A few years back when first I had a chance to see the bragsheet on Pope Francis, I voiced some concerns about his political naiveté. The man seemed to have avoided any education in economics, finance, governance, and what social mechanisms actually generate the wealth that he’s so keen on redistributing. His speeches and writings give ample evidence of that. Today he is giggling it up with one of the world’s big killers and leading promoters/sponsors of theocratic Islamism through global terror.
Someone should tell the guy with the white beany what President Rouhani of the Islamic Republic of Iran has done, is doing today, and planning for us tomorrow now that we’ve shoved tens of billions of dollars in his shorts and removed economic sanctions to pump up Iran’s anti-western economy. They should slip in a news article or two about Islam’s killing of Christians in their lands, and maybe even inform His Holiness about Islam’s well publicized plans for the infidels of Christendom.
I was hoping that the meeting may have generated some more serious photo-ops to reflect equivalent discussions with the reprobate raghead.
[28jan16 update] I call your attention to this morning’s (28jan16) WSJ column ‘The Humbling of the West’ by deputy editorial editor and national columnist Daniel Henninger. He echoes not only my above sentiments but also the years’ long interpretation in these pages of the growing war between civilizations. What the informed reader should continue to find remarkable is the narrow field of focus that the Left brings to bear on Islam’s and particularly the Islamists’ advance in the world.
These benighted people, welcomed and well-represented in RR comment streams, continue to show their breathless ignorance of geo-strategic events. They draw great comfort from repeating their well-learned and baseless mantras about the equivalence of Christianity and Islam in their world views, scriptural dictates, existential practices, and the minds of their respective ‘moderates’. In the latter one needs only observe the silence of Islam’s sheeple in response to the daily (hourly?) atrocities their brethren carry out. The west is betting the ranch that these Muslims will quietly follow whichever ayatollah can muster enough fanatical guns and knives to enforce their compliance. The Mideast overflows with examples of such transforming governance that Obama has unleashed on an already cowering Europe.
Rouhani has every reason to smile as he accepts the obeisances of Europe. Through his mind echoes Lenin’s famous ‘these capitalists will gladly sell us the very rope with which we will hang them.’
Henninger points out the lengths to which European civic, religious, and business leaders are going to kowtow during the Iranian president’s triumphal progress through lands which have for a millennium been Islam’s prime target for conquest (actually two millennia if you consider what the Persians have had in their sights). The above photo from Henninger’s piece gives stark evidence of the west’s self-depredation, showing classic western art in the form of nude statuary in the Vatican that has been covered so as not to offend the raghead of ragheads during his tour of the museum. Misplaced humility apparently knows no depth in the progressive western mind as it welcomes its self-declared colonists cum conquerors.
