An insightful and devastatingly accurate picture of Judenhaas-filled Europe from Mark Steyn.
I must say it's quite artful the way he weaves together the related threads of pathological Jew-hatred that are found in Europe today (as they always were).
A friend of mine used to say that the far left and the far right meet at Jew Hate Junction.
How true.
Steynian understatement of the year (And I'm seriously keeling over about the phrase 'restive Muslim populations' - I mean for real and not for joking, OMG could you not just die?!?!?)
"At one level, it's a form of displacement. Britain, France and other
countries are Islamizing fast, and native hedonists and their restive
Muslim populations have profound disagreements on where their societies
are headed: The post-Christian Euro-left think they've built a secular
society where gay marriage and gender fluidity are to be celebrated;
significant percentages of young Muslims want to live under Sharia and
believe apostasy should be punishable by death. Reconciling these
conflicting visions will prove tricky."
YA THINK?!?!??!
And then this utter MARKSTERPIECE:
"Ethnic Europeans and excitable young Muslims [Ed. note: HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA] don't agree on gays or
women's rights or bacon butties or clitoridectomies or Page Three girls
or cousin marriage, but they do agree that, in the famous words of the
late Daniel Bernard, French Ambassador to the Court of St James's, "all
the current troubles of the world are because of that shitty little
country Israel".
(I'm dumbfounded by these two simply brilliant paragraphs and Steyn's gift for moral clarity, his devastating aim and fortitude. Seriously, my mouth is pretty much gaping open in this kind of HUH/DUH HOW DOES HE DO THAT kind of pose. It's not very attractive, and I'm not particularly proud of it, but you'll keep that between us, right?!??!)
I may have to frame that second paragraph.
Is it wrong that I'm kind of in love with it?
DON'T ANSWER THAT.
Do not, and I mean, do not EVER, EVER EVAH EVAH EVAH, harsh my SteynBuzz, mmmkay?
(P.S Jew haters can go f&ck themselves. Am Yisrael Chai!)
Do read the whole thing.
