Glorifying the worst: Upcoming Rolling Stone covers

After honoring Boston Marathon terror bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev with what actor James Woods described as a "homoerotic" glamour cover, a few ideas for the covers of future issues, in a similar vein, have emerged (one of which isn't a parody, but an actual cover):

James Woods shreds ‘sh*t rag’ Rolling Stone, Jann Wenner’s ‘erotic fantasies’: ‘F*ck them both’

James Woods belts out on twitter what a lot of America thinks of Jann Wenner 

Could that disgusting piece of shit Wenner have picked a prettier cover shot of his dreamboat homoerotic fantasy? What an asshole...

""I remember telling him I thought certain aspects of religion were harmful, and I brought up the 9/11 attacks." 

At which point Jahar, Will says, told him he didn't want to talk about it anymore. Will asked why. "He said, 'Well, you're not going to like my view.' So I pressed him on it, and he said he felt some of those acts were justified because of what the U.S. does in other countries, and that they do it so frequently, dropping bombs all the time." 

To be fair, Will and others note, Jahar's perspective on U.S. foreign policy wasn't all that dissimilar from a lot of other people they knew. "In terms of politics, I'd say he's just as anti-American as the next guy in Cambridge"

That sounds about right. The Boston Marathon bomber's views on 9-11 weren't all that different from MIT's Noam Chomsky. 

His mother's views were more in line with lunatic 9-11 conspiracy theorist and "Independent Jewish Voices" founder Diana Ralph.

"During one facial session, she says, Zubeidat told her she believed 9/11 was a government plot to make Americans hate Muslims."

 

It turns out Robert Redford picked a bad time to release a movie glorifying domestic terrorists

You have to feel a little sorry for Robert Redford, don’t you?  He just released a feature film asking audiences to reconsider their harsh feelings about the Weather Underground, which set off bombs, killed police officers, and robbed banks for more than a decade of domestic terrorism, but who were just misunderstood people acting on their deeply-held beliefs about justice. Unfortunately for Redford, a couple of misunderstood kids did the same thing at the Boston Marathon ten days after the film opened. 

Canada's useful idiots of Jihad

Canadians are on their guard against the growing Islamist threat. After all, the last month alone brought the Boston Marathon bombing, and arrests in Canada of suspected Iranian-linked al-Qaeda bomb-plotters targeting Canada-US passenger train routes. Add to that, repeated stories of Islamist radicalism in Canadian neighborhoods and young Canadian Muslim terrorists abroad.

Against this backdrop, the last thing to be expected at this fraught time would be a public event in Canada's capital showcasing a radical Islamist, boasting a master of ceremonies from the tax-funded Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, involving a respected mental health foundation, and including the wife of the highest office-holder in the land. Nonetheless, this is what is being planned for Ottawa, this weekend.

US Secretary of State Kerry compares Boston Marathon victims to terrorists who died attacking Israeli forces

In Istanbul to help with rapprochement between Israel and Turkey following the rift caused by Israeli forces killing nine Turks who attacked them during the boarding of the Mavi Marmara. That ship was trying to break an Israeli arms embargo of Gaza and the dead activists, who attacked Israeli soldiers with knives and metal pipes, were members of the Turkish organization IHH which has been linked to a number of terror organizations including the Muslim Brotherhood.

Mr. Kerry said he understood the anger and frustration of those Turks who lost friends and family in the raid. Mr. Kerry, a former Massachusetts senator, said last week’s Boston Marathon bombings made him acutely aware of the emotions involved. 

“We have just been through the week of Boston, and I have deep feelings for what happens when you have violence, when something that happens when you lose people that are near and dear to you,” he said. “It affects the community; it affects the country. But going forward, you know, we have to find the best way to bring people together and undo these tensions and undo these stereotypes and try to make peace.”

Such comments may play into the Middle-eastern Muslim sense of perpetual victimhood and the propensity to blame others for their own wrongdoing, but it is also extremely dangerous. It validates extremism and terror and feeds into the moral relativist and Islamist concept that terrorists are victims of "oppression." Kerry's comments are disgraceful.

Liberal fears realized: Boston Marathon terrorists were foreign-born Muslims motivated by Islam

Police are on the hunt for the second living Boston Marathon terror suspect after a shootout that left one policeman dead along with one of the pair of brothers believed to have carried out the bombings.

In a realized nightmare scenario for cultural-relativists, the suspects are apparently motivated by Islamist ideology.

They arrived as refugees from the war in Chechnya, where Muslim separatists are in a fight against the Russian Federation, in which brutal tactics and terror are routine facets of the conflict.

But why take it out against innocents at the Boston Marathon? Because for Islamists, America, The Great Satan, is the enemy of Allah.

