Look at this passage: “there is such a thing as
self-restraint … but it shouldn't be the self-restraint of fear. Pamela Geller
is a bomb-thrower, but only a metaphorical, not a literal, one. That's the
difference between her and her enemies – and between civilization and
barbarism.” This is what Rich Lowry wrote; but he lacked the IQ to realize that
the notion he articulated was but a small part of a larger package he failed to
see. Or did he?
Lowry who is the editor of National Review Online (NRO),
wrote: “Americans Have a Right to Insult Islam,” and published it on May 5,
2015. The article discusses the events that took place in Texas when Pamela Geller staged an event
that motivated two young Muslim Americans who were so offended by the theme of
the event, they tried to attack it but were shot dead by a security guard hired
to protect the gathering.
Lowry makes the point that the difference between Geller and
her enemies is the same as that between civilization and barbarism. Well, there
is no denial that this linkage forms some kind of a package, but it is the
small package that diverts attention from the larger one – the massive package
that seems to have eluded Rich Lowry. Or did it?
It is surprising to see that the editor of a publication
which has carried numerous articles linking the expression of antisemitism with
violence done to the Jews, would fail to see that anti-Islamic expressions will
have the same effect on Muslims. And if it was good enough to muzzle the
“anti-Semites” for decades, it must be good enough to muzzle the anti-Muslims
now, or at least ask them to tone down their rhetoric ... rather that shout
they have the right to insult Islam as did Rich Lowry in his article.
But if this reality has (deliberately or absent-mindedly)
eluded the editor of NRO and those like him who publish and edit many of the
North American print and audio-visual publications, it could not have eluded
the Muslims who live on this continent, and those who live elsewhere in this
interconnected world.
When day after day, dozens of English articles and talk
shows carry the message that Islam is evil; and when night after night,
thousands of Muslims are murdered as they sleep in their homes, the young
Muslims who survive this Judeo-Christian killing orgy, are bound to take
matters in their own hands, and try to defend their kinfolks in any way they
can.
And if what these kids do can be called barbarism, what the
Judeo-Christian air forces do to provoke it must be seen as a million times
more barbaric. Logic and a little bit of intelligence should tell you that when
you have more than a billion and a half Muslims in the world, you cannot
destroy Iraq then relentlessly advocate the destruction of Iran, and not see a
few Muslim kids rise up and challenge those who bring a never ending stream of
holocausts to their families and their people.
Having wondered what it is that Rich Lowry lacked: a high
enough Intelligence Quotient or the necessary presence of mind, you now stumble
on a passage in the article which comes close to answering your question. Here
it is: “That prospect didn't stop CNN from interrogating Geller … The implicit
assumption was that Geller and her cohorts were as much of a problem as the
fanatics who planned to censor them at the barrel of a gun.”
Do you know what this is, my friend? It is the signature
that says: This is Jewish morality through and through. It began when Fox News
came on the air that a network started to push what it calls the “mainstream
media” to report on events the way that Fox News does: from the Jewish/Israeli
point of view. A number of publications, such as NRO (that used to be
mainstream) followed the advice and started, in turn, to push or at least
criticize the other outlets (such as CNN and the New York Times) for not being
Jewish enough … even though they are very Jewish already.
This being an odd thing to do in a place that calls itself
democratic, Lowry felt it necessary to turn reality upside down. He wrote: “In
today's circumstances, criticism of Islam is at the vanguard of the fight for
free speech.” No Rich; no Sir. You're all wet when you talk like that. Islam is
not at the vanguard of that fight; the Jews are now and have been for half a
century. And they have the power to shut you up that's a million times greater
than the power the Muslim kids could ever muster.
