On Nov 13, 2015, Muslim terrorists attacked a concert at the Bataclan theater in Paris, opening fire on the crowd while shouting, “Allah Akbar.” The Muslim attackers took 20 hostages, killed 90 concertgoers and left hundreds wounded. A year later the theater reopened under new ownership with ‘Insallah’ or ‘If Allah Wills” by Sting to support the Muslim migrants invading Europe. One of the members of the American band that had been playing during the attack was banned from attending the commemoration because he had been accused of ‘Islamophobia’.
A few years later, there was a Bataclan concert featuring a Muslim rappers supporting Jihad. After Oct 7, the Bataclan was filled with shouts of ‘Free Palestine’ at yet another Islamic concert.
By then Muslim terrorists had racked up multiple concert massacres at the Open Festival suicide bombing in Germany in 2016, the Manchester Arena bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in 2017 which killed 22 people, some of them children, and wounded over 1,000, the Nova festival massacre which killed nearly 400 people and the Moscow concert hall attack in 2024 that killed 145 people and wounded over 500.
Last year, Muslim terrorists plotted an attack at a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna.
Add nightclubs to the toll, and you have the Dolphinarium discotheque bombing in Israel by Hamas in 2001, which killed 21 people, most of them teens, the Pulse nightclub massacre which killed 49 people in Orlando in 2016 and the Istanbul nightclub shootings in 2017 that killed 39 people.
With over 800 concertgoers killed in Muslim terrorist attacks since 9/11, you might think that concertgoers would have some sense of vulnerability and outrage, but just the opposite. Concerts of the ‘trendier’ kind have become venues for celebrating Islamic terrorism. Not only wasn’t Bataclan going from a terrorist target to a terrorist rallying ground an exception, but Glastonbury with its terror flags and cries of support for Islamic terrorists is commonplace.
And while that sort of behavior is associated with expensive venues for trendy acts these days, a decade ago, New York’s Metropolitan Opera put on a production of The Death of Klinghoffer, justifying the Muslim terrorist killing of an elderly Jewish man in a wheelchair. Despite outrage and muted protests from the Jewish community, the show went on. The terrorist production is now due to open at Florence’s Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Theatre next year.
No one sitting in their box seats in Florence or jumping up and down at $500 a pop concert venues in Europe ever considers that at any point the sounds of “Allah Akbar” and gunfire could pierce their world. The whole point of terrorist propaganda from Kneecap, Bob Vylan or The Death of Klinghoffer is to believe that the victims of terrorism have it coming. And that they can enjoy the spectacle from the comfort of the concert without terror ever touching them.
The music scene values what’s edgy and planting nails in the faces of children, as Muslim terrorists did in Manchester, people dangling from windows at the Bataclan or a bar full of bodies at Nova are certainly edgy. Enjoying the scenes of horror requires maintaining a sense of distance from the dead mediated by narratives that make them objects in a terrorist victory.
The purpose of terrorist propaganda is not just to demonize Israel, America, the UK or any other nation affected by Islamic terrorism, but to manufacture the illusion that the terrorists are members of the same ‘tribe’ as the half-naked white concertgoers bopping to their hate, that the ‘victories’ of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis are their triumphs, and that their support for the cause somehow insulates them so that the bullets and bombs will never fly their way.
Indoctrination is also insulation. Even seeing people just like them bleed and die from Manchester to Nova to Bataclan, bodies falling from balconies, women being raped in the dirt, the wounded lying in the open and hoping the terrorists don’t realize they are still alive, doesn’t get through to them as they watch colorful flags with Arabic curlicues which translate into death wave overhead. At least not until the moment it happens to them. And maybe not even then.
The concertgoers who cheer for the Muslim terrorists murdering concertgoers somewhere else, in Israel, or at another place, like the Manchester Arena, or another time at the Bataclan, are a microcosm of members of a suicidal hipster left who dismantle public safety in the name of social justice, and won’t believe until the last second that the monsters can come for them.
