“Once They Feared the White Man; Now They Despise Him”

Danger is knocking at the door. The colored races are not pacifists. . . They take up the sword when we lay it down. Once they feared the white man; now they despise him. Our judgment stands written in their eyes when men and women comport themselves in their presence as we do, at home or in the lands of color themselves. — Oswald Spengler

I believe the old definition of a nanosecond was the gap between a New York traffic light changing to green and the first honk of a driver behind you. Today, the definition of a nanosecond is the gap between a western terrorist incident and the press release of a Muslim lobby group warning of an impending outbreak of Islamophobia. — Mark Steyn

After several deadly Islamic terrorist attacks in France, President Emmanuel Macron made clear that his government won’t be intimidated and will continue to support secularism and free speech. President Macron also suggested Islam needs an “Enlightenment.” Meanwhile, police have raided the homes of “radicalized individuals” and shut down one Mosque. Jean Castex, the Prime Minister, said, “Other actions will follow . . . [against] networks and individuals who are attacking our basic values and the Republican ideal.”

The Muslim world is furious. The former Prime Minister of Malaysia said, “Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people for the massacres of the past.” A guard at the French consulate in Saudi Arabia was stabbed, and massive anti-French protests are spreading across Asia. Here is what many Muslims have to say.
