialist.

          • Wolfthatknowsall

            Nadzieja, which socialist would you rather have in office, at this moment … Obama or Teddy Roosevelt?

          • Atikva

            And why not, if he told the truth and made sense, for a change?

  • Wolfthatknowsall

    Don’t lose the faith. Our eyes are wide open …

    When does stupidity run it’s course? How bloody stupid is Jocelyne Cesari, but what am I saying she works for New York Times.

    Churchill summed up the sort of people who wrote that New York Times article, and the corrosive effect they have on the West in this speech below. You could substitute England for the US, France, Sweden etc and it would still ring true:

    “Historians have noticed, all down the centuries, one peculiarity of the English people, which has cost them dear. We have always thrown away after a victory the greater part of the advantages we had gained in the struggle. The worst difficulties from which we suffer do not come from without. They come from within. They do not come from the cottages of the wage earners; they come from a peculiar type of brainy people, always found in our country, who, if they add something to its culture, take much from its strength. Our difficulties come from the mood of unwarrantable self-abasement, into which we have been cast, by a powerful section of our own intellectuals. They come from the acceptance of defeatist doctrines by a large proportion of our politicians. But what have they to offer, but a vague internationalism, a squalid materialism, and the promise of impossible utopias? Nothing can save England if she will not save herself. If we lose faith in ourselves, in our capacity to guide and govern, if we lose our will to live, then indeed our story is told.” – Winston Churchill, 1933

    This is the purpose of Islam..Islam’s purpose is an Islamic State, and calls for the destruction of States that oppose them..they will kill anyone, including Children, women who don’t submit to them. Now think twice New York Times, evil needs to be defeated, by killing the snakes head.

  • greatpyr

    Western civilization is in a battle for its very
    existence against “radical” Islam; Obama is one of them – he said so:
    In “Audacity of Hope” he writes: “I will stand with the Muslims should the
    political winds shift in an ugly direction.” How much plainer can he make it? NYT is a supporter of 0bama and an enemy the morality of Western civilization. Unfortunately they have a lot of followers.

    NYT, like UK and EU leaders and followers, are so morally
    constipated with anti-Semitic/pro Muslim political correctness they can’t see
    one meter in front of themselves. Unfortunately, we aren’t left with too many people to stand up to the Islamic hordes. http://www.why-israel.com