They walk the streets of New York City, San Francisco or London after unleashing criminals and terrorists while feeling invulnerable behind their virtue signaling shielding. Surely the murderers, terrorists and the rapists who were only victims of an unjust system won’t harm them too.
Surely destroying America, Canada, Israel, England and all of Europe and turning their cities over to mobs, monsters and killers will make the world a better place and the cafes will stay open, the concerts will go on and the only ones who will die will be the bad people. Not them.
“Violence is a construct,” Zohran Mamdani, New York City’s Democrat Muslim mayoral nominee, said. Personal liberty, the nation state, bodily integrity and nearly everything else are constructs too. Through the fog of academic theories detached from daily realities, everything becomes an unreal theory, but when the shooting starts and the bombs go off, constructs have a way of becoming blindingly painful realities and life boils down to fight or flight imperatives.
“We are here to kill you,” the Bataclan Muslim terrorists said to their victims. That was a truth that clears away all the talk of constructs, the academic lenses and the distancing of pop culture propaganda that makes concertgoers cheer for those who kill other concertgoers elsewhere.
The undergrown men and women cheering for Islamic terrorism at Glastonbury and at other concert venues might be the ones running for cover and slipping in their own blood on the next leg of the festival tour once they realize that Muslim terrorists really are here to kill them too.
Suggesting what deserves to happen to a theater full of people who have paid to see The Death of Klinghoffer in as many words would get me a visit from the authorities, but I’m sure people could work it out.
One of the most needed posts-
The authorities are eager to promote “assisted dying” these days, so I think you could combine this with the Klinghoffer audiences without provoking a “visit”.
Audience members could be invited to take a terminal cruise, Once out on the ocean, they would each climb into a wheelchair mounted on rails, while singers and an orchestra play numbers from the opera. One by one, they would press the forward button and slide along the rails, over the ship’s edge, and into the churning waves.
An enterprising soul prepared to hand out fliers to this effect could get a good idea of how many operagoers would actually volunteer to share the fate of Klinghoffer.
The 40th anniversary of Leon Klinghoffer’s (RIP) murder is October 8 this year. I wonder if any opera houses can be shamed out of hosting the opera this coming season?
I heard some of those Bataclan concert goers committed suicide because of the horrors they saw that day.
The leftists expect the conservatives to keep protecting them.
And there is the real insult.
That we continue stupidly to protect them? Or that they actually think we should protect them?
Islam is the demonic ideology of genocides and wars.
People who realize this simple fact and fight back will survive. Others won’t
The West has been insulated from such horrors for so long, as the article says, they don’t believe it will happen to them, or perhaps don’t care in some nihilistic space in their minds–so what, murder? Do they love anything? Ask the Armenians who experienced Genocide or other Christians who are being killed by Muslims probably in this very moment. And of course the threat to the Jewish nation.
Their own government that they vote for also wants them dead.
Tough to read but necessary. I used to say that braindead useful idiots lack the gene for self preservation, but it’s much worse. They actively bring on their own demise, a kind of ‘suicide by moslem’
Sheep voting for the Wolves and Chickens voting for the Hawk fools never learn
islam in NOT a religion. It is political belief disguising itself as religion. islam NO different than NAZIs. Submit or be killed.
This Christian does not want to be around them.
And will stand and defend my Jewish friends. ✡
:Submit or be killed.”
Christianity was not immune to that either.!
The Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian I and the Visigothic King Sisebut both attempted to force Jewish populations to convert to Christianity. Later, during the Northern Crusades, political pressure and military force were used to convert people to Christianity.
Charlemagne’s campaign in Saxony, where he used harsh measures, including the death penalty, to enforce Christianisation.
In the Northern crusades, the fighting princes obtained widespread conversion through political pressure or military coercion.
The imposition of religious or belief systems has often been imposed on subjugated groups by violence and threats of death by their oppressors. It is the history of all mankind and not just Islam or the Nazis.
