DHIMMITUDE!!!!!!
So here we are again, a dazed planet brushing ourselves off and surveying the wreckage from the worst spree of Islamic-inspired rioting, bombing, murder, & mayhem........well, since the last one, AND the one before that, AND the one before that!
This latest one is still ongoing and is over offensive cartoons published by an obscure Danish newspaper.
That's a step down from the tall tales about Qu'ran flushing in a Guantanamo toilet. Not to mention the one over infidel troops stationed (to protect muzzies) in the land of the 2 holy mosques, and the one over the occupation of Iraq & Aphganistan, and the one over the protocols of the Elders of Zion, and the one over the crusades, and the one over that time in 680 A.D. when some scion of monkeys & pigs allegedly spied a bare ankle under someone's sisters wind-swept robe.
Well you get the idea!
The cartoon caper, though, should have been quite eye opening, as it proves once and for all that the contemporary vision of "moderate Islam" as a meaningful force for good is a complete mirage.
Certainly there are moderate muslim individuals. Large pockets of them, here & there, who have assimilated to the modern world & want only to live in peace.
BUT many of the people we call "moderates" are flat out phonies, the bag-men who rise on the shoulders of the leg-breakers.
The authentic moderates, meanwhile, tarry in muted silence to the domineering strain of their faith (or they themselves would suffer the wrath being laid upon the rest of right now).
The domineering strain we like to tell ourselves is a mere fringe element of Islam.
The strain that has just managed, yet again, to unleash untold thousands (not handfuls of militants, but transcontinental thousands) to maraud over a trifling affront__cartoons.
The moderates must carry on by pretending, much like the state department pretends, that the commands of their scriptures__ towards brutality, beheadings, conquest, death to unbelievers, eternal damnation to apostates, the subjugation of women, the dehumanizing of non-muslims, and so on__ either do not exist or have somehow been superseded or "hijacked" by a few zealots.
Meanwhile, as we prepare to spend yet another $120 BILLION on a novel brand of democracy building__ one which establishes Islam as Iraq's state religion and enshrines the inequities of sharia as a source & measure of it fundamental laws__ our wildly premature birthing of the Palestinian "democracy" has just resulted in the rise to power of Hamas, an entity the US officially designates as a terrorist organization.
(To be fair, it's competition was Fatah, an entity successive US administrations spent the last dozen years or so deluding themselves was not a terrorist organization).
This latest Palestinian election result means that if American citizens did what our own government is right now continuing to do__ namely, contributing funds we well know Hamas will soon be controlling__ they would be indicted under our own anti-terrorism laws.
There are, as we speak, several defendants under such indictments in this country.
All of this intellectual & moral confusion__ the disintegration of the Bush doctrine, the compromising of our conception of democracy, the strange deference to charlatans spewing seventh century venom, the pressure on our government to violate the very laws it enacted to choke off funding that underwrites our enemies' butchery__
and all of it based on a single conceit:
That there is a fluerishing moderate Islam. One worth looking beyond all the menacing verses & countless atrocities in order to find!!
Ok, where is it???
Where is this "moderate Islam" that my media and my government, and my liberals keep telling me exists???
Where is this "moderate Islam" that the other western world leaders and media keep telling me exists???
Where is this "moderate Islam" that muslims all over the world keep telling me exists???
WHERE THE HELL IS IT ????!!!!!!
Or the more important question is.....
WHEN ARE THE REST OF US, THE ONES WHO UNDERSTAND THE REAL ISLAM, GOING TO STAND UP AND BE COUNTED?????
If this intellectual & moral "confusion" continues to be allowed we all have the following to look forward to............
"dhimmitude" - the relegation of non-muslims, in the muslim world, to the subordinate social postion of "dhimmi".
"dhimmi" - individuals who have NO rights and who are tolerated as long as they behave obsequiously and accept their inferior status!!!
This is where political correctness is leading us!!!!!
