Plenty of crusades at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century

Is it not curious how history repeats itself as if humans are inherently  incapable of learning from history! This is a very sad fact to say the least!

There you have the current crusades of DEI, ESG, Global Warming/Climate Change, faux racism (illegal discrimination based on skin color), white old men, microaggressions and the list goes on and on!

Human progress seems significantly slower than molasses in this respect!

An end to cigarettes? New Zealand aims to create smoke-free generation

What kind of a Big Government crusade is this? This is government paternalism! Prohibition again? Horrible! Will alcohol be next?

The Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, claims she is a Labour Party progressive. This is pretty regressive and oppressive!

"New Zealand has announced a suite of proposals aimed at outlawing smoking for the next generation and moving the country closer to its goal of being smoke-free by 2025.

The plans include the gradual increase of the legal smoking age, which could extend to a ban on the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products to anyone born after 2004, making smoking effectively illegal for that generation. ..."

The Many Muslim Crusades

Posted: 2/28/2015

Those who did not learn history are prone to make huge mistakes! U.S. President Obama recently stated that Christianity was not a peaceful religion because of the Crusades and Inquisition.

This man and too many other Westerners are willfully and completely oblivious or ignorant of the history of Islam.

The history starts with the founder and conqueror called prophet Muhammad!

Islams many attacks over centuries on Europe: Spain, Malta, Rome, Constantinople, Vienna ...

Islamic conquest of North Africa, Egypt, Israel, Jerusalem ...

How about the brutal Mongolian conqueror Tamerlane

And so on and so on

This is a stark reminder that government run public education in Western countries is of awfully low quality. We need more history lessons on the curriculum!
