As Liberalism and Islamism spread and mingle across the globe, reality increasingly resembles a Franz Kafka tale of entangled plots, where nothing is as it seems and simple statements hold unexpected meanings. If Kafka was alive today, he wouldn’t have to make up stuff and anything he did make up would be printed as fact in the New York Times.
Islamists have sold Liberals, particularly elites, on two key propositions, cleverly designed to confuse and weaken the infidels. The first proposition is that offending Islam, the Koran, Muhammad or Muslims is somehow illegal, immoral, or otherwise forbidden. The second is that Muslims are the sole arbiters of what is offensive. Having previously internalized the notion that going through life without pain is a human right, Liberals easily bought into the Muslim corollaries. Liberals are always looking to add to their extensive arsenal of vapid philosophies.
In Liberal circles, offending Christians will get you an invitation to a dinner party. Offending Jews will get you a sideways glance and an approving smile. Offending Muslims will get you charged. Think we are exaggerating? Yesterday, in a “twilight zone” like episode, the very Liberal Archbishop of Canterbury called for a new law to punish “thoughtless or cruel” words (that offend Muslims).
Ezra Levant was brought up on charges before the Kafkaesque Canadian Human Rights Commission for having published amusing Danish cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad. Ezra is smart and passionate in defending his right to offend.
The saga continues.
Mark Steyn was brought up on charges before the same cockamamie Canadian Human Rights Committee.
Lionheart, in hiding in the USA, is being pursued by the British authorities for blogging the Islamic invasion of the United Kingdom.
In San Francisco, Michael Savage is locked in an existential struggle with CAIR.
And so it goes.
Remember, infidels! The legal, cultural and language Jihads are just the beginning. The violent Jihad will surely follow once you are too weak to resist.
