Saw a story out of Pakistan and it is similar to many stories I’ve read over the past years – teenage Christian girl (13 in this case) is kidnapped by a Muslim man, sexually assaulted, forced to convert to Islam and then “marry” the man. In a rather sad, last echo of British rule there was a court case about it: going through the motions, as it were. The court ruled for the Muslim. These cases are usually decided by a few things:
- How intimidated the court is (the man brought something like 150 male friends to let the court know how it would go if it ruled incorrectly).
- Statements allegedly from the victim claiming she’s happy with it (this is coerced and the girl can’t actually testify in a Muslim court).
- Because this is what you can do if you’re a Muslim male when dealing with non-Muslims in a Muslim-majority country.
But don’t get too hung up on the Muslim aspect of it. What happened here is the common run of humanity. The strong take what they can, the weak endure what they must. This is what the world is like – except in places where Christianity is the majority worldview. This is what Christianity suppresses when it waxes strong.
You can look up the Amritsar Massacre and you’ll find that it is a very big thing in India. It happened in 1919 in the Punjab, then under British rule. The dislocations caused by World War One had lead to unrest all over India – riots, attacks on Europeans, destruction of property. In Amritsar, an elderly British schoolteacher was manhandled by a mob and the local military commander decided to teach the locals a lesson. With eyes clear, he ordered his troops to open fire on a large crowd of Indians – nobody to this day knows how many were killed. Lowest estimate is 200, highest is 1,000. Times two or three injured. Remember: the British commander wanted a large number of Indians to die. He felt is was the only way to control an increasingly unruly situation and bring peace to the Punjab. Of course, when word got out of what happened, the whole world was shocked and outraged – including the British Establishment…and including Winston Churchill who was an ardent opponent of anything like independence for India. Post-Independence, the massacre has become part of the integral story of India’s rise to independence – they’ve got a huge memorial to the slain and it is ingrained into Indian national consciousness. The justification, as it were, for throwing off the British yoke. And, of course, Dyer – the British commander – is roundly condemned as an insensate brute…a racist imperialist oppressor.
But, here’s the thing, Reginald Dyer was born in the Punjab. He was fluent in many Indian languages. He commanded Indian troops in battle – very successfully on multiple occasions. In short, the man knew India – and Indians. Perhaps not as well as a native, but as well as any outsider can know another people. It was with his deep knowledge of Indians that he gave the orders to fire – and the firing was done by Gurkha and Pathan troops under his command. It is when you actually look at this that you realize that maybe the kindergarten history we’ve been spoon fed about the end of the European Empires is leaving off some crucial details. He wasn’t some monster – he was a highly educated man who lived and worked with the people of India his whole life.
So, why did he open fire?
Because the sort of people he was governing included the very sort of people who here a century later kidnap Christian teenagers, assault them and force them to marry their captors. Whatever brutalities the British Raj visited upon India, it is nothing like the brutalities that Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis visit upon themselves. Dyer wasn’t trying to kill good people…he was trying to make sure that the sort who kidnap little girls – or manhandle elderly British women who devote their lives to educating poor Indians – didn’t get the upper hand. We can dispute whether the action was right or wrong – but we cannot, we dare not, just go for a cartoonish view of the event. There was a reason – and we must know the reason before we render judgement. And we here in 2026 have the luxury of hindsight. We’ve seen what happens when the barbarians are able to take control.
Good to keep in mind that while the British Establishment condemned Dyer, the British people handed him the modern equivalent of about 1.5 million dollars via voluntary subscription. Almost as if even way back then, there was a divide between People and Rulers…and it was the Rulers who were undercutting the People no matter what the People wanted.
Why bring all this up? Because there’s been a lot of talk about decency of late. Most recently sparked by Trump accidentally including in a video post a couple second clip showing the Obama’s looking like apes. From what we can tell, that last bit was entirely inadvertent. Trump – or Team Trump – was posting a video indicating the fraud in the 2020 election and whomever posted it simply slipped up and picked up a couple seconds of the next video in the stream. Poor editing! But we were immediately told by the Left that it was indecent and a host of so-called “Conservative” voices rose to condemn Trump.
Meanwhile, a 13 year old girl in Pakistan was just legally handed over to her abuser.
Armed bandits “kidnapped” 150 Catholic students in Nigeria – I put that in quotes because they weren’t kidnapped…it was a slave raid. Those poor kids are being sold.
An illegal immigrant truck driver killed 4 people in Indiana.
Up in Canada a woman was killed by the national health service against her will – sorry, lady; but two out of the three MAID ghouls agreed it was time for you to go!
Decency, huh?
Meanwhile, these Democrats who say Trump is indecent are in favor of federally funded abortion on demand to the moment of birth. They cheered with Trump was shot. Cheered when Kirk was killed. They are fighting tooth and nail to keep illegal alien criminals in the USA – and are inciting violence in our street to protect Democrat voting and financial fraud.
Spare me the whines about decency. Our world is very indecent right now – and the only way we can get back to decency is to get back to whacking the barbarians. And not fairly. The barbarians must feel more pain than they ever caused us. It is the only way barbarians learn. We have very much lost something – the will to live, as it were. We fuss so much about any perceived error on our part that we have no time to spare for the massive crimes against humanity our opponents commit on a daily basis…with the promise that if they ever get back on top, they’ll jail us for merely disagreeing. There is nothing quite so true as the old phrase that you sleep peacefully in your bed at night because rough men stand watch, ready to do violence on your behalf. Like the Hobbits in The Lord of the Rings, we are sheltered, but have ceased to remember it…we think we’re safe because being safe is the norm. It isn’t. And the areas of “safe” in the world are rapidly shrinking. If we don’t let the rough men get back to work – and soon – we’ll be overrun with savagery.
