Dhim·mi
(dîm-mî
or zîm-mî) - An Islamic term that refers to a subjugated non-Muslim
person living in a Muslim society. Second-class status is confirmed by the
legal system and dhimmis do not share the rights of their Muslim rulers.
Dhim·wit (dïm-wît)
- A non-Muslim member of a free society that abets the stated cause of Islamic
domination with remarkable gullibility and creativity. A dhimwit is always quick to
extend sympathy to the very enemy that would take away his or her own freedom
(or life) if given the opportunity.
December 2008 Dhimwit:
The Washington Post

Nixon should have converted to Islam
Islam's most significant contribution
to 2008 was probably the terror attacks in Mumbai, India, in which a dozen
Pakistani-trained gunmen managed to massacre members of every other major world
faith in one fell swoop, including Buddhists, Christians, Jews and a whole lot
of Hindus.
But of all the bloody stories to come
out of the incident, perhaps none were worse than the rape, torture, murder and
mutilation of innocents at the Chabad House, including the rabbi and his family.
In a city of 18 million, it is wildly improbable that the handful of Jews there
were chosen at random.
Despite the religious declaration of
the surviving gunman and the claims of responsibility for the violence by the
Mujahideen, giving credit to Allah, the New York Times predictably refused to
call the mass murder spree an act of Islamic terror. The BBC even took it
a step further by actually declining to label the gunmen as terrorists (stopping
just short of calling them community activists, apparently).
Clearing Islam of blame in
circumstances such as these is certainly the stuff of which Dhimwits are made.
Yet, the Washington Post managed to outdo both the NY Times and the BBC by
blaming Jews for the carnage (along with the US and India):
The Mumbai Massacre: Caused by the Jews
Just as Muslim organizations such as
CAIR and MPAC-UK notoriously exploit acts of terror against the West to further
the same Islamic goals as the terrorists, the Washington Post is using tragedy
to push a pre-existing political agenda. It is both crude and
astonishingly inappropriate in this particular case.
Neither Israel, the United States nor
India has a policy of doing deliberate harm to innocent people. Security
forces from all three countries, which have seen their own civilians unfairly
targeted in the name of Islam, have routinely laid down their lives to protect
Muslim civilians from Muslim terrorists.
Neither are Muslims being persecuted
in the West. In fact, they are constantly trying to gain entry into Israel
and the United States as "immigrants," where they know they would enjoy a better
life than would be possible anywhere in the Islamic world. Even the
Muslims of India are tired of being used as an excuse for terrorism and are
demanding that Pakistan destroy the terror training camps.
If misplaced blame and fantastic tales
of Muslim persecution are what is really transforming ordinary devotees into
mass murderers, then shouldn't media outlets like the Washington Post be
dispelling the paranoia and false rumors rather than feeding them?
November 2008 Dhimwit:
Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran

Holy Qur'ap!
Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, the
Vatican's interfaith contacts department head, is gushing with praise for the
Islamic invasion of Europe (in a different sort of way than his Christian
predecessors generally gushed during prior Muslim incursions, which was in
blood).
Oh, don't worry. Everything's gonna' be alright this time around, according to
the Cardinal, because this time they're bringing God with them.
"Muslims, having become a significant minority in Europe, were the ones who
demanded space for God in society," he
tells
us, in applauding Muslim immigration.
Well, there's a relief. No... wait a minute... did he say God?
No, no. With respect to the Cardinal (and who wouldn't respect a man that
lives on handouts) it's not actually God that Muslims are making demands on
behalf of -
it's Allah. And Allah is quite different from God, at least
according to His alleged word.
Just start with the basics. Whereas the God of the Bible loves everyone,
Allah's love is entirely conditional. According to the Qur'an, Allah
really, really
hates
anyone who doesn't believe Muhammad's claims about Muhammad. So hateful is
Allah for infidels, in fact, that it isn't terribly difficult to guess why most
of the Muslim world doesn't exactly lose sleep over Islamic terrorism.
Another way to distinguish between God and Allah is traffic flow.
Citizens of countries that worship Allah generally jump at the first opportunity
to leave. Then they tell their new countries (those without Allah) that
they will be tortured or deprived of their human rights in some way if they have
to sent back.
So, the Cardinal might want to leave the champagne corked for the time being.
Just because devout Muslims have a long history of forcing religion down the
throat of secularists doesn't mean that a Muslim Europe is going to be a good
thing for members of his own faith - or anyone else for that matter.

