X Your Fingers and Pray

Posted by Tina

All of the bad news in the world seems to have conjoined today to form one big black layered mass in my heart. Corruption and injustice abound. My country is teetering on the edge, threatening to fall into an unforgiving abyss of racial ugliness. Incredibly, after nearly fifty years of making amends and striving for equality there are those who actually court such a thing happening.

Our economic situation does not offer solace or safe harbor for any American and the overall economic state of the world offers little solace. Is it any wonder I’m feeling down?

But just as I was about to begin my blues repertoire I tripped over an article that produced some light.
The article, “As Washington Dithers, Arabs Rally To Egypt’s Revolt Against Political Islam,” by Youssef Ibrahim is featured in The Sun of New York and begins:

Arabs are flocking to support Egypt’s upheaval against political Islam.
In the past ten days alone Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates pledged $12 billion in cash, fuel, food, wheat, interest-free loans, and gifts. Vast shipments of gasoline and wheat have poured in so fast that the four-hour standard waits at gasoline stations and a shortage of bread disappeared overnight.

No doubt the support is sincere, but no doubt, too, that the endorsement is also driven by the danger Islamists represent in these countries’ own backyards. On July 3, the day President Morsi was removed by the army in Cairo, a court at Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates, sentenced 61 professionals of the Muslim Brotherhood to between 10 and 25 years for plotting a coup….

Has anyone heard anything like that before? I can’t believe it…and this quote that comes a little further in, “In a new vernacular, radical Islam emerges as malevolent monster conspiring against multi-sectarian, multi-religious, and multi-ethnic societies, advocating Wahhabi Islam, civil wars, and financial ruin.”

Blinking my eyes now…might it be possible that there is a solid commitment among the Arabs to defeat this violent radical enemy? Read on dear friends to a message that I couldn’t have wished more to hear:

A more innovative American approach would start with a public renunciation of political Islam as the anti-democratic and fascist practice it is for any people aspiring to liberty.

I wouldn’t count on that one but on a day when lady liberty hung her head in shame in America, it is good to hear there are those in the Middle East with a clear headed vision to defeat the bad guys. The white hats are in view…at least for now.

I also noticed a couple of bad guys in the drug business were captured recently, one in Mexico and another in Europe.

I’m feeling a bit better now. Hope you all have (had) a good night.

    That’s strange and unexpected news and it’s also long over due. I wondered when the financial ruin part was going to take hold. The world is fed up with radical Islam to the point that all of Islam is taking it on the chin and they probably should too, they’ve been like passive codendants in this terrorism frenzy.

    Strange is a good word. I was wide-eyed with open mouth as I read it. The people are finally naming the enemy as the “malevolent monsters” that they are.

    There ate malevolent monsters doing their work in this country as well. I hope the day is approaching when they can be named by those being hurt most.

      If the Muslim world had condemned terrorists as malevolent monsters 20 years ago, think how many innocent deaths they could have prevented! Well, better late than never.

  3. Tina says:

    Boy, you’re right about that…maybe fifty years ago when the monsters were backing Hitler!

    This is a lesson for black America…they are their only hope!

    Tina, Hopefully, this will make you feel better too. As the old saying goes, “Know your enemy,” this 2010 article explains the who and what we are dealing with when it comes to the Muslims.

    Muslim Inbreeding: Impacts on intelligence, sanity, health and society:
    EuropeNews 9 August 2010
    By Nicolai Sennels

    Massive inbreeding within the Muslim culture during the last 1.400 years may have done catastrophic damage to their gene pool. The consequences of intermarriage between first cousins often have serious impact on the offspring’s intelligence, sanity, health and on their surroundings

    The most famous example of inbreeding is in ancient Egypt, where several Pharaonic dynasties collapsed after a couple of hundred years. In order to keep wealth and power within the family, the Pharaohs often married their own sister or half-sister and after a handful of generations the offspring were mentally and physically unfit to rule. Another historical example is the royal houses of Europe where royal families often married among each other because tradition did not allow them to marry people of non-royal class.

    The high amount of mentally retarded and handicapped royalties throughout European history shows the unhealthy consequences of this practice. Luckily, the royal families have now allowed themselves to marry for love and not just for status.

    The Muslim culture still practices inbreeding and has been doing so for longer than any Egyptian dynasty. This practice also predates the world’s oldest monarchy (the Danish) by 300 years.

    A rough estimate shows that close to half of all Muslims in the world are inbred: In Pakistan, 70 percent of all marriages are between first cousins (so-called “consanguinity”) and in Turkey the amount is between 25-30 percent (Jyllands-Posten, 27/2 2009 More stillbirths among immigrants”

    So, in other words we may be attempting to deal with individuals who lack the ability to comprehend and understand rational thought, much like a child under the age of four. Kind of gives us a clearer picture.

    That would cheer me up if it weren’t so darn tragic. Well this news, if true, explains a lot but also points to the need for strong leadership just to keep order.

    I’m more heartened by the fact that, despite America’s bumbling efforts, there are those in the Arab world that are finally willing to name the enemy and take steps to defeat them and keep them from power. Fingers cross I continue to pray for resolution and peace, God willing.

  6. Chris says:

    Peggy, that article literally reads like Nazi propoganda.

    • Post Scripts says:

      Chris, you shouldn’t be reading Nazi propoganda..shame on you. I on the other hand wouldn’t have a clue what Nazi propoganda looks like, never read the stuff.

  7. Peggy says:

    Chris, Here is what I could find about the author.

    From Wikipedia: “Nicolai Sennels (born Denmark 11. febuary 1976). Education: psychololist. Longtime practitioner of Tibetan Diamondway Buddhism.”

    And this introduction by Nancy Kobrin, author of The Banality of Suicide Terrorism.

    “Like Sennels, I came away with a similar sense that Western law enforcement and the general public did not understand why there was so much crime in the Muslim population. And why there has been this problem of jail house converts to Islam who then become radicalized through contact with other criminal Muslims during incarceration.

    Islam is the perfect religion to give justification for those who feel under attack and to maintain the eternal “victim” fantasy. Islam is also “higher” than Christianity because it comes last in co-opting the revelations of Sinai and the New Testament. What a perfect receptacle for projecting hatred. Islam incites, encourages and permits hatred of the Jew and Jihad. It’s perfect for a fragile personality that has the need to hate and the need to have an enemy. There are billions of people out there who share those sentiments and that profile. As an underdog religion, Islam provides great mass appeal, which even Eric Hoffer, the author of the True Believer, noted in 1951. It should come as no surprise that its numbers are growing. If one has a grievance, Islam will take care of it.

    Sennels adeptly outlines the key problems of why Muslims are not able to integrate into Western culture. What he doesn’t say, I shall name. We are dealing with nothing more than paranoia. Sennels stresses that the West must set boundaries because otherwise they will kill you. This kind of rage is malignant borderline behavior as in serial killing. We must come to understand such politically incorrect observations as Sennels does in order to connect the dots concerning criminal Muslims even though it is brutal.

    Happy well-adjusted children do not become suicide bombers nor do they become criminals. Let us choose to know what we are dealing with rather than bury our heads in sand out of terror. Let us meet the challenge straight on as Sennels has. If the Swedes had intellectual fortitude, Nicolai Sennels, the Dane, should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for standing up and proclaiming that the “Emperor Has No Clothes.” But then again, that is a Danish tale and the Swedes are left with Ingmar Bergman’s drama. Need I say more?”
