Some Post-Mortem Justice For Aqsa

~ ITEM: Aqsa Parvez Murdering Father and Brother Plead Guilty in Islamic Honor Killing; ‘I killed my daughter. . . with my hands’.. Domineering father and son plead guilty to strangling rebellious teenager

~ ITEM: Memorial University Psychiatrist: “Honor killings” on rise in Canada

~ ITEM: Whether Canadian judges should give those who commit “honour” killings a break to help the Caliphate

~ ITEM: Montreal Mom Machetes Daughter: “Honor Killing” Thwarted

~ ITEM: College Kids Giving Up the Hook Up Culture

~ FINALLY, Islamo-murdered teen Aqsa Parvez has some justice.

Despite what both secularists and militant Muslims assert, the Western legal tradition is grounded in God, reason, and due process. Secularists would divorce religion and law; Muslim Brotherhood types would collapse law into religion.

Law must be grounded in the divine if it is to accord with justice, the will of God, and human dignity and freedom; yet it must accord with law and the built-up common law of precedent and principle if it is to be free of tyrants, the whim of mobs, and arbitrariness.

Hidden Slaves of Allah

In the case of hundreds of thousands of Muslim women living in sharia-zones in the Western world– including Canada– they are victims of Islamic supremacism, even though they live in a nation with laws and rights. Militants Muslims who consider the West evil, her laws infidel and inherently illegitimate, her freedoms mere chaos and anarchy– must refuse to integrate, according to their assumptions.

It’s good that Aqsa’s father and brother are facing serious jail-time, possibly without parole, for a so-called honour-killing. Far better if Aqsa still lived, and if Canada– like Germany and the UK– took the issues of forced marriage and honour killing seriously, and had resources available for the daughters of Muslim families who are at risk of abuse, violence, and murder.

Far better still if the mutated Muslim Brotherhood version of a twisted and woman-dominating religion founded by a man with a taste for children and concubines and slave-girls were not allowed to dominate 500 million women around the world. Aqsa is another victim of Muhammed.

Physician, Heal Thyself

Sadly, in our Western confusions, the social chaos of the last century does mean that our freedoms can tend to anarchy, our families tend to disintegration, and our adult-produced youth-culture tend to hook-ups and degradation and disease. Never mind Muslims criticizing us from the outside– our own best moral and legal and spiritual inheritance already judges us, whether we like it or not. Slavery, blood, and consequences pile up.

We have squandered the moral and spiritual inheritance of Western civilization over the past 100 years: whether we end up in dictatorship, chaos, or being conquered, the signs are all around us. But that’s our business– their insistence on submitting and judging us according to sharia is a case of not minding their own business, or the poverty, ignorance, and tyranny in their own home-countries.

In any case, thankfully the politically correct justice system in Canada– while it does not punish terrorists or would-be terrorists seriously, does still consider violence and repression of women as a bad thing.

Aqsa deserved it, and more– as do all future victims of the same in Canada and around the world. ~

A Parade Of Disneytutes

: A Girl & One Of Her Exploiters

~ ITEM: ABC Pulls Ads From Perez Hilton Following Miley Cyrus Upskirt Photo

~ THAT MILEY CYRUS is another in the line of Britney-Lindsay-Hillary Disney & Parent-exploited young women is hardly a surprise, given the general fate of child-stars since the advent of Hollywood and pop music. Can you say Joe Jackson?

With the Disney tarts, it’s how we roll: productize a young virgin, sell sell sell, buy buy buy… and ignore the burnout wreckage in the glittery glow of the newest Disney sacrifice. Shame on the parents, and on Disney, and on all of us for buying into it.

Cha-Chingggg

The truth leaked out on Miley a while back when her one-hit-wonder Dad/ manager/ pimp Billy Ray Cyrus let a controversial photog take grown-up pictures of the young lady for a magazine. Lotsa apologies and explanations ensued, but it all boils down to marketable talented girl as super-exploited product, headed for burnout, then leftover/ gossip mag cover. How sad to exploit fatherhood and a daughter’s love and desire to please into a business.

Indeed, such famehood is the highest good some people can imagine these days– witness the would-be stars crowding YouTube.. no thanks. That’s why I’m Teh Binks– partly for security, partly for privacy, but mostly because INAM. It’s Not About Me— in the real universe, and online, and in my own work and life. It’s not really about any of us, no matter our wealth or fame or qualities or lack thereof.

The Real Question

Long ago, Jesus put the matter simply– “What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world, but to lose his soul?” What price Britney? Lindsay? Hillary? Miley? Are we our brother, our sister’s keeper? Are they not souls of infinite worth to their heavenly father, first and foremost?

