Dhimwit of the Month
by Stix1972 (R-IL) (VRWC) ~ February 29th, 2008. Filed under: Shaking Down Socialistic Squirrels and other nuts!.It is also that time of the month for the Dhimwit of theMonth award, and who could have guessed this one. IT is none other than the Head Dhimmi of the Church of England, Rowan Williams.
Sphere: Related ContentDhim·mi (dîm-mî or zîm-mî) - An Islamic term that refers to a subjugated non-Muslim person living in a Muslim society. Second-class status is confirmed by the legal system and dhimmis do not share the rights of their Muslim rulers. (ex. of use: “Hey Jimmy, if you want to be a dhimmi, then you’d better learn how to shimmy.”)
Dhim·wit (dïm-wît) - A non-Muslim member of a free society that abets the stated cause of Islamic domination with remarkable gullibility. A dhimwit is always quick to extend sympathy to the very enemy that would take away his or her own freedom (or life) if given the opportunity.
February 2008 Dhimwit: Rowan Williams
Anglican Archbishop Rowan Williams says its time to bring
Sharia law to Britain. Aside from Hindus, Christians, Jews, atheists,
artists, homosexuals, drinkers, intellectuals and women, we can’t
possibly imagine anyone objecting to such a sensible suggestion.We aren’t sure what explains the recent enthusiasm with which Anglican Church leaders been bending over to grab their ankles when the subject turns to Islam. From John Pritchard, the Bishop of Oxford, who wants to hear the Islamic call to prayer echoing across the English countryside from loudspeakers, to Chaplain Philip Gray, who actually compared the 7/7 bombers to Jesus, Anglican clergy are clearly intent on reducing their religion to minority status.
Now, Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, has momentarily outdone the others by proposing that “elements” of Sharia (Islamic law) be allowed to operate independently of British law as a means of placating the restless UK Muslim population. Presumably he is not speaking of the portions that call for the beheading of apostates, the beating of wives, the amputation of limbs, nor the stoning of homosexuals and adulterers… but where exactly did he get the idea that Sharia is a smorgasbord?
How long does the Archbishop think Muslims will be happy with a government that validates Islamic law, but then tells them which parts they can and can’t practice? (We advise non-Muslim Brits to either start greasing up early or work on that stiff upper lip, because the smart money is on a very short honeymoon).
Rather than setting the stage for a long series of concessions to Muslim demands, we would suggest an alternative: remind the Muslims in Britain who want to live under Islamic law that there are places in the world where it is practiced. No one is forcing them to live under the British system.
Now, if it sounds cruel and heartless to tell Muslims to go raise their families in places that are characterized by civil oppression, economic disaster and totalitarianism just so they can experience life in an Islamic country, then, for god’s sake, connect the dots! This is precisely the case against the Muslim way.
We also have a similar suggestion for the Archbishop: don’t drag the rest of us down with you. If you want to live as a dhimmi, then we’ll gladly pick up the tab on a one-way ticket to Gaza.
