Religion Of Peace

When will the west, especially countries like Canada, shed its naivete and WAKE UP:

Iran - Ebrahim Raisi

Nice cleric and man of gawd. Islam? The religion of peace.

Iran is the world’s premier state sponsor of terrorism and a top financial and ideological supporter of Hamas, the Gaza-based Sunni terrorist outlet responsible for the unprecedented atrocities against the Israeli population on October 7. Erdogan, an avowed Islamist, has repeatedly declared his support publicly, denying that Hamas is a “terrorist organization” and claiming that the group’s “resistance” against Israel – in the form of infanticide, gang-rape, mass slaughter of civilians in their homes, and other crimes against humanity – is legitimate.

Both Iran and Turkey celebrated the October 7 attacks, Tehran with a massive street party featuring chants of “death to America” and Ankara with a “Great Palestine Rally” reportedly featuring over 1 million people.

Turkey is a member of NATO, the 21st century’s version of appeasement. Erdogan? 21st century version of Chamberlain’s peace in our time. Munich anyone?

A Muslim poker game:

“I see your 1.5 infidel but I’ll raise you 10.”

Muslims will take over Europe first and then the world because divershity is their strength, not ours. Once they tried to rule and take over Europe by the sword. Now? DEMOGRAPHICS. Witness “Tours” or the seige of Vienna in 1529 and 1683. What we desperately need today is another Charles “the Hammer” Martel or John Sobieski, or Wilhelm von Roggendorf and Nicholas, Count of Salm.

Charles Martel - Battle of Tours: The Salvation of Christianity

Charles “the Hammer” Martel kicked Muslim butt at Tours, France in 732 CE thereby saving Europe and Christianity from the Muslim scourge and Islam. Today he would have been considered by our illustrious naïve leaders as suffering from acute Islamaphobia. And no he was not a WWE wrestler although his name has modern connotations as such.

Muslim’s routed in Vienna in 1529.

The Hofmeister of Austria, Wilhelm von Roggendorf, assumed charge of the defensive garrison, with operational command entrusted to a seventy-year-old German mercenary named Nicholas, Count of Salm. their HQ was St Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna:

Part of John Sobieski’s cavalry that routed the Muslims at Vienna in 1683. Sobieski was the King of Poland and part of a European coalition to save Vienna from the Muslim scourge. Today he would be reviled as suffering from acute Islamaphobia!

No! This is a cute Islam by the name of Phobe

Today? 25% of the population of Brussels is Muslim. Belgian is slated to be Europe’s first wholly Muslim state and more of Europe to topple, erm follow.

I am not some islamophobe. These are the historical truths and the facts.

Canada? Europe? The US? UK?

WAKE UP

PS: There is a great film about the siege of Vienna in 1529 starring F Murray Abrams. Find it on you tube as it is worth a watch.

Lighten up:

Day 20: Pont de Dognon to St Leonard de Noblat.

Picture yourself sitting on a cafe terrace having a grand cafe au lait in the town’s square surrounded by buildings going back to 1200 with a church even older than that. Narrow cobblestone streets. Shops, bakeries abound. Women shopping, the men chatting, smoking and cursing, laughing as well. You would be in the centre of St Leonard de Noblat, a medieval town restored in all its medieval glory and patina. Only problem for a hiker like me is that the town centre is at the crest of a hill. Closer to god than thee – so the saying goes. And that is why I had to climb a 2.5 kilometer hill to arrive at this scene. If only I had me a donkee.

But before all that I have to play this son:

Did you know that this song was not written by Cat Stevens but by a religious brother sometime in the 1800s.

The house is similar in design to Canada House, Juno Beach,  Normandy.

There is a town to the northwest of here called Tours. Tours is also the beginning of a camino. But Tours is also famous for a world changing battle during the medieval times. You see, the Muslims had just conquered Spain and now had their eye on France. So a large Muslim army marched into France to kick some French butt. The French were forewarned and this French dude whose name was – I kid you not – Charles “ The Hammer” Martel gathered all of the French peasants, trained them and set off to meet the Muslim invaders. On October 10, 752, the armies met at Tours.  Charles was a medieval military genius who held the high ground at Tours. And like an arch angel he came down on the Moors from on high and kicked serious Moorish butt and won the day. The Moors fled back to Spain never to return that is until the 21st Century. But what a name: Charles “ The Hammer” Martel. Like something out of Wrestling, don,t you think. True story. I researched this so you don,t have to.

Milestone:  today, while walking, as I looked down, I could see my belt buckle for the first time in 17 years. Wow!

15 km today of which 12 were uphill,including the 2.5 km hill coming into St Leonard de Noblat. Tomorrow Limoges, a place of which I had some serious concerns about before I left Canada. Seems like yesterday but also a long time ago.

5th day on my own. I sure do miss the Von Trappe family and Berry the Dutchman. We had some good laughs with da banker and his famille. Good luck kids. Like good ole Charles the Hammer, kick some serious studies butts.

Thanks to Mike and Jean I had 150 views yesterday on this blog.

Cheers and have a great medieval day.
