Why Cars and Knives Are Spontaneously Killing Christians in Europe

Probing a Scientific Mystery

Europe’s inanimate objects are subject to cultural oppression.

For decades, European cars have suffered under the social power structure entrenched by toxically masculine American vehicles, such as the Chevy Silverado, Jeep Wrangler, and the Dodge Ram 1500. (The supercharged Hemi V8 is particularly paternalistic.) The European cars’ petite footprint, stick shift operation, and effete orientation formed accretions of identity traits that precipitate the maltreatment.

In these trying times, European cars find themselves on the same intersectional tree branch with an unexpected limb partner: the European knife. Kitchen knives, pocketknives, butter knives, and even Swiss Army knives have all been at the pointy end of a variety of utensil biases.

These victims of external determinism are reaching the end of their patience, as cars and knives have become increasingly volatile in the Old Continent. The grinding gears of social privilege have driven them to lash out in various ways over the last several years. For instance, consider these headlines:

• “Car rams two police motorcyclists in Paris suburb – police” – Yahoo, April 27, 2020
• “On New Year’s Eve, 2 injured in knife attack in Berlin” – FirstPost, January 1, 2025
  
• “Car drives into crowd in Munich, Germany, wounding 30” – CBS News, February 13, 2025
• “Austria stabbing: One dead, four injured in knife attack” – NZ Herald, February 15, 2025
  

Bizarrely, there hasn’t been a single vehicular arrest. No blades have been detained.

The Fable Could Continue

While many mainstream media headlines delicately position knives and cars as causal antagonists, these material objects obviously require the laws of physics in order to move. Without human-directed force, they are merely static clumps of inanimate matter as guilty of intent as the floor tiles that bruised Mitch McConnell’s noggin.

When the headlines blame the knives and cars instead of the people who controlled them, you can be sure that reporters are trying to control you. They misdirect the reader’s attention from the real thread that binds the human motivation behind these crimes.

If you don’t blame the inanimate objects, they want you to see the crimes as fruits of conflict, poverty, and lack of technological advancement in the Middle Eastern Islamic nations — which in turn they blame on Western discrimination and colonialism. They don’t want you to see that the acts of violence follow a pattern — a human one.

The Lunatics Are Running the Asylum-Seekers

One such example of “mind games with words” was on display after a deadly terrorist attack last week in Austria by a Syrian “asylum-seeker.” The word “asylum” conjures up the image of some downhearted soul escaping a despotic regime. The word “seeker” is just the bonus imagery implying that this pitiable person is still pursuing safety.

Never mind that the Syrian attacker sat grinning in the aftermath of his slaughter while pointing one finger in the air — a symbolic gesture that affirms the Islamic faith.

A Syrian asylum seeker stabs 5 people, killing a 14-year-old boy.

Witnesses say he shouted “Allahu Akbar”

The fatal attack happened in the centre of Villach, Austria

During his arrest, he showed no remorse & was seen smiling & laughing.

Of course there are probably thousands of people in Europe who are actually escaping the squalid trappings of Islamic hegemony and want nothing to do with fundamentalism. Nonetheless, an objective study of history illustrates that the patterns of Muslim violence have been recorded over more than 1,300 years, ever since indigenous Middle Eastern and North African Christians were overrun by jihadis.

Unfortunately, history and actual facts won’t stop Liberals from screeching “Islamophobe!” anytime someone accurately reports the facts instead of blaming them on inanimate objects. As if any of us blamed all Muslims living in the West, including the peaceful ones. But playing mind games with the presence and the rise of fundamentalist Islam in Europe by twisting language into Orwellian knots leaves us uninformed and unsafe.

We Are Not Immune

After four years of open borders and record numbers of arrestees from terrorist watchlists, we in the U.S. have to understand that we are no more immune from these types of attacks on our soil than Europeans are on theirs. The bought-and-paid-for American propaganda media complex will certainly borrow from their European cosecularists.

Don’t believe me? Then remember this story:

“Multiple dead on New Orleans’ Bourbon Street after car drives into crowd, was the title of the story that NBC News ran to describe the New Year’s Day terrorist attack in New Orleans, as if the tragedy was caused by an autonomous vehicle.

Let us not get too comfortable in thinking that the anti-Christian secularists are running for the hills.

These are certainly times to pray for discernment.