Jacques Barrot

Jacques Barrot orders up another round of Islam for Europe
Once there will have been a place
called Europe. Maybe it will still be called Europe in the future, but it
will not be the same as what we know today.
Instead of being a bastion of Western
liberal values, Future Europe will have gone through decades of increasingly
violent internal strife until finally the values of 7th century Islam emerge in
triumph in what was once the cradle of modern enlightenment.
With Islam's victory, of course, will
come the civil repression, economic decline, and cultural stagnation that
distinguishes the Muslim world of today. The continent that successfully
fended off Muslim armies long enough to give humanity the greatest advancements
in science, medicine and liberty will slip sadly beneath the waves of theocratic
dogma.
Just as they do today, the Muslims of
Future Europe will try to immigrate from their own countries to those areas of
the globe where Islam isn't in dominance, never once pondering why it is that
their perfect religion is incapable building societies in which they themselves
want to live.
It is at this point that the
marginalized infidels of Future Europe, the tragic heirs of today's
multicultural gunslingers, will look back in utter astonishment at those
responsible for squandering their quality of life and freedom and wonder... why?
Unfortunately for them, the
Jacques Barrots of the world, the leaders who gamble away their people's future
in pursuit of impractical ideals, will no longer be around to answer for their
personal legacy of blood and tears.
Islamic immigration is an
irreversible experiment with catastrophic social consequences. It is the
beginning of the end for Europe.
Jacques Barrot - "Islam
is Welcome. Immigration is a Moral Necessity."
September 2008 Dhimwit:
Ms. Sally Lopez

Sally Lopez survives her brush with reality.
Our dhimwit nominees are usually
chosen from the ranks of misguided government officials or public celebrities.
Occasionally, however, an "ordinary" person comes along who just can't be
ignored. This month, Sally Lopez of Lemoyne, Pennsylvania is that
individual - and we're pretty sure that she will appreciate the attention.
Here's a question, let's say
that you get something through the mail with which you disagree... a political
advertisement or commercial propaganda, for example. What would you do next?
Well, most truly "ordinary" people
would simply throw it away and forget about it. A few might actually write
the sender to have themselves taken off the mailing list or perhaps send back
their own
opinion in less-than-tactful fashion.
But it takes a special kind of person
(or at least someone
who thinks they are special) to call up the local newspaper and request a photographer.
And this is exactly what Ms. Sally Lopez did when she
found a copy of the anti-Jihad DVD,
Obsession: Radical Islam's War against the West, in her mailbox.
According to the Patriot News
article:
Lopez said she was
offended by the DVD.... "My thing is, I'm not stupid. There are definitely
radical Islamic cells all over the world, but we also have the Aryan Nation, the
[Ku Klux Klan], all kinds of hate groups out there. They're just
instilling fear in us. I'm tired of living in fear."
The poor dear is offended that
someone is trying to warn her about Islam and its merry band of sociopaths.
Why? Well, the reasoning is a bit sketchy. It seems that there are
other hate groups out there as well, so there's no point in hearing
about the only one that happens to be piling up dead bodies by the hour...
At this point, it's probably
understandable why Ms. Lopez felt it necessary to tell us that she isn't
stupid. She may very well be the sort of woman who skips regular breast
examinations because there are "all kinds" of other things that can kill you.
(But don't call her stupid).
Our guess is that she did not watch
the DVD and knows little about it outside of the title and description For one thing,
Obsession is a wonderful documentary that justifies itself. Then
there's the small matter of the fact that the envelope (which appears unopened
in the picture) wasn't really addressed to her.
Did we forget to mention that?
Yes, actually the DVD was mailed to her daughter's husband, who isn't
even living in
the house. Ms. Lopez is apparently every man's nightmare - the
mother-in-law who makes the business of others her own and doesn't seem to care
if the world knows it.
Of course, it isn't the content of the
DVD that upsets this woman, despite her contrived indignation. Like other
sanctimonious types, Ms. Lopez is simply anxious that others understand what a
tolerant and generous soul she is, so willing to accept people of other
religions and defend them from offense. (Perhaps her son-in-law should
consider converting).
At the end of the day, our
nomination of Sally Lopez is really more of an indictment of the many people in
the West who are too consumed by self-righteousness to pay attention to what the
Qur'an says about them and their way of life. For now, they can afford
this state of blissful ignorance...
Their children probably won't
have the luxury.
August 2008 Dhimwit:
The Government of India

