| Today,
2 things. First, I'm wondering: will there be a day that air movement
as we know it dies? Second, I've been given information about the
Crusades I didn't know - and no, it's not that the Crusades were a
response to Islamic aggression.
But first of all, here's something on crazy seeing and not seeing. There's mainstream insistence that we have wonderful screening programs to keep out Islamic terrorists.
Yet
the other day when I went to a municipal courthouse to drop off some
papers, I couldn't do this easily and quickly. I had to go through the
same amount of screening as at an airport. There were security guards
with guns - more than at an airport, in fact. How long has this
screening been in place, I asked. 5 weeks.
A couple of days
later I was at a small community event - with police presence. It's a
yearly summer tradition: supper, talent show, fireworks. Families,
little kids, teenagers, older people. Since when have there been police,
I asked. This was the second year. Why have police? Everyone knows the
answer. There's a danger everyone knows about. But no one was mentioning
it.
I mentioned the new security measures to a friend who was
insisting we had good screening to keep out terrorists. So why the
increased security, I answered. You have a point, he said. Right, see no
evil, but increase security.
Something else: what's the
cost of all this security? There are thousands of small towns across
Canada - thousands of community events. There's a courthouse in each
city. And there are lots of other Western countries. What is this
costing taxpayers? How high will the cost go?
And then,
since it's important to be unprejudiced, of course any hiring will not
discriminate against people from any group. But what if, as the saying
goes, one is open to hiring foxes to guard the henhouse - in this case,
if one is open to hiring people who adhere to an ideology that advocates
the destruction of our civilization, to keep us and our civilization
safe?
My sense (from the evidence): as
long as the content of the Quran is unchanged (and no one is allowed to
modify the content, on pain of death), there will continue to be fuel
for Islamic terrorism.
If you have any doubt, or are having a hard time convincing someone else about this, get your copy of The Quick and Easy Guide to Understanding Islam:

| At Blois in 1171, all members of the Jewish community
were burned at the stake following such an accusation, and from the
13th century similar charges were raised in Germany.

Maybe you already knew this. I didn't.
Important for all of us to know.

(The
story of the Crusades is of course even more complex, including
economic reasons for attacks on Jews by local gentry, economic
incentives for going on the Crusades, and the promised remittance of
sins through 'indulgences" for those who went. I'm not going to even try
to sort through this. My point here is just that I had no idea of the
impact of the Crusades on the Jews in Europe.)
Why write
about this? "And the truth shall set you free." We need to know the
truth. At the time of the Crusades, those who stayed with the truth
about who was the target (Islamic invaders) did not attack Jews.
Further
lesson. The people who disseminated more of the truth about the
Crusades - that the impetus was Islamic invasion - appear to have been
mainly Christians and not Jews, or why has the piece of truth about what
happened to the Jews been missing from what I've heard? On the other
hand, unlike the distortion about bad Crusaders invading the Middle East
(and therefore any Islamic invasion is no worse), the omission seems
just that, an omission, rather than a deliberate distortion.
Still
another lesson. The people most fueled by rage and the desire to
attack, rather than by the desire to protect Christians in the Middle
East, were the people most likely to attack the Jews. | I think of the
rage inherent in the BlackLivesMatter movement, the NoOneIsIllegal
movement, the ClimateChange movement, in what is known as political
correctness - dangerous.
I also know that some counter jihad people have what I would call "rage fuel." Important to let this go.
There's lots of space for fact-centered outrage, what we could term righteous rage (meaning based on truth).
Not
always easy to sort through what is too rage-fueled, where there could
be more emotion-fuel, and so on. On the one side are those with no
access to outrage, to intense emotion - on the other are those often
burning with outrage without paying attention to the direction, like
those Crusaders who attacked Jews instead of keeping their outrage for
those who had been invading Christian territory and attacking
Christians.
And now, as always all the best to all who care and dare,

PS. A reminder: there is a fund raising drive underway for Geert Wilders - a major force for truth and against Islam.
I've heard him called the bravest man in the world. He's lived for over
a decade with round the clock security - but will not stop speaking
out. Now he's facing a trial which may result in his going to jail
before he has the chance to be elected prime minister of the
Netherlands. For more information and to donate:

Why do you need to go online to let the sources for information.
Because the more sources that are included, the more likely the email is
to be blocked.
