Auto Dealer Offers 'Discounts For Dhimmis' With 'Rolling Jihad'
Topics: Understanding Islam
Dhimmi: (also zimmi, plural: ahl al-dhimma) [A dhimmi (also zimmi, Arabic: plural: ahl al-dhimma) was a "free" (i.e. non-slave) - A non-Muslim subject of a state governed in accordance with sharia - Islamic law. Dhimmis were allowed to "practice their religion, subject to certain conditions, and to enjoy a measure of communal autonomy" and guaranteed their personal safety and security of property, in return for paying tribute to Muslims and acknowledging Muslim supremacy.]
Baron Bodissey posts today at Gates of Vienna on a car dealership in Columbus, Ohio that definitely understands the power of humor and ridicule as tools against Jihad; it is a tool against which the jihadist have no defense:
We've often said in this space that in ridicule is the most powerful weapon in the arsenal of the Counter-Jihad; it's one that our enemies have no defense against.Now there's a car dealership in Ohio that gets it, according to yesterday's Columbus Dispatch:
[...] Some Columbus radio stations have rejected as insensitive an advertisement for a car dealership that invokes Islamic references.Don't you love it?The general manager of the dealership, though, says the promotions -- which he called "tongue-in-cheek" -- will air on some stations beginning next week.
In the spot, Keith Dennis of Dennis Mitsubishi talks about "launching a jihad on the automotive market."
Sales representatives "will be wearing burqas all weekend long," the ad says. One of the vehicles on sale "can comfortably seat up to 12 jihadists in the back."
"Our prices are lower than the evildoers' every day. Just ask the pope!" the ad says. "Friday is fatwa Friday, with free rubber swords for the kiddies."[[...] "It starts next Friday morning," Masterson said. "As far as I can see, the top 10 stations -- minimum -- in the market. We made it very clear we wanted market saturation to get the point across."
The dealership was a little surprised by the hesitation to run the ad, Masterson said, although he noted, "According to the people who have heard it, it is the most controversial commercial they've heard in the last 15 years."
Calling the commercial aggressive, Masterson said, "This is one where we feel we're taking a bull's-eye on terrorists. After all the nonsense that the terrorists put the public through, they're fair game."
The president of the Columbus chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, doesn't think terrorism is to be taken lightly.
Asma Mobin-Uddin said she is concerned the ad's tone and imagery are "mocking and disrespectful to many different areas. One is Islamic faith and Islamic culture."
As Baron Bodissey points out, had this commercial spot not been written in-house by the dealership, we all know damned well that we'd never see it, since no advertising agency or marketing firm would ever put such an ad together. Change has to come from the bottom up, especially with the politically-correct, Islamist-appeasing media that controls the news in the airways and print. However, "if the manager of a car dealership in Columbus gets it, then anyone can get it."
After all these years of being mau-maued by CAIR, after all the treacly propaganda ladled onto their viewers and readers by the MSM, after all the diversity training and multicultural outreach forced onto the public by the politically correct power structure -- despite all this, ordinary people are getting the message.Read more commentary at Gates of Vienna.Despite the efforts of their betters, they understand the Islamic world all too well.
It's certain that the West is on a collision course with submission to the will of Islam. As the Islamists say, its only a matter of time. The sooner all of us "get it" the sooner we can get on with getting this thing over that they, the Islamists started, and end it - as in terminate it with extreme prejudice.
