Sticks and Stones....

As the title of the last post says, if you're offended by these cartoons, get over it... you're an idiot.  What anybody else believes, says, prints, or broadcasts is their business.  As long as you are not forced (I mean physically coerced) to look and listen, you have no claim to injustice.  None.  Grow up.

And if you are one of those who is not particularly offended, but who think it wrong to publish these images; why?  Is it because they might offend someone, then read the above.  Is it because "they" wouldn't do the same to "us"?  Then I commend you to the thousands of instances of Muslims publishing, announcing, and broadcasting material infinitely more insulting, abusive, and violent than a few cartoons.  Is it because you are afraid?  Afraid that you might "incite" retribution from Muslims?  Your fear is justified; these barbarians will accept any excuse to blame their betters for their miserable existence, and to vent their frustration at their own impotence against the innocent.  But think again... your cowardice will not placate them, but rather will spur them on.  Bullies need victims, indeed, they thrive on them.  Only courage and steadfastness can defeat them, and will do so quickly and easily.  Their only real weapon is their enemies' moral weakness.  Civilised society, in the name of justice, must name and uphold the essential issue:  the right to freedom of speech.  They have nothing with which to fight; they can only destroy.  Absent the sanction of civilized society, their insane protestations will fall on deaf ears.  Let them boycott the rest of the world, if they will.  We will survive more expensive energy, and free society will quickly develop substitutes.  They will whither and starve when they realize you can't eat oil.

But herein lies our problem.  While the current Muslim attempt to silence "insults" to their "god" are perhaps more virulent, countless transgressions of the right to free speech have been made by intellectuals, religious leaders of all persuasions, and the government, even since the 1st amendment was penned.  How will our so-called leaders condemn Islam and uphold the freedom of the press while at the same time advocating obscenity laws, movie ratings, "hate-speech" laws, and sundry other curtailments of individuals' rights to say what they wish?

To do so they must first recognize that the right to free speech means just that, no matter how offensive that speech may be deemed by one other person, or by millions.  So long as it is expression only, by private means, whether a loudhailer or a privately owned printing press; so long as there is no initiation or threat of physical force, say what you will.  Civilized society depends on this, and cannot function without it.  As every child knows: sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.

Offended? Get Over It.

Appeasement

John Adams, recalling his "...total despair of any good coming from the petition or of those things which are called conciliatory measures" was referring to the faction within the Continental Congress in favor of appeasing the British.  He continued, "I constantly insisted that all such measures, instead of having any tendency to produce a reconciliation, would only be considered as proofs of our timidity and want of confidence in the ground we stood on, and would only encourage our enemies to greater exertions against us."

By contrast, today's whinging milquetoasts politicians are not fit to be scraped of Adams' shoe.

Baluchistan

Ever heard of Baluchistan?  It's the site of one of the seventeen wars involving Muslims currently being fought somewhere on the globe.  That doesn't include countries where there is no war (armed conflict resulting in 1000+ annual deaths), but terrorists are carrying out attacks motivated by Islam's Jihad principles.

In the last twelve months alone, one thousand and seventy-two terrorist attacks have been carried out by Muslims, resulting in the death of six thousand, four hundred and seventy-eight, and the wounding of eleven thousand, seven hundred and fifty-two, mostly civilians.

Islam For The Perplexed

Hugh Fitgerald, over at Challenging Islam, has a must-read essay:  Islam For The Perplexed.  Read it all, and pass it on.

GWB's Evasion

Via littlegreenfootballs:

Whatever criticisms one may have of FDR, and there are many, he would never have proudly added Hitler's "Mein Kampf" to the White House library as a show of "tolerance" towards Nazism.  Nor would such an act have been tolerated by congress, or ordinary americans, for that matter.

But GWB could and has, only with the Koran, Islam's battle manifesto and call to arms.  Make no mistake about the latter;  despite GWB's monumental evasion, Islam is no religion of peace .  [Actually, no religion is, or can be, ultimately peaceful, but that is a subject for another post.]  The Koran is explicit in its calls for the violent spread of Islam and the subjcation of "non-believers".

While GWB  is busy emulating Gomer Pile, the cultural leaders of islam's jihad, the iranian mullahs, arm themselves for war; jihad financiers, Saudia Arabia, underwrite the teaching of jihadist principles in madrasseses the world over; and islam's henchmen in Iraq, Syria, Northern Africa, and in sundry other koran motivated conflicts the world over, murder, rape and pillage in the service of mohamad.
