Islamization of Switzerland > Islamic penchant for knife violence causes redesign of Swiss Army Knife - with no knife!

 

Islam is changing Europe, sometimes in obvious ways like child rapes, gang rapes, drug gangs, violence, education, etc. But it also makes subtle changes like causing people to fear things they have never feared before, and turning Europe back to its antisemitic attitudes from Nazi days. 

The removal of the knife from the iconic Swiss Army Knife is another consequence of knife violence perpetrated mostly by Muslim gangs and terrorists. It's not such a big deal except that it is a powerful sign of the degredation of European society since it opened its borders to unvetted, violent people.

New Swiss Army Knife model to eliminate the knife

By Sheri Walsh

May 8 (UPI) -- The maker of the Swiss Army Knife is taking the knife out of the century-old pocket tool's latest model due to weapons regulations around the world.

"We are in the early stages of developing pocket tools without blades," a spokesperson for Swiss firm Victorinox told CNN in a statement Tuesday.

"In some markets, the blade creates an image of a weapon," Victorinox chief executive officer Carl Elsener told Swiss newspaper Blick. "We're concerned about the increasing regulation of knives due to the violence in the world."

Elsener said sales of the company's Swiss Army Knife plummeted by more than 30% after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States.

"9/11 painfully showed us that we must not become dependent on a single business area," he said, adding that other countries restrict the general public from carrying pocket knives.

And it only took 23 years to figure that out? Isn't it more likely that scenes of Muslim jihadists beheading Christians and other people are a more effective damper on your business. But, of course, we can't say that out loud.

"In England and certain Asian countries, you are sometimes only allowed to carry a knife if you need to have it to do your job or operate outdoors," Elsener said. "In the city, however, when you go to school, to the cinema or to go shopping, carrying pocket knives is severely restricted."

The Swiss Army Knife was created in the late 1800s for soldiers in the Swiss Army. The knives were manufactured for the general public in 1891 and will continue to be produced with blades more than 130 years later as Victorinox offers its new model without a knife, adding tools for bicyclists instead.

"We already have a tool specifically for golfers in our range," Elsener said. "Cyclists probably need special tools, but not necessarily a blade."

White House Accused of Censoring French President Mentioning ‘Islamist Terrorism’

The White House has been accused of censoring the French president at a Nuclear Security Summit press conference, after he used the term “Islamist terrorism” to describe the global threat from Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) which has roots in Syria and Iraq.

Both US President Barack Obama and French President Francois Hollande made remarks at Thursday’s meeting, which mainly focused on global terrorism. A video and transcript of the comments made were uploaded to the White House website. 

According to the Media Research Center, a self-described media watchdog with conservative leanings, the White House pulled the video shortly after publishing it online only to post it again but with some of the interpreter’s audio removed, reverting instead to Hollande’s French.

The audio in question was at the exact moment Hollande said that “Islamist terrorism, is in Syria and in Iraq,” a phrase Obama has not used, which his critics have branded as “political correctness”.

The removed comments, as per the transcript, are in bold: 

“We are also making sure that between Europe and the United States there can be a very high level coordination. But we're also well aware that the roots of terrorism, Islamist terrorism, is in Syria and in Iraq. We therefore have to act both in Syria and in Iraq, and this is what we're doing within the framework of the coalition. And we note that Daesh [Arabic name for IS] is losing ground thanks to the strikes we've been able to launch with the coalition.”

Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz told Fox News that the "administration have been sound bound up by political correctness that they have refused to acknowledge what is it is we are fighting, refused to even name it."

"After every one of these attacks, the president does a national TV conference where he refuses to say the words 'radical Islamic terrorism,'" said Cruz. "Instead he lectures Americans on Islamophobia. Well, enough is enough."

The White House have denied the accusation of censorship, however, claiming that it was due to a “technical issue with the audio during the recording of President Hollande's remarks” that “led to a brief drop in the audio recording of the English interpretation.”

An updated video with the audio restored was then posted to the White House website and YouTube channel, with both versions now online.

Many of those commenting beneath the video have not accepted the “technical issue” excuse though with one user saying the White House had been “called out” while another commented that it was “a technical issue my ass.”

“You think so little of the public's intelligence,” wrote user kobee while user Jay Dillon wrote that it was a “treasonable offense”.