Hindus are tired of getting burned by the Religion of Peace.
It might surprise some to learn
that India has the world's second largest population of Muslims. Given
this, however, it probably surprises no one that the predominately Muslim
regions of the country are marked by constant demand, violence, and economic
drain.
For sure,
most of the Muslims who live in the Kashmir region would prefer to get on with
their lives, which certainly have more potential in the world's largest secular
democracy than they would across the border in Islamic Pakistan. But,
wherever there is Islam, there is radicalism and the persistent unwillingness to
accept anything short of Islamic hegemony.
In the last 15
years, over 100,000 people have lost their lives to the low-wage terror campaign
sponsored openly by Pakistani intelligence. Most of the victims have been
Muslims killed by the Islamists for collaborating with "the enemy" (ie. their own government),
but there have been brutal religious cleansing campaigns in which peaceful Hindu
pilgrims, families, and sometimes whole villages have been wiped out in
barbaric
fashion by Allah's Holy Warriors. High-profile Mujahideen bombings against
ordinary citizens living elsewhere in India also
occur from time to time,
leaving a trail of death and heartache.
Historically,
Islam's brush with other culture is always punctuated by periods of casual
genocide. Even as late as 1990 some 350,000 Hindu Pandit survivors were
evicted from the
land of their ancestors and forced to seek refuge outside of Kashmir. Unlike the
Palestinian cause, there are no international tears shed for this extremely
gentle group of refugees, since the Pandits have chosen to accept their plight
with dignity, rather than petulance and violent retaliation.
Despite meting
out a constant stream of self-defeating misery, India's growing Muslim minority
can be likened to a spoiled brat, constantly demanding special
privilege and lashing out in anger when it does not get its way.
And yet, the
Muslims of India are given special status by the ostensibly secular
government, which bends over backwards to accommodate the endless demands with a
steady series of unrequited concessions.
The latest
example occurred this past month when the government attempted to allocate a few
acres of forest land to shelters for Hindu pilgrims traveling to their
traditional shrines in Kashmir. The shrines existed well before Muslim
armies began their
massacre of 80 million of the original Hindu and Buddhist
residents some 1000 years ago. Still, this small measure resulted in the
typical Muslim temper tantrum, in which people and property are abused in the
name of Allah. The government quickly caved to the bigotry.
So much more
could be written about the government's remarkable unwillingness to admit that
co-existence with Islam is a
failed
experiment. Unfortunately, there will be many more chapters to come -
all of which will be written with the blood of innocents.
July 2008 Dhimwit:
Britain's Chief Justice Lord Phillips

Pithy comment withheld out of respect for our British readers.
(Sure hope you chaps appreciate this, because it was a good one.)
Given that
it is the model for every country that immigrants are currently trying to
get into (by hook or by crook), one might wonder what is so wrong with the British legal
system
as to require augmentation. The answer, according to the country's chief
justice, is that it isn't Islamic enough.
Muslims in
the UK are demanding a parallel legal system based on Sharia (Islamic law) and
dhimwits like Lord Phillips seem
eager to accommodate them, even though it means
irreversibly opening the door to a backward and tragic set of rules and
penalties that carry divine sanction.
Rather
than legitimizing Islamic law, British leaders should be pointing out the
obvious: it doesn't work. In fact, this is why Muslims flee to the
West in the first place. It is no coincidence that countries with Sharia
(or even Muslim majorities) have some of the worst records of human rights
abuse, social repression and economic stagnation.
Instead of
importing the sort of religious dysfunction that is clearly antithetical to
progress, the British should be exporting those Muslims who want to live under Sharia.
What Part of Muslim Theocracy Does this Man Not Understand?
June 2008 Dhimwit:
Tampa-Hillsborough County Human Rights Council

