Also Unfitna

It may or may not be right to ban Geert Wilders from this country; he is in the Pim Fortuyn tradition of opposing Islam so that the Netherlands can remain a drug-addled, whore-mongering country where the age of consent is 12, contrary to the wishes of its general public either in the staunchly Protestant north or in the devoutly Catholic south.

That is not any West that I for one wish to defend. But then, it is not in fact the West at all. It is only the most extreme, and in that sense logically consistent, manifestation of the pseudo-West proclaimed by the neoconservative movement (or what's left of it these days).

But this ban does at least show that such a ban is possible, even against an EU citizen, never mind against anyone else. So, yes, by all means ban Islamists. Ban Avigdor Lieberman and the members of his revolting party, just as we banned Meir Kahane when he was alive.

And since we rightly ban David Duke, who has never really mattered but whom it is still right to keep out, so we should ban the signatories to the Project for the New American Century, and the Patrons of the Henry Jackson Society. So we should ban those American and other ecclesiastics who have expressed racist views about Africans and others who do not share their liberal sexual morality. And so we should ban Hans Küng, whose disparagement of the late Pope John Paul II’s Polishness made and make them the authentic voice of the age-old Teutonic racism against the Slavs; Küng only gets away with it because he is Swiss.

Neither the neocons, nor the liberal-racists, nor Küng really matter any more. But that is not the point. They could still do damage, and we do not want them here. Like the Islamists and like Yisrael Beitenu, let them be excluded from the United Kingdom. Their presence would most certainly not be, and periodically is not, conducive to the public good.

  1. Ah, Pim Fortuyn, now there was a man. I cried when they assassinated him!

  2. Like Wilders, he was no better than the other side, just differently ghastly.

  3. I thought you liked the Swiss?

  4. Not least for the fact that Küng hasn't lived in Switzerland for decades.

    I don't like assisted suicide, or the drugs laws in certain cantons. But I do like all sorts of other things about the place. Very, very, very much.

  5. Ban Likud members from entering Britain?

  6. If Likud went into coalition with Yisrael Beitenu, then I'd be quite open to that idea. Same for Kadima. Same for Labour in principle.

  7. Ah, the devoutly Catholic south. Mine is another country where the Catholics decide the elections but they do not yet realize it. Just like yours.

  8. And Switzerland, for that matter.

    Germany and Austria are ones to watch as well. The historic Catholic alliance with certain parties has effectively collapsed. And then there is Italy.

    Imagine it, a network of Catholic Leagues stretching from Britain through the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy, and out to Canada, Australia and New Zealand as well.

  9. I can well imagine it. It sounds awful.

  10. Well, get ready for it. In all these countries, as in the US, it is already the Catholics who decide the elections. We just need to get organised. And we will.

  11. Whether it is the mass immigration and Islamisation or the drugs and the whores, we the Dutch people were never asked about these things and we do not want them.

  12. I suppose we've all got a little list. I'd ban James Hansen, Al Gore, & Bill Clinton, Wesley Clarke & Peter Hain, Darcus Howe & a whole lot more.

  13. Several of those are British citizens.

  14. A pity it's a bit too late to add John Paul II himself to the list!

  15. Wasn't Kung a set text on the Durham 1st year theology curriculum?

  16. 'Credo' was, yes. "A Pope from Poland", and all that. (And now "A Bavarian peasant" - Bavaria was one of the least Nazi parts of Germany, as Catholic areas were across the board.)

    Thank God for C E B Cranfield's 'The Apostles' Creed: A Faith To Live By', the other set text for the same paper. Give me honest Calvinism over pseudo-Catholicism any day.

  17. "Bavaria was one of the least Nazi parts of Germany"

    So? What's that got to do with anything?

  18. It's where the allegedly "Hitler Youth", "Holocaust-denier-friendly", &c Pope comes from. And it is a record in marked contrast to Küng's attitude to the Poles.
