Two - youngish women - each escaping horrid domestic abuse...at the hands of oppressive male instigators/perpetrators...thence fleeing for dear life to seek refuge in foreign lands...in the process formally renouncing their imbibed religion/religious heritage/superstructure...
Surely must be Western women escaping oppressive, patriarchal, 'Christian' wife abusers, right? That is, if the socially anarchic, culturally Marxist, secular media narrative constantly fed us all is to be - remotely - believed...
Completely wrong! Not on yer nelly! You couldn't have it/things more incorrect... .
No, just as the current furore over independent federal Queensland senator FraserAnning - possibly a 'racist' 'far-right' *extremist indeed, **/***if media reports and/or interpretations are to be given even a shred of credibility - might well be veiling the real issue at stake here (and being highlighted by said politician). I.e., although said mainstream media and their political counterparts would have us all believe that it's all about Senator Anning (especially as he now comes under ****renewed fire bigtime by all and sundry in Oz) being yet another supposedly xenophobic, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic (and doubtless also homophobic and misogynistic) man...
...could it be instead - as indeed a snippet of said highly skewed TV report last night (NZ's TV1 and TV3 6 p.m. News Bulletins) suggested...that Anning et al/& Co were actually championing the oppressed women of majority Muslim (chiefly Middle East) lands? And were simply following in the worthy tradition of the likes of renowned feminist and scholar ********Germaine Greer, no less?
Yes, I refer to the young *********Saudi woman currently 'holed up' in a Thai airport and the like (as she seeks to permanently leave Saudi Arabia, having renounced the Islamic 'faith' and claiming her life would be under threat should she return there) as well as the *********Iranian woman whose life story was covered in last evening's '700 Club' under New Zealand's Shine TV 6 p.m. News Show...whose life was similarly subject to extreme domestic abuse in her homeland, but whose move to Sweden, and subsequent induction into the pastorate, has seen her mightily used of God in playing an instrumental role in the conversion of up to 1,500 Muslims to Christianity since that time...
To Be Continued (in the not too distant)...9 days on
This'll be brief, but let me first apologize for such a sloppily written blogpost (vis-a-vis Senator Anning esp.)...and then sum up - best I know how...
Let me ask you all, in total sincerity, folks, which religion/religious grouping is invariably involved in the almost endless plethora of terrorist 'incidents' regularly reported from here, there and everywhere
in our modern-day world? Yep, ya don't have to be a rocket scientist to instantly realize the answer, eh? To preempt the offence of certain sensibilities I'm only too well aware that fringe fanatics do not the entire religion define...and yet, no - as my title implies - it ain't those much-maligned, endlessly pilloried 'Christian fundamentalists' the mainstream secular media might lead you to suspect...
*Admittedly a syntactical redundancy, as being 'far' anything is quite clearly of the extremist, fanatical fringe per se...
**However, if it's yet another instance of el typical media beat-up pandering to ye ******snowflake generation of precious sensibilities, then - hey, you go figure (but suffice to say it can be instantly dismissed/consigned to ye proverbial garbage-bin of worthless, meaningless, media drivel.)
***Admittedly when pretty well 'every (wo)man and his/her [pet canine]' has come out in uncategorical, unqualified condemnation of the senator - and moreover his erstwhile, one-time party leaders, including Pauline Hanson no less - it does give one pause for consideration, for sure...
Although I've been initially prepared to give the fellow the benefit of the doubt, having just read news.com.au's Charis Chang's report/opinion piece on Senator Anning's appearance at the United Patriots Front rally in Melbourne thereabouts...which simply led me to conclude that the media and politicians-at-large are obviously determined to indict Anning as guilty by association in what struck me as one (of ****several) well-coordinated hit/s upon his reputation...with no right of reply (or last response) thereto...I do so entirely in the understanding that Anning is rather ill-informed/out of touch with history, especially vis-a-vis his 'maiden speech' to the Australian Senate...where he invoked that awful, dreadful term 'the final solution' (in regards to Australia's immigration 'crisis')...and was subsequently given his marching orders by the ever-so-politically-incorrect Bob Katter. But how anyone with even a cursory understanding of 20th-Century history could conceivably be ignorant of the meaning and implications of such a term in regards to the Holocaust seems somewhat hard to fathom, that's for sure...
Come on, folks...elite business council (and all the rest): that's just a little bit rich, don't ya think? I.e. in view of ongoing, seemingly never-ending concerns (at the very highest level in God's Own) at the utterly outrageous, appalling treatment of kiwis either long-established in Oz and merely seeking basic, fundamental rights legally-enshrined for all other Aussies and/or those (one-time, however nominal, brief as) kiwis summarily subjected to deportation upon one convenient pretext or the next (despite the slightest of offences), let alone those surviving upon the likes of Christmas and/or Manus Island/s...
****Though I've already referred to Pauline Hanson's speech - denouncing her own erstwhile One Nation M.P. for the type of transgressions many might be forgiven for previously having majorly associated with her own especial brand - I omitted mentioning that that speech of hers was given at Senator Anning's swearing-in - and swearing at! - speech before the federal Senate when he took his place as no longer part of Bob Katter's Party, let alone One Nation, but now as a truly independent Senator...way back in August 2018...
******As a lover of all things snow-related, however, I wouldn't personally use such a term to depict such a mentally-challenged and emotionally-crippled generation, except in the sense of being *******'pure as the driven snow'...
*******Cf a strikingly relevant passage in the Scriptures (Proverbs 30: 11-14), which talks - in somewhat/substantially different terms, of
a generation that curses its father, And does not bless its mother...
a generation that is pure in its own eyes, Yet is not washed from its filthiness...
a generation - oh, how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up...
a generation whose teeth are like swords, And whose fangs are like knives,
To devour the poor from off the earth, And the needy from among men.

********About whose strident, trenchant criticisms of ye modern Western 'feminist' and her/their totally misplaced priorities (graphically reported a number of years ago) I intend to one day write... -suffice to say, Greer's critique of contemporary western feminism is devastating (even if I, a 'pale, stale, male' do say so myself!)
*********Both of whose names seem impossible to obtain at this point in time - despite strenuous efforts - although **********'El Colquhoun' was used by the BBC this morning at the tail end of a long piece re the Saudi Arabian woman, and the female Swedish pastor's **********name I jotted down somewhere...the author, incidentally, of a book - Stranger No More, about her experiences in leaving the religion (and land) of her forbears...
