We respect what you're saying - so shut up!

I've often mocked the so-called religion of peace in here. Too often, these peaceniks want to kill and maim for the grievous sin of not being just like them.

Case in point, a recent attack against Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen. On August 9, 2007, she was attacked during the launch of her latest book. What it amounted to, was a group of Muslim men got together and decided to pelt her with bouquets, flower pots, shoes, chairs and pretty much anything else that wasn't tied down. Luckily for her, she wasn't family to these men, because then they would be 'honor-bound' to have actually killed her.

Of more interest is that three of her attackers where Members of Legislative Assembly of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, which is a Muslim political party over in India. One of these three is quoted as saying, "We are not bothered about our MLA status. We are Muslims first. And its our responsibility to test those who have said anything against Islam in which ever way possible."

Yeah, that's reasonable behavior for you. We don't like what she says, so forget the fact that we're supposed to be leaders in our country, let's go lynch this girl!

Sadly, that alone wouldn't have gotten me ranting. After all, Muslim treatment of women as chattel is well documented. Muslim violence against non-Muslims is well documented. No, what got me ranting this morning, was this statement by Delhi Minorities Commission chairperson Kamal Farooqui:

The government should immediately cancel her visa and make her go out of the country, she should realise that this is not Bangladesh or Pakistan, but India where the sentiments of all communities are respected.

Does Kamal Farooqui even realize the utter stupidity, and non-logic of that statement? In two sentences, he totally contradicts himself. First he says that she needs to get out of India because of what she writes, and in the very next breath he says that the reason for this is because, hey, this is India, we respect the sentiments of all communities here.

Apparently, all communities doesn't include Taslima Nasreen.

The Religion of Peace

You know, one day people are going to wake up and realize that Islam is not a religion of peace. It's adherents are fanatics who willingly and happily call for the blood of the innocent.

Need proof? If you've turned the television on, or opened a newspaper, you've probably heard about the cartoons in a Denmark newspaper depicting Muhammad. Which of course means that the Muslims have announced the cartoons as being evil and blasphemy and have called for the heads of the cartoonist and the newspaper editors. Remember that Denmark is a nation which has a free press. Various Muslim nations have called on Denmark to censor and punish the newspaper. Denmark's response was basically "Can't do it, that's not how it works here."

So, what was the reaction of those who adhere to the Religion of Peace? One Muslim is quoted as saying "Slit their [Danes and Norwegians] throats in the style of (Abu Musab) al-Zarqawi," while another is on record stating 'The infidels must know that the coming days will see a bloody war and a series of blessed conquests."

Yeah that's peace for you.

For many years Christian icons have been used in profane and blasphemous artwork, and of course it has upset Christians. We are not particularly fond when an artist puts a cross in a jar of urine and then calls it art (and not just because of the blasphemous aspects of that). Of course when all of Christendom's ire at such things, Christians do not call for the wholesale slaughter of those artists, plus their families, friends, neighbors, country men, and neighboring countrymen.

Of course you have the lefties out there, supporting their decisions to slaughter Danes. President Clinton is on record as saying that Muslim behavior in this fiasco is justified and that the newspaper should apologize for the cartoons.

One has to wonder if the lefties realize that Muslims would just as happily kill those who support the terrorists as they would someone who does not? It does not matter to them, if we support Palestine or not, all that matters is the fact that we are an infidel and they believe we should die for such a grievous crime.

After all, Islam is the Religion of Peace, on the provision that all the infidels are dead.
