WESTOPHOBIA?

Comment received from Larwyn below -- finding a common thread in some recent reports. Her links are very up-to-date and worth following:

Dr Sanity would like to call what Islam preaches daily to their masses, the hatred and fear of the West A SERIOUS CASE OF WESTOPHOBIA. I would be happy if we would finally call it something to counter "Islamophobia", if Infidelophobia or Kaffirophobia won't do, Westophobia is fine with me, with this one disclaimer: Westophobia can't really be used to only label Islamists, it encompasses every sect and ideology who hates Western civilization. The LEFTISTS suffer from Westophobia and Condi's getting a case of it, trying to talk the vibrant capitalistic democracy of Israel into an appeasement of the thugs of Palestine, Syria, Lebanon and therefore, also Iran.

What other than Westophobia can explain the gnashing of teeth and tearing of hair by the left over the Jose Padilla Conviction? For Le Monde -- Al Jazeera on the Seine -- "Jose Padilla's guilty verdict symbolizes the excesses of America's war on terror."

Had certain parties in our State Dept and Media not suffered from Westophobia, the wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq would have been handled quite differently with some real "excesses" of America's power. Too worried about the Arab Street , who hate us anyway, Powell & Armitage allowed Turkey to deny us our assault route down from the North via Turkey, who the ADL does not wish to offend by calling the genocide of the Armenians, genocide. Of course, 80% of ADL members probably vote for Dems, which proves their self hate. Has to be self-hate when a people make decisions to fight a war with Rules of Engagement that give all the benefits to the enemy.

So the big question now, will Westophobia, this self hate, influence G. W. Bush to become LBJ in planning the bombing of Iran? That's what SANE is asking, that's what Pierre is asking. That's what this cadre of "where do we find such men" are probably wondering, as they deal with the many, who should long ago have felt our full wrath -- those responsible for Defeating the enemy at Donkey Island near Ramadi

And what is an even greater proof of the rampant Westophobia than the Bestialization of Intelligence and Lost Posterity as we build monuments to our enemies. Some get it Burnett Sr: "Withhold my son's name from 9/11 Islamic Memorial"

And some wish to hurry our destruction by any means: Global Warming Litigation Planned By Blue States, even though the climate alarmists were wrong before

They would burden us with taxes for Socialized Medicine the Hillary Way and even Soviet Sanitarium Redux.

No wonder we're confused and some think Hurricane DEAN is God's Wrath against Bush

The airheaded John Edwards, a would-be President, did not even know that Cuba's healthcare system is government-run! It seems that he is even more of an empty vessel than Obama. No wonder his wife so often has to speak for him. But facts never do matter to Leftists. They just KNOW what should be done.

The Associated Press has a crazy Leftist fantasy story about U.S. police being unable to get enough ammo because it is all being used in Iraq! Have these guys no idea about how the market works? The whole fantasy is amusingly debunked here

Blind man wins case after Muslim cabbie refused dog: "A blind man denied service from a Muslim taxi driver for "religious reasons" has been awarded $2,500, the result of a B.C. Human Rights Tribunal discrimination settlement reached on Friday and made public yesterday. It was cold outside, and raining. Mr. Gilmour was attempting to return home after spending time with two friends at a West Vancouver coffee shop. A taxi was called. On arrival, the driver would not allow Mr. Gilmour's golden retriever, Arden, into the car. An argument ensued and the cabbie then drove off, without his two passengers. Mr. Gilmour complained to North Shore Taxi the next day. He was told that the driver's Muslim faith prohibits him from associating with dogs, hence his refusal to provide service. Mr. Gilmour decided to fight back. He hired a lawyer, himself a Muslim, and filed a formal complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal, alleging discrimination. The tribunal was to hear Mr. Gilmour's case on Monday; however, a settlement was reached last week with Mr. Saidy and his taxi company."

Deadly British bureaucratic bungling: "Emergency services were expected to begin a search this morning for two people still missing after a fire erupted in a Cornish hotel. The fire has already claimed the life of a man who tried to escape by jumping from the third or fourth floor of the Penhallow Hotel, in Newquay. Anybody left in the rubble would have little chance of survival, police said. As the rubble of the hotel smouldered yesterday, the Fire Brigade faced criticism that firefighters were hindered by a 90-minute wait while vital equipment arrived from Plymouth, more than 50 miles away. The fire spread at devastating speed in the early hours of Saturday as firefighters waited for an aerial ladder platform. Both Newquay and Truro, 15 miles away, possess the equipment but both were under repair."

Anti-Israel "Greens": "Young "climate change protesters" attacked an Israeli warehouse yesterday near the Heathrow Airport outside of London where they are campaigning against Heathrow's planned expansion. They took down the Israeli flag at the warehouse... And... They hoisted the Palestinian flag. It was part of their protest against carbon emissions(?)"

"Why should the German be interested in the liberation of the Jew, if the Jew is not interested in the liberation of the German?... We recognize in Judaism, therefore, a general anti-social element of the present time... In the final analysis, the emancipation of the Jews is the emancipation of mankind from Judaism.... Indeed, in North America, the practical domination of Judaism over the Christian world has achieved as its unambiguous and normal expression that the preaching of the Gospel itself and the Christian ministry have become articles of trade... Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist". Who said that? Hitler? No. It was Karl Marx. See also here and here and here.

The Big Lie of the late 20th century was that Nazism was Rightist. It was in fact typical of the Leftism of its day. It was only to the Right of Stalin's Communism. The very word "Nazi" is a German abbreviation for "National Socialist" (Nationalsozialistisch) and the full name of Hitler's political party (translated) was "The National Socialist German Workers' Party".
