Reader comment on item: [Brandeis University President Jehuda] Reinharz, Israel and Me

Submitted by Homefront (Australia), Feb 14, 2007 at 21:08

Universities set the trajectory for all future thought, debate and discussion amongst the most educated and influential members of our society. When thought becomes as politically loaded and disconnected from reality as it has within these institutions, our future and our present are no longer our own to determine.

As deluded as members of the Islamic faith have a tendency to be, they retain a fierce and admirable political pragmatism and an unshakable resolve that coupled with their fecundity has guaranteed the Islamisation of Europe, unless some miraculous reformation of their faith occurs, or an evenly miraculous awakening inspires indigenous europeans to avert this looming disaster. Westerners, with very few exceptions, are the product of the 1960s. We are flower children first and foremost dedicated to rediscovering our innocence and viewing the world (even archaic and brutal cultures like Islam) with a fresh sense of wonder and without judgement.

A great part then of our university education being now political rather than dedicated to the expostion of reality teaches its students to hold rigid opinions and disregard all evidence to the contrary. When Sheik Taj Al Hilali the leader of Australia's 300,000 strong muslim community makes pro rape and Anti Australian statements for example, this is assumed to be a minority opinion or the voice of the past in the Islamic community. Disproportionate weight is place upon the word of innumerable persons within the Islamic community that handle public relations for this publically funded body or that dedicated to promoting multicultural values. Little is seen or said of the ten thousand muslim rally in support of the Sheik and his opinions.

The actions of the pack rapists led by Bilal Skaf in Sydney thus become perfectly understandable. On the one hand modern society taught him an appreciation of western ideals of beauty. His own community and its religious leaders taught him hatred of westerners. His actions merely reconciled his need for sexual gratification with his preexisting Islamic prejudices. The Islamic communities response to this is to naturally enough blame us for our standards. In their neck of the woods females are responsible for the sexual conduct of men. So too they maintain it should be in our society. Bring on the burka!

The left are only too quick to join them in condemning our society. This assault is the perfect platform for them to introduce their utopian values by stealth. Cultural relativism prevents any effective defense of all the hard won sexual and other liberties and as much as the left has fought for these its totalitarian pretensions are better served by their close relationship with Islam. Rather than socialist reorganisation however this little circus produces societal disintegration.

I hold out as evidence of this societal disintegration the London Councillor Salma Yaqoob who recently acted as seconder to "red" London Mayor Ken Livingstone. Here is a woman who has openly supported numerous acts of terror against her chosen home country, yet she has been able to find political franchise and patronage within local government. No greater insult could have ever been levelled at the British troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Whilst they fight against Islamist ideology overseas not only is said ideology colonising their home country but it is also governing their country. In a sane Britain she would find it very hard to exist let alone find political franchise. She should be stripped of her seat, her citizenship and deported to someplace like Iran where she can walk the talk so to speak.

Victory starts at home. We must win back our universities and our legistature. Then take the fight to our enemies overseas. It makes little sense fighting our enemies everywhere at once inside our countries and out. Not even America, famous for fighting WW2 on two fronts, can fight on this many.

Homefront.
