Dhimwit of the Month Honors
(or our chosen Infidel from Hell)

 
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 who unwittingly abets the stated cause of Islamic domination.  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.

Infidel from Hell (just like it sounds) - The defiant dhimmi... dangerous dhimmi... heroic heathen... principled pagan... the pain in the Ummah ass.  Someone who may or may not be an infidel in the technical sense, but threatens the imperialist goals of Islam by fearlessly speaking truth to power in an age of political correctness.
 

July 2010 Dhimwit: David Cameron


Meet the new boss... same as the old boss.

Oh, you silly Brits!  Did you think Conservatives would be any more clued in to Islam and dhimmitude than Labour?  If anything, Prime Minister David Cameron set a new land speed record in dropping to his knees (or bending over, depending on your preferred visual). 

Not content with publicly supporting Islamist-leaning Turkey's membership into the EU on a recent trip, Cameron actually took sides against Israel - stirring the pot for no apparent reason:

British PM and Turkey: Rue, Britannia!

Naturally, all the bowing and scraping to the Muslim world didn't prevent Cameron from being burned in effigy:

The "prime minister" was quickly set aflame by image-conscious Pakistanis, who were concerned about Cameron's suggestion that their country was becoming radicalized.

Guess they showed him.

 

June 2010 Dhimwit: Kenneth O'Keefe


"Bloody Ken": Our generation's Barney Fife

There could hardly be better proof of Wikipedia's dubious claim to objectivity than the fact that nearly ten times more space on the site is devoted to a small-time megalomaniac named Kenneth O'Keefe than to the massacre of 250,000 innocent Chinese civilians by the Japanese military during the senseless and brutal Zhejiang-Jiangxi campaign of 1942.

While the Japanese may have exterminated more lives than were later taken at Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined, this chapter of the human carnage they poured out on others merits only 280 words and five references on Wikipedia.  By contrast, an article on Kenneth O'Keefe, a tenacious attention seeker whose only claim to fame has been his pursuit of it, actually commands a 2,100 word article with fifty-two references.

From this and other sources we learn that O'Keefe is an American-born 41-year-old who renounced his US citizenship in 2001 and declared that he was "World Citizen #321831".  Of course, he had to wait a few years before burning his American passport, since it wasn't until 2004 that he was able to obtain an Irish one (as it turns out, World citizenship doesn't carry much weight with international border guards - at least the ones on planet Earth).  Whereas one can't be a "citizen of the world" and a citizen of the United States at the same time, apparently Irish citizenship mixes pretty well - along with that of fictitious countries, like Palestine and Hawaii, which O'Keefe also claims.

After being kicked out of the US Marines in 1991 (which his lengthy biography fails to mention, oddly enough), O'Keefe spent a lot of time trying to get noticed.  He attempted to be a "human shield" for Saddam Hussein and even pretended to be an asylum seeker from the United States.  But other than spending a lot of time on his own Wikipedia article (we suspect) and amassing more tattoos than an NBA team, there really hadn't been much in the way of actual accomplishment for Kenneth up until June of 2010.  That was when his persistent effort to be in the right place at the right time finally paid off, as he found himself aboard the notorious Mavi Marmara, the aid flotilla ship that attacked boarding Israeli commandos.

Detained by the Israelis, O'Keefe was quickly released to a roomful of cameras and sympathetic journalists - a publicity jackpot of which it seems to have had prior suspicion, as he had carefully preserved blood on his face and forehead.  While claiming that the red stuff was from a vicious beating, the "ex-Marine" showed no other effects of alleged brutality as he spun his tale for the cameras.

Although neatly forgetting that his martyrdom-hungry companions were the ones initiating the violence, Bloody Ken clearly recalled his own heroics.  The highlight of his story came when he bragged of having been "involved" in the disarming (and abduction) of two Israeli commandos, taking a pistol from one and then "separating" another from his assault rifle...

