During this process of Islamisation, a good way of gauging the will to resist in the general population is to monitor the speed of recovery after each individual Muslim outrage; that is, how long it takes for the public to resume its usual apathetic mood after being shocked anew by a terror attack or comparable scandal involving Muslims.
Let’s consider a brief history:
The events of 9/11 – an attack that introduced the concept of Islamic terror to the apolitical everyman – made a particularly lasting imprint on the popular consciousness. Little else was discussed for months afterward, and the resonance of the tragedy lasted for many years.
After that, the Madrid and London bombings, which first highlighted the vulnerability of European states to the foreign elements in their own domestic population, elicited a similar level of shock and anger. Newspapers reported the story for weeks and sections of the public reacted with the ‘Still not scared’ meme on social networks. At the longest estimate though, the tragedy maintained the public’s attention for several months.
When Drummer Lee Rigby was run-over and then savagely beheaded in a South London street by two African Muslim converts, a uniquely intense wave of popular fury shook the United Kingdom. Marches were held, speeches were made; political parties made strident and inspiring statements. It then died away in a matter of weeks.
And over the past few days, two outrages in swift succession: first, the Canadian parliament – the beating heart of an important, first-world country – was attacked by a Jihadist gunman; then, in New York – capital city of the modern West – a Muslim attempted to kill a Police Officer with an axe. Though it’s still too early to say for sure, attention to these latest attacks seems to have lasted barely a few days.
The pattern here is obvious: Years, then months, then weeks, then days… Jihadism – it seems – is becoming assimilated into everyday Western life. This is potentially devastating and for several reasons.
Most of all it is because shock and anger are integral to the psychology of human resistance. Without the thunder of disgust prompted by lynchings (for example), there would have been no popular backlash against the KKK. Without the My Lai massacre, the anti-Vietnam war movement would not have been able to marshal the same energy, and so on.
‘Anger’, Malcom X correctly observed, ‘..is a gift’. It is a gift from the enemy that makes his defeat possible. Without it, we have none of the motivation necessary to launch a counter-blast against those who have wronged us.
‘Islamophobia’ then is less a measure of sentiment than of the Western immune system. When stirred to life, it presents a sign that the body of our culture wants to reject something foreign and destructive to it. And that is the system that is becoming degraded and tired out with time.
The immune system of the Islamic world – by contrast – is still fighting fit. As to why it remains as such – my guess would be that there have not been enough Post-Modern Arab or Persian philosophers to introduce the ‘benefits’ of weakness to it. Here in the West – with our Baudrillards, Derridas and Lacans – many of our brightest minds have been hypnotised into believing the most absurd Orwellian principles; Ignorance is strength, diversity is enrichment etc…
And in believing such things, we forgot how merciless truth can be to those who belittle her.
D, LDN.
I think what is also happening is that Islam – the gestalt that is the ummah – is using goodcop / badcop techniques and the pose of victimhood – and the technique also called “gaslighting” – to perfection. Think of how certain types of abusive parent or abusive spouse..or intending violent pimps … “groom” their victims.
Part of what is going on is that Islam – with its techniques of deception, and its phase shift from mecca phase to medina phase – disarms/ confuses its victims by playing nice and then suddenly springing from ambush…and then even while the attacks are happening, or immediately afterward, other parts of the Ummah play nice and try to pose as persecuted victims: think of sweetly doe-eyed hijabettes crying that people are being mean to them! givign them funny looks! , even while bearded jihadis in Islamic state are seizing preteen and teenage girls and gang-raping them and selling them as sex slaves.
I had to look up gas-lighting, but you’re spot on.
It is not just that we are becoming immune to jihad. We have noticed the reactions of our governments and community to it and it is appalling. The first thing that happens (and by the way, you left out the beheading of a woman at a meat packing plant in the U.S. by one of her fellow workers), is a statement from the head of the executive branch of the government reminding us all in a stern voice (implying decisive discipline to all who might disagree) that this behavior has nothing to do with Islam (and if you think it does, we have ways to deal with you). This assures all that NOTHING will be done about said assault and that you should just go about your business and shut up. No further discussion will be tolerated.
Those disagreeing are either ignored or branded racists whose behavior helped to cause the very actions they are protesting. When the rest of society dutifully obeys all commands from the top, you don’t have to wonder why the vocal minority falls into line. There is simply too much at stake to get angry.
And speaking of anger and your quote from Malcolm X (a man who died from karmic retribution in truly beautiful form), his death came at the hands not of the “evil white man, or the devil Jew” as he would constantly drive his hate and anger into the hearts of his audiences, but from his own “superior” black people — Muslims, no less.
As far as the jidhadis go, I can’t possibly be the only one who has read the stories of jihadis who left Europe or the US to fight in Syria and found out it was the biggest mistake of their lives and one which could not be undone.
Remember dear ones: NO ONE ESCAPES THE DIVINE WHEEL OF KARMA. The jihadis and their admirers, enablers, victims and critics alike may think there are no consequences but there are. Politicians and their armies of media soldiers, church groups and professional “do-gooders” may think they are entirely in control but history has proven over and over that the arrogance, rage and cruelty of the evil is a negative energy that always devours itself without mercy.
Indeed. Malcolm X was a terrible person and a jihadist in secular clothes. He was right about anger being a good thing though. We need the kind of rage that swept through America after 9/11.
I hadn’t heard about the meat packing plant incident. I had to look it up. Truly shocking.
Perhaps as Jihad begins to bleed into the everyday life of ordinary people, they will cease to regard us as racists. One can only hope.
