In America “Je suis Charlie” devolving to “Stand with the Prophet”

‘World leaders’ who responded like sharks to chum at the “Je suis Charlie” mass rally in Paris on Sunday soon returned to their offices to carry on with what they always do: forging the same lax immigration policies that allow the barbarians to get in through the gates and patently ignoring the inevitability of the next Islamic terrorist attack.

But before leaving Paris they had firmly planted in the minds of the throngs what they thought would live on as an indelible picture: World leaders and especially Western ones care--really care--about the horror of Islamist terrorism, even while still telling the great unwashed that only Islamaphobes identify Islamist terrorism as Islamist terrorism. ‘Look!” their Parisian pictures shout to the world, ‘We came rushing to the scene, n’est pas?’ ‘We linked arms with each other, jostled only a few moments for prime front line position, and went bravely on to lead the march for “Je Suis Charlie”.’ Was it really the fault of the leaders if public attention was naturally turned away from the 1million-plus people who took to the streets to mark what Pope Francis called “the tragic slayings” of 17 people after Islamist terrorists attacked the office of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and took people hostage in the Hyper Cacher kosher supermarket? Attention was focused on the 40 leaders whose pictures failed to prove that they were more Charlie than the public soul of the “Je Suis Charlie” movement. In all languages spoken among the grassroots people, what they did is called “stealing the show”. Knowing there was no guarantee that he would be the center of attention, Barack Hussein Obama took a pass, staying home to watch football games. Right there at the time of the mass rally, his Attorney General Eric Holder was a No Show, but days after the big event, Secretary of State John Kerry will mop up on any leftover publicity, by defending AWOL Americans en français.

Daily Mail scribe Richard Littlejohn, describing how the event “smacked of a synchronised selfie” and how it looked as if the leaders in attendance “were about to break in to the hokey-cokey‘, shows how some leaders remain true to form, no matter how tragic the circumstances:

“David Cameron managed to nab pole position, linking arms with the attractive blonde woman who runs Denmark. He does, of course, have previous with Helle Thorning-Schmidt, having muscled his way into a photograph she was taking of herself and Barack Obama at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service. Call Me Dave might have got away with one intimate photo draped around a fit blonde. Two starts to look like stalking, especially when it’s the same bird.”  “As for all those self-important EU leaders, it is their suicidal approach to mass immigration, their beloved human rights laws and their craven appeasement of firebrand preachers of hate which allows Islamist terrorism to flourish in the West,” Littlejohn wrote. “Just as I predicted on Friday, we have been told repeatedly that these atrocities are ‘nothing to do with Islam’. It was a couple of days before Cameron could even bring himself to utter the phrase ‘Islamist terrorists’. “Fear of being accused of ‘Islamophobia’ has prevented the authorities in Britain, at least, from robustly confronting the cancer in our midst.”

Will the flocking of 40 world leaders to the “Je Suis Charlie” rally curtail in any way, rampaging Islamic terrorism? “ISIS fighters attempting to retake a town in northern Iraq held by Kurdish peshmerga forces killed at least 30 Kurds, an Iraqi military spokesman said Sunday. (DailyStar, Jan 12. 2015) Obama’s no-boots-on-the-ground dictum proves that a months long airstrike campaign by a U.S.-led coalition hasn’t stopped the ability of ISIS to launch offensives in Iraq. That was the news on Sunday. By Monday hackers claiming allegiance to the Islamic State had taken full control of the social media accounts of the U.S. military’s Central Command, posting threatening messages and propaganda videos, along with some military documents. “The command’s Twitter and YouTube accounts were eventually taken offline, but not before a string of tweets and the release of military documents, some of which listed contact information for senior military personnel. A Centcom spokesman confirmed their accounts were “compromised,” and said later that the accounts have been taken offline while the incident is investigated more.” (Washington Post, Jan. 12, 2015) Within a week of the Paris rally, the chant has gone from “Je suis Charlie”, to the arrogant “Je suis Obama” all the way to: “Stand with the Prophet”. “Muslim leaders from across America will gather in Texas this weekend to hold the annual Stand With the Prophet in Honor and Respect conference, a weekend forum that is being billed as a "movement to defend Prophet Muhammad, his person, and his message," according to event information. (Washington Free Beacon, Jan. 12, 2015)

“The Saturday event, which seeks to combat "Islamaphobes in America" who have turned the Islamic Prophet Muhammad "into an object of hate," according to organizers, comes just a week after radicalized Islamists in France killed 17 people.” “Organizers of the event place the blame for Islam’s bad reputation on the media and so-called American Islamophobes who have "invested at least $160 million dollars to attack our Prophet and Islam," according to the conference web page."

Proof positive that nothing’s changed, and that politicians who preen for the cameras with linked arms at public rallies that more rightfully belong to the grieving grassroots do diddly-squat to stop Islamic terrorism. They only accelerate it.
