Post mortem

Submitted by Bishop Gabrielle Crofts OCC (Australia), Oct 7, 2012 at 08:55

Dear Daniel,

I have been a long time supporter and reader, not just of all of your books which I have purchased over many years, but of your blog also many years. I have not ever read you write anything to my knowledge or memory, which could be accused of inciting hate speech, or inciting racism, or hatred to muslims themselves. I commend you for this very respectful and insightful article. In fact it was you whom inspired me to learn about Islam since 1990 and since, and Sir you are a true brave hero to me, to be so strong and courageous about a subject most academics flee from in fear. Islam is the subject and Political Islam your insights are truly remarkable for a man.

I have studied Islam though no where near your level of advanced and amazing Academic expert PHD level. I have personally studied it and also at Uni when I studied Women In Islam.

I would like to raise the following I hope in agreement with you.

I remember very clearly The Rushdie Affair, where a Islamic cleric Ayatollah Khomeini issued a death Fatwah against Salman Rushdie for daring to write a book Satanic Verses.

At the time I believed that the Western Nations should have banned all exports to Iran and frozen all bank accounts in Irans banking in the West, and banned Iranians from entering The West, I still do.

Instead the Western Governments by far did the very worst thing that they could possibly have done, and that was to allow intimidation and threats to stand - instead the West should have taken him to the International Court and had him charged with crimes against humanity for inciting to murder an innocent man. He broke no law in the West. All Western nations needed to stand their ground and refuse to trade with any nation in support of this edict. The West should have stopped import of all oil from Iran nad given focus to expand their search for and drilling of oil in their own nations. Personally, I would have issued a arrest warrant against him for criminal threats against a human being and put it clearly in the judiciary courts/

Diplomatically: The Western nations should have issued a ban on all travel for all Iranians into and out of Iran, together with a ban on all student scholarships or student visas and tourist visas and closed down the Iranian missions and embassies world wide.

Regarding now today's issues:

Tolerance to evil is a crime. Edmund Burke.

Islamic governments are opportunistic. The "blame the Jews" for everything usually works on uneducated backward and socially bronze aged minds and practices where paranoia and conspiracy theory is considered facts.

The economic realities of failed states due to uneducated bronze aged shariah based finance and banking, and inept economic and social policies is what makes the muslim nations amongst poorest and least educated in the world. The economic and social disparity between men and women in Islamic Law and Islamic nations means this situation will worsen and not improve in the globalist era where islamic women majority are oppressed, violated, honour killed, slaughtered if they show any resistance to the patriarchalists in control. Human rights are a non existent idea.

Democracy will not work unless there is a multi generational civilisational education in western based ideals, growth and civilisational change in equality between men and women.

The riots and protests were goaded on by islamic clerics for their own power and control, and America and Israel, "The great and Lesser Satan" the West is hated to the very core of the souls and hearts of a brainwashed masses in the middle east. The anger and hate of our freedoms our way of life and our liberties and open society will continue to grow unabated.

USA giving Pakistan an enemy of theirs 2 billion dollars is insanity and crass appeasement of an enemy. USA giving Egyptian government which is Muslim Brotherhood 2 Billion in Aid proves that Obama is not fit to be President. Hillary Clinton is way out of her depth, she would have been better hiring me as an advisor than allow Muslim Brotherhood operatives into the State Dept. The only message clearly given by the Obama Administration is that USA is now at its weakest morally ethically and economically, its military facing further cuts and a muslim in Chief who loves Islam more than America itself. Islamic nations now are so bold they know that the more demands that are made on the White house, the more that Obama will weaken and kow tow to maintain "peace in our time at all costs". I believe that we are entering a dangerously perilous next five years where appeasement and advances in stealth jihadism, together with pathetically moronic short sighted judges who want to make liberalism judgements and create law from the bench, who want to destroy the Freedom of Speech in appeasement to great evil and are endangering national safety and damaging forever the US Constitution.

In short I believe Obama and the massive failures of the US Government in policy weakness and appeasement cowardice and fear, has made USA and Israel in a deadly weakened position and more riots and attacks will continue to eventuate because so far it has worked in islamists favour to get more money more weapons and back tracking on erosions of freedoms in the west.

Farewell USA I fear for thee.

The lack of strength being shown by Obama and Clinton has given much power and strength to all of Islamic nations and will further embolden the islamic ummah to attack more and more the outposts of civilisation , the Diplomatic Missions and Embassies. God save the Diplomatic staff and agents in future for under Obama they will be sacrificed in despicable weak kneed reductions of safety and capacity to defend their soil. What should have instantly happened in response was stop all foreign aid and using carpet bombing, flatten all of Syria and any other nation where the American Embassies were attacked. I remember Reagan and America needs a new Reagan and Obama just does not have what it takes to be a true defender of the freedoms of Americans , and their safety. Weakness and appeasement to evil only makes evil stronger and bolder. What is needed is to act from strength not weak appeasement.

Sincerely

Gabrielle Crofts
