910 Group | 23:57:00 | |
With the expansion of the 910 Group, the issue of “inclusiveness” has arisen. How inclusive is the 910 Group? Do we welcome everyone, or just the neocon theocrat right-wing-extremist Bush-Halliburton acolytes?
It’s true that the Burning Core of the 910 Group are members of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. The 910 Group was generated by readers of Gates of Vienna, which is most assuredly a VRWC blog.
But that doesn’t exclude anyone of a different political persuasion. If you’re determined to resist the Great Islamic Jihad, and support the traditions of Western Civilization, then you are in accord with the mission of the 910 Group.
I recently received an email from an avowed Socialist whose blog is dedicated to opposing radical Islam. He said, “This is one thing that you and I can agree on.” Amen to that, brother.
Other people have written to the 910 Group to say that they’re interested in our mission, but are put off by the conservative zealotry which is so much in evidence among the members of the group.
Well, deal with it.
There’s a good reason why right-wing fanatics are over-represented among 910 Group members: the leading lights of liberalism, including (but not limited to) 99% of the prominent members of the Democrat party, have refused to take on the Great Islamic Jihad, and have condemned those who do want to fight it as “racists”, “militarists”, etc.
If you’re a liberal and oppose the Jihad, this has left you with nothing but your strange bedfellows: Republicans, Christians, members of the armed forces, homeschoolers, social conservatives, and various other wackos that you’ve crossed the street to avoid for all these years.
These are strange times, and a common enemy can generate some unlikely allies.
So here’s the word: you are welcome in the 910 Group if you subscribe to these two basic guidelines:
| 1. |
|
You absolutely oppose the Great Islamic Jihad; and |
| 2. |
|
You support and affirm the basic liberal traditions of Western Civilization. |
That’s it. If you agree with these principles, you’re in.
One caveat: NO “BUTS”. These principles are non-negotiable, not contingent, and do not become inoperative under unfavorable circumstances. They are the core values, the rock-solid basis which cannot be overturned or negotiated away.
There’s no room for responses like these:
I’m opposed to radical Islam, BUT…
- You have to understand the root causes of terrorism.
- The problem of Israel and the Palestinians has to be solved first.
- It is a legacy of Western imperialism and colonialism.
- It is important to understand and be accepting of different cultural values.
- Sometimes terrorism can be a legitimate form of resistance against oppression.
Nuh-uh. Nope. No way. Absolutely not. Under no circumstances.
If you subscribe to any of the above dependent clauses (or their numerous cousins), then you don’t belong here. This is no place for equivocation; those who have come here recognize the gravity of the present danger.
Root causes don’t matter. Historical grievances don’t matter.
Violence against civilians for religious or political purposes is always, everywhere, and under all circumstances WRONG.
Asserting otherwise destroys the civic and moral fabric of our common society, and we emphatically reject it.
Resist the jihad. Encourage the overthrow of tyrannical Islamist regimes. Work to stop and reverse the encroachment of Wahhabi fundamentalism throughout the Western world.
After we’re done, and the Islamists are in the Dumpster of History, we can argue about abortion, taxes, government-run health care, school vouchers, fiscal restraint, etc., etc.
Right now we’ve got more important things to do.

Great to finally see some ant-jihad organisation - it’s sorely needed.
Unfortunately the “socialists” are working for our weakening, on all fronts.
Thus, the assumption that they may see the light now is unrealistic, in my opinion.
In order to be efficient in opposing the islamo-fascism, also mean opposing liberalism, which is their fifth column inside our society.
My two cents…
Dan, in order for us to win this war, we can not make it a partisan affair. We have to build bridges between left and right, socialists and capitalists, democrats and republicans. If we fail to build a common front that crosses the right-left divide, the war is going to be much harder, much bloodier, and the outcome much less certain.
I’m a libertarian communist. An anarchist in the Bakunin mold.
As a right leaning thinker, you might feel frustrated at the absolute moral blindness of the left. Can you imagine what it feels like for those of us from the left who recognize the threats posed by the Jihadists and the misguided cultural policies which enable them? I was nearly lynched at a party for speaking out against Hezbollah.
Imagine being a liberal and seeing everything you believe in betrayed and attacked by those who claim to be on your side. Democracy, open inquiry, freedom of thought, equality- leading neo-fascists “liberals” are waging a war against these values in the name of cultural sensitivity, and many of us are sick and tired of it.
