Reuters reports that Egypt’s prime minister, Hisham Kandil, has issued the following request: “We ask the American government to take a firm position toward this film’s producers within the framework of international charters that criminalize acts that stir strife on the basis of race, color or religion.”
A response to Kandil that I received tonight from a friend of mine (I think she's spot on):
Oh really? So we should just gut the First Amendment to appease these barbarians?
Maybe we should consult history first. It is an historical fact that, since the seventh century, Islam has never lived peaceably with its neighbors anywhere it has gone, at any time. Heck, Islam can't live peaceably with itself; e.g., the perennial bloody schism between Sunni and Shi'a Islam.
So, who's to blame for the "strife" this double-speaker is referring to? Which leads me to ask: What kind of "god" is presiding over all this? Such a god must be bloody-minded, seeking the complete submission of all of mankind to his "rule."
On this basis, I suspect that Muslims in general are not the best candidates for U.S. citizenship: There is zero correspondence between Sharia and Constitutional law. Not to mention that women are regarded in Islam, not merely as "second-class citizens," but as the chattel of the male members of their families. So-called honor killings are pretty much confined to females who seek self-determination. Evidently, Allah does not approve of this. So, why the deafening silence of the so-called American "women's liberation movement," which was so prominently on display at last week's DNC?
Speaking of the DNC: I note that the number of Arab-American delegates at the DNC has increased some 25% since the last presidential election cycle. I mention this just in case anybody's still wondering why God and the Jerusalem language were deleted from the party platform.... Presumably with the "blessing" of our sitting president — until the political blowback forced him to put the language back into the platform by a "rigged" voice vote.
Rather than face dangerous facts, the MSM is, as usual, trying to change the subject altogether. You see, it's really Romney who's the bad guy here — for simply stating what should be obvious to anybody who knows the history of Islam, and the history of the United States of America.... Oil and water do not mix. |