Yep, here's the thing.  One doesn't live to tell about "taking" a firearm of any sort from a trained commando unless that soldier is following orders not to use it.  If anything, Bloody Ken simply confirmed the extraordinary restraint exercised by the Israelis during the initial stages of the boarding, which agrees with video of the incident.  Given what Muslims typically do to their Israeli hostages, the real heroes were obviously the soldiers who allowed themselves to be taken captive rather than break orders not to use deadly force.

There was simply no reason for beating, stabbing and kidnapping Jewish citizens serving in uniform, as these "pacifists" were doing.  When peace activists behave like terrorists, they should be treated as such, and Israeli commanders quickly determined not to let another Munich play out once it had started.  The "martyrs'" wishes were reluctantly fulfilled by hostage rescue teams, which were less tolerant of being assaulted with iron bars, knives and captured firearms.

In the aftermath, Israel was undeservedly punished by the world press, and the YouTube video of Kenneth O'Keefe went viral.  The chest-beating nitwit finally obtained the 15 minutes of fame that he had spent 15 years chasing. 

Now, World Citizen #321821 gets to enjoy a little more from us.

 

May 2010 Dhimwit: John Brennan


Get ready to assume the position

The picture (of a girl about to get her clitoris clipped so that she'll be less likely to be unfaithful to her future husband) doesn't match the crime this month.  That's because we had the American Academy of Pediatrics neatly chosen as our Dhimwit of the month - before they appeared to back off of their plan to endorse a "milder" form of genital mutilation for young girls in the United States.  (So much for that article).

Fortunately, the Obama Administration dutifully stepped in to fill the void with another American.  That would be John Brennan, the President's Counter-Terrorism advisor.  With Dhimwits such as him tasked with keeping radical Islam at bay, it won't be long before young girls in the US will be forced to assume the position - at least those who survive the Jihad anyway.

April 2010 Dhimwit:
Tuula Sakaranaho


The kind of girl you don't take home to mother.

We're beginning to get the impression that Finnish research isn't everything it's cracked up to be.  Not only can we not name too many... um, prominent Finnish researchers, but the only one making a name for herself these days seems to be very bad at both math and research.

Tuula Sakaranaho is an academic who has attempted to compare abortion clinic violence with Islamic terrorism (in the hope that Islam and Christianity will be thought of as either equally bad or equally good).  Her conclusion is that since Christians have killed over abortion without anyone making assumptions about their religion, the same latitude should be extended to Islam and terror:

"If someone in America bombs an abortion clinic or kills abortion doctors, no one will ask us how can you Christians you do something like that," states Sakaranaho. "You can't blame me for what another person does. But that's the way the idea works, that every Muslim is responsible for what every other Muslim does in the world".  (Tundra Tabloids)

Sounds OK from 30,000 feet, but what happens when we drill down to the details? 

For the sake of brevity, let's forget for the moment that Christians don't act like Christ when they kill, while the same can't necessarily be said of Muslims following the example of Muhammad.  Ignore as well that some of these "Christian" killers (such as Eric Rudolph) don't seem all that religious, even as Muslim terrorists yell praises to Allah as they bomb, behead, stab and shoot.  As Osama bin Laden (the world's most famous Muslim) put it, "Our primary mission is nothing but the furthering of this religion." 

Instead of all this, let's just go straight to the numbers.

in the 37 years since Roe V. Wade, there have been 8 persons murdered by anti-abortionists .  This isn't even comparable to the number of folks struck by lightning or killed in their own bathtubs each year.  It's more like the number of people struck by lightening while sitting in their bathtub watching Gigli.

By contrast, TheReligionofPeace.com has documented over 83,000 persons murdered by Islamic terrorists in just the last 8.5 years.   In other words, more than three times as many people are killed in the name of Allah each day than have been killed in the cause of stopping abortion in the last four decades.

Worse, radical Islam was racking up bodies at an even faster rate prior to 9/11.  Throw in the 75,000 killed in Kashmir, the 150,000 killed in Algeria, the 1.5 million victims of Jihad in the Sudan and the hundreds of thousands of Hindus slaughtered in Bangladesh and Pakistan... and suddenly we're looking at some real kinkiness when it comes to pretending that this is even remotely comparable to eight lives over the same 37-year period.