I also support Israel and its just war aims against all those who want to see Israel wiped off the map.
What is all that got to do with the price of tea in China? Whataboutism, equivalence, rationalism?
Communists always nickel and dime whenever they are guilty of something truly evil with weird propaganda tactics like this.
You could have filled volumes here and you wouldn’t have even needed to mention the continent of Europe.
Christianity arrived in Europe 1,500 plus years before a Christian set foot in the Americas. So it is appropriate to speak to the often brutally forced “conversion” of non-Christian culures to Christianity in the context of the remark posted: “Submit or be killed’ in relation to Islam and the Nazis to the exclusion of others such as Christians, as though “Submit or be killed’ did not apply to Christian history. Something you appear to be unable to acknowledge.
Christian violence events are just bookends to a massive library of Islamic slaughter.
I could call myself a leopard, but no matter how many times I proclaimed it, I would never be a leopard.
Christians do not force anyone to join their form of worship, and do not murder millions for not joining.
There are two belief systems that do force and murder, but Christianity is not one of them.
“There are two belief systems that do force and murder, but Christianity is not one of them.”
You write in ignorance of history but not surprising by those blind who cannot see.
Res Voluntaria, Non Necessaria: The Conquest and Forced
Conversion of the Saxons under Charlemagne
Was Charlemagne Christian? Yes, Charlemagne was a devout Christian.
The phrase “Res Voluntaria, Non Necessaria” (Latin for “a voluntary thing, not necessary”) refers to the forced conversion of the Saxons under Charlemagne. This phrase highlights the contradiction between the stated principle of voluntary conversion to Christianity and the reality of Charlemagne’s brutal military conquest and subsequent forced religious conversion of the Saxon people. Charlemagne’s wars against the Saxons, spanning from 772 to 804, aimed to integrate them into the Frankish empire and impose Christianity upon them, despite their resistance.
There are other historical examples of Christianity being imposed on subjugated peoples by violence and threats of death for resisting “conversion”. However as I mentioned this is not confined to any one belief system or religion it is the history of all mankind.
How about(ism) The Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648) was Christian religious war following the Protestant revolt against Catholic rule in Central Europe following the Protestant Reformation. There are parallels with the war between Shia and Sunni Islam. So nothing new.
The West has been insulated from such horrors for so long, as the article says, they don’t believe it will happen to them, or perhaps don’t care in some nihilistic space in their minds–so what, murder? Do they love anything? Ask the Armenians who experienced Genocide or other Christians who are being killed by Muslims probably in this very moment. And of course the threat to the Jewish nation.
So, by your logic, let’s NOT hold Islam to a higher standard?? Are Christians doing it now?? Has not Christianity eliminated that doctrine??
I’m sick of people like you.
Islam and Christianity have been fighting each other since seventh century with one or the other having dominance over the other throughout history.
As a Catholic I am opposed to the Islamsation of Europe imposed on our peoples without any consent. However I do not deny, like you seem to do, that Christians also at one time used “submit or be killed” to forcible “convert” subjugated communities into Christianity.
I’m sick of people like you.”
Sticks and stones……

It’s an organised crime gang. Once you’re in, there’s no escape.
One of the early prominent muslims; I cannot recall who or when; actually admitted that the threat of death for those who leave islam is the only thing that prevents the cult from disintegrating.
To hell with The Police. I always hated Sting and his arrogant band
Remember how Sting, wielding his environmentalist credentials, bought up a chunk of Amazon rainforest and then gave it to the Indians who lived there, who then promptly made contracts with the loggers to benefit economically from what was now legally theirs! They, the Stings never learn because they never knew anything anyway!
Gordan Sumner is not just an asshole, he is the whole ass. I used to be his driver.
Stupidity will hasten the fall of the civilization, there is little doubt.