Pray for the famous, especially the young, for their souls hang in the balance, and they are in the midst of a battle, and very many and great temptations. ~

Signs Of The Times

Rosett– “Whatever the final shape of history’s arc, right now it is bending toward an Iranian nuclear bomb, and a rising Iranian-centred axis of trouble that extends not only to Syria, Venezuela and North Korea, but to Turkey and Brazil (with China and Russia arranging for their cut of the action).”

~ ITEM: Victor Davis Hanson– Our incoherent foreign policy

~ ITEM: And Now, Ahmadinejad Goes to Istanbul; Iran Now Has Fuel for 2 Nuclear Weapons

~ LIKE SO MANY DANDELION seeds aloft, trying to keep track of all the big and little schemes and crises and Obama plans and Jihadi dreams and economic cracks in the West are impossible to keep in view.

Thankfully, despite the lunacies of the chattering and professorial classes, teh interwebs expose us to a wide range of wise, worthwhile, interesting, and informative voices. That’s why– despite my own opinions– I sort through and link to good sites, because so much of the whirlwind besetting us today is crisis overload mixed with info overload.

Party Polarities

The other problem I see is polarization– news and views over-filtered through political loyalties. For this news-digester, the Right– as a minority media voice– tends to fact-checking and a little less Leftolatrous ideology. Team-loyalty should never trump the love of truth, fairness, and remembrance that no matter how unlovable, tyrannous or blinkered, our opponents are still humans, to be won to a better way, or passionately opposed without dehumanizing them.

There are many and serious things unfolding in our world; things are not always as they seem; the evil in us and others is ever active; and yet if we seek to know and love in the midst of our wars and confusions, we shall at least leave the world better and brighter than we found it.

Utopians and Jihadists and all the other orcs are ever-busy: it is their religion, and their hope. Therefore, may all true men and women of the West be vigilant, alive, joyful, and deadly serious. For we are– even as in World War II– in the midst of a fight for the future of all we hold dear. ~

Duns Scotus Ad Roma

: Caravaggio: The Martyrdom Of St. Peter

~ ITEM: “How did the Roman Catholic Church maintain its grip on European hearts and minds for so long?”

~ ITEM: Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting the Toledo Museum of Art, and I only wish I had visited the place earlier

~ ITEM: Nova Scotia Scott; Magic Statistics Blog (his first blog)

~ SOMETIME-BLOGGER NS-Scott & his Spoose Judy are back from weeks cavorting through Italy, including time with the Shroud of Turin, during this year’s special exhibition.

He noted the 2000+ year span of art, architecture, Christian sites, and amazing world-class sites all over the place in Italy– products of a Christian and Western culture, of good things created and enduring in fame because of their transcendent and innate power, beauty, and meaning.

Each cathedral, statue, painting, is a captivating reminder of better things, and an invitation to the mind & soul to awaken to beauty, goodness, and truth. Because the mind and soul live, we can reawaken to good things at surprising times and unexpected ways. As Scott said as we conversed on his trip, simply remove Christianity from Western arts & music, and there’s not much left.

That’s perhaps one reason why the Communists and Ottomans and Taliban-types liked wrecking-balls so much. To erase beauty, competing thoughts, any wrongthink.

I’ve written before on the importance of beauty and good books and culture as the things which feed the soul. Culture-wars are not the same thing as feeding on those good things; endless battlings dry up the soul of even the happiest of warriors, if time is not taken to enjoy, ponder, pass on the treasures which belong to us, and which utopians and Jihadists would erase– and with it, attempt to mutate and destroy human nature itself. ~

Leftard Jew-Hating

~ ITEM: Stanford political scientist Neil Malhotra and Columbia University’s Yotam Margalit recently conducted a study intended in part to “determine how anti-Semitic sentiments might relate to the ongoing financial crisis.”

~ ITEM: Glavin– “Something wholly new is emerging in Canada, in all the spaces where the Left used to be, in its activist constituencies, its traditional institutions, and its lexicon. Whatever name you want to give the thing, its noticeable features include a betrayal of progressive internationalism, a pathetic weakness for conspiracy theories, and a routine apologetics for antisemitism and terror”

~ ITEM: Weathering the approaching storm

~ ITEM: Fun With Racist Tricks– “the new anti-Semites cloak themselves in aggrieved counterclaims that supporters of Israel just seek to stifle legitimate debate about Israel“

~ ODDLY ENOUGH, THE ENDLESS Lefty bashing of Nazism (as opposed to Commie-murderer loving) may have precipitated keeping the idea of “The Jews DidIt’ and “The JewsDeserveIt” in front of pop culture, and conspiracy theorists. That and the Nazi & Islamic roots of modern Middle Eastern Jew-hating fevers.

