The
Empire Strikes Back
JUNE 11, 2018 KIM DU TOIT BEHIND ENEMY
LINES, TERRORISM
That would be the Austro-Hungarian Empire, of course, or rather its
modern-day major components. Fresh on the heels of Hungary’s
Viktor
Orban causing trouble with the Muzzies in Budapest comes this news from
just over the border:
Austria’s right-wing government plans to shut down seven mosques and
expel up to 40 foreign-funded imams in crackdown against Islamist
ideology
I
love that the Austria’s (democratically-elected) government is branded
“far-right”, when a cursory examination of the parts of their platform
not to do with immigration reveals that they’re about equivalent to
centrist Democrats (if any such thing still exists) — i.e. closer to
the sainted John F. Kennedy’s political philosophy than to anything
truly rightwing. -Kim
Austria said today it could expel up to 60 Turkish-funded imams and
their families and would shut down seven mosques as part of a crackdown
on ‘political Islam’ that was described as ‘just the beginning’,
triggering fury in Ankara.
Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said the government is shutting a hardline
Turkish nationalist mosque in Vienna and dissolving a group called the
Arab Religious Community that runs six mosques.

Kim du Toit is 100% correct (as he almost always is.)
ReplyDeleteIt's quite remarkable that so many people who think of themselves as centrists, or maybe slightly to the right of the median, are being labelled "far-right" just because they disagree with the notion that everyone should leave their country's doors open to any thugs who may want to come in and commit crimes. That's the media for you, or as the Blogfather said, "Democrats with bylines."
I'm puzzled by the cartoon, though- usually Ramirez hits the ball out of the park, but I just don't understand this one. Bats flying out of a (mosque) belfry? Carrying something I can't make out? What does it all mean? Someone who gets it please help!
Big round of applause for leaders with brains and balls!!
