Behead those who dare besmirch our besmirchers...
What the nearly global ‘cartoon riots’ reveal is not comic.
But apologies are not the answer. In fact, apologizing is diametrically the wrong tack to take in regard to this latest wrinkle in Islam’s delinquency to the universe.
As analysts Daniel Pipes and Michelle Malkin have noted, it is the essence of maintaining our very lives and independence to assert and defend our correct rights to self-expression. Should we foolishly and outlandishly bend to their triumphalism of droit du religion -- only Islam of all isms must be respected and obeyed, evidently; all others may be trampled upon by these disrespectful and violence-worshipping people--we will have succumbed to the ugliness of Dhimmitude and the squalor of inevitable decline under their ceaseless and envious bullying.
The recapitulation after four months of cartoons only a few of which, by the way, were authentically drawn by cartoonists in response to a request for depiction of the Islamic issues relevant to today, of these mostly innocuous depictions, is a ploy of several Middle Eastern autocratic/dictatorial governments involved, predominantly Syria.
The vociferous rubbish indulged in by this mind-poisoned scourge -- does not a single male Muslim work, ever??? Anywhere in the Middle East? Is a potempkin front to rattle our infidel cages? Be assured they are state-sanctioned showcases: See what we can engineer, when we put our minds, matches, and feet to it! Side B: Look at our fireworks, ye mighty...and be afraid, be very afraid.
The mass of the rampaging and artificially ramped-up crowd hardly devours its own media, and is moreover largely unacquainted with Danish, let alone Chileno or adjuvant news. The technique of priming the rage of the unhappily underemployed was flogged similarly by the nazi tyrant 65-years ago to distract from economic, sociological, and communal woes that bore little resemblance to the proximal 'cause' of the demonstrations, however.
No country should apologize. Unless the weasel states apologize to the West for their canker acts of decapitation, name-calling and retail rewriting of history. If these same vile states of insult continue to lambaste and caricature Christianity, Hinduism and Judaism, they must learn that turnabout is just fair play.
A major lesson must be extrapolated from one of the placards held aloft in one of these demos: 'To hell with your freedom,' one read. The concept that they willingly lap-up their lack of freedom is an ironic statement no government bloviation can obscure. Their message is plainer than mud on a mollusk: We want to be preliterate and pre-modern. We know enough English to tell you our mindset, but we don't have a farthing's-worth of regard for what you hold dear, even if it would look good in our breakfronts for the occasional hudna.
Eventually, their Jurassic, ignorant exceptionalism will be penetrated by the futility of defending the dank feudal they have sold their souls to in a bad bid for virgins or rescue.
