Not So Nice

 

Three people were killed yesterday when a Mohammedan savage ran amok in a French church, Notre Dame, in  Nice.

Shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great Greater), the fanatical 21 year old Tunisian unholy warrior knifed a man to death, attacked a woman who died of wounds outside the building and beheaded another woman near the font. Christian Estrosi, Nice's mayor, condemned the attack as an act of "Islamo-fascism." 

"Islamo-fascists" or "Muslims" have been active in France, recently beheading a school teacher who dared criticize their pedophile prophet warlord, a gunman Akbar in Avignon and a pointed instrument Jihadi at the French consulate in Saudi Arabia.

Look, here's the thing. If you import thousands of Muslim savages into your country, don't be surprised when they get all savage. Tricky math, ain't it.

That in mind, consider the inevitable reaction. With apologies to Cold Comfort Farm, just you wait and see.

Holy Wednesday Reflection

I find this helpful, perhaps you will too:

Light From Darkness

 

It is out of that uttermost gloom of My God, my God, why have you forsaken me that the light breaks. The light does not merely shine upon the gloom and so dispel it; it is the gloom itself transformed into light.  For that same crucifixion of our Lord which was, and for ever is, the utmost effort of evil, is itself the means by which God conquers evil and unites us to himself in the redeeming love there manifested.

 

Judas and Caiaphas and Pilate have set themselves in their several ways to oppose and to crush the purpose of Christ, and yet despite themselves they became ministers. They sent Christ to the cross; by the cross he completed his atoning work; from the cross he reigns over mankind.  God in Christ has not merely defeated evil, but has made it the occasion of his own supremest glory.

 

Never was conquest so complete; never was triumph so stupendous.  The completeness of the victory is due to the completeness of the evil over which it was won. It is the very darkness which enshrouds the cross that makes so glorious the light proceeding from it. Had there been no despair, no sense of desolation and defeat, but merely the onward march of irresistible power to the achievement of its end, evil might have been beaten, but not bound in captivity for ever.  God in Christ endured defeat, and out of the very stuff of defeat he wrought his victory and his achievement.

Behold The investigative Genius Of France

France is notorious for its detective work, for an uncanny ability to solve the baffling of crimes. Some would almost call it psychic:

The French investigators have such extraordinary powers of forensic penetration that they can dispense with all inductive aids to inquiry. Here they have not one, not two or three, but twelve acts of violent desecration in the past month, including an arsonist attack against the second largest church in France. 

Then Notre Dame catches fire - and what a fire it was - on Monday of Holy Week. Even before the fire was brought under control, the authorities ruled out arson. Has the world ever seen a more potent demonstration of investigative prowess?

In related news, it's Mueller Time. I think we own that meme now.

God bless,

Parisians Sing As Notre Dame Burns

Europe, and by extension the West, is the Faith, a Faith which is increasingly, vehemently under attack. The burning of Notre Dame serves as an apt symbol.

Here's Z's take via WRSA:

As news spread of the fire consuming the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, the first reaction of most people was shock and sadness. You don’t have to be Catholic or French to feel as if some part of you has been lost. That was not just an old building or a historically important place. It was a symbol of Western civilization. Stand inside a great church and you feel the awe and power that inspired the builders. That cathedral was the primal roar of a people celebrating their creator and the essence of who they were as a people.

Of course, it did not take long for people to notice that its burning was a metaphor for the current crisis in the West. As Europe is swamped by Muslims, promising to replace Europeans in their own lands, it is only a matter of time before the great churches are turned into mosques or destroyed. Despite the endless propaganda from our rulers, most people here and there, are well aware of what’s happening. They don’t know how to articulate it or react to it, but they know. Watching the fire, they knew what it meant.

An aggressive take on a tragedy? Perhaps, but one which took place in the midst of a wave of attacks on French churches this year, though you'd hardly know it from our media. 

Notre Dame still stands, thank God; does the Faith it represents? It does, though badly eroded in the West, but if it were to go and with it the soul of our culture, what would take its place, what will fill the vacuum?

Serious question,
