How Much Of Our Culture Are We Surrendering To Islam?
2016-06-23
"The same hatred as from Nazis is coming from Islamists and their politically correct allies. We do not even have a vague idea of how much Western culture we have surrendered to Islam.

Democracies are, or at least should be, custodians of a perishable treasury: freedom of expression. This is the biggest difference between Paris and Havana, London and Riyadh, Berlin and Tehran, Rome and Beirut. Freedom of expression is what gives us the best of the Western culture.

It is self-defeating to quibble about the beauty of cartoons, poems or paintings. In the West, we have paid a high price for the freedom to do so. We should all therefore protest when a German judge bans "offensive" verses of a poem, when a French publisher fires an "Islamophobic" editor or when a music festival bans a politically incorrect band."

#4  Repeating the same bad idea over, and over, and over ingrains it into the lexicon and forms an accommodation mindset.

"Just say NO", was not specific enough to be assimilated.
"No Smoking", was successful as it formed 'Us vs. Them' associations reinforcing fight or flight impulse behavior.
"Mothers against drunk drivers", vocalized but not successful because Mothers are always angry.
"Don't drink and derive", very successful, but with limited acceptance except among mathematicians.
"Bad Cop, no donuts", sarcastically targeted behavior of a small already tightly integrated social grouping.
"Where's the beef?", offended Hindus everywhere.

"Don't marry your cousin" probably won't stick.

#3  Way too much of our culture is being surrendered to the IslamoNazis. It's suicidal and lemming like. Hard to figure why the leftist dhimmis are so eager to put their necks under the knife other than because of the WH.

#2  Every concession, every minute of discussion, every conversation is a waste of good productive time. They have no place in America's society.
