Jean-Christophe Mounicq

The morning of Jan. 29, upon hearing about the attack on a bus in Jerusalem, I did not experience the expected emotion. It seemed such a "normal" thing, and I have not enough tears to shed for people I do not know.

    The next day, on Jan. 30, I read an article about one of the victims — Avraham Belhassen, 26 years old, a young father — and realized that I could tolerate no more. I can no longer tolerate terrorist folly, Islamist hatred, the passivity of Muslims, the blindness of the West.

    Following the attacks in Madrid, this feeling struck me again. The reaction of the Spanish people, cringing in fear before the Islamist claim of responsibility, bothered me even more. I can no longer tolerate such cowardly Munich-like behavior that leads inevitably to dishonor and war.

    The reaction of the European media and political class to the elimination of Sheikh Yassin — the master of hate and terrorism, and one who had called for the murder of Jews — pushed me over the edge. I can no longer tolerate descriptions of the monster responsible for hundreds of deaths and thousands of wounded as a "spiritual leader," a poor "paralytic in a wheelchair." I can no longer tolerate murderous, barbaric Islamist hatred.

    I can no longer tolerate the electoral victories of Islamists in Algeria, Turkey or France. I can no longer tolerate the indifference of Muslim leaders and the majority of Muslims to the suffering of non-Muslims. I can no longer tolerate their affected statements or their perpetual self-victimization.

    I can no longer tolerate the double game of Yasser Arafat, the Saudi princes or Pakistani leaders. I can no longer tolerate watching Muslims dance with joy, in the Palestinian territories or in Paris, following attacks on the World Trade Center or an Israeli bus. I can no longer tolerate their anti-Semitism, anti-Christianism, anti-Buddhism or anti-Hinduism.

    I can no longer tolerate those who hate liberty but take every advantage of it. I can no longer tolerate Islamist lack of respect for secularism and equality, between men and women, Muslims and others. I can no longer tolerate their lack of respect for the cultures of the very countries that shelter them. I can no longer tolerate the multiplication of veils on women in the streets of Paris.

    I can no longer tolerate attacks on French officials, abusive complaints against the police, terrorism against judges, the ban against teaching about the Holocaust in schools, or the brutalization of male doctors who treat Muslim women in hospitals. I can no longer tolerate burning cars in Strasbourg and synagogues in Bondi. I can no longer tolerate catcalls when the Marseillaise is played during games at the Stadium of France. I can no longer tolerate the cries of "death to Jews" in their demonstrations or "death to Christians" written on walls.

    I can no longer tolerate concealing the massacres of Christians and Jews in Islamic countries, Copts in the Middle East, of one-and-a-half million Orthodox Armenians in Turkey at the beginning of the last century, as well as a million-and-a-half Christian Sudanese at its end. I can no longer tolerate Muslim ethnic cleansing in Kosovo or Palestine. I can no longer tolerate Islamist totalitarianism.

    I can no longer tolerate the relativism and masochism of a West incapable of recalling its own history other than to denounce it. I can no longer tolerate comparing the Crusades to jihad, when the Crusades were nothing but a parenthesis in the history of Christianity while jihad is an integral part of Islam.

    I can no longer tolerate the cowardice, weakness and mediocrity of the majority of Western leaders, or the unwillingness of Westerners to affirm their own values and the superiority of liberty and democracy over all other principles and systems. I can no longer tolerate the inability of Europe to recall its Judeo-Christian heritage.

    I can no longer tolerate taxes that the European Union transforms into subsidies for the Palestinian Authority or that France transforms into arms for Saddam Hussein. I can no longer tolerate paying the maternity bills for women ready to sacrifice their infants as suicide bombers or for teaching children hatred on the West Bank.

    I'm going to pray in the memory of Avraham, pray that his death and those of so many others might finally open the eyes of the cowards in the West who refuse to face the truth. I'm going to pray for Westerners to understand that the war on terrorism is in reality a war against Islamism, and that Islamism is gaining ground among Muslims.

    I'm going to pray that moderate Muslims might organize demonstrations against the terrorists just as Corsicans and Basques have demonstrated against their own terrorists. Pray that Islam, which is entering its nuclear era, might become neither conqueror nor warrior, but rather adapt to modernity before it is too late.

"Pray that Islam, which is entering its nuclear era, might become neither conqueror nor warrior, but rather adapt to modernity before it is too late.

Islam is a failed philosophy which has collapsed into a death cult.

I'm no expert on anything, but....

It seems like Palestinians are the victims of modernity!

