 UK suicide town

A small town in England has had a disproportionately high suicide rate. Here is the story of the latest victims. At the risk of appearing overly simplistic, let us not forget that England has long abandoned its Christian roots. Nothing is more demoralizing than nihilism, and that is all that many young people are left with nowadays.

Kosovo declares its independence

Kosovo, cultural center of Christian Serbia, is now in Muslim hands thanks to Bill Clinton and his “holy” war against Christianity.

President Bush, always eager to please his fellow politicians on the Global Left, jumped on the float of celebrants and cheered the new “nation” on its way to independence.

Keen observers know that the support from major EU member states and the US is, to say the least, based on a grotesque interpretation of international law, and that, ironically, many of the people who shouted foul when the US invaded Iraq are now applauding this latest action to carve out an independent state from Serbia, which has cultural and religious ties to Kosovo.

The following site shows that the genocide in the former Yugoslavia was by no means a one-sided war against Muslims, as was falsely represented in the press. Open this next link only if you have a very strong stomach. (Don’t say we didn’t warn you).

Pat Buchanan said it best in this article:

Some news is good news

Although we focus on news items that are useful to the extent that people can participate in their outcome through the democratic process, there are some welcome positive trends at places.

We have railed against the EU and will do so in the future, but let us play the devil’s advocate and admit that the EU sometimes helps overcome injustices that individual nations perpetrate.

One such example is the home-schooling issue in Germany, where the national courts consistently rule against the parents in favor of some of the most boring and autocratic schools on the continent, where the brightest and best are precisely the ones targeted for harassment by teachers and classmates alike, and where Albert Einstein got bad grades until he emigrated to Austria, simply because dissidents are not tolerated by the iron-booted teachers, and yet, where EU leaders have shown sympathy for home-schooled students and their parents. Here is one instance where we would hope the EU gets the upper hand and keeps it.

Another example of justice coming from one part of Europe when none was to be had in another nation is the case of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a former Dutch parliamentarian who had fled her native Somalia to escape brutality at the hands of her own Muslim family and others. Ali had bravely campaigned against European Islamic terrorism and had collaborated with the slain Theo van Gogh to make a movie portraying the violence of European Muslim thugs. Van Gogh’s slayer had left a bloody knife at the scene with a note stating that Ali was next on the hit list.

In a shameful display of abject dhimmitude, the managers of Ali’s apartment complex evicted her for posing a security risk, and since her move to the US, the Dutch government has refused to provide her with the security due her as a former parliament member.  She is currently employed by the American Enterprise Institute. She has meanwhile been offered protection by the French government. Under Sarkozy, the French have started showing a bit more spine than other nations, like the heretofore craven Holland.

Finally, as we mentioned previously, Iraqi Christians are fleeing their homeland for fear of brutal reprisals ranging from church bombings/burnings to death threats and murder, but we didn’t mention to where they are fleeing. It seems many are repairing to Sweden, and particularly to the town of Sodertalje. So many Iraqis have flocked to the town that the authorities have finally called for a halt to the ingress, unable to sustain these immigrants economically.

So while Americans tend to think of Europeans as anti-Christian, and many of the policies pursued there are precisely that, many people there are still willing to do the right thing.

Perhaps they are seeking redemption. They may find it at last.
