SATIRE By Zbiegniew Zwgstkstwig
I was out golfing last weekend when I ran into a couple of old buddies. For some reason they had stopped playing and were engaged in a heated conversation. OK, it was more like an argument. A fight, actually.
This did not look good, and since we've been good friends since college, I thought it was my duty to intervene. I approached them.
They ignored me. They seemed to be ready to hit each other over the head with their golf clubs.
May I say first that Mark is a fellow with old-fashioned values, a conservative with little patience for liberals, or progressives, as they like to call themselves.
And Kevin is a born progressive. Son of hippies, he drank liberalism with his mother's milk.
But in spite of their differences, Mark and Kevin have remained friends through the years. Last Sunday, however, that friendship was put to the ultimate test.
Hold it, guys, I said. What is the problem? It's such a beautiful day and ...
"Oh, shut up", said Mark. "Kevin here can't seem to grow up. He's stuck in the 60s, complete with John Lennon songs going through his head."
"That's not true," argued Kevin. "I'm just upholding multicultural values that make our country great. As Obama said..."
"Oh, Kevin, shut up you too," said Mark. "Zbiegniew, you're a cool-headed guy. You be the judge. Here's the issue: whenever there is a product that fails to comply with the expected requirements, the government takes it off the shelves and issues a recall. And as a first step, we stop manufacturing or importing such product. Think of automobiles, or baby cribs, or pharmaceuticals. It happens, right?"
"Well, yes," I said. "The government is responsible for keeping us safe. It's an important part of their job."
"Correct!" said Mark. "So what about the case of immigration from certain countries that produce jhadis that hate, threaten, and kill our citizens? And when they're not doing that they are demanding that we modify our laws and customs to accommodate 7th century Sharia laws?"
"Now, wait a minute," interjected Kevin, red in the face. "That's so unfair. Most Muslims - and I think you're referring to them in this case - are peaceful and law-abiding citizens. Why should good people hoping to migrate into our lands suffer for the misconduct of a few?"
"Kevin has a point," I said.
It's all about the precautionary principle, replied Mark. As I already mentioned: if a product has a high chance of doing harm, we ban it, or suspend it, until the manufacturers can prove that they have corrected its flaws.
"Mark too has a point," I said.
"Just this morning I happened to read the budget allocated to combat jihadism in my country," said Mark, who happens to be a Canadian. "It's not only extremely high but growing exponentially. More Muslim immigrants equals more expense to combat home terror, and quite likely more acts of terror. We need to put a moratorium on Muslim immigration until we can be certain that they can integrate peacefully into our societies, and that they won't require an army of intelligence officers to keep tabs on them. We can't afford it."
"The financial aspect is certainly a consideration," I said, "particularly in times when we have to cut back on social spending."
Kevin interrupted: "But immigrants contribute to the economy. They buy stuff. They set up businesses."
"In Europe and the US they are mostly on social assistance," argued Mark. "That's another cost added to the policing and such."
"Muslims also contribute to science and philosophy and art," said Kevin.
"Name one," snarled Mark.
Kevin got even closer to Mark's face as he said: "You are just being a racist and an Islamophobe, You think your culture is better than those of others. How wrong you are. All values are relative."
At that moment a plane flew over very close to the ground. We all looked up, then ran for cover.
Kevin was flailing his arms and screaming, Don't hit me, Don't hit me! I'm a liberal! I'm a progressive! I love Muslims! I love Islam!
The plane crashed not far from us.
Later we found out it was only actor Harrison Ford who chose to crash his malfunctioning aircraft on a golf course so as not to hurt anyone.
Much calmed down, Mark, Kevin and I sat down for coffee. Kevin looked rather subdued. Mark was keeping generously silent about our previous discussion. Let the facts speak for themselves.

AS SOMALI MUSLIM GROUP AL SHABAAB THREATENS AMERICAN MALLS WITH TERROR, the White House is importing 800 Somalis a month - White House also to quadruple number of Syrian refugees allowed into the USA, among whom there may be jihadis
Europe - They destroyed the Jews and then invited Muslims to settle in. A Journalist documents Muslim racism.
What England has become, thanks to Muslim immigration. A Jewish journalist walks in predominantly Muslim neighborhoods. Within a minute he was being attacked. He was spat on, abused, even stalked, but escaped alive while his tour was being secretly taped. His experiment follows those of other Jews walking European cities and documenting abuse, mostly at the hands of the European Muslim population.
An essay published by a Spanish newspaper many years ago, but now more relevant than ever:
ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ -
Europe refused to save the talented, patriotic and productive Jews. Today it submits to the invasion of people who hate Europe and its culture, and who use violence to impose their views.
