Flood Of Comments

The previous entry on the Daily Mail article triggered more comments than I can post. The comments being withheld (besides those that have vulgarities)are in French and deal with a French historian named Paul-Eric Blanrue who admitted in 2009 that he had converted to Islam. He gave an interview to an Algerian reporter named Rachid Guedjal that is posted at an Algerian website.

I am providing the link above for those who read French. I do not have time to translate it right now. Blanrue reveals himself to be an historian of persuasive rhetoric, twisted, pathological and disloyal, but persuasive to those who are either ignorant or predisposed to destroying their civilization. He holds the "Zionists" as responsible for the ills befalling us, he returns to the idea of the Jewish blood libel, he sees no reason why Catholicism should not meld with Islam, in order to recapture its spiritual roots. He claims that Islam is necessary today to abolish the materialistic Zionist society that has destroyed Christianity and he compares the Muslim presence as comparable to Jesus cleansing the Temple.

And that is only the tip of the iceberg.

He claims that the French are being primed to fear Islam so that Marine Le Pen will get to the second round. Then she will be duly demolished and Sarkozy and the Zionists will continue to take over. This may not be entirely without foundation, if you change the word "Zionists" to "multiculturalists, or "Masons", or "liberals, in the American sense" or just plain "destroyers of civilization" - the D.O.C's, as I used to call my colleagues when I was teaching.

If I can find the time I will translate it because it is an excellent example of a person who connects the dots so as to make Jews the incarnation of Evil and Muslims the saviors. Islam could not have asked for a more eloquent patsy.

This is also a reminder that history is often wasted on the historians.
