To Dhimmi - Nice try

Submitted by Michel (United States), Jan 29, 2007 at 14:38

For once a refreshing new angle indeed. I enjoyed it.

Okay - I admit it - I am a Mullah, who albeit enjoys a pork roast off the barbecue, followed by a nice Remy Martin.
I have a huge congregation of fanatic Muslims, consisting of two Sheepdogs and a cat, who all are by now willing to die for Allah or overthrow the United States Government. We are a sleeper cell, well infiltrated and only wait for the right moment.

Humor aside, do you even realize, how your post does deliver a tragic little bit of evidence as to how desperately the fanatics of this world (and in this Blog) try to "label" people?

What they hate most, as they can not "deal" with such people in their sim\plistic manner, are individuals, who do not "fit" any cliche. It gets uncomfortable, because no clear battle lines can be drawn, no conventional war (of words) can be engaged in. I am "the enemy within", so much harder to attack in a rational manner than the conventional ugly Muslim who offers simple propaganda in return.

Your frustration is evident - It is precisely, why you guys resort to insults, as you cannot bear the idea that within your own people there are members who defy you, oppose you, even find you despicable.

Funny, that , as opposed to you, Mr. or Mrs Dhimmi No More, I was not afraid to use my real full name and not hide behind some (stupid) slogan.

Want some proof for my self-confidence and your cowardice? I have nothing to hide. Google me and you may find my website on spaces. You'll see that I am the guy next door.. Now - where are you, my anonymous friend? Care to prove me wrong, as far as your cowardice is concerned?

Didn't think so, as for sure you 'd be using the "excuse" to be afraid that some muslim fanatic will pay you a visit. (LOL)

As far as your label is concerned, indeed, I do not really know what I am, as no category seems to apply. Now consider this, my one-dimensional friend:

My parents were Jewish refugees, father's last name was originally "weisz von horstenstein", before forced by the comunists to adopt a "true" hungarian name (zala = region in Hungary - look it up, if you wish). Grandparents and father experienced Mauthausen, only father survived. Because he was so traumatized, he raised us, accepting a terrible cognitive dissonance, as Roman Catholics in Switzerland, from where I 1992 emmigrated to California. I am a staunch Republican, supporting many Democratic stands, such as the women's right to choose.

I have indeed given up on the Catholic Church - too rigid - and currently my spiritual home is a mix of Judeo/Christian/Taoism/Buddhism principles. I practise my religion (privately) , but despise pretty much any form of Religious Organization (Church), as these ( at least those I tried) manifest exclusive and intolerant attributes.

I own guns, but am against "the right to bear arms, as currently enforced". Top level aerospace executive, classic capitalist, yet got humbled by the misery encountered during many travels. I am a white caucasian, blue eyed blond person who could easily fit in any of your Red Neck meetings.

I am not Muslim, but only encountered many during my travels and now proudly call them "friends".
Don't you hate that? A capitalist, western republican, proud American of Jewish origin who stands against his own by having Muslim friends? Oh, so incredibly sorry, how I can feel your pain (LOL)

Now go ahead, my one dimensional expert on Muslims - label me. Eat that and try to put that into a cliche drawer!

I know you hate the idea, that it would in fact be me, who had true justification to hate, as so many fanatic Muslims wish and try to wipe some of my own family in tiny Israel off the map. I know how much you hate that this mumbo jumbo guy promotes even radical intrusive means at times ( IRAN), as it does not fit your image of the "muslim Lover". You do not know what to do with that. That's why you so conveniently disregard, where I actually agree with Noah on "extreme" measures. You hate the idea that It is me who had a right to condemn and had mitigating circumstances, if I called for banning and deportation, not you, who sees the world from the narrowe-minded perspective of their home computers.

Yet - I do not call for the Western Style Djihaad, whereas you desk- jockeys, who in your case, dhimmi, even learned Arabic, do exactly that, and that dilemma makes you fuuuuuuuuuuurious.(LoL)
Can't deny a certain satisfaction.....

You, Dhimmi, are an especially intetresting one. I myself speak five languages, but I would never dare to state that I truly know and understand the individual cultures.

Mo was absolutely right - in order to truly understand the meanings of their book, one needs to be part of that culture. Grow up within.

I take it a step further:

learning the language as a westerner is not good enough to be an "expert". At best, I give you credit to translate to the level of a handheld pocket translator - so come down from your high horse, dhimmi, abandon your arrogance. Stop explaining the Koran to Muslims or anyone else who wants to listen, but maybe entertain the approach of Plato and simply ask intelligent questions and respectfully wait for their answers, instead of pre-empting them or dismiss them with an insult.

But that would not be fun, would it now?
To label, belittle and patronize gives you guys some form of sick pleasure. But then again - whatever makes you happy.
Oversized egos, hatred and intolerance manifested by small, anonymous, unimportant people who hate their status in life and in consequence quite actually themselves.

Yes - like a mosquito - you are annoying. Nothing more. Anonymous and unimportant.
And man, are you hating that fact!, Drives you crazy, doesn't it?

Go ahead, enjoy this blog as platform for your wonderful medieval ideas, as it is pretty much the extent of how far you'll ever be able to get exposure. (Fortunately! I might add.)

Hate to admit it, but my time here was a waste of time. Other than a couple of "normal" people who actually allowed me to learn something, it brought out the worst human kind has to offer. If I was not the eternal optimist, I'd be truly depressed by now.

A tragic confirmation for the fact that we are the last people who should be looking down on others, as we (still after all this time and history) are nothing but cavemen with hi-speed internet connections.

My conclusion: you are spoiled, brainwashed children in dire need of a a spanking and then some quality time with the people you so easily condemn.
