Mid-Week Post

Eight more shopping days until Halloween...


More on today's shootings:

One thing that is missing from this article is Michael Zehaf-Bibeau's conversion to Islam:


I would say that is relevant given not only the nature and place of the attack but also that it took place two days after another convert, Martin Couture-Rouleau, ran down and killed Patrice Vincent, a warrant officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. Could it be that in their new fervour, these converts sought to prove themselves?

Why that is a fatal and unbelievably stupid mistake:



There are four reasons for the rise of the Muslim Suicide Convert. Muslim converts are gullible, fanatical, suicidal and expendable.



Let's start with the last one first. Muslims usually come from tribal cultures with extended family groups. Despite its claims of transnationalism and multiculturalism, Islam is an ethnic religion with the descendants of Mohammed elevated over everyone else, the families in the region of his first conquests elevated over other Arabs, Arabs elevated over non-Arabs, Asian Muslims over African Muslims and African Muslims over Western converts to Islam.



A convert to Islam is lowest on the totem pole because he has no family group. In a tribal society, not having a family connection makes you an outsider and expendable. A Muslim who Jihads himself to death creates a hole in the tribal network of arranged cousin marriages, illegal business arrangements and other extended family support structures. A Muslim convert was never part of the network unless he married into it. And even then he can easily be unplugged because he has no common ancestry with them.



In a Muslim country, he can be killed without having to pay blood price. In a Western country, he can be sent off to die without the "tribe" of Pakistanis or Egyptians who built the mosques and hired the Imams who converted him and convinced him to kill non-Muslims being affected by his death.



He is expendable.
 
Read the whole thing for some possible insight as to why Rouleau, Bibeau and others have damned themselves thus.

It is no accident that Islamism is responsible for violence around the globe and it is responsible for these two attacks on Canadian military personnel. There can be no denying that for to do so is insanity. There is also no flimsy basis on which to justify these acts of terrorism, no "root causes", and certainly there is no longer any reason why preventative and protective measures should not be taken to not only tackle Islamism in the popular culture but to stamp it out permanently. If police officers and military personnel are not supposed to wear identifying garb or be armed (as, sadly, Corporal Nathan Cirillo was not), then anyone and everyone is a defenseless target waiting to be taken out. What kind of security does Parliament Hill have anyway? Bibeau was taken out while in the House of Commons. How could he even have gotten that far and would he have had there been an armed presence and had the RCMP, which seized Bibeau's passport, acted before this rampage?

Unless Prime Minister Harper is willing to identify the source of this kind of terrorism and act, whether stopping immigration from Islamist countries or root out domestic terrorists, this day will just generate empty platitudes rather than concrete action that will keep Canadians safe.

Another reason for cynicism:

Ottawa’s police chief sent an email to some local community leaders, including one Muslim imam, to offer support and encourage communication following a series of shootings at Canada’s Parliament complex in Ottawa.

Um, why?

Were other religious communities contacted and so reassured? What about the population in general? No?

Once again, Ibn Warraq's words provide the explanation that can't be emphasised enough:
 
Most important, Ibn Warraq  describes the “mind-set” of most Muslims as intolerant, self-pitying, stagnant, and trained to blame others for their own failures. He also sees the Muslim “mind-set” as akin to that of people trapped in totalitarian regimes. The need to control thought and to sacrifice individuality characterizes both Islamic and Marxist regimes. Thus, we understand the affinity that Western “leftists” have with reactionary Islamists. Ibn Warraq contrasts this with a Western “mind-set” which is built upon Greco-Roman, Judeo-Christian, scientific, and Enlightenment foundations and is characterized by intellectual curiosity, genuine interest in the “other,” a sense of irony, the ability to engage in self-criticism, and a concern with finding the truth.
He does not view Western survival or success as due to historical imperialism, colonialism, or slavery:
The West has succeeded because of an insatiable curiosity that has fueled countless experiments and innovations. That is surely something to be proud of.

Moving on...


A woman is charged after the grisly discovery of six decomposed babies:

Police have charged a woman who was renting a storage locker where the remains of six babies were found, but they say it could be months before they know who the infants were or how they died.

Andrea Giesbrecht, 40, was arrested outside her home in north Winnipeg. Const. Eric Hofley said she faces six charges of concealing a body and one charge of breaching probation.

Giesbrecht has also used the name Andrea Naworynski.

Hofley said it will take an extensive forensic investigation to determine if she is related to the dead infants.

The state of the remains discovered Monday was such that police were initially unable to determine how many babies were in the locker. Their ages are still unknown, but they are believed to have been newborns, he said.

What a b!#ch.



Japan is sending officials to reclusive North Korea to keep up pressure for an investigation into the fate of its citizens kidnapped decades ago to train spies, the prime minister said on Wednesday.

Japan eased some sanctions on North Korea in July in return for the North reopening its probe into the status of the abduction victims and had expected an initial report by now.

But Pyongyang said last month there were no details to report and invited Japanese officials to visit for an update.

Jeffrey Fowle has been freed from a North Korean prison:

North Korea has released one of three American citizens detained in the communist nation, U.S. officials said Tuesday, a decision seen as a gesture of goodwill toward Washington amid stalled nuclear negotiations.

Jeffrey Edward Fowle, who had been detained since entering the North in late April, was on his way home after leaving the North, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. The 56-year-old had been accused of leaving a Bible in a hotel.

Fowle is one of three American citizens detained in the North. 

The two others are Matthew Todd Miller, who was sentenced to six years of hard labor for committing "hostile" acts after entering the North in April, and Kenneth Bae, a Korean-American missionary who was detained in late 2012 and has since been sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for unspecified anti-state crimes.

There is no "victory" if Kim Jong-Un isn't tried for crimes against humanity:



The good news is that for the first time in North Korea’s history, its rulers face a real risk of accountability for murdering or starving to death more than two million of their own people. In the short term, this raises little or no direct legal risk to Kim Jong Un and his courtiers. In the long-term, a global deliberation on Kim Jong Un’s responsibility for crimes against humanity could unite the world in pressuring North Korea to discard its malevolence, or alternatively, until its malevolent system ceases to exist.
