If I object to the crescent on an Islamic flag because it reminds me of a bloodthirsty scimitar, and how much Muslims love to kill and kill and kill with this knife, where do I register my objection?
Right here on this blog.
Every time I see that deadly curve I think of Daniel Pearl and Nicholas Berg and Fabrizio Quattrocchi, the baker / security guard who leapt from his knees to his feet before the cowardly Muslim thugs who would kill him, tearing at his hood and shouting, ”VI FACCIO VEDERE COME SA MORIRE UN ITALIANO!”
I think of Theo van Gogh, murdered in the coldest blood on recent record while begging for reason, slaughtered by another "devout" Muslim coward with two knives after being brought down by the bastard's bullets.
I think of over one million Armenians murdered by Muslim Turks, who are now, barely a century later and barely improved in their behavior, knocking on the borderless European Union's door.
I think of pervasive and ongoing Islamic fratricide and sororicide, and the mutilation of their young.
But I can't do anything about that crescent image, on green flag after green flag after green flag, and the horrors it both reminds me of and precurses (because it isn't over, and won't be for years). I just have to live with it, and slam Islam with the abundant, dolorous, bloody facts, whenever I can stomach it.
Mark Steyn writes that British dhimmitude is beyond parody because of the recent pig-image ban in a British Council office for the sake of a single Muslim, and because they're actually debating about St.George's Cross on the British Flag (Crusades, y'know).
Islamic arrogance is not only beyond parody, it is beyond belief. They don't think they have to live with it. They think others have to change for their sake, even when Muslims are guests in foreign lands. In Kristiansand (think what it means), Norway, teacher Inge Telhaug has been forbidden to wear his Star of David because it might offend Muslim students. (He is not Jewish.) Robert Spencer's Dhimmi Watch quotes Aftenposten:
"I see it as the oldest religious symbol we have in our culture, because without Judaism there would be no Christianity," said Telhaug.
The principal of the school, Kjell Gislefoss, feels that the Star of David can also be interpreted as a political symbol for the state of Israel, and is afraid the star can provoke and offend students, for example immigrants from the Palestinian territories.
"The Star of David would be a symbol for one side in what is perhaps the world's most inflamed conflict at the moment. Many have a traumatic past that they have escaped and then we feel that if they are going to learn Norwegian then they can't sit and at the same time be reminded of the things they have traveled from," Gislefoss said.
Boo-hoo. Muslims, especially Palestinian Muslims, have got victimization down cold. They are the most sly and vicious operators of all. Does this mean if some little Muslim brat is walking down the street and here comes someone with a T-shirt with a big blue Star of David on it, he's going to curl up into a fetal ball and start to wail on and on about being oppressed? Yes, probably, with civil suits following.
Muslims want to make the world the ummah, where they control everything, down to the color green. It's not going to happen, of course, but I predict their demands will just grow louder.
Here in metro Phoenix we now have another Muslim K-12 school, with the taqiyya-toned name Arizona Cultures Academy. There is only one culture at this school: Islam. For a mere $6000 per year, traditional and affluent Valley Muslims can make sure their children are sheltered from the United States while in school.
They're in for a rude awakening when they graduate. And if they start to whine and moan that life ain't like high school --well, welcome to adulthood. And if they think they're going to bend the laws their way, towards sharia, I think they'll be meeting the tidal wave that is only a groundswell now.
No dhimmis here. Ever. No sharia in the USA. Ever. Nobody owns green.