We aren't sure what sort of statistical analysis training they offer in Finland, but over here in the States, when your best ratio of comparison is
 45,000 to 1, about the last thing you can conclude is that there is any sort of equivalence afoot. 

Sakaranaho is right in that every Muslim isn't responsible for what every other Muslim does.  But that hardly qualifies as cutting-edge discovery.  Against numbers like these, what an honest researcher would really be asking herself is why one religion manages to behave itself while the other does not.

 

March 2010 Dhimwits:
Rachel Corrie's Parents, Craig and Cindy


Ma and Pa Corrie.

This is your daughter.

This is your daughter
hopped up on hate.

On March 5th, 2003, seventeen innocent Israeli civilians were massacred by metal shrapnel from a Palestinian suicide bomber, who detonated after boarding their passenger bus and yelling "Allah Akbar."  Twelve of the dead were 20 years or younger, with the youngest being only 13.  Over fifty others were wounded in the explosion, including some with egregious injuries from which they will suffer for the rest of their lives.

Amazingly, the parents of the dead (as part of Israel) are now being sued by the parents of an American woman who died 10 days later abetting the very sociopaths behind the bus bombing. 

Unlike the innocent children aboard the No. 37 Egged in Haifa that morning, however, no one wanted to see Rachel Corrie killed, nor did anyone celebrate her death.  Neither did the victims of the bus massacre have any choice in their fate, as the 23-year-old from Tacoma, Washington did when she voluntarily stepped in front of an Israeli bulldozer - ostensibly to stop the demolition of a Palestinian house.

That the house was protecting smuggling tunnels, through which explosives and weapons were being funneled into Gaza to fuel the wave of Palestinian terror attacks is not something that Ms. Corrie's parents seem to want to remember, as they pursue their civil lawsuit against the State of Israel.  Neither do they care to recall that the Palestinian Authority was compensating those whose houses were being demolished, making their daughter's death even more unnecessary.  Like most grieving parents in their position, they would like to believe that their child was sacrificed for a broader purpose. 

Of course, it wasn't really the bulldozer or Israel that killed their daughter Corrie.  If anything, it was the Palestinian propaganda machine that skewed her objectivity and fueled her hatred. 

Did Rachel Corrie believe that the Israelis were razing houses along that part of the border merely for the sake of inconveniencing the residents?  Did she not care about the innocent people who were being slaughtered with the aid of smuggled materials, or appreciate that the Israelis were not responding in kind?  If so, then who was responsible for her brainwashed condition? 

Why the very same people who encouraged her to risk her life over a house!  The ISM (International Solidarity Movement), under which Ms. Corrie was operating, has a history of recruiting Westerners to assist Palestinian terrorism under the guise of "peace" activities.  A strategic lawsuit against this group by the Corries would not only expose their tawdry methods and command structure, but it would almost certainly save lives on both sides of the conflict in the future.

Ah, but the very Palestinian propaganda that got Ms. Corrie killed has since made a martyr out of her - albeit one cheaply fashioned from distortion and fabrication.  Still, the grieving parents have recognized their best opportunity to imagine their daughter's death to be more than what it was.  That they are exhibiting the same sanctimonious streak of rigid gullibility that got her killed in the first place is another irony that they seem to have missed.

Fortunately for them, the Isrealis are not like the Palestinians.  They have a different set of beliefs about war and justice - and the the Corries have unwittingly proved this by having achieved their day in court. 

 

February 2010 Dhimwit:
David A. Graham of Newsweek Magazine


The only pic we could find?  (Must be a conspiracy).

You gots to know your conspiracy theories these days, says Newsweek Magazine's David A. Graham.  As such, he pulls together a list of his top 13 in a February 12th article entitled Guide to Conspiracy Theories

Graham doesn't offer much in the way of a rebuttal to each "theory", however.  Certainly we aren't expecting too many 9-11 "truthers" to be impressed by the simple assertion that "not even the staunchest mainstream George W. Bush bashers believe this one" - which is the only refutation Graham offers.

