Salman Rushdie: The Writers Boycotting the PEN Awards Over Their Honoring of Charlie Hebdo Are "Pussies" In Need of "Character"

Six writers have announced they will boycott the PEN awards, when they recognize Charlie Hebdo for courage in the face of Islamist threats (and perseverance after Islamist mass-murder).

The leftists offered a rationale similar to that offered by Garry Trudeau: To attack Muslims would be (and explain to me why this is not itself "racist") "punching down," which the Superior White Race ought not do.

"A hideous crime was committed," novelist Peter Carey generously concedes, "but was it a freedom-of-speech issue for PEN America to be self-righteous about?"

...


As short-story writer Deborah Eisenberg argued in a long letter to the executive director of PEN, satirizing Catholicism is fine because it "has represented centuries of authoritarian repressiveness and the abuse of power."

Islam in modern Europe, in contrast, "has represented a few decades of powerlessness and disenfranchisement."

Free Speech means attacking my enemies -- and only my enemies. Everything else is "hate speech."

Well, Salman Rushdie, who of course has been under death threats from Islamists since the 80s, has a hot take of his own.

Replying that the award would go on without Carey and the others, Rushdie responded in uncompromising language: "The award will be given. PEN is holding firm. Just 6 pussies. Six Authors in Search of a bit of Character".

The Daily Telegraph reports the further comments of Rushdie, who responded to the suggestion that France somehow had it coming, remarking: "This issue has nothing to do with an oppressed and disadvantaged minority.

"It has everything to do with the battle against fanatical Islam, which is highly organised, well-funded, and which seeks to terrify us all, Muslims as well as non-Muslims, into a cowed silence.

"These six writers have made themselves the fellow travellers of that project. Very, very bad move".

True, true.

^^^^^^^

Short-story writer Deborah Eisenberg might want to familiarize herself with a fcuking history book once in a while. Islam has "represented centuries of authoritarian repressive ness and the abuse of power" on every fcuking continent its adherents have been found.

As a devout Catholic, this dumb scrunt can go fcuk herself sideways with a Rusty chainsaw. The only reason this asshole thinks it's ok to target people like me is because her snobbish clique of well-to-dos feels good about themselves when they shit on the group of folks who won't be lopping off their heads any time soon while they give a pat on the heads to the "noble savages" the snobbish types always love to parade around.

Post-colonial guilt.

I once found myself telling a Brit that, really, the British Empire had some positive aspects. He wasn't buying it. His great-grandfather had been a Methodist missionary in Africa, but as far as this left-wing dude was concerned, the British Empire was one step up from the Nazis.

We are well aware of how the leftists here view American history, the Constitution, the Founding Fathers, etc. But that hostility almost pales next to the hatred lefty Brits feel toward the British Empire.

And of all both hatreds are basically a subset of the larger hatred of all of Western Civilization, especially its' primary religion.

Punching down meme is one of the most pernicious memes I've encountered, but Rushdie is a complete hypocrite here.

All this is true, but incomplete.

Rushdie's autobiography, "Joseph Anton", admits this; but then goes on to say Rushdie recognised it as a huge mistake. Because he realised that there was no way he was going to be able to reason with the Islamic Republic and with various copycat imams.

Remember, everyone was in uncharted waters at the time. Before all that, Muslim leaders understood that infidels in infidel land were going to infidel. It wasn't the same as a local apostate or uppity dhimmi.

118 "The type of surgery Freddie Grey had required several weeks of rest. For all we know he did it to himself. And it explains why the spinal column was cut. it had not had time to heal and fuse after surgery"

Jumping to conclusions is the new national sport particularly when it justifies what the mob wants to do anyway.

Since Duke LaCrosse, Trayvon and Ferguson I assume the opposite will turn out to be the case simply because of the feeding frenzy. The mobs have to get moving before facts come to light.

119 And in the ultimate case of Double Speak, named it Islam while preaching how liberating it all is.

Patricia Crone and Michael Cook related it instead to the Syriac Christian formula, ashlem nafsheh li-mareh. That meant "submission of self to the Lord" and was usually used in the context of martyrdom.

It goes well with subsequent research, like Fred Donner's, which has the Believers as a sort of semi-Christian order of militant monks; and like Christoph Luxenberg, which has the Qur'an as being written by bilingual Syrian Arabs.

I love the part toward the end, when the Indian Army officer is about ready to murder his white British Commonwealth compatriots over the news of the bombing of Hiroshima, and after he calms down the Canadian-Italian is hanging his head in shame because he knows Kip is right, that They would never have used this barbarous weapon against a white nation.

Which tells me enough about Ondaatje's view of the world. Look, I know there aren't a lot of FDR fans here, but I think FDR would gladly have used the bomb on Nazi Germany had it become available in time. I think Truman would have used it on them if they'd still been fighting in August 1945. I know that Paul Tibbets' group was training to bomb Germany, it just didn't work out that way.

297 India is somewhat different. They had/have a civilisation spanning a couple thousand years. Longer if you count the Vedas and Harrappa (which you probably shouldn't).

We've had Indian visitors here who've vehemently insisted that the Brits should have butted out excepting for trade and cultural contacts. There was one in particular who pretty much kicked my ass on this topic (pro tip: don't argue Indian history with an Indian if all your knowledge comes from a couple of Flashman books).

