I Wonder

What was going on in the minds of the San Bernadino killers as they prepared for their end? They have to throw away all the things their culture not only didn’t produce, but to this day does not make copies of or even sub-assemblies. They had to strip off their 21st Century identity in order to practice their 7th Century ideals.

Suppose you are living in the 1950s and are suddenly engulfed with early 21st century tech. What is forbidden is instantly available. Alcohol, sex and especially sex.

And what does the Islamic State want for its children? According to this source (slide 29), 6 years of schooling for boys – no math, science, or art. Girls need only 2 years of schooling. By those metrics the San Berdoo shooters were way over educated.

I don’t see how, in a computer (cell phone) age, rules like that can be enforced. Who will run their infrastructure? Or do they plan to give up electricity? There are a lot of contradictions in their beliefs. Their answer to the 21st Century? Kill it. That is self defeating if tried on people willing to kill back.

    And, after all, that’s all that matters. US citizens are ready, willing, and able to kill back. EU citizens, not so much. Sucks to be them.

    You would think so – but their 7th and 8th century forefathers did conquer North Africa and Spain from the Goths who had taken over the Western Roman Empire. Goat herders took down the classical world built by the Romans – one town at a time in some areas – and brought on the Dark Ages in Western Europe.

    Slaves and dhimmis will run their infrastructure, at least until too many dhimmis convert to Islam and the infrastructure becomes too decrepit to maintain. Indeed, there have been periods of Islamic rule during which conversion to Islam was forbidden to forestall precisely this problem.

    It is the hight of irrationality to deal with an irrationality as though it were rational! john paul sarte. jews waiting to go to auschwitz couldn’t understand why the s.s. stopped a troop train headed for the front ordered the troops off so they could load the jews on. the jews said your hurting your war effort. the s.s. said we don’t care!

    Bob – Yes. The “Golden Age” of Islam = the period after North Africa was conquered and before the Goths and Romans had become culturally Muslim.

    Kaffir infidels will run their infrastructure. Look at Saudi Arabia.

    What does it matter what goes through their heads? All that counts is to kill them before they kill us.

    Did it matter what kamikaze where thinking?

    What did Moslem arabs ever invent? The math came from Hindus and Greeks, the astronomy from Greeks, the medicine from Greeks, Christians and Jews, architecture from Romans. It’s a parasite civilization which lives on the wreckage and slave labor of the victims.

    They happened to come by just as Europe and the west had hit a low point. I doubt they would have successfully conquered el Andalus either a few hundred years earlier or later. Someone like Caesar or Charles Martel would have been ready and waiting. As it was, Martel was ready and waiting. After Europe even slightly recovered Islam never made further encroachments, until now with Angela Burka and her ilk calling the shots. Now we get to do it all over again.

    Wadi agriculture is a useful invention for a desert climate, but it predates Islam by thousands of years, likewise oases, irrigation, networks of caravanserai across the desert and so on.

    If my desires are the highest law, as homosexual “rights” advocates claim, why should I risk my life to fight Jihadis. Why not just give in?

    Mike,

    The Islamics want to kill homosexuals. No need to give in when you can join them.