Human rights never looked so glamorous.
According
to its charter, the
Tampa-Hillsborough County Human Rights Council in Florida bills itself as "an
organization that brings together citizens of various backgrounds. They all have
one thing in common: a desire to promote the human rights of all individuals, as
outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United
Nations in 1948."
One might
therefore assume that the group would be somewhat at odds with the spread of
Islamic supremacy. After all, from slavery to women's rights, Islam is in such stark contradiction to the
1948 Declaration of Human Rights that Muslim nations actually had to create
their own "declaration" a few years back just to avoid signing the real version.
Gone, for example, were the Freedom of Conscience clauses that are fundamentally incompatible
with the Islamic mandate to kill apostates and deny other religions rights
explicitly reserved for Muslims.
In 2006,
however, the Tampa Council was charmed by local snake-oil salesman Ahmed Bedier, a
spokesperson for the notorious Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
The stocky, Egyptian-born Bedier, who has openly defended both Islamic
terrorists and Islamic bigotry, somehow scored the 2006 "human rights" award
(although having to share it with the local sheriff).
At the
time, Bedier's organization was openly advocating discriminatory practices against
religious minorities in Muslim countries through a fatwa by CAIR's own Jamal Badawi. Badawi appeared in an interview with Bedier (posted on the
latter's website) in which he affirmed physical discipline as a legitimate means
of keeping wives in line, as well as laying down the rule that Muslim women are
forbidden to marry non-Muslims.
[Note: the
video-taped interview is also notable for Bedier's initial inability to recall a
single hate crime committed by a Muslim on American soil... and this only three
years after the massacre of 3,000 innocents on 9/11!]
Ahmed Bedier has defended practically any
fellow Muslim with a complaint
against his adopted country. This recently included two Egyptian college
students arrested in South Carolina with explosives. Bedier thunderously insisted that they were victims of racial
profiling... prior to their confessions, that is, though he has yet to
apologize.
Of course,
Bedier's concern for true victims of bigotry and human rights abuse never extends to Christians,
journalists, and
others suffering horribly at the hands of Muslims in his native Egypt.
The man who describes himself as an "expert on Islam, media relations, civil
rights, hate crime and the mideast" is remarkably tolerant of
rape,
kidnapping,
torture and
murder, provided that it is Muslims who are responsible (and preferably that
the victims are
non-Muslim
or
homosexual).
Bedier's
sole interest in life seems to be the propagation of his own religion and
the furthering his own identity group. To this end, he has actually spoken
well of the Palestinian terrorist groups, Islamic Jihad and Hamas, which have
deliberately inflicted barbaric atrocities on innocent Israelis. He has
even spent much of his time going to bat for Sami al-Arian, who is not only a
convicted terrorist, but also
insists that the
Jews are "cursed" and "made into apes and pigs."
Needless
to say, we can hardly think of a less appropriate choice for a human rights
award recipient than Ahmed Bedier, but, as mentioned, the
Tampa-Hillsborough County Human Rights Council doesn't appear to set the bar
very high (assuming they even have one).
And if
this wasn't enough to make the organization utterly meaningless, guess who is
now serving as its president? It's none other than Ahmed Bedier himself...
arrogant, unrepentant and (we assume) fully intent on using the new title to
further the Islamic agenda.
Are you
kidding us?
May 2008 Dhimwit:
Ken Livingstone

Dear god, Man! Just recite the Shahada and get it over with already...
In
retrospect, pandering to votes that he already had wasn't the best campaign
strategy for Ken Livingstone, who lost London's mayoral race to Conservative
rival, Boris Johnson, in a shocking defeat that certainly caught us by surprise.
By any
sane measure, the reign of Ken Livingstone was an unmitigated disaster.
Government expenditures nearly tripled under his 8-year watch while taxes
skyrocketed. Even the cost of public transit grew from about $3 to over
$8, while London commuters enjoyed rising congestion with less reliability.
Although
making social issues his top priority, violent crime in the city rose 17% during
Livingstone's term, while London's unemployment rate climbed steadily to well
over the national average. The self-described Socialist even
accomplished something rarely seen in the contemporary West - a sharp increase
in the rate of child poverty.
At the personal level, the narcissistic mayor often made a spectacle of himself with
sanctimonious tirades and anti-Semitic rants. Livingstone famously insulted a
Jewish reporter by likening him to a Nazi concentration camp guard - even after
being told that the other was offended by the insinuation. Not
surprisingly, anti-Jewish hate crime made a strong comeback during his years in office.
This
appears not to have bothered Livingstone one bit. His most loyal bloc of
voters were Muslim, and he spent part of his time playing Dhimmi dress-up (see
picture) and openly fraternizing
with avowed terrorist supporters such as Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi.
Naturally, Muslim peevishness soared during his years in office, particularly as
the mayor did his best to minimize integration incentives.
Unfortunately for Mr.
Livingstone, Muslims only make up 10% of the city's voting populace and it
appears that not all Londoners were quite that enamored with his groveling.
Perhaps he will take solace in the fact that he is leaving a legacy... albeit in
the form of petulant group of Muslim whiners whose demands will only get worse,
particularly as they discover that future administrations are not as eager to
sell out Western values for votes.
April 2008 Dhimwit:
John Esposito

