From Incerto: The Most Intolerant Wins: The Dictatorship of the Small Minority
by Nassim Nicolas Taleb
Who is responsible for the fire in Notre Dame Cathedral?
Is it, as the early official line says, an accident set off by a construction worker?
Is it, as some other early reports suggest, arson started in two locations?
Is there another explanation?
Our view is the authorities are not trustworthy to release all relevant information on this tragic event. We do know from past attacks that Jihadists do not give up if the first attempt fails, as we saw after the initial the attack on the World Trade Center in New York in February 1993. Indeed, if there is a jihadist link, they may very well cover up the evidence as it is not convenient to the "enlightened" liberal political mind. Already there have been newspaper articles claiming the evil "far right" will use this event to "keep Europe white" and other such drivel. It seems to us that the truth is very difficult to discern as newspapers and television media participate in keeping the diversification narrative going no matter what.
Regardless of who is to blame for this terrible event, it highlights what a poison liberalism is with its intolerance of any view other than the politically correct one. Islam has clearly made inroads into Europe deeper than ever before, and its own intolerant view of others religions is only just beginning to be known. As Nassim Taleb, who is from Lebanon, points out, an intolerant and stubborn minority can control and ultimately destroy democracy. Functional democracy depends on tolerance of other views, which both Islam and Marxism deny.

Yes, an intolerant minority can control and destroy democracy. Actually, as we saw, it will eventually destroy our world.
So, we need to be more than intolerant with some intolerant minorities. It is not permissible to use “American values” or “Western principles” in treating intolerant Salafism (which denies other peoples’ right to have their own religion). The West is currently in the process of committing suicide.
Woman charged over failed terror attack on Notre Dame in Paris
Sept 11, 2016
A 29-year-old woman has been charged over a failed jihadist attack near Paris’s Notre Dame cathedral as French politicians continue to argue about how to deal with the country’s severe terror threat.My view:
The woman, named as Ornella G, was linked to a women’s terror “commando” that the Paris prosecutor said was guided by Islamic State from Syria. Several women have been arrested in France in recent days as police believed a cell was about to attack Paris’s Gare de Lyon station, days after trying to blow up a car near Notre Dame.
The commando – including a 23-year-old woman who had been engaged at different times to two French extremists who carried out attacks this summer – illustrated how extensive new terror cells have been able to form in France since the November attacks that killed 130 in Paris last year. A 15-year-old boy was also arrested and questioned at the weekend over links to the failed plot.
