Dhimmie a break!

It’s written by a Michael Hodges and the first thing that came up on google is this.

It’s very well written, with little to show that it might not be serious – and everything he says is nominally true, so it’s very believable.

well done sir, very well played indeed.

You have to ask yourself, what is it that attracts Libs to Islam and totalitarianism in general, and repeals them from things like Christianity. What unifying force draws these groups, who seemingly have very different aims, together?

There are really only 2 basic views of government. That it should only maintain order and people should be free or that government should run all of society and people must be obedient. If you believe the second, then what particular philosophy you want the government to enforce is really secondary, does it even matter? Marxism, Fascism, a Caliphate, Goracle enviornmentalism, a radical feminist matriarchy, military dictatorship, Divine right Monarchy…it barely matters at all the results are pretty much the same for the people stuck in a government that doesn’t give them freedom. I get upset when even American Republicans are on the wrong side of this issue, trying to use big government to enforce a christian worldview. That is not how the Republic is supposed to work!

If you recall, the Al Qaeda code word for Americans was “white meat,” ie pig meat, which is crudely racist and quite acceptable to the pious Islamists.

I think that’s true.

Although England has a long tradition of religious bigotry against, for instance, Roman Catholics, it is reasonable to assume that under the guiding hand of Islam a civilised accommodation could be made among faith groups in London. This welcoming stance already exists in the capital in the form of the City Circle (see Yahya Birt interview), which encourages inter-faith dialogue and open discussion.

The ” civilised accommodation” is called dhimmitude.

lol! give it time.

Zakat is not simply charity for the poor, it is charity for Muslim poor only or it is used to fund missionary activities. Some of the less totalitarian Islamic scholars say zakat can be provided to dhimmis, but only if there are no Muslim poor who could benefit from it which is not too likey. (there is always a BUT isn’t there).

Anyway, zakat is much more than charity, it is yet another tool for Islamic supremacy.

Maybe Robert will take up zakat as part of his series on Islam – I’d look forward to it.

In addition to its many other totalitarian attributes, Islam is a tool for Arab imperialism. All people are not treated equally under Islam – end of story.

Enrique above caught this, but isn’t this the rub?

It may be the rub, but it’s not even true. Go to an arab country and take a look at how the arabs treat the africans who live there.

Under Islam all ethnicities are equal. Once you have submitted to Allah you are a Muslim – it doesn’t matter what colour you are. End of story

Enrique above caught this, but isn’t this the rub?

But Tahir Alam, education spokesman for the Muslim Council of Britain, claims Muslim children do better in their own faith schools than in the mainstream state sector: ‘Muslim schools have their own distinct ethos. They use the children’s faith and heritage as primary motivators to provide the backdrop for their education and behaviour. This ethos is consistent with the messages that children are getting at home, so it is a very coherent operation between the home and the school.’

You better memorize the Koran or we’ll beat you?

memorization by rote does not make a critical thinker, the new 5 W’s are: what, where, how, who, and praise allah?

That’s a question I’ve often pondered. I think its their lust for power, their greed and contempt for people in general. They believe when totalitarianism comes, that they are smart enough and pliant enough to be within the ruling class and not part of the enslaved masses. And of course their hatred of Christianity stems from their desires to do what they wish without any form of constraint.

I do not agree with the view that to be moral, the motive of one’s actions has to be benefiting others. Morality does not have to be defined in relation to others. … People like me want to … satisfy our hearts to the full, and in doing so we automatically have the most valuable moral codes. Of course there are people and objects in the world, but they are all there only for me. … People like me only have a duty to ourselves; we have no duty to other people.

Chairman Mao

And if you look here, you will find a liberal that’s trying to secure his position within any ruling communist class that might be on the horizon.

Slavery?

Yup, even into the mid-19th Century.

Try 21st Century. From UAE to Mauritania, the places where slavery persist tend to be Islamic countries.

By the way, the quote

Under Islam all ethnicities are equal. Once you have submitted to Allah you are a Muslim – it doesn’t matter what colour you are. End of story.

has been getting the most play here, and there’s a ring of some truth to it, ignoring that the all-important “once.” However, practically speaking, it’s a lie exposed by interracial (see Iran) and interdenominational (see Iraq) strife. Also, isn’t there an explicit word for “non-Arab Muslim” that accords them second-class citizenship in some places? I suppose that’s a part of the “social factors,” that are presumably left behind as soon as any Muslim steps from Asia into Europe.

I had this same thought when listening to Hitchens recent debate with that “anti-war” idiot. The softening-up to Islam within the Left has to be motivated by, and leading up to, something. And so far, we know that they’ll go to any lengths to remain in denial about the nature of the war and the enemy. Perhaps some surprising conversions are on the horizon…

Liberals envision a world free of governments and borders – a utopia where everyone lives in peace and harmony and drinks Coke smokes weed. Islamists envision the same utopia, but with burqas, a caliph and no Coke pork.

Honestly? My guess is this: You know when Silky Pony’s Amanda Marcotte was defending her anti-Catholic rants by saying, “You criticize what you know?” I think libs are so afraid of being associated personally to anything flawed in their own backgrounds (capitalism, Christianity, America) that they flee and attach themselves to The Other, with the caveat that it just hasn’t worked “yet.” I.e., Communism is great in theory, it just hasn’t worked yet.

Doesn’t Islam have its flaws too? Sure, but as non-Muslims, they bear no personal responsibilities for those flaws; they’re on board with Islam Done Right (see article above). Your ego is stroked on both sides: you reject everything wrong with your own culture and open-mindedly embrace what’s good in all others. Great for you, crappy for reality.
