God-crazy ghouls and good Germans
“You are without shame or morals. We will cut your throat from vein to vein if needed to protect the spirit and moral of this nation.”
This is an excerpt from a longer letter, sent by a radical Palestinian group to more than a dozen women television broadcasters working in Gaza and the West Bank. If the women refused to wear strict Islamic dress, it read, they would be beheaded.
Obviously, the people behind these threats are sickening, moral retards - and I can already hear that big choir of offended Muslims responding, Don’t judge all of us because of a few.
Well, I’m sorry but I ain’t buying that argument any longer. In the West, the newspapers are full of reports that condemn the actions of Bush, Blair and the other idiot war mongers. There’s a whole culture of protest: from music, books and plays to the (mostly ordered) rituals of demonstrations, peace camps and what have you.
The so-called moderate Muslim majority can’t be bothered though to publicly address and rebuke their moronic fringe - and about the only time you see Muslim demonstrators out in the street, it’s to protest something that, compared to Western wars and Muslim terrorist threats & outrages, is quite marginal and stupid, like a handful of cartoons or some offending novel.
Then you do see the representatives of this peaceful religion pouring out in the streets, their faces ugly with hatred and blood lust - with placards that call for the death of all infidels, with burning effigies of this politician or that writer or cartoonist. Then there will be looting, fires and a few murders here and there - and cries like, Death to those who insult the peace of Islam, or calls for another “real “ holocaust.
So, a pox on all extremists, be they Christian, Muslim, or of any other intolerant persuasion - and a pox on all history’s good Germans too.
And yes, most definitely, that means you: the so-called moderates who now (yet again) stay so damn quiet while your ‘brothers’ threaten your own women.
In a way, this silent majority is even more disgusting than the mad killers and the psychotic violence junkies who praise them. Insanity is an excuse in law - silent complicity is not.
P.S.: Incoming news… More silence, anyone?
