How do you spell Insanity?

Brooklyn to get first Arabic PS
By Dana Rubinstein
Muslim community leaders are hailing the city’s decision to open an Arabic language and culture school in Brooklyn this fall.

“I think it’s very important that people be exposed to the language,” said Abdur-Rahman Farrakhan, the imam at Masjid Al-Jamaiyah in Brownsville. “Not just Muslims, but non-Muslims too.”

The Khalil Gibran International Academy — named for the Lebanese-American poet, philosopher and artist — will educate a diverse student body, and half the classes will be taught in Arabic.

The stupidity of our elite is an eternal well. With the exception of the declining, decaying West is there any other place in the world where people can come and demand that government finance and support their anti assimilation?

I remember the dopey prince Charles expressing his delight at the thought of a Mosque going up in Oxford, one of the holiest cities of the Anglican faith, and thinking future historians will scratch their heads at our willingness to accelerate our own demise. Bad ideas have consequences and multiculturalism was about the stupidest and looniest idea to emerge from the post 1960s Marxist domination of higher education.

Islam is a fine and noble faith...for Arabs, in Arabia. However, the Christian west and Muslim east have never been, and never will be, good neighbors (and faith has very little to do with it) , and it is better to maintain good fences. No it doesn't sound as nice and sweet as some slogan about a new agey brotherhood of mankind ...but the simply reality its better for all parties involved.

What is interesting, is that world wide, while the idiotic American and European elite embrace the idea of diversity - and the more of it the better, the rest of the world is polarizing: India and Pakisthan have along ethno-religious lines, and the once 'diverse' holy land - between Muslim and Jew , (the Christian population of Jerusalem was nearly 50% now it is down do 3% - Ramaalah at one time was 99% palestinian Christian, now it is down to 4%) ...and thanks to the 'genius' of Neocons, the Jewish and Christian populations of Iraq will probably flee en masse. Some 180,000 Iraqi Chrisitians are already seeking asylum.

Abstract unproven theories and empty slogans "diversity is our strength' 'diversity enriches us' are not only patently false, but are the ingredients of Empires, not democracies. There are some places that are 'naturally' diverse -like port cities and universities but just because Raj and Abdol are lab partners, doesn't mean there's going to be a resolution to the Indo-Pakisthan conflict. People who are different generally speaking don't get along and it takes a strong central authority to hold them together (as in Iraq). It is no accident that the rise in restrictions on association and individual liberty have coincided with the increase in 'diversity'. Why, other than sheer momentum, why this idea, so clearly detrimental to the West, continues is baffling until you realize that's the point.

And speaking of polarization, discussing this topic is much like discussing immigration. Anyone not in favor of virtual open borders is labeled a restrictionist nativist. The idea that there might be more sensible levels of immigration isn't even a topic for discussion.

People who hear my political views first, then my personal tastes...or visa versa are often shocked...how can I have this one view and like Bollywood films, or Flamenco? How can Spain be my favorite country to visit yet I object to voting registration forms in Spanish here?

I would answer that true diversity means countries and people are different - Ireland is Irish, Spain is Spanish (and even the regions are remarkably different) and that's makes the world an interesting place. Trying to make everywhere like Disney's "its a small world' ride - a hodgepodge of different peoples and cultures is simply homogenizing the world. That benefits big corporations who want to sell the same pair of jeans to Indians, Chinese and Americans, but it makes the world a boring place.