To step back just a little, look at this anthropologically to see how the cult of love ties into the cult of death. The hippies went from the Summer of Love (1967) to Woodstock (summer 1969). And then, just three months after the latter, on 6 December 1969, the “love and peace” Sixties ended at Altamont. “Let it all hang out” and “Anything goes” really appeared to mean losing one’s mind. Which is, of course, what the Sixties exalted.
Contemporary rock culture continues the Romantic tradition of the nineteenth century and especially Wagner, its apogee. His artworks of the future turn out to be the pop video. And he composed the Liebestod (the love-death song), supposedly his most sublime creation.
Were these massacres at these venues and these later reactions “accidents”, or all-too-frighteningly part of a tradition? Is there a horrible equation here: “we want to kill you” plus “we want to be dead” equals “and we love you anyway”?
People have been conditioned to believe that by condoning the terrorists that they will be spared in future attacks. The people don’t realize that their actions , or inactions, are speeding up the oncoming Islamic caliphate in their homeland.
Feeding the crocodiles in the hope that they will eat you last, to paraphrase Winston Churchill.
Some time ago, perhaps 20 years ago, I recall a French politician saying words to the effect : “We must be kind to muslms so that when they are in power, they will be kind to us”.
That mentality is prevalent throughout the Western world. It’s defeatism, self-hate, cowardice and treachery towards their own people. And that applies to all those who have such a fantasy view of islam; from the rats and snakes in politics, to the dizzy young white female airheads who post on social media about how they hate their country, while strutting around with a palestine flag flying over their shoulder.
It is Stockholm Syndrome on steroids. When victims fall in love with their killers. The entire West is succumbing to this suicidal phenomenon.
Just tell that creep Mamdani that “liberation is a construct” next time he yells for us to free palestine.
The Pied Piper, Satan, IS ON A ROLL ! Bringing in the sheeple.
What can be done.
It’s simple. We already have criminal enterprise statutes. Islam is a (cult) criminal enterprise.
American RICO statutes (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) were intended to go after the mafia. The acts of Islamic mullahs and jihadis clearly falls into the same pattern as the mafia. The only difference being, Islam’s claim of an oddball form of “religious legitimacy”.
The US should use the RICO statutes to, declare Islam, a criminal enterprise. Then close Islam down as it presently exists in the US.
RICO allows the government to follow crime and money. Then, arrest all, and confiscate anything in its path.
You can be sure the movement of money for jihad is widespread. You can be sure the incitement and communication between mullahs and mosques is wide spread. You can also be sure there is foreign involvement. The RICO statutes were made just for this type of activity.
Use a small army of CPAs and attorneys to investigate every jihad attack. Follow 100% of the money back to its source. Track anyone involved, in any way. Then use the RICO statutes to jail, confiscated, and shut down all involved. That includes:
M1 – Shutting down mosques involved in any jihad attack.
M2 – Arrest mullahs involved.
M3 – Follow, and confiscate, all jihad money back to its source.
Antisemitism somehow became fashionable and vogue after the slaughter in Israel 10-7-2023 – Why?
Where are people’s conscience parked at?
Antisemitism is more insidious, pervasive and deep seated than I imagined. I followed the link of “New York’s Metropolitan Opera put on a production of The Death of Klinghoffer”

I really thing these are the Biblical end times where YHVH G-D Almighty isn’t going to separate the wheat from the chaff, we are doing it ourselves. There may be more chaff than wheat.
YHVH and Yeshua Messiah Lord Jesus Christ are my strength.
Progressivism’s belief that the endless pursuit of truth and inclusioin thru academia, by virtue signaling the end of Islamophobia, and wishing the Star Trek Federation into existence will defang Islam into joining this make believe globalist utopia. We will be watching the very same wars acted out in what occured in Afghanistan where the invincibility of Communist superiority believed they would easily defeat backwards Islamic tribalists. That was a warning for the West which we have ignored. The West has a pact with suicide against a people who are not afraid of death.