One thing the Brits did do (besides the introduction of English common law, roads, law, and the aqueduct) was keep the Russkies out. On that much Flashman got it pretty much right.

300 A few facts, re the Mayor of Baltimore:

COUNCIL TO MAYOR

Rawlings-Blake, a Baltimore native, became the youngest person ever elected to the Baltimore City Council, at the age of 25 in 1995. She went on to serve as City Council president from January 2007 to February 2010. When then-mayor Sheila Dixon resigned after being convicted of embezzlement, Rawlings-Blake automatically became mayor in 2010. She successfully won a full term of her own in 2011 with 87% of the vote.
BEYOND BALTIMORE

Rawlings-Blake has a budding national profile, as secretary of the Democratic National Committee and vice president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. She is considering a run for the U.S. Senate to succeed retiring Democrat Barbara Mikulski, saying it is important for Baltimore to have continued political strength. Rawlings-Blake has also been mentioned as a possible candidate for Maryland governor in 2018.
OUTSPOKEN

The mayor has taken heat for comments she made over the weekend about the “balancing act” facing Baltimore officials and for saying they gave “those who wished to destroy space to do that as well.” Rawlings-Blake has said her critics have mischaracterized her words. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, told CNN the mayor has “done a terrific job” amid the riots and violence.
AFTER FERGUSON

Rawlings-Blake served on a panel of mayors and law enforcement officials convened by the U.S. Conference of Mayors in the wake of the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. The group issued a report on ways to strengthen ties between the police and local communities .
EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL CAREER

Rawlings-Blake has a bachelor’s degree in political science from Oberlin College and earned her law degree from the University of Maryland. She was an attorney for the Baltimore public defender’s office from 1998 to 2006.

They love Muslims because the get the glee of watching murder of people they've convinced themselves are sub-human and who personify adulthood.

360 Nip Sip, are you being snarky or do you not know? Not a problem, most people don't know that dark history.

Heart of Darkness is staged in the Congo and is based on actual events
also
Per King Leopold's Ghost, the peak production times for Belgian Congo rubber coincided with the demand for the importation of rifle ammunition. The natives in the villages would be shot if they did not produce sufficient quotas of latex. Also it was a cost saving device for the local "managers" to not provide resupply of ammunition to the collection teams unless the collection teams could show severed hands to justify the ammunition use.
And further,
Roger Casement, who was later hanged for treason for his action during the Irish uprising, was sent to the Congo to document what was going on in the 1880s.
He wrote a report on it.

Anyhow, the Belgians were not good colonial masters by any means.

My pastor just laughs at that. "Guess we'll find out who the real church is."

Perhaps not coincidentally, our church is launching a new ministry of home-based meetings. Which is a big undertaking, as there are over 2,000 of us.

The Germans brought Turks over as cheap labor after WWII. They bear
some blame for not getting what they needed and then kicking them the
fuck back to Turkey.
"

Cheap labor is an expensive drug and hard to kick...

The Belgians enslaved the population, merci!essly dismembered those who
did not meet their quota of work, and raped the countryside. They
invented the chopping off of habds and feet by machete. Overall it is a
very sad story of what some "civilized" country did to a bunch of
"savages".

Posted by: bergerbilder at April 28, 2015 09:19 PM (+jijM)

All this is true, but the trains ran on time, they exported a lot of shit and their were no Mohammedans killing people.
Enslavement is a relative term. Are the subjects of ISIS enslaved?
Yes. Do uncivilized nations know anything but brute force? Don't know.
I'd say yes. That does not make it right. Just makes it a fact.

Your point is well taken. They are not any better today then they were 100 years ago. So?

373 Anyhow, the Belgians were not good colonial masters by any means.

To be fair, the Congo Free State was Leopold II's personally domain independent of Belgium.

It wasn't until international outcry that Belgium took it from him.

But that just goes to show you that there were some things that European colonial powers wouldn't put up with.

Other things they wouldn't put up with? Slave trade, human sacrifice, sati, foot binding, &c.

He was temporary. The Congo was a mess before, during, and after.

381 The Belgian Congo represents the absolute worst of colonialism. There's no way a humane person can defend what the Belgians did there.

However, it doesn't represent all of European colonialism, which is a phenomenon that spanned hundreds of years and varied greatly from country to country and era to era. The Europeans certainly exploited the peoples they ruled, but they also brought technological, legal and material advances.

Ironically, one of the biggest reasons the sun finally set on the British Empire was because of demographics. In the 19th century, Britain sent its surplus population around the globe. They built hospitals and improved living conditions in the colonies - and the indigenous peoples began to outbreed the Europeans, until it was no longer feasible to rule them.

382 The fate of the British Empire was largely brought about by US Democrats. The only reason it faded was in response to the rising power of the US.

Also note that the whole notion of 'minorities' is a US invention, and still seems to be measured by a group's relative power WITHIN THE US.

"Islam is a sociopolitical vehicle of Arab imperialism masquerading as a religion.""

Whoever said that was brilliant.

- The arabs didnt let non-Arabs become muslims at first, but changed their minds when they were running countries and needed help.
- Sunni vs Shiite was about who led the empire in a fight for succession in 750AD. The different factions became the different sects.
