In Iraq, captured Yazidi women fear the Islamic State will force them to wed

DAHUK, IRAQ — Hundreds of Yazidi women who were captured by Islamic extremists during their sweep through the town of Sinjar are being incarcerated at scattered locations across northern Iraq in what increasingly looks like a deliberate attempt to co-opt them into service as the wives of fighters.

Islam allows men to have multiple wives (unspoken tenet is if they can afford it) and with equal numbers of males and females being born some men will never have access to a wife.  Historically the Muslims have corrected that sad fact by raiding other tribes or lands and stealing women. Along with anything not tied down.  In the history of many western countries, if their ancestors passed through the barbarian phase, they did the same thing. But they pretty much got it out of their systems a thousand years ago, more or less.

Islam never did.  The first naval action of the US Navy was the punitive mission to suppress the Barbary Pirates (Muslims). When the western nations became too strong and dangerous to provoke, Muslims, such as Barack Obama’s grandfathers,  continued to operate a sweet little business in Africa, catching Africans and marching them to the coast to sell to the purveyors of that civilized abomination.  Bringing Africans to Chicago and Detroit to vote Democratic.  (After a period of forced labor in the South to pay for their passage.)  Sold some of them to Kamala Harris’s great-grandfather on jolly old Jamaica.

Slavery and the capture of other human beings for sex or labor continued in the Muslim world without interruption to this day.  Although it was mainly reduced to a few small areas of the world.   Until now.  In the areas controlled by ISIS in Syria and Iraq, non-Muslim women and girls are being kidnapped, raped or murdered.  Also in Africa (still remember #Bring home our girls??) and in southeast Asia.

The barbarians of Islam are on the march, forget Ronald Reagan, where’s Charles the Hammer?  Roland? El Cid? John of Austria?  General Gordan?

What we have today isn’t peace, it’s a brief interlude won by the superior arms and military skills of our Western forefathers. The Islamist are quite forthcoming on their belief that everything that they controlled before with be theirs again.
Why don’t we play the same game? Take back all the lands on the coast of the Mediterranean.

Drive them back into the dessert.

Our new motto, “This Time, No More Mr. Nice Guy!”.

This picture is an oil painting that isn’t just classical art, its war propaganda. It depicts an actual raid on the coast of Italy, probably the port city of Vieste (1554AD) in which hundreds of young men and women were enslaved. The corsairs then murdered 5,000 inhabitants deemed to young or too old to bother carrying back to Africa.

The thing about the Knights Militant and the Crusades; they were defensive actions or punitive strikes against an hated, cruel and failed way of life.  Islam.

With the Hamas War going on, this seemed like a good time to re-post this.

732 The Battle of Tours: The high point of Muslim conquests in Europe.

AD 732, Battle of Tours: Charles Martel the ‘Hammer’ Holds The Line Of Battle

The Franks and The Muslims under the Umayyad Caliphate would meet in northeastern France in October of 732. Charles Martel, commander of the Franks, who were largely infantry based, and likely equal in number to the Muslim army, would fight General Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi, who commanded the Umayyad army that had a large amount of cavalry.

…

The Muslims had a tried and true method of wearing down the enemy with light cavalry peppering and repeated heavy cavalry charges. With no real reason to try something different, ‘Abd-al-Raḥmân’s cavalry crashed into the Frankish formations who stood firm like “A Bulwark of Ice” according to later Muslim accounts. Frankish troops withstood the attacks and lashed out hard whenever the experienced troops saw an opportunity.

Deep into the fighting (perhaps into a second day according to some sources) The cavalry broke into a Frankish formation and towards Charles. His guard, and perhaps Charles himself, entered the fray. Several Frankish scouts were sent at the same time to raid the enemy camp, causing havoc and freeing prisoners.

The Muslims feared for the safety of their booty, obtained during the campaign and many rushed back to the camp. This was seen as a full retreat by many other members of the Muslim army and an actual full retreat soon followed. ‘Abd-al-Raḥmân valiantly attempted to rally his troops but was killed in the fighting as the victorious Franks swarmed upon their retreating foes.

A Danish warrior brought his war band to the South and joined in the battle.  In Denmark it is said that Holger Danske sleeps in his tomb, but with one eye open to watch for danger to his land and his people.
