The Huffbollah Post Reaches New Anti-Semitic Low
Big funny.
The defense, of course, is that one of the two cartoonists here is Jewish.
Hey, so was Hitler. Kinda.
Thanks to Allah, who's got this great big post on, well, all sorts of things. How about this Styen quote, for starters:
[T]he dangerous argument is the lazy line pedalled by too many politicians that in an Australia or a Canada of evolving immigration patterns, an immigrant from Moldova or China or Brazil or Saudi Arabia can’t be expected to relate to the Queen, to the existing constitutional system. Now try this line the next time you’re in Saudi Arabia: if you immigrate to Saudi Arabia and say ‘hey man, I just can’t relate to the House of Saud, and what’s with this Wahhabism, can’t we get a couple of sports bars with wet t-shirt nights every Thursday’? The Saudis would have a grand old laugh about it and then behead you. So when we accept that argument, in essence we’re explicitly promoting the principle of reverse assimilation; that immigration imposes not the obligation that the immigrant assimilate to his new land, but that his new land assimilate to him. And thereby lies great peril, not for the Queen, she’ll get by, but for a whole bunch of the rest of us… [I]n the superb summation of the American writer James C. Bennett, ‘democracy, immigration multiculturalism … pick any two’.
He also has a great column by a British Muslim MP who says if you want Sharia Law, move thy ass to Saudi Arabia, and stop fucking things up for the rest of us.
It's a great column, but it misses the whole point.
It's not that Muslims want Sharia law for themselves. They can have that, as the Muslim MP says, by moving to a Sharia law country. Or by practicing a socially-enforced Sharia law among themselves. Not really legal, but other people have lived by their own illegal laws throughout history.
The trouble is that these sort of Muslims want Sharia law for everybody, not themselves, and retreating from Battelefield Britain is not an option.
There is a war to be won, and that war is not over the small-potatoes question of whether Muslims can live under Sharia. The war is over whether Muslims can impose Sharia on an unwilling, dhimmified hostage population.
