Sniping

 

 

I can see why the BBC might find Islam attractive what with death for apostasy being a favoured way of dealing with critical ex-members of the cult.

Paxman is famously grumpy as he slowly grinds to a halt, and Paul Mason shows a distinct lack of loyalty as well…from The Spectator:

Former Newsnight correspondent Paul Mason seems rather happy to be free of Auntie, especially since the Scottish independence referendum campaign sent the establishment to panic stations: ‘Not since Iraq have I seen BBC News working at propaganda strength like this. So glad I’m out of there,’ he writes on his Facebook page, to the consternation of former colleagues. ‘It’s on my friends-only Facebook page so not meant as any great statement other than weariness,’ Mason tells Mr S, ‘it says what it says.’ Lucky, then that he is now at Channel Four News – that famed bastion of slant free news.

    There’s some top comments already.

    He really is the gift of the gob that keeps on giving.

    Must create a few clenched teeth back at the old place when their self-created Tartan despot starts targeting them, but then the buttocks too when one of their own weighs in agreeing with him.

    As with journo murders or jailings in the ME, usually there’s a pan-profession circling of wagons.

    Nice of the ex-Anger & Protests Ed of Newsnight to leave the whole edifice divided and exposed on this one.

    Just like that advert for global warming where they blew up kids in that classroom as they didn’t buy the lies. This from the nice, cuddly left as always

    It was quite fortunate for the BBC, that as the mass rapes and brutal murders of Christians in the ME and Africa were occurring, and a serious confrontation in Ukraine in progress, there was always the more pressing and world shaking news, the BBC needed to broadcast- the Oscar Pistorius trial.

    What is the BBC going to do now to deflect attention from Islam, now that the Pistorius show is coming to an end.

    Nothing braver that a fully-paid-off Lefty who can now turn turtle and bite the heel that he massaged all those years ago(well, a week is a long time in politics(Book of St Harold of Wilson 1968).
    Yet-like Miriam O Reilly…they`ll find their level once again…and like a rubber ball, will come bouncing back to Auntie Josefina Stalinova…or Beeb as her grandkids call her.
    The Left is full of these rainbow warriors and weekend rebels…

    Common theme across the Liberal-left rulers of Europe and America – beheading nothing to do with Islam. Or Muslims, apparently. They are all parroting the same lie, from Cameron, Obama, Hollande, they are scared witless of the people they have let in, and of being held to account. The Islamic State – ummm, you see is nothing to do with Islam. That is why women obediently wear those headscarves rather rthan toss ’em in the bin where they belong. The threat of violence, from men from the “Religion of Peace”.

      Have you wondered why?

        Perhaps it is because beheading was a common form of execution in Europe for hundreds of years? Also Christian Europe also doesn’t have the greatest record on murder for religious reasons.

        I do though wonder if the BBC would call those who burnt Protestants alive ‘militants’.

          But it wasn’t it was reserved for traitors and Kings
          the only time it was common was during the reign of terror

          ‘Also Christian Europe also doesn’t have the greatest record on murder for religious reasons. ‘

          And how many hundreds of years do you have to go back to make anything like a valid comparison with the scale of what is being done now, in the 21st century, in the name of Islam?

          Beheadings did take place in Europe, but they were the actions of the state or the local lord. The church was actually a sanctuary for those who were going to be beheaded, hung drawn and quartered, or other drastic punishment for stealing a loaf of bread, or some minor crime.

          In addition, even as the state exercised beheadings, it did not try to use the teachings or example of Jesus to justify its actions.

          The actions of the revolutionaries in the reign of terror was directed against Christianity and Christians – the Vendee genocide. The revolutionaries of France were atheist, the forerunners of the genocides committed by the communists in the 20th century.

      This is how the politically dangerous mindset of Beeboids (and of much of political class) operates:

      Beeboids may begin by having the wrong thoughts, such as:-

      ‘those people of the Islamic State, who are behaving like barbarians, say they are Muslims who are implementing Islamic principles.

      ‘-But we’d better show deference to Islamic interests on this to get the ‘politically correct’ version, which is, according to these Islamic interests, that the Islamic State is not Islamic, and that its adherents are not Muslims.

      ‘That’s convincing enough for we Beeboids: that’s the political line we’ll propagandise daily, from now on.’

      ‘And we must continue to strictly censor any counter-analysis, especially that which can be found at Jihadwatch’ –

    see here is the thing,i honestly dont think islam can be described as a religion anymore,more a cult,i watched a film last night on film 4 called the devil rides outs with peter fonda,great film,but the satanists in that film reminded so much of how the jihadists followers of islam behave in this orgy of murder,sexual slavery and multilation that we see happening to day that is reflected in that film,islam may of started of as a religion of peace, but for sure it has morphed into a satanic devil worshipping cult,that is just my opinion,you may agree or disagree,

    OTish, but as #indeyref sees snipe on snipe tear apart commentatordom left. left and left of centre right up to the wire, it pains one to see two of the BBC’s most stalwart gobs for hire simply not feeling the love and debating freedoms of speech as only a Salmond or Robinson can…
