Peace Explodes in New York

When is an IED in a crowded civilian area, that exploded injuring 29 people, not an act of terrorism? When New York's Mayor, Bill Dhimmi de Blasio says it's not. And how could it be, when Islam's a religion of peace and Islam might, by some weird stretch of the imagination, be implicated.

Aftermath of a Peace Bomb

Here's what ISIS says about the peace explosion, at least on social media:

“The lions of the Caliphate roar in New York, we cause you pain inside your house, the carrier of the Cross,” wrote one Twitter user who went by the name “I am ISIS, come and block me.” The account was soon suspended. Another, called “The Lone Wolves,” tweeted with the Arabic hashtag #ExplosionManhattanNewYork “Oh God burn America, take revenge in the name of your oppressed slaves and believers’ blood.”

Spreading Peace in Minnesota

Nothing quite like a peace bomb, eh? Not to be outdone, another soldier of the Peace God cooked off in Minnesota, hacking at people in a mall with a machete. In the meanwhile, German women are being urged to wear hijabs, you know, just in case they provoke some peace.

But what about the Pope, the "carrier of the Cross" himself? He's telling us that the way to bring more peace out of the religion of peace is to invite more followers of the religion of peace into what they ironically call the "House of War."

The Papal Flag

That means, presumably, that the Reconquista, Charles Martel, Don Juan and the sailors of Lepanto, the Poles at the siege of Vienna, the Knights of Malta and the doomed defendants of Constantinople had it wrong. Et al.

I refuse to believe that.

Anniversaries

Here in this country town people mark the 9/11 attack by putting out flags in their front yards. Red, white and blue. I'd do that too, but some kids stole my flag when I wasn't looking. I'd better get another one.

Some of the flag bearers may even remember that today is the 2nd anniversary of the Benghazi massacre, in which Ambassador Stevens was killed by Islamic savages, but not before he was raped burned and tortured for seven hours. "What difference does it make?" declaimed Hillary Clinton. A fair bit, if you're Stevens or one of the former SEALS who died there too. Well done, SECSTATE Hillary.

But there's another anniversary today which almost everyone has forgotten, the lifting of the Great Siege of Malta, on September 11, 1565. Since May of that year, the Jihad forces of the Ottoman Turks had attempted to overcome the island's small Christian garrison, under the command of the Knights Hospitaller and their courageous Grand Master, Jean de Vallete. 

Thanks to the resolute defense of the Island and the timely arrival of a relief force of knights led by Don Garcia, the Jihad army was routed and fled to their ships. Less than twenty years later, in 1571, the Islamists attempted to dominate the Mediterranean again, hoping to capture Rome and from there  on, Europe itself. They were decisively defeated at Lepanto. 

Perhaps we recognize the pattern. Islam, wherever it's practiced thoroughly, is at war with us, following in the footsteps of its founder, the warlord Mohammed. 

Our President, however, appears to be in a state of denial. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant isn't "Islamic", he tells us. So what are they then? Methodists? Parsees?

Don't be fooled,
