Updating the Dhimmitude

The many traditions of the Western World are being trashed in fear of Islam. I know that Akbar Ahmed would have you call it "sensitivity," but, as Charles Johnson said, let's face it, it's fear. It is, for example, the case in Spain, where as tradition would have it, the head of Mohammed would be blown up symbolically in the annual fiesta-celebrations of the Reconquista. Not anymore. The fiestas might offend somebody. It's the Spanish version of the 9/11 memorial in AZ. And in Britain, if the authorities have to choose between putting their time and effort into controlling the Westminster Cathedral crowd calling for the Pope's death or investigating a pig's head placed outside a Mosque they will, at least in this day and age, choose the pig's head.

And in our own United States, Muslim taxi drivers in Minnesota will not allow alcohol in their vehicles. Correct me if I'm wrong, but have taxi-driving adherents to any other religious beliefs made any such demands? Slowly, surely, the U.S. is losing its freedom of speech.

But it's not just the dhimmi lands. Islam is incompatible with democracy on its own grounds especially, as demonstrated by the continuing failures of the "democratically elected" Hamas government in the Gaza strip. What a jolly little bunch they must be!

Oh yeah, and get this - remember the Mumbai train bombings. More evidence Pakistan was [in-]directly involved. It's not even a go figure. Not even a non sequitur. More like a QED!

Though it's clear that California is poised to become the New Mecca, we can still breathe a little.

Before I rant on, let me pause to give credit to the brighter minds among us. There are those who like to ask the good questions, and those who do their research.

Previously, I did not know that there was such thing as a "fifth column." Now I do. And I am very concerned because if the Australian left ever thought "that the Cold War was an equal struggle between the ideologies of the United States and the Soviet Union," then I really, I just . . . really . . . well, I wouldn't know what to say. I'd be speechless.

Patriotism is truly, slowly being destroyed in the U.S. While a terrorist-sympathizing memorial is being built in terrorist-sympathizing AZ, a 9/11 memorial to Paul Talty was destroyed by, that's right, you guessed it...a deranged Turk who thought the memorial was political.

The San Francisco Gate, on cue from the AP (Associated Perverts), thinks that a high-calorie diet, when administered to terrorists in Guantanamo, is comparable to journalists in Iraq being beheaded by Insurgents.

And finally, just in case you missed out on it, Michelle Malkin reminds us of the many "rages" of Muslims against Western society in the past few years. Yes. Quite Justifiable...like, NOT!! And Britain is slowly, surely, losing touch with reality.

P.S. Just for laughs.
