Double-virtue-signalling strikes again
The Yellow Vest Movement of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which has been criticised for exhibiting far-right sympathies on the page, is staging a protest at Belfast City Hall on January 19.
Organisers of one of two ‘yellow vest’ protest planned for Belfast this month say they are “at war with Islam not Muslims” following condemnation of comments on their social media page.
So reported a recent Jihad Watch article.
The broader Western Mainstream can see through this specious distinction; yet the Counter-Jihad Mainstream continues anxiously to affirm it by, among other things, making statements like the otherwise anti-Islam ‘Yellow Vest’ movement, tantamount to a double-virtue signalling (signalling their robust Counter-Jihad bonafides to the Counter-Jihad, whilst currying favor with the broader Western Mainstream by, in effect, saying, “See? We're not racists...!”)
Dipping into the comments thread to see what the Readership had to say (as opposed to the Leadership), I was pleasantly surprised to see at least a few comments by different people expressing disdain at the distinction:
Sharon Monaco says Jan 21, 2019 at 12:08 pm Muslims are people who practice Islam.
Peter35 says Jan 21, 2019 at 3:01 pm Surely anyone with an understanding of the situation would say “we are at war with both islam and moslems”, since they are the one and same.
dan christensen says Jan 21, 2019 at 3:03 pm “As I keep saying we are at war with Islam not Muslims.” How can you be at war with islam and not muslims? There is no islam without muslims – and no muslims without islam.
Troybeam says Jan 21, 2019 at 4:16 pm How can you be at war with Islam without Muslims, one and the same…wake up Ireland.
Savvy Kafir says Jan 21, 2019 at 5:07 pm They’re “at war with Islam, not Muslims.” Really? If they don’t realize it already (and my guess is, they do), at some point, these people will understand that they are very much at war with Muslims, because many Muslims are waging war on them & their society, in one way or another. It’s not some disembodied form of Islam that’s making those white British children unsafe. It’s Muslims, practicing their religion in the same ways their beloved prophet did. It’s not the “holy” texts of Islam that are stamping out free speech in Britain & the rest of the civilized world. It’s Muslims, practicing their religion the way they’re supposed to — aided by PC idiots on the political left.
[Savvy Kafir goes on to articulate the long-term threat, but not clearly in my estimation; the dystopic future seems vague in Savvy Kafir's description, almost as though the future destruction of the West will occur by osmosis and almost magically after Muslims grow in population -- rather than concretely by Muslims doing violence against us (when, in some distant future, they will have the numbers to make it work)]
Michael Copeland says Jan 22, 2019 at 12:12 am Muslims are INSTRUCTED that they are and have to be our enemy. “…between us and you enmity and hatred forever” Koran 60:4. We inhabitants of Dar al Harb are their “harbi”, enemies. “Kill them wherever you find them” is their standing instruction.
[And leave it to our old friend, Big W, to zero in succinctly on the main problem:]
thebigW says Jan 21, 2019 at 10:08 pm lol the only people who say we’re against Islam AND all Muslims (because they’re against us) are just anonymous guys and gals posting comments on the Internet, not the ones selling books, traveling around making speeches, appearing on shows, doing debates on YouTube, forming organizations. Maybe someday all THOSE people will have the guts to say what a few guys and gals say online, and hopefully that day will be some time before Muslims destroy our society, would that be askin’ too much? LOLOLOL
