Re: Is PEGIDA a racist movement pretending not to be?
No, it violates nothing. The only thing that gets violated is our human spirit and human morality when we work with people who are racists. Again, the enemy of my enemy tactic usually does not work (if ever). History has taught us that.
We loose our humanity if we work with forces that defy and violate human rights on a daily basis, like racists do.
Sorry, but this has nothing to do with left or right, it has to do with not making our situation worse by working with racists. We all dislike jihadists, but I hate racists just as much.
Baloney. I realize it violates a leftist shibboleth to note this, but no attitude of anyone in the West had a damned thing to do with creating Muslim jihadism. It is a violent, supremacist creed that is rooted in the most orthodox texts of Islam, including the Koran. Civilized people are not to blame for the savagery these filthy sons of bitches engage in, any more than a woman is to blame for being raped because she wore a short skirt.
Next you'll be telling us that Hassan al-Banna's Muslim Brotherhood fomented riots and murdered Jews and Westerners in Cairo at the end of World War II because some Jew made a face at one of them and made him feel all icky, or that in the 1940's Ruhollah Khomeini and Mohammed Navab-Safavi organized their "Soldiers of Allah" to murder people because some mean racist made them feel invalidated.
I could not care less what any Muslim anywhere likes or does not like. If Europeans want to be the Islamists' butt boys, that's their business.
