Definition: Dhimmi (Arabic: ذمي‎ [ˈðɪmːiː]), (collectively أهل الذمة ahl ahl al-dhimmah, "the people of the dhimma or people of the contract") is a non-Muslim subject of a state governed in accordance with sharia law. The dhimma is a theoretical contract based on a widely held Islamic doctrine granting special status to Jewish, Christian, and other non-Muslim subjects. Dhimma provides rights of residence in return for taxes.[1] Dhimmi have fewer legal and social rights than Muslims, but more rights than other non-Muslims.[2] They are excluded from the specifically Muslim duties, and otherwise equal under the laws of property, contract and obligation.

I am well aware of Dhimmitude’s Muslim meaning...I have a bookcase full of literature about Islam, Muhammad, jihad, etc.

When I apply that term to the Democrats, what I have in mind is precisely the type of behavior being exhibited by Hussein toward Muslim culture during his Asian trip.