"Show me the money!"
John
Esposito is a name unfamiliar to many, but there are few people on the planet
more deserving of general Dhimwit honors than this Catholic apologist for Islam,
who is currently on the Saudi payroll at Georgetown University.
Technically, Esposito is the founding director of the "Prince Alwaleed bin Talal
Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding," which already tells you a lot about
the man. Anyone with a decent set would have long told the Saudis just how
pathetic this guise of religious tolerance really is, when they won't even allow
churches on their own soil.
As for
Esposito, just two years
before 9/11, the second edition of his book “The Islamic Threat: Myth or
Reality?” was published. In it, the professor told a primarily American
audience that the threat of Islamic extremism is overblown and that they
actually have nothing to fear from the Religion of Peace.
Only in
academia can being so fantastically wrong about something of such tragic
significance actually be a boost to one’s career. Inexplicably, John Esposito
found his profile enhanced by the loss of thousands of innocent lives and has
since devoted himself to trying to convince Americans that they are the
real bigots. (This evidently delights his Muslim handlers, who find in his
writings yet another excuse to put off introspection and reform).
This month,
Esposito is promoting his new book “Who Speaks for Islam? What a Billion
Muslims Really Think.” Not surprisingly, it is Esposito himself who speaks
for Islam and, as such, the voice of a ‘billion Muslims’ sounds remarkably
similar to his own. In fact, when it comes to U.S. foreign policy, Western
values and the superiority of Islam, the resemblance between Esposito’s personal
views and that of a “billion Muslims’ is downright uncanny.
Esposito
bases his new book on Gallup polling, which has an objective ring to it at first
– up until one discovers that the “Senior Scientist” on the cited Gallup project
is none other than Esposito himself. Having the ability to influence the
wording of survey questions yields some rather curious findings, such as the
claim that Americans are three times more likely to support the killing
of innocent people than are the Iranians, whose country pioneered suicide
bombings and whose religion fuels over a thousand deadly attacks on civilians
each year.
As with his
earlier (pre-9/11) effort, “What a Billion Muslims Really Think” is
designed to play on Western tastes and convince readers that they have no reason
to be concerned about an ideology with an explicit agenda of political and
cultural dominance. Toward this end, Esposito either glosses over or ignores
inconvenient details that might otherwise alarm anyone who is mindful of Islam’s
irreversible creep into the West.
For
example, the professor makes much of the finding that two out of three Muslims
believe that the 9/11 attacks are “morally unjustifiable.” That a third of all
Muslims (almost a half billion people) say they agree to some extent with the
carnage seems to be of trivial concern to him. Esposito also fails to mention
the rather critical detail that only 18% of all Muslims believe Muslims were
really responsible for 9/11! Who or what then, are they really condemning?
Many other
natural questions go unanswered in the book. Why do more Muslims oppose the
U.S. action in Afghanistan, for example, than they did the brutal attack on New
Yorkers and others which prompted it? If Muslims are so opposed to religious
extremism, then why do less than 1 in 10 support the overthrow of the Taliban?
If Muslims place such a high value on the lives of others, then where is the
outrage when such attacks occur? Why hasn’t Osama bin Laden been burned in
effigy?
At the end
of the day, “What a Billion Muslims Really Think” is really just an
exercise in illusion – a parlor trick to fool readers into thinking that they do
not see what they see.
By stacking survey
questions so as to yield preferred results, Esposito
has the advantage of creating
the very data to which he then refers.
Even the
overall sampling is somewhat suspect. Esposito claims that his modeling method
represents “90% of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims,” which is both patently
absurd and a glaring indication of the manipulation taking place behind the
scenes. How is it possible to “include” 1.2 billion people while “excluding”
130 million others? Who is really being “excluded” when a contrived survey
sample of a few thousand is said to be representative of over a billion other
people?
Each day,
dozens of innocents are murdered explicitly in the name of Islam somewhere in
the world, yet in all of the forty countries that lost citizens on 9/11, only
one Muslim was killed by one person in revenge for the slaughter on that day.
What explains Islam's violent temper? In the Sudan, over a million Christians
have lost their lives to a Jihad-minded government that has also displaced
millions more from their homes – yet sympathy in the Muslim world is reserved
only for Palestinians. What explains Islam's astonishing self-absorption and
lack of human empathy?
Hundreds of
Westerners have lost their lives on their own soil to Islamic terror in the
years since 9/11. Millions of Muslims overseas celebrated the attacks that day
and continue to openly support the thousands of other Muslims who are as
determined as ever to commit mass murder in accordance with Qur’an’s expressed
hatred for those outside the faith, even as the West sacrifices cherished values
to accommodate mass numbers of Muslim immigrants whose gratitude is as weak as
their sense of entitlement is conspicuous.
Yet, along
comes Professor John Esposito to tell us that it is Westerners who have the
tolerance problem.
The Saudis
have definitely bought their man.

