There’s No Clash Here: Only one civilization cares to put up a fight (On the cartoon wars)

A new children's book, "The Three Little Mohammeds" is about three pigs addicted to violence, who shout slurs at everyone else, shoot into the air, look scruffy all the time, burn flags, and who all built their religous faith houses on sinking sand.

Hey! I'll buy a copy. Sounds like a great book!

I posted this on another related thread

Other than some outside-the-box intellectuals like Harris, and a bunch of grass-roots conservatives, and Michael Savage and a few talk-radio hosts, the people in general don't see a problem. They are not even aware that there is a culture to defend, or that other people have other ideas they are ready to impose those ideas on us. With guns, with slow motion invasions, with multi-culti demands, grinding immigration and suicide bombings.

Therefore I am resigned to suffering additional outrage. I hope and pray it's not where I live. I won't consider living in places that I consider "ground zero" for the inevitable, like NYC.

I think a lot about what comes next. So, we sit here watching the Iranians, eventually their overwhelming desire to nuke an American city happens. BOOOM! We lose New York (or 1/2 of Manhattan, or whatever).

What happens the day after? That's the really interesting question. Even then the left will be saying "Bush's Iraq war caused this" "We supported dictators in the past" "not everyone in Iran is to blame" etc.

What does President Hillary say? What does she do? What do we do? Agree to emergency taxes to rebuild the city?

I submit Islam is not a "civilization".

Is it progressing? Is it developing beyond the mere primitives stage?

Is it really a civilization it is founded on reverting all humanity to a wandering dessert lifestyle. Where ignorance is institutionally mandated.

Hardly "civilized".

I'll second that.

Gee, if they find them guilty maybe they can burn the editors at the stake. Actually, scratch that...their Muslim masters would probably prefer a beheading or a good old stoning.

Anyone who thinks "it can't happen here" is living in a dream world. The history of humanity has many more killer totalitarians than proponents of democracy. It's time to stand together...

Danish courts will determine whether the newspaper [that] originally published the cartoons...is guilty of blasphemy."

How ya know when the Muzlemofascsits have successfully taken over your nation......blasphemy vs free speech

When the state declares free speech to be blasphemy you are officially under Sharia law and

You Have Been Assimilated

imo

Not a clash of civilizations, a civil war in the West with the Muslims as a weapon of the left. The problem isn't Islam, it's the "anti-racism" left who are committing genocide against their own people.

The problem isn't Islam, it's the "anti-racism" left who are committing genocide against their own people.

That's about the best summation of the problem I've heard so far.
