Too good to check: Jihadis dying of the Black Plague

Hope its true and that it spreads like wildfire throughout the global jihadist community, it’d be nice if it took a bunch of their lefties/dhimmi sympathizers too. :D I’m reminded of a passage from War of the Worlds:

“Life is real again, and the useless and cumbersome and mischievous have to die. They ought to die. They ought to be willing to die. It’s a sort of disloyalty, after all, to live and taint the race. And they can’t be happy. Moreover, dying’s none so dreadful; it’s the funking makes it bad.

In another moment I had scrambled up the earthen rampart and stood upon its crest, and the interior of the redoubt was below me. A mighty space it was, with gigantic machines here and there within it, huge mounds of material and strange shelter places. And scattered about it, some in their overturned war-machines, some in the now rigid handling-machines, and a dozen of them stark and silent and laid in a row, were the Martians Jihadists—dead!—slain by the putrefactive and disease bacteria against which their systems were unprepared; slain as the red weed was being slain; slain, after all man’s devices had failed, by the humblest things that God, in his wisdom, has put upon this earth.

For so it had come about, as indeed I and many men might have foreseen had not terror and disaster blinded our minds. These germs of disease have taken toll of humanity since the beginning of things–taken toll of our prehuman ancestors since life began here. But by virtue of this natural selection of our kind we have developed resisting power; to no germs do we succumb without a struggle, and to many–those that cause putrefaction in dead matter, for instance–our living frames are altogether immune. But there are no bacteria in Mars Dar-al-Islam, and directly these invaders arrived, directly they drank and fed, our microscopic allies began to work their overthrow. Already when I watched them they were irrevocably doomed, dying and rotting even as they went to and fro. It was inevitable. By the toll of a billion deaths man has bought his birthright of the earth, and it is his against all comers; it would still be his were the Martians ten times as mighty as they are. For neither do men live nor die in vain.

We have learned now that we cannot regard this planet as being fenced in and a secure abiding place for Man; we can never anticipate the unseen good or evil that may come upon us suddenly out of space mecca.”-H. G. Wells

Here’s another related thought by Christopher Hitchens:

…since `89, and then much more since 2001, it’s become evident to me that it’s a fight, not just a disagreement, between civilization and theocracy, and religion — it’s urgent. They mean to destroy our world, and we’re not going to have it.

People will say, “Ah yes, but I once met a priest who was raising charitable money for children,” and so on. I say, “Well, I’ve met them, too. But I could do that without a Godly permission.” My analogy for it is Camus’s novel, “La Peste,” “The Plague.” It goes into remission. The rats go back down into the sewer. But they’re always breeding. They’re always carrying the bacilli. And one day, one day they will again send up their corpses to die in a free city.

And any time you deal with this evil practice on children, or this evil derivation of sexual repression with this surrender of the mind to faith, or this emptying of the intellect, and the prostration in front of the supernatural — even at its best, it’s always dangerous. And when it turns nasty, it’s nasty and dangerous like nothing else.