March 2008 Dhimwit:
Network Solutions

The Internet for Dhimmis.
This month we were going to nominate
Sally Kern, the judgment-impaired Oklahoma representative who said that the
"homosexual agenda" is a bigger threat than Islam. (We have to give Ms.
Kern a few points for originality, however, since homosexuality and Islam are
almost never mentioned in the same sentence unless it is to report the lashing
or hanging of the former by the latter for the crime of having a private life).
At the last minute, however, another
American entity swooped in to save Ms. Kern's bacon.
Network Solutions is one of the
world's prominent Internet services firm. Apparently they are also in the
sensitivity business, which is why they suspended the "Fitna the Movie"
website, the venue of choice for Geert Wilder's 15-minute film that (ironically
enough) warns of Islam's threat to Western freedom.
It wasn't that the company had
actually seen the movie, which they admitted they had not, but rather
that they had been getting complaints from Muslims, who... uh... also had not
seen the movie.
So, in effect, Network Solutions
banned the site on the mere probability that the content would offend Muslims
and not on the basis of whether there is anything in the presentation that is
actually libelous. (In fact, nearly every word in the film comes from the
mouth of a Muslim).
Interestingly, Network Solutions had
no qualms about hosting the Hamas and Hezbollah
websites for the brazen terrorist groups that have slaughtered hundreds of Jews
and Christians. Neither do they mind hosting Islam-Online, an
Islamic propaganda site that advocates Sharia and has a pronounced anti-Semitic
bent (in other words, what passes for moderate Islam these days).
One might think there would be a bit
of offense involved there as well... but apparently Jews and Christians aren't
racking up enough dead bodies in the name of their god for their opinion to
register on Network Solutions' sensitivity scale. The new rule is that if
you want your religion to have respect, then you have to be willing to kill
anyone refusing to begrudge it.
Message received, as far as Network
Solutions is concerned. Muslims now know that critical viewpoints can by
blocked from the Internet by intimidation and complaint, so you can bet that
there will be plenty more of that.
More importantly, thanks to craven
Dhimwits like Network Solutions, who wet their pants at the first sign of
trouble, the criteria of censorship has become offense
rather than falsehood. If the truth offends (which is nearly always the
case with Islam), then it will be suppressed.
Get ready for a brave, new world.
February 2008 Dhimwit:
Rowan Williams

