Damned Islamic radicals


Don’t you just hate religious radicals who think their god is the best god and everyone else should go away, convert, or die in a fire? They’re always trying to wipe out the unbelievers, murder the heathens even in their places of worship, and scream incoherent nonsense in the name of their lord. The worst, right?

With million of Syrians — about half of them children — trying to escape the radicals in their own country, America’s radicals have a nifty way to teach ’em the true meaning of American Exceptionalism: You are not welcome in America, except for if you love Jesus. Please “for example” us, Jeb Bush:
There are a lot of Christians in Syria that have no place now. They’ll be either executed or imprisoned, either by Assad or by ISIS. I think we should focus our efforts, as it relates to the refugees, on Christians that are being slaughtered.



This isn’t the first time Bush has said we should accept “every Christian Iraqi and every Christian Syrian” whose lives are threatened by “Islamic terrorism.” But how can we tell which refugees are the Christian kind, and which are the faking secret ISIS wanna-destroy-America-with-their-radical-Islam kind?
Well, we do that all the time. It takes almost a year for a refugee to be processed into the United States.




Ah, so we are capable of screening refugees to ensure Jesus is just all right with them, but gosh dang it to heck if we can screen for the non-terrorist Muslim refugees. And of course none of them would ever pretend to be Christian to sneak into America, although you know how those crafty Muslims are, pretending to believe theirs is a religion of peace, when really they are just joshing us and coming to kill us all. Not that this is about religion, mind you:
This is not a question of religion. This is a political ideology that has co-opted a religion.

Algerian War

"The so-called Harkis, from the Algerian-Arabic dialect word harki (soldier), were indigenous Muslim Algerians (as opposed to European-descended Catholics or indigenous Algerian Mizrachi Sephardi Jews) who fought as auxiliaries on the French side. Some of these were veterans of the Free French Forces who participated in the liberation of France during World War II or in the Indochina War. The term also came to include civilian indigenous Algerians who supported a French Algeria. According to French government figures, there were 236,000 Algerian Muslims serving in the French Army in 1962 (four times more than in the FLN), either in regular units (Spahis and Tirailleurs) or as irregulars (harkis and moghaznis). Some estimates suggest that, with their families, the indigenous Muslim loyalists may have numbered as many as 1 million.

In 1962, around 91,000 Harkis took refuge in France, despite French government policy against this. Pierre Messmer, Minister of the Armies, and Louis Joxe, Minister for Algerian Affairs, gave orders to this effect. The Harkis were seen as traitors by many Algerians, and many of those who stayed behind suffered severe reprisals after independence. French historians estimate that somewhere between 50,000 and 150,000 Harkis and members of their families were killed by the FLN or by lynch mobs in Algeria, often in atrocious circumstances or after torture. The abandonment of the "Harkis" both in terms of non-recognition of those who died defending a French Algeria and the neglect of those who escaped to France, remains an issue that France has not fully resolved—although the government of Jacques Chirac made efforts to give recognition to the suffering of these former allies."
