Cartoon rage
I admit it that the current cartoon rage over the cartoons of the "prophet" Mohammed has somewhat unhinged me. When the Danish Prime Minister said that the government of Denmark does not censor a free press, and the slimeballs who supposedly represent the Muslim community of Denmark decided to take their roadshow to the Islamic world to stir up hatred against Denmark, my blood pressure went up, and I decided to buy two Danish flags, buy Danish ham and cheese, and most importantly, talk to as many people as I could about this issue as I could.
I am just as angry as they are. The Muslims I mean.
However, since I realize that going ballistic is not good for my health, (and unlike them, I don't want to die since I don't expect seventy two virgins to greet me upon my demise), I decided that I have to remain calm and just explain to as many people as possible just what the real issues are in this controversy.
I also introduce a bit of humorous whimiscal blasphemy ito the issue. www.mohammeddance.com is a good place to start.
We (meaning the west, meaning all of those countries that represent the west like western Europe, Canada, Australia, much of eastern Europe, have our values that we value as much as the Muslim world does theirs. We value our freedoms that have evolved over centuries of hard experience as much as Muslims value the "revelations" of their pedophile prophet. Sometimes I have a hard time talking to the members of my denomination (Unitarian Universalist) about this, since we are the kind of people who believe in the inherent dignity and worth of every individual human being. I have to explain to my fellow UUs that our values are not shared by Muslims, or rather those Muslims who take the Quran at face value, that is as the infallible revelation of Allah who is the only true god.
Christians and Jews have in their scriptures the so called golden rule. What you don't want other people to do to you, you don't do to them. Muslims have no such rule. If you are a good Muslim, you treat people differently, dependent on whether thay are Muslims or Infidels. You don't take Christians or Jews as friends. You only take Muslims as friends. Your allegiance is not to the country that gives you citizenship. It is to the worldwide ulema, the body of Islam, that you owe your true allegience. This is in the Quran, which is the word of Allah who is the only true God. The Quran was not written by people (however divinely inspired) but by Allah himself, who is the only true god.
Furthermore, Islam does not seek to coexist with other faiths. Islam seeks to rule over them. This is part of Muslim scripture, and cannot be reformed, because the Quran cannot be reformed or reinterpreted. The words of Allah as stated by the "prophet" cannot be changed, or done away with. Which means that we in the west have a very big problem. We cannot have these people, or too many of these people in our countries, because they have no desire to integrate into the countries that they immigrate into. If you thought that the Communist party was a problem because their allegience was to another country , you aint seen nothing yet.
Western Europe is already dealing with this, and for many countries, it may already be too late. More tomorrow.
