THE BURNING ISSUE: DHIMMITUDE

NEVER YET MELTED:

Mark Steyn rants over the elite’s response to Koran-burning-that-never-took-place as well as to the plight of the latest victim of cartoon jihad, Molly Norris.

He didn’t burn any buildings or women and children. He didn’t even burn a book. He hadn’t actually laid a finger on a Koran, and yet the mere suggestion that he might do so prompted the President of the United States to denounce him, and the Secretary of State, and the commander of US forces in Afghanistan, various G7 leaders, and golly, even Angelina Jolie.

President Obama has never said a word about honor killings of Muslim women. Secretary Clinton has never said a word about female genital mutilation. General Petraeus has never said a word about the rampant buggery of pre-pubescent boys by Pushtun men in Kandahar.

But let an obscure man in Florida so much as raise the possibility that he might disrespect a book – an inanimate object – and the most powerful figures in the western world feel they have to weigh in.

Aside from all that, this obscure church’s website has been shut down, its insurance policy has been canceled, its mortgage has been called in by its bankers.

Why? As Diana West wrote, why was it necessary or even seemly to make this pastor a non-person?

Another one of Obama’s famous “teaching moments”?

In this case teaching us that Islamic law now applies to all?

APPEASEMENT = DHIMMITUDE = SUBMISSION.

OBAMA WANTS US TO SUBMIT.

WE SHALL NOT.

WE SHALL MAKE OBAMA AND THE DHIMMICRATS SUBMIT TO THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE IN NOVEMBER.
