More Islamic Alarmism

One of the latest headlines out of that most useful of "world bodies", the United Nations, once again points to just how worthless that body is.

"Islamaphobia on rise, especially in Europe - U.N. envoy"

Mr. Doudou Diene, the UN special rapporteur on racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related forms of intolerance, (Did you know that, the longer your title, the lower your position?) states that the amount of "intolerance" against Islam world-wide points towards a serious problem. His evidence?

"Recent acts of defamation in the shape of blasphemous sketches in Sweden and posters in Switzerland reinforce this conclusion."

Huh? That's the best you can do? Point towards a single cartoon of Muhammed, and it points towards the terrible intolerance of the Western nations? Tell me this: How does a caricature show intolerance? And where is the anger when someone puts a Christian cross in urine and calls it "art"?

Next question: Did that cartoon actually kill anyone? You'll have to forgive me here, but on 9/11, I lost almost 3,000 of my fellow citizens. How many people did that cartoon kill? Okay, more than one. Why? Because the Islamists got so pissed off, they actually went out and killed other Islamists.

It really sucks when certain people discover that no right is absolute. Freedom of religion doesn't trump freedom of expression. That's what really pisses off those fundamentalist Muslims, isn't it? They want men to be supreme, women to be compliant, children to be unheard and unseen, and everyone else to know that Muhammed is, in actuality, God.

Bullshit.

That caricature did not incite to violence, as a Muslim TV show in Lebanon did recently. The "grandfather" of the current Muslim fundamentalist movement made much more violent statements, yet nothing is said of that. Of course not. The Western nations, especially the US, are responsible for all the worlds ills.

Well, we're not. We didn't start this crap. But we're having to deal with it. Do you know why Iraq is such a mess? It's because the people of the Middle East wouldn't know peace if it came up and bit them in the ass. Peace? They have no idea of the concept. The idea of compromise doesn't enter into their vocabulary. So stop with the exhortation that we're causing all of their problems by being "intolerant". When it comes to intolerance, the Western nations are even in the same league as those of the Middle East.

If you want a shorter response, here it is: Bite me.
