Here’s a post by my friend over at The Pilgrim Underground about the Charlie Hebdo Murders: I am not Charlie
Check it out for yourself. He makes good points about how the media ignores other massacres and deaths because of general propagandist reasons. The deaths were bad and the murderers evil, but the coverage is skewed. Why is it funny and acceptable to insult and ridicule Muslims, but not all peoples? Why are some jokes funny, and others off-limits? Many christic-Americanists will snort at anyone getting upset at a cartoon. But then what happens when an American flag is burned?
To conclude, here is my comment I left on the post:
—
I end up seeing bits and pieces of “Fox & Friends”, which is truly abysmal. However, I remember them freaking out when Chris Rock made jokes involving September 11th. They were highly critical and considered him classless and unAmerican (which is almost a denial of humanity for them). Then months later Charlie Hebdo happens…How dare these Muslims? Free speech is free speech, you can insult anyone and no one should be hurt!
At the end of the day, as Al-Jazeera points out (to their own criticism), there is an anti-Muslim sentiment that is rampant. We obsess over the specter of ISIS when more beheadings and murders and cult-like activity happens in Mexico with the Cartel’s steady advance of influence and the increasing worship of Santa Muerta. How many Americans are concerned? None, because the Cartels will not be a serious competitor to the religion of Americana. ISIS is in the way of our global political dreams, the Cartel can be bought off.
Really, as it has always been, it’s a war of the gods. Like the worship of Roma and the Caesars, you can worship any gods as long as it is within the shrine of America. Allah, and ISIS, threatens that existentially. Sadly Christians, by and large, have forsaken Christ, and built their own Jeroboam-esque altar in Washington.
Not to sound Hegelian, but Islam is the anti-thesis to the Paganism of RomAmerica. The war is a battle over liturgy in the worship of Death. It’s this clash of beasts that the faithful live beneath and continue to spread the Gospel, the Victory of Christ and end of all beasts and demons, yea, even death.
Je Suis Christien,