Whatever the source (and official human-rights Jewdom does bear some blame), the tide of ‘acceptable’ Jew-hatred seems to be rising, or at least coming to light again. And guess what?.. as with racism in the U.S., the Left & Democrats are in the lead.

In the politically incorrect re-writes of history, the Left are the nice guys who fight the tide of racist homophobic anti-semitic Rightwingness. In reality, the political left (socialist Germans or Lefter than Left Bolsheviks) and the Southern racist Democrats were the ones with blood on their hands and hate on their side. Retroactively, all the bad was put on the account of the Right, and the endless sermons of blaming the Right as the font of all evils ensued.

As this commentary has noted before, the Left & Islamism see many things eye-to-eye, not least Jew-bashing and the Protocols of the Elders Of Florida stuff. The rising tide of the oldest hatred is all around us in this already ugly century and millennium, and all Jews and their supporters and friends and supporters of Israel do well to keep an eye out for haters, and violence, and ugliness.. and be prepared for the politically correct police and authority to look away and do nothing. ~

Bang Bang, You’re Alive!

~ ITEM: Insty get yer gun: Instapundit reveals at what point he will haul out his guns. I happen to agree with him about the “signal” and what it would mean. And I say get your guns while you can.

~ ITEM: Did Kagan Compare the NRA with the KKK?

~ READY, AIM.. As a Bible-clinging bitter conservative gun-nut, I do think there are good reasons for families to be armed and trained in the use of same, self-defense but one.

Ultimately, freedom is not something given by others, or bestowed by government, but a gift of God, and taken in hand by our own willingness to fight and if need die to protect freedom and free societies– as well as free homes and communities.

Never let a crisis go to waste says Obama– and you know he wishes he didn’t have to pretend to go through the motions of American constitutional government to do his will and imposer his utopia. And in Canada, a pair of useless opposition parties and a Canadian tax-tit “Separatist” party let Canadian Tories rule in a rather high-handed way– since a weak opposition can be the prelude to a downgrading of democratic freedom.

A Gun Is…

A gun is a tool, not a toy– and the fact that Americans have been buying up .45ACP ammo and guns and all the rest shows that they recognize the threat to American freedoms posed by the ruling classes in Washington, whatever the party. The threat of gun-hating socialist lesbian Elena “NRA=KKK” Kagan as Obama’s latest offering to sit in the Supreme Court should alarm all freedom-loving Americans.

Canadians are more peaceable, and I sometimes wonder if we recognize the economic and political freedoms we’ve already surrendered in the last 75 years, let alone in the last 25. A disarmed populace is a passive and dependent one. Connecting criminal use of guns with law-abiding trained firearm use is political gamesmanship aimed at infantilizing us ever more in the cradle-to-grave nanny-state we have demanded and our elites have provided using our wealth.

Just sayin’ is all. ~

Denzel Does Right

~ ITEM: The Book of Eli Movie

~ POST-APOCALYPTISTAN— in another movie. But Mad Max this isn’t. Back in the day, one of those post-nuclear war movies mad for TV had a scene of a partially wrecked church with a pastor and a few people in the pews going on in an ineffectual manner about God’s comfort or something. The message was clear– end of the world? Where’s your God now? Duh, stupid Christians.

I always thought that sort of neener-neener despair was unfair as an account of what the Gospel is, how it transforms people, and– indeed– how Christians actually operate in the face of disaster and need. Welcome to a better take.

It’s post-Apocalyptistan, and Eli is a walker headed west, bearing a message from The Time Before (the end of the world as we know it).. the last Bible. Thankfully the movie is un-preachy and hard-hitting and the performances (including Gary Oldman as the antagonist) are well-done. That is: it’s a movie and a great story first, not an apologetic thinly clad in a script.

As C.S. Lewis once put it, the redeeming of culture and society comes not only through explicitly ‘Christian’ art and movies and books, but through serious Christians doing their best in whatever fields they find themselves, and redeeming the good things there.

For example, Christian music should be good music first, not either (a) rewarmed pop, or (2) bad music with religiously correct lyrics. Sincerity does not cover a multitude of musical or lyrical sins.

Denzel Washington is a Christian himself, and so is his character of Eli in the powerful hit movie The Book Of Eli. If this doesn’t get Denzel an Oscar, it’s because Hollywood doesn’t want to get it, and hates deliberate religiousity, even when done right, and very very well.

Rent, buy, and enjoy. ~
