Over the years, I have tracked the "progress" that Islamists have made in Europe. In Britain, I have felt that, while there is a very ugly strain of anti-Semitism on the Left, the country has reacted to the demands of a minority of noisy Islamist by taking a page out of the Chamberlainian Playbook of Appeasement. While the country certainly had its share of anti-Semitism up through World War II with the some of the Fabians like George Bernard Shaw and Oswald Mosley and his Nazi-sympathisers, I have always felt as though being part of the Allies, who saved the world from Hitler and rescued millions of Jews, we were, perhaps, more sensitive about anti-Semitism than countries that were occupied and collaborated, in some respects, with the Nazis. It is true that Churchill had made some statements that could be considered to be anti-Semitic in the early 20th century. I think that many did and the exposure of the forgery of evil known as "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" seems to have been a turning point for many in British politics.
"SOME people like Jews and some do not; but no thoughtful man can doubt the fact that they are beyond all question the most formidable and the most remarkable race which has ever appeared in the world." - Winston Churchill
Britain had Churchill. Norway had Quisling. The question for Norwegians today is whether their anti-Semitism is part of something rotten in the State of Quisling or are they playing along with the anti-Semitic mob as a modern-day Chamberlain in the hope that appeasement will immune them from Islamic terrorism and the continuing push for more Shari'ah, not less, in society?
-- I am Quisling. -- And the name? "Audience with Hitler" by the Norwegian editorial cartoonist Ragnvald Blix, 29 January 1944 |
I imagine soon that our Nobel Peace Prize winner, Barack Obama, whose military gives medals for "courageous restraint," will be on hand in Oslo one day when the Nobel Committee awards its first Appeasement Prize. Can Norwegians vote for themselves?