Anglican Archbishop Rowan Williams says its time to bring
Sharia law to Britain. Aside from Hindus, Christians, Jews, atheists,
artists, homosexuals, drinkers, intellectuals and women, we can't
possibly imagine anyone
objecting to such a sensible suggestion.
We aren’t sure what explains the
recent enthusiasm with which Anglican Church leaders been bending over to grab
their ankles when the subject turns to Islam. From John Pritchard, the Bishop of Oxford, who
wants to hear
the Islamic call to prayer echoing across the English
countryside from loudspeakers, to Chaplain Philip Gray, who actually
compared the 7/7 bombers to
Jesus, Anglican clergy are clearly intent on reducing their religion to minority
status.
Now, Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, has
momentarily outdone the others by proposing that “elements” of Sharia (Islamic law) be allowed to operate
independently of British law as a means of placating the restless UK Muslim population.
Presumably he is not speaking of the portions that call for the beheading of
apostates, the beating of wives, the amputation of limbs, nor the stoning of homosexuals and
adulterers… but where exactly did he get the idea that Sharia is a smorgasbord?
How long does the Archbishop think
Muslims will be happy with a government that validates Islamic law, but then tells them which parts they
can and can’t practice? (We advise non-Muslim Brits to either start
greasing up early or work on that stiff upper lip, because the smart money is on
a very short honeymoon).
Rather than setting the stage for a long series of
concessions to Muslim demands, we would suggest an alternative: remind the Muslims in Britain
who want to live under Islamic law that there are places in the world where it
is practiced. No one is forcing them to live under the British system.
Now, if it sounds cruel and heartless to tell Muslims to go
raise their families in places that are characterized by civil oppression,
economic disaster and totalitarianism just so they can experience life in an
Islamic country, then, for god's sake, connect the dots! This is precisely
the case against the Muslim way.
We also have a similar
suggestion for the Archbishop: don’t drag the
rest of us down with you. If you want to live as a dhimmi, then we’ll gladly
pick up the tab on a one-way ticket to Gaza.
January 2008 Dhimwit:
Jacqui Smith

More Islam = More "Anti-Islamic activities" (by Muslims)? Hmmm...
If Dhimwit meant dimwit, then this month's nominee would probably be Republican
Mike Huckabee. While the US Presidential candidate may otherwise be a
decent person, his response to the assassination of Benazir Bhutto was downright
moronic:
"[The United States should] have an immediate, very clear monitoring of our
border, and particularly to make sure, if there's any unusual activity of
Pakistanis coming into the country."
This is wrong on so many levels that we could write a book on the subject. Needless
to say, if Bhutto's assassins were of Pakistani origin, then it was completely
incidental to their action, which was motivated by religious belief. Islam is
neither a race nor a nationality.
By coincidence, this was also the month that we were tempted to name our first
"anti-Dhimwit," who would have been the Pakistani-born Bishop of Rochester,
Michael Nazir Ali. We've been pretty tough on Anglican clergy here, and it
would have been nice to finally feature one who stands up and
speaks the politically-incorrect truth about Islam.
As it is, however, we couldn't think of a snappy name for our new category of anti-Dhimwits,
so we decided to stick with tradition.
Our nominee this month is British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, who is apparently
also a professional theologian. Ms. Smith made the
breakthrough discovery that Muslim terrorists are acting contrary to their
Islamic faith, thus compelling her to officially re-dub terror attacks as
"anti-Islamic activities." (We thought this was a joke at
first).
Obviously this is a cynical attempt to pander to the fast-growing Muslim
community in Britain, which is notably less than cooperative in the battle
against, uh… anti-Islamic activities. This is where Smith makes Huckabee look like a
genius, since even he can probably tell that if these 'activities' were really so
hostile to Islam, then such pandering wouldn't be necessary because British
Muslims would be leading the fight to defend their own religion.
Neither is it terribly difficult to figure out that relieving the Muslim
community of responsibility for Islamic terrorism merely reduces the incentive
for participation and reform. It also lowers the natural defenses of the native
British population, which is encouraged to hit the snooze button while its leaders continue
paying Muslim immigrants to colonize the country.
So what used to be known as Islamic terrorism will now be called "anti-Islamic
activity." It isn't exactly clear how long this Orwellian
doublespeak is tolerated before it becomes painfully obvious that "anti-Islamic
activity" by Muslim terrorists corresponds proportionately to increasing Islamic influence, although, with
leaders like Jacqui Smith at the helm, it probably won't make much of a difference
anyway.
