Opinion: Koran Burning Controversy Another "Dhimmi" Victory for Islamists?
Topics: Dhimmitude, Political News and commentariesWikipedia describes "Dhimmitude" as a neologism, first found in French, denoting a subservient attitude of concession, surrender, and appeasement towards Islamic demands.
The controversy concerning the planned burning of the Koran by Florida preacher Terry Jones, as a symbolic repudiation of the Muslim Islamist extremists that carried the murderous attacks of 9/11, and of the barbarous Islamic world-view, and twisted religious ideology, that promotes such savage acts with promises of "Paradise and 72 virgins", and impels Islamist terrorists to commit such heinous atrocities in the name of "Allah" and "Muhammad", can well be said to have become another victory for the Islamofacists, who seek to destroy us and Islamize the planet, on account of the debasing collective Dhimmitude and surender to Islamist exigencies, that is so nauseatingly prevalent in the West, in Europe, in America, and that is slowly permeating the whole of the world!
In view of these positions of subservience, capitulation, and back-bending concessions to Islam by our politicians, institutions, and our governments, one is forced to ask where is that "separation of church and state" - so touted by those same secularists politicians, institutions, and governments, which for so long have used it as a pretext to effectively remove and censor God and the Ten Commandments, and the Judeo-Christian Heritage of our nations, from our courts and our classrooms; and Christ from our Christmases in the Public Square - which delineation, when it comes to Islam, they don't seem at all to mind blurring, in their servile, fawning, accommodation?
Doesn't that "separation of church and state" mean that government cannot endorse, support, or show "favoritism" for any particular religion"? How come then governments and politicians all over the western world are going so much out of their way to condemn the burning of the Koran - using their considerable political clout and the pressure of their official positions - to cajole and dissuade this Pastor from Florida, or anyone else, from any "desecration" of Muhammad's "Satanic Verses", while it is perfectly alright to desecrate, mock, ridicule, and vandalize, the religious symbols, imagery, and writings of every other religion? What? These otherwise hedonistic and godless secularists, are now officially become the "Governmental Guardians of The Holy Q'uran's Sanctity" - lest it be defiled? You have to be kidding, right!
They are "concerned" for "Muslim sensitivities"? Well, what about the "sensitivities" of the families of the victims of 9/11 when a "Victory Mosque" is being shoved down their collective throats in disdain and mockery of the memory of their loved ones? What about the sensitivities of Christians who must simply accept as "Art Noveau" the insidious and callous depictions of Madonnas made of dung and feces, or of a crucified Christ in a jar of urine? What about the sensitivities of Jews who must endure the mockery of the memory of Anne Frank and of the Holocaust victims by picturing her in a cartoon in bed with Hitler.... as if it was "amusing"? Burning Korans is highly offensive to Muslims, because to them it is the "Word of Allah"? Well, how about the Bibles, the Word of God for Jews and Christians, which are routinely confiscated and shredded by the Saudi Religious Police (so much for Islamist tolerance)?
The mere fact that our politicians, and our government, be seeking to censor and or dissuade some yahoo in rural Florida from exercising his First Amendment rights and or to curtail his Freedom of Speech, because it "offends" some religion - in this case "Muslim Sensitivities", is ipso facto, not only a clear violation of the separation of church and state - they should have no opinions on such matters - but a blatant act of Dhimmitude and pro-Islamist "favoritism" (Not to mention the Hartford, Connecticut City Council Meetings that will now begin with Muslim prayers!).
Sure, Madonnas in dung and Crucifixes in urine are "acceptable forms of expression" right? But oh no! Islam is always "off limit"......lest we offend the "sensitivities" of some "poor" Muslim, who, distraught, will then have a "crisis of faith", and cut off the heads of a few people, or blow himself up to murder some innocent victims in "indignant" retaliation?
I mean, I can see the rationale behind proverbially not "rubbing salt on a wound", in this case that of Muslim "sensitivities", but how about the sensitivities of everyone else in the world which are trampled with such impunity, especially by Muslims? Why then don't these Dhimmi politicians, governments, and instituions treat other religions with the same "subservient attitude of concession, surrender, and appeasement" as they do Islam?
Does this imply, perhaps, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, and all members of religions other than Islam, should likewise have fanatical religious tantrums when they get offended, and cut the heads off some 'sonsofbitches' every now and then, or blow themselves up, occasionally, to get some similar respect in the eyes of these Dhimmi governments and politicians of ours?
Apparently they are terrified of the "reaction" by Islamist terrorists (who, on the other hand, they claim "do not exist" but are but "man-made disasters" in their estimation....even as they stick their heads in the sand). And It is precisely they, with all this "politically correct" fear, this capitulation to multi-culturalism, this wringing of hands, and all this "affectated" angst of not giving offense to murderous Jihadists savages, that grants those murderous Jihadist savages victory! It is just appalling! Just read some of the headlines:
"Petraeus condemns Dove World Outreach's Plan To Burn Qurans: 'It could Endanger Troops.' "What Dhimmitude! To quote Ann Coulter in her latest column at Human Events:"Eric Holder Tells Religious Leaders Burning Koran 'Is Idiotic' and 'Dangerous' "
"Secretary of State Clinton condemns Koran burning calling it 'disrespectful and disgraceful' "
"Evangelicals Condemn Planned Q'uran burning"
"Cardinal McCarrick, Catholic League president, condemn planned Koran burning."
"If the general's [Petraeus] main objective is to hamper Jihadist recruiting, may I respectfully suggest unconditional surrunder?"And all, again, because of the "Koran BBQ" of some yahoo in Gainesville, Florida! Perhaps Pastor Terry Jones should invite Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, and some of his fellow Muslims at CAIR over, and roast some pigs for them in the flames of the charcoals of the burned Korans, as a way of partaking with them, and as an act of inter-faith "reaching out" to the Muslim community....in a manner similar to the one in which Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is "reaching out" to the families of the vicitms of 9/11 and addressing their indignation - and that of many other Americans - at his actions, which to them is as a much of a DESECRATION, as the burning of the Koran is to him and to Muslims!
Even Pope Benedict XVI - undoubtedly chastised by his run-in with Muslims, a few years back, for academically quoting long-dead Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Paleologos, as saying:
"Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached"... condemned the burning of the Koran as, quote: "outrageous and grave." Makes you wonder if His Holiness now considers the Koran a "Holy Book"....while the "Dung Madonna" is just simply another work of art?