They haven't seen the fruits of western democracy, except from behind a fence. And those fruits are on the other side and unreachable. The European nations *should* intervene to support democracy in Israel, by enfranchising Palesitnians as full Israeli citizens. (How you like them apples?)

OK, so that is "unrealistic". Maybe they should have implemented some kind of representative democracy back when Israel was founded. Instead of hoarding all the power and screwing over the locals, Colonist style.

And, that vaunted European Judeo-Christian history was, umm... war and genocide between Jews and Christians.

Awwright, I've had my say. Ignore it if you want, because I'm largely ignorant about the situation there.

Welcome on board Sonali!

Some of us decided we could not tolerate this after the 9-11 genocide by Islamists, or the USS Cole bombing by Islamists, or the Khobar towers attack by Islamists, or the market bombings in Israel by Islamists, or the two US Embassy bombings in East Africa by Islamists, or the first bombing at the world trade towers in NYC by Islamists, or Pan Am 103 bombing over Scotland by Islamists, the US embassy bombing in Beruit by Islamists, or the Aquilie Lauro attack in the Med by Islamists, or the bombings at the Rome Airport by Islamists, or the Munich Olympic murders by Islamists, or any one of the school bus bombings in Israel by Islamists, the bodies of US soldiers on a humanitarian mission dragged through the streets of Mogadishu by Islamists. To name just a few.

Islam does not mean peace it means literally "submit".

All non believers (code word for christians, jews, Hindus, Budhists, pagans, etc.) must convert or die.

"Modern" Islamists are not unlike the dark age Spanish inquisition of the 1500 hundreds. The problem is the Islamists are still in a 12th to 16th century state of mind depending on where they are.

When a madman is stalking you and your family and bent on torturing and killing you there can be no negogiations, you must fight back to survive. One can not negogiate their own death and hope to live.

Islamists are that mad man.

Please notice I am saying Islamists and not Muslims, big difference. As you mention many moderate peacefull Muslims coexist with Westerners in Western nations.

It is rare any Muslim peacefully coexist with a Westerner in an Eastern nation where they feel free to exercise their religous, racial and cultural beliefs of superiority and violence.

As for the Terrorist-Nuclear-Age it is closer than ever and it will come. And it will come to the shores of free nations like the US. It is only a matter of time. The money, motivation, and technology black market are all in place.

You could never tolerate, after all, you are a Zionist.

particularly since most if not all of the above were operations of our and Israel's intelligence services.

Israel has never done anything bad to anyone.

Israel is a country of saints, you shitbird.

if people could abandon superstition, whether it is a belief that the month you were born determines your personality, or that a rabbi rose from the dead two thousand years ago, or that an arab tribesman spoke directly to a god for which there is no proof of existence (i could go on here), this would eliminate within a generation or two all this religious strife.

just some food for thought.

"particularly since most if not all of the above were operations of our and Israel's intelligence services."

We have a winner!

Bob wins today's Tinfoil Hat/ Haldol award for the most excellent display of deluded cyber-conspiracy theory gibberish.

Nice going Bob and an extra few points for working in some good ole fashioned Jew hating into that crazy talk of yours.

Sheepdog will swing by later in a remote controlled jet and present you with the award right before taking you out to a nice chicken dinner at our very own "Chemtrails" bistro.

Congratulations Bob!

"...good ole fashioned Jew hating..."

Wow! So anyone who criticizes Israel hates all Jewish people? Please give us some more of this third grade logic of yours.

MORON.

"Wow! So anyone who criticizes Israel hates all Jewish people?"

Not at all, but to claim that Israel was responsible for most if not all of the terror attacks perpetrated by Islamic terrorists over the last couple of decades is true is not only utterly ridiculous but goes well beyond "criticism" to outright delusional hatred.

I mean, do YOU actually believe that Israel was responsible for the WTC bombings 1 and 2, the Cole bombing, the bombings in Indonesia, the bombings in Spain?

Is that actually an intelligently supported idea that you hold as verifiable?

Let me help you. Ideas like that simply border on mental illness. To take absolutely irrefutable evidence and facts that have been universally accepted as true on the face such as the simple assertion that Islamic terrorists have committed all the aforementioned acts of terrorism, and come up with the notion that the world is wrong and you are right is schizophrenia.

This has nothing to do with left vs right, dem vs. republican, anarchist vs. capitalist. This has EVERYTHING to do with delusions vs. reality.

This site is a virtual museum of mental pathology with regards to the incredible and fantastical and often outright racist conspiracy theories that fall from the minds and fingers of fools like sheep and bob and whatever else they are calling themselves today.

If you really believe that Islamists have been falsely accused of committing all these crimes then hats off to you. You've successfully created your own alternate reality.