On the surface, the Tsamaev brothers should have been exemplary immigrants. Tamerlan, who died in the shootout,  was a Golden Gloves winner with a beautiful American girlfriend; his younger brother Dzhokhar was the recipient of a scholarship in 2011 to pursue higher education.

But the elder Tamerlan had a keen interest in the form of Islam that despises the west and all it stands for, as can be seen by his statements and the types of videos he favored on his YouTube channel.

The hypocrisy of cultural relativists regarding this tragedy has already become apparent. They have already tried to portray much of the concern as "Islamophobia" and bigotry. That would be true if the perpetrators happened to be Muslims motivated by a hatred of high taxes, or that they just find marathoners irritating. But all indications are that the motive was Islamist ideology and to bury one's head in the sane to ignore that is the same as asking for more such attacks.

In the coming days and weeks, there will be passionate arguments about what this all means. The usual suspects from all sides will be making familiar arguments. Cultural relativists will say these are  anomalies who in no way reflect the feelings of Muslims or represent Islam. On the other side, xenophobes and anti-Islam activists will use this as further proof of the allegedly monstrous nature of a tribal, desert religion which is incompatible with modernity and will call for a halt to all Muslim immigration.

And as usual, the best course lies somewhere in between.

Most Muslims are appalled at this development and despise terror of the kind perpetrated in Boston this week.

But Islam is a religion that has not undergone a reformation, and its preachers frequently adulate Jihad and violence against infidels. What makes maters worse is that some Muslim leaders lie outright about the type of preaching that goes on in many mosques. Obfuscation by groups like CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relation) with their My Jihad campaign designed to soft-peddle a pillar of Islamic faith that directs followers to kill in the name of their religion.

So how to reconcile western democracies with a majority of Muslims who are personally moderate, honest and reasonable with a religion which frequently manifests as viciously murderous?

It doesn't appear that anyone has yet come up with a working solution to this dilemma. While Muslim immigrants integrate well, many Muslim do not. They isolate themselves from the culture of their adopted homelands and encourage their co-religionists to do the same.

And for this, the real blame lies with mushy-headed, politically correct, multicultural western governments that do everything they can to facilitate Islamist isolation through "accommodation"  policies. Making matters worse, politicians covetous of ethnic votes will even kow-tow to Islamists who extol Jihad.

The fists step is for our leaders to start acting like leaders and tell the truth. It's not just terror that needs to be condemned but Islamism and what goes on in mosques that breeds a hatred that results in shredded flesh on our streets.

We should continue to offer the benefits of western society to those who come here to be a part of it. But that comes with a significant caveat. We must also need to make sure that immigrants come here to be like us, and not to make us like them. Or to kill us when they can't. If that means curtailing immigration from lands where our culture and beliefs are reviled, then it is something we should consider as a way of avoiding conflict. Because fueling the causes for conflict only increases the likelihood of more of them.

The Privilege of Not Belonging A theory of white racism against whites.

"White privilege is knowing that even if the bomber turns out to be white, no one will call for your group to be profiled as terrorists as a result, subjected to special screening or threatened with deportation," writes author Tim Wise. "White privilege is knowing that if this bomber turns out to be white, the United States government will not bomb whatever corn field or mountain town or stale suburb from which said bomber came, just to ensure that others like him or her don't get any ideas. And if he turns out to be a member of the Irish Republican Army we won't bomb Dublin. And if he's an Italian-American Catholic we won't bomb the Vatican."

We suppose it's necessary to point out that this is almost entirely bunk. There have been plenty of nonwhite mass murderers--among them Long Island Rail Road shooter Colin Ferguson (black), Beltway snipers John Muhammad and Lee Malvo (black and Muslim), Wisconsin mass shooter Chai Soua Vang (Laotian) and Virginia Tech's Seung-Hui Cho (Korean). None were treated as anything other than lone wolves, and it's been decades since America bombed either Laos or Korea.

It's true that Muslim terrorists are often "portrayed as representative of larger conspiracies, ideologies and religions that must be dealt with as systemic threats," but only because that portrayal is accurate. And many important media and other cultural voices go out of their way to argue that not all Muslims are terrorists (which is to their credit) and to play down Islamic terrorists' religious and ideological motives (which is not).

Tim Wise, to whom the article refers, is a race huckster whom the Toronto District School Board and Ontario`s Ministry of Education thought fit to bring in to deliver a keynote address at their `Futures` conference last year. He delivered the same sort of Marxist, `Critical Race Theory` idiocy that James Taranto referred to above.  But in Toronto, to a room filled with almost all Caucasian teachers, he received a prolonged standing ovation.