I’ve already started to organize others in this fight. We refuse to let those Marxist loving bastards get away with what they’re doing. We might be a minority right now, but we’re confident other disaffected leftists will join our ranks. This war is just getting started. Don’t count us out just yet.
You’ve seen how difficult it’s been to organize the right. Imagine how difficult it is for those on our side to organize! It’s a difficult, thankless job. We have more enemies and fewer allies. Right now, we walk our path very gently, ever mindful that a thousand “friendly” predators want to devour us whole.
Despite the hostility we face, despite the thankless nature of the work ahead of us, we have chosen to get involved.
Our first project is a school that teaches Western history and values. Other projects in the pipe include a post-leftist magazine and establishing an educational network that combines and connects online organizations with real world venues like ours.
Will we succeed? Maybe, maybe not. But these are tangible acts of resistance. If other people start doing similar things, we are going to have a real show of defiance on our hands, one that can change the cultural and political climate we now live under. One tiny school out in the wilderness is nothing - but if our business model proves viable, a year from now, we’ll be in a position to help others start their own schools. What happens once hundreds of grass root schools start popping up? Our pie in the sky goal is to see these schools become the next generation of Liberty Trees. Grounds where modern sons and daughters of liberty openly and publicly gather to organize the defence of their constitutional rights.
I like what the 910 group is doing. Baron and friends want to defeat Jihadism by encouraging open debate and free inquiry.
I might disagree with conservatives on a host of issues, but I agree with them on some of the most fundamental ones, and I will do everything in my power - however limited that might be - to help protect their rights and freedoms.
We have common opponents to deal with. We can set aside our differences for the length of this battle. And perhaps, when everything is said and done, we might realize we aren’t that different after all.
That was a long post, but I hope it served it’s purpose. You are not alone in this war.
Great movement, the only answer must be national socialist policies, but without nazi ideology.
Thus creating a world wide movement thats centered on the presevation of the existing cultural heritage of each and every individual country.
here is a link that you may find some common ground.
The traditional left vs. right is dead in the face of the Islamic threat, there is a new frontline instead between those that wants to preserve and cherishes the values of democracy, freedom and liberty and hold those values dear to their hearts, and the multi-culturalists that can’t differentiate between values as all is seen as equally good or bad, none above and none below. And it’s not only the traditional left that have become infested with this plague upon Western values, a good chunk of the right wing have become enarmoured by multi-culturalism as well, although the left is the one hardest hit, and thus it is important that we do help those from the left that genuinely wants to help fighting off this plague and save our basic cultural values, we can quibble over the finer points of politics later.
And it is hard to get anybody out of the habitual thinking, I have a number of friends who happens to be very left wing, and they have had a very hard time to understand that Islam is an enemy… why because they have believed in their own slogans and have bought the Islamic lies, like Islam is a Religion of Peace, and the victim role of the Palestinians etc. etc. But working around these paroles and parades I was able to get a few of them to actually read the Qu’ran (or parts of it) and some of the Hadith’s and had a lot of talks based on what they were reading. I don’t think I managed to save them from being left-wing (and that wasn’t the purpose either) but I managed to open their eyes to the dangers of Islam and the lies of Islam, and seeing through the lies that they have been told so long made them perhaps even more radically opposed to Islam. Me I knew all along that they were not friends and hostiles, but to these left wing friends it was like a double knife in the back by supposedly friends the muslims and their fellow leftwingers who have helped Islam uncritically.
zonka,
While the right recognizes the threat and fights it, the left (in general) looks at the islamo-fascists as the “disadvantaged” ones, equating jihad (war of religion) with the economical struggle.
Part of our work is to educate the left, to wake them up.
After all, the suicide bomber does not differentiate between liberals and conservatives.
It sounds like some great ideas. Count me in! Education is soooo important. Most people I know and talk to just don’t care. Its almost as if you are bothering them by talking about such depressive things. Or the best is the “violence never solves anything” crowd. Thats gonna go over like a fart in church when it confronts you face to face one day. Most are just not wanting to face reality. I cannot understand the mentality of someone who thinks oppression is better than fighting.
Here is a great interview from Tim Blair’s page. It was shown on Arab TV. A little mental??

You have to understand the root causes of terrorism.
For people who do not want the reasons, you do go to a great deal of trouble to point them out - ie. having an ideology [Islam] of veangence [jihad] and distrust [tarqiya?], but not having sufficient force military for a continual attack.
Sometimes terrorism can be a legitimate form of resistance against oppression.
Terror against civilians is a strategy, it can be effective.
Socialists you might like to network with.