Still, all is pretty much well and good until one stumbles across numero nueve:

"#9.  The Council on American-Islamic Relations is trying to infiltrate Capitol Hill and spread jihad.

Author Dave Gaubatz alleges that the mainstream group is both connected to Islamist terrorists and international jihad and is working to infiltrate the American government by placing interns on Capitol Hill. "

This is indeed what Dave Gaubatz advocates about CAIR.  However, the problem with writing this off as a "loony theory" is that it is accompanied by a 450-page book, supported by over 12,000 pages of documents, including those gleaned from CAIR itself via a successful undercover operation.

Graham's only rebuttal?

CAIR has tried to place interns on Capitol Hill, but as it points out, that's standard practice for advocacy groups of all types and allegiances. There's no proof of sinister motives or an effort to encourage international jihad.

Isn't that reassuring.

Unfortunately, it's a bit hard to simply take CAIR's word for it when... just five days after his article was published, former CAIR Board Member Nabil Sadoun was formally DEPORTED over involvement with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood!

In fact, Sadoun is just one of several high-ranking CAIR leaders to have found themselves in handcuffs over financial support for Islamic terror.  And neither is he the organization's only tie with Hamas (one of the bloodiest Islamist groups this side of al-Qaeda).  Not by a long shot.  CAIR was actually an offshoot of the Islamic Association of Palestine, which functioned as Hamas's propaganda wing.

Graham says he can't find any proof of sinister motives or efforts to spread international Jihad?  His "research" must have consisted of nothing more than that phone call to CAIR, because plenty of facts say otherwise.   

As for CAIR's Capitol Hill activities, Graham does admit that the organization is placing sympathizers in key positions, but says simply that everyone does it.  But the problem here is that the group in question is an Islamist organization, the founder of which once said that he wanted to see the Qur'an supplant the Constitution as "the highest authority in America" and "Islam the only accepted religion on earth."

Here again, the Newsweek article was plagued by bad timing.  Just two weeks after its posting, the UK's Labour Party admitted that it had been infiltrated by their own version of CAIR - a political group that "wants to create Islamic social and political order" in Britain (the country that is only a few decades ahead of America in suffering the consequences of Islamic appeasement).

We suspect that if Graham had read more than just the back cover of Gaubatz's book, then he might have skipped over this one.  Either way, his editors have no excuse.  Here's hoping they exercise better judgment the next time someone suggests lining up behind an unindicted co-conspirator.

 

January 2010 (First Honorary) Infidel from Hell:
Retired Lt. Colonel Allen West


"Got your political correctness right here, buddy."

What is an Infidel from Hell?  Well, it's the best name we could come up with at the time for an 'Anti-Dhimwit'.  If a Dhimwit is defined as a non-Muslim abettor of their own demise, then an Infidel from Hell would be the heroic heretic who refuses to go down without a fight.

Why should idiots like Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell grab all the attention when there are real men (and women) out there courageously telling the truth about Islam and its debilitating effects on the civilized world? 

An informed infidel is an Islamist's worst nightmare, since dhimmitude is never something that its victims would have chosen.  The Infidel from Hell is not only familiar with the true history of Islam and the Qur'an, but isn't afraid of warning others about it.  Think Muslim immigration won't come back to bite you?  Think Islam is just a benign Western religion in the Judeo-Christian tradition?  Better read the fine print first, urges the informed Infidel.

This month, we are honoring retired Lt. Colonel Allen West of the U.S. Army.  Unfortunately, the key word there is retired, which may be why he can speak candidly about the "Religion of Peace" without having to worry about being court martialed.  Still, after the disgusting bowing and scraping on the part of Army officials in the wake of the Fort Hood massacre, it is refreshing to imagine that not everyone in the elite ranks is entirely clueless.

We'll leave it to FrontPage Magazine to provide details:  Lt. Col. Allen West Hits Jihad Fastball Into Bleachers, Clears Bases

Congratulations, Colonel... you're our first honorary Infidel from Hell.  Let's that hope plenty more follow.
