He knows with whom he is dealing, that Caliph.

The caliphate is now at the “sublime door”, the Turkish borders of Europe, leaving behind piles of thousands of unburied dead. Yet the terrorist insurgency of the Islamic State does not lift an eyebrow on the faces of the self-righteous Westerners who unleashed hatred against Israel.

This summer there were two wars: the just war of Israel against the anti-Semitic terrorist regime in Gaza, which for two months tried to besiege the people of the Shoah, and the laconic war of the White House and the Western governments against the Islamic State.

The European governments, mirror of the idle self-righteous conscience, are reluctant to act against the Islamists of the Caliph Abu Bakr al Baghdadi and his terrorista, who want to scar the society in which they lived and that gave them birth, who take pride in fighting for the Prophet and who are trying to sweep away any sign of civilization through the imposition of a regime of submission.
It is part of a Western syndrome which revealed itself during the war in Libya, a caricature of the “France-à-fric” (the cash), the war of the assimilated Jew Bernard-Henri Lévy, a war that had the sweet, honey, reassuring, taste of humanitarian mediation.

In the name of the idiotic slogan “neither interference nor indifference”, France presented a war of eastern Libya’s tribes, which have always been hostile to the central government of Tripoli, as a liberation struggle of the entire people against a tyrant who did business with the West. That stupid citoyen, fed with the mantra of humanitarian intervention, hypnotized the Western public opinion to lead a war from above,  skewed in substance.

Today the black flag of the Islamic State waves on some Libyan cities. The same scenario is repeated in the Nineveh Plains, the land of the two rivers, where the caliphate now governs a region as large as Great Britain.


Airstrikes and hypocrisy.

Against Israel this summer there were the entire solar system, the intelligentsia of the newspapers, the United Nations, the NGOs financed by Brussels, the clerks. What are all these people doing now about the Islamic State?

Nothing.

How can we forget the images modified through photoshop and published by Reuters during the Second Lebanon War? A woman in Beirut was rescued from the ruins, and used again in a different place.

For the dead of the caliph, nothing.

During the same days that the world denounced Israel’s bombing of the UN’s schools used as launching pads for Hamas’ missiles, the caliph carried out the ethnic cleansing of the Christians and other minorities in Mosul.

Imagine what would have happened if the millions of refugees who are now ravaging Syria and Iraq had been under the Bush administration. For years we have read about how Bush senior betrayed the Iraqi Shiites in 1991 and how we Europeans were insensitive to the plight of the Kurds.

What about Barack Obama’s treason towards the Kurds, the Yazidis, the Christian Chaldeans, the Mandaeans, the Sabeans and the Assyrians who inhabited Mesopotamia before Islam and that Islam is now murdering and driving away?

The European public opinion, which is always aggressive with the Jews, is now drowning in the interpretations, in the futile, in the vague, in the convenient, while loopholes of the Islamic umma are meeting in Baghdad.

The Westerners are paralyzed, just like after 9/11, when they wanted to see the evidence against Osama bin Laden and asked for a regular extradition to the theocracy of Kandahar. It would be so funny if it were not so perverse.

This summer the West condemned Israel because she defended herself and sent her wonderful soldiers into that dirty hole of sand and fanaticism which is Gaza. Now the same West bombs the Islamic State from afar and implores the caliph to save the heads of hapless and generous Western NGO volunteers.

Cynical lies are good only for a strategic flight. Caliph Abu Bakr al Baghdadi deserves our respect.
