Catholic Archbishop of Mosul Captured By Terrorists

My Pet Jawa has the bad news.

Savages.

I can understand animals behaving as animals do. I have more trouble understanding how the rest of the world -- including "enlightened" Europe -- continues to treat these vicious monsters as if they're a legitimate resistance movement.

Kind of like proactive Gandhis.

Ace, you simpleton. Don't you understand the nuanced media position that it's the United States' fault that archbishop was kidnapped?If not for American warmongering, the Archbishop would be happily flying his kite and swinging in his playground swing, like the little girl in "F911."

It's awful how some people just don't get it, isn't it? A terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist.

On a similar note, I assume you are equally outraged that we allowed Mark Thatcher into the country this week without a second thought ?

Ah, this is a dog bites man kinda story. There's nothing new about Muslims persecuting Christians. That's why its going to fade away, just like the story of the family in New Jersey that got sliced up by these guys.
Oh, there'll be a splash if they find the poor bastard sans head, but nothing will come of it. Aside from Christians being purged from another Muslim country.
I wonder what 'd happen if the Chrisitians start purging back?

I'm outraged Adamant! No doubt Terry McAwful is bringing him here to engineer a coup! The bastards!

Ace, I think your "proactive Ghandi" quip is actually quite on the mark. That's how they see it - just one more "native son" doing his part to drive off the colonial regime.

The Euro's have a MASSIVE guilt complex (along with several others, I'm sure, but I'm not a psychiatrist). I think it blinds them to the realities on the ground.

Maybe this'll wake up the Vatican.

OK, fat chance, I know.

Posted by: someone on January 17, 2005 05:16 PM

Of course the Vatican will feel particularly aggrieved considering how strongly they have spoken out against terrorism in Ireland....oh, wait. No, scrub that.

Posted by: Adamant on January 17, 2005 05:32 PM

Iblis is right. This is dog bites man.

Christians are being purged throughout the Muslim word, as Jews have been. We can see the beginnings of it in Europe, which demographics will also soon make part of the Muslim world.

Nothing really happened as a result of the jihad-motivated slaughter of Theo Van Gogh. So if the Old Europeans don't object to this being done to themselves, why would they object to jihad actions being done to a brown native from one of those foreign countries they think even less of?

Old Europe is dying, Old Europe is dead. And the heart died first.

We don't have too much to sneer about. It could happen next in Sydney or New Jersey. Oh wait . . .

David Blue, get real. A majority of Dutch do object. Ever heard of Geert Wilders, member of the Dutch parliament, who was on Fox last week? Up to ten of the twelve jihad radicals connected to the Van Gogh slaughter have been arrested. The Dutch law has been changed since 9/11 to keep these freaks behind bars. Unfortunately, the suspected mastermind of this cell is still at large.

Check the news in Spain. More islam terrorist suspects are currently being captured than ETA terrorists. Check the news in Germany. They've actually ousted an imam out of the country based on his slander. Could the US do that if the imam would base himself on the right of Free Speech? I doubt it.

Bashing Europe is silly. It's the closest thing you have for an ally.

It is nothing short of miraculous that Archbishop Basile Georges Casmoussa was released. Many fully expected his head on a platter. But just as when Pope John Paul was shot by the KGB and recovered, this is a moment for joy, and to Praise God!

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.)
Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right.
As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller."
She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2:
Remember the bamboo from Part 1?

Do I ever! It's all I remember!
Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy.

We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations.
I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said.

A few blocks uptown, at a branch of the local independent chain McNally Jackson Books, a few volumes lay on a table of new and noteworthy nonfiction near the front of the store. No one was lining up to get them, or even browsing. Bookseller Alex Howe told CNN around 3 p.m. that though the store had procured "several dozen" copies, not a single one had yet sold -- a figure he said was surprising, considering how many people in media and publishing work in the area.

"We ordered a lot and so far, people have not been beating down the door," Howe said. "I'm not sure where we're gonna put them because right now, supply is outpacing demand." (A manager at McNally Jackson noted that Howe was speaking only in a personal capacity, not as a representative of the store.)

She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.

Incumbent Senator John Cornyn (RINO - TX) betrayed his party and his country by voting in favor Biden's Afghan resettlement bill in 2021. Cornyn voted to bring in the Afghan who shot two National Guard soldiers on US soil. A vote for Cornyn is an endorsement of importing unvetted, radicalized murderers. [Buck]
