The gunner emotionlessly set up his weapon at the end of the car. Those fifty prisoners meant nothing to him. Years under the SS meant the days of being repulsed by such an order were long past.
As he adjusted the ammo belt the sight of the Englishmen’s shock as they grasped their fate didn’t move him. Pulling the trigger & spraying the field produced no more emotion than his morning shave.
But when his eyes fixed on the sight of all his spent rounds on the ground before a pair of red boots that brought him emotion, raw fear.
“I’m not talking about Islamists. I’m not talking about terrorists. I’m not talking about radical Islam. I’m talking about mainstream Muslim culture. There are eleven Muslim countries in which I could be killed for being a homosexual. The state penalty is death. One hundred million people live in country where the penalty for homosexuality is death. This is not radical Islam. This is mainstream Muslim society. Look what’s happening in Sweden. Look what’s happening anywhere in Germany, anywhere there are large influxes of a Muslim population. Things don’t end well for women and gays. The left has got to make a decision. Either they want female emancipation and it wants gay rights or it wants Islam. It’s got to pick.”

I must confess I read Don Surber’s piece today with some amusement because it seemed so familiar:
If these were children of Catholic, or even Protestant Parents they would be denounced all over the west, Canada’s draconian laws would be unleashed against them and their parents would be face legal proceedings for hate crimes, every talk show host would be on their case and people who do their best to have them fired from any jobs they held. Perhaps even proceedings launched to take custody of these children from the parents who did this.
However these children and not Catholic, or Protestant or any Christian denomination. They are Muslims and while a lot more people are claiming to be gay, or binary or whatever the fad is to get credit for victim status the actual physical Muslim population of both the US and Canada is not only growing but continues to grow.
Those MP’s are going to need those Muslim votes in just 10 to 20 years to get elected.
if a Christian council had banned the Pride flag, liberals would have known exactly how to respond. Denounce the council for its queerphobic bigotry, and lead a furious protest march against heteronormative, patriarchal white supremacy. Simple.
Unfortunately, though, this council isn’t Christian. As a result, American liberals are being forced to contemplate an awkward dilemma. Their whole purpose in life is to defend marginalised minorities. But what should they do when one marginalised minority marginalises another marginalised minority? Whose side should they take?
A very long time ago I wrote how the primary target of the left was always Christianity and the left saw Islam as another group that opposed Christians. What Muslim’s actually believed didn’t matter as long as they could be weaponized against Christian culture.
But having seemingly defeated Christian culture, at least in the blue states, the reality of the Tom Hagen math is biting them. The future belongs to those who show up and people who castrate their own children children if they even bother to have any just don’t have as many votes as those who have large families.
I predict that I will live to see the Democrat/left throw the LGBTQ community, that they never really liked anyways, under the bus, but what will really be interesting is the moment that will come before this when the Antifa types decide to try to muscle American Muslims.
I suspect if they are foolish enough to try it will look something like this with Antifa playing the role of the bikers
At least it will end like this is Antifa is lucky.
I’ll give the last word to Don:
Liberals believe the price Muslims should pay for sticking up for them is giving up their religious beliefs.
As he raised his head to see that death for him and all with him was moments away, Squadron Leader Bartlett remembered his dismissal of the words of Group Captain Ramsey on the difference between the Gestapo, SS and Luffwaffe.
He was well acquainted with death being at his shoulder and understood that in this escape death held all the best cards, but in that last moment he was surprised that the idea of them all being shot in cold blood after capture still shocked him.
But not as surprised as he was to find it wasn’t the last moment.

I write a lot about my fantasy leagues but today let’s talk the real thing.
While this has been a disappointing year for the Boston Red Sox who need to win five of their final six to avoid a sub .500 season we have some excellent races all around the league. Let’s start with the AL
In the East The Orioles still haven’t clinched with six to go but the odds are favoring them.
In the West with seven to play Texas has again reversed their fortunes being 3 up in the loss column with the two teams chasing them going head to head for three to make things easier for them.
In the Central there is no Drama. Minnesota has it won with a record that would not secure a wild card spot.
And as for the wild card Tampa Bay has clinched the top spot if they don’t catch up to the O’s and the up and down Blue Jays need only of out of their final six to guarantee a bearth.
Meanwhile Houston and Seattle go head to head for 3 here at the end to decide who gets a spot and who goes home. Unless we see a sweep it will not likely be decided till the final series of the year.
In the National League all the divisions are decided. The Braves took the east and the Dodgers the west long ago and the Brewers are one win or one Cubs loss away from taking the central and while it’s possible (remember 1964) I wouldn’t stake money on it.
The wild card race however is as exciting as the east, perhaps more so because five teams have a legit shot at the three positions. Even the Phillies at +5 have not clinched. The other four teams Arizona, Chicago, Miami and Cincinnati are all within 2 1/2 with the Diamondbacks and Cubs tied and Miami just one game behind.
So at least ten cities will be looking forward to meaningful and perhaps exciting games for their teams this week. This will mean smiles for if you’re a Baseball fan, at least if you don’t live in Boston or New York.
