Obmutescent, obedible, omphaloskeptic ovines...

Silent, docile navel-gazing sheep (OK, not sure sheep can do that easily!). We are become...nothing. 

All very depressing. The Naked Emperor's latest "A Picture is worth a Thousand Words": Or a survey result...yes, polls are notoriously more shite then ever but this definitely rings true, and in such a short time (2016-22):

Look at the wording, "definitely should...". We are lost.

Omniloquent observer opines on our obscurantic omphaloskepsis...

Brendan O'Neill on the button again, in Spiked-online "In 2017, our response to terrorism became dangerously passive."... "2017 might prove to be the year we caved in to terrorism.". Writing about the official response and our own response.

"In 2017 we witnessed the rise of the terror amnesia industry – an informal but effective effort by the political class and opinion-forming set to shush serious discussion about terrorism; to tame strong emotions post-terror; to make people forget, in essence, the latest bloody destruction of their fellow citizens, or at least stop thinking about it. 'Don't look back…'"

'The terror amnesia industry', yes indeed. The immediate 'Beware of backlash', 'Beware of Islamophobia', the hiding of facts the under-reporting or omission of facts...and in fact the over-reporting and highlighting of anything to deflect attention.

"This is how deeply the West’s moral cowardice now runs: we are not even permitted to name the ideology that motors the murder of our fellow citizens...."A nation that fails to get angry about the slaughter of its children, and which won’t even allow frank discussion about the ideology used to justify that slaughter, is a nation that has lost its moral anchor.

So very true.

What would Jesus and Mo say?

Updated. Nail on the head about our feeble minded government and weak Western leaders generally. Observations about the 'moderate Muslim' from Daniel Greenfield on his Sultan Knish blog: "The moderate Muslim is an invention of the liberal academic, the secular theologian, the vapid politician and his shrill idiot cousin, the political activist."

"Moderate Islam is just multiculturalism misspelled. Its existence is a firm article of faith for those who believe in multiculturalism."

Well worth a read and whilst there why not read about clearly the worst thing imaginable: The Deadly Israeli House Strikes Again: "There are few weapons as deadly as the Israeli house."



A few more thoughts on much the same theme HERE from 20 months back. Or from this week the suggestions for belated actions from Geert Wilders HERE re Dutch Ostriches.



Update: The other day Dan Hodges posed a question, as a statement really: "Too many of Britain’s Muslims are failing to integrate. We need to find out why"; we all know the answer:  Islam, because they are always Muslim first and tolerant people bend over backwards for them. Those in power have backed off, turned away and far worse attacked those brave enough to speak up or point it out. The Law has ignored their crimes.The solution is to STOP bending over backwards and start pushing back. No tolerance, no leeway, no overlooking.



More links: Diane Abbot deflection; crass apologist.



"Truly this is one of the biggest scandals of our time. And it's going to get bigger" from James Delingpole: "Rotherham - with 1400 girls abused - is just the tip of the iceberg."
