Writing is also a bomb: The Moderate Muslim Threat

I have written many times that the greatest threat to Western Civilization is not al Qaeda or Muslim terrorists; it is your common, ordinary, average, moderate Joe or Jane Jihadi. The moderate Muslim does not blow up school buses or train stations or hospitals. The moderate Muslim does not slit the throats of Jews living peacefully in France. As brutal as these acts of terror may be, Civilization will continue and flourish despite the loss of a few hundred poor souls slaughtered by radical Islam.



But the real danger is in fact actually the moderate Muslim who, when offended by all that is infidel, demands that those offenses be removed or destroyed. In the civilized world we call those things science, women's rights, learning, free-speech, art, progress, technology, and freedom of the press. Islamic Scholars have even demanded that the West pass laws to criminalize insults to Islam.

Muslim Cartoon Censored

I would like to report the following news to you, my dear readers, using the new protocol suggested by our government in referring to terror groups. That is, to avoid referring to al-Qaida and other terrorist groups as Islamic or Muslim, and not to use terms like jihad or mujaheddin. Basically, we should avoid using terms that we in the West consider to have negative connotations when they, the , consider those terms in a positive light.

Normally, I view censor bars as silly devices that attempt to mask the truth but end up in fact revealing more than they hide. In the following case we may in fact see the truth more plainly through their use. So here is an article from Reuters that might interest those of you that follow the activities of UNRWA in Israel...

Is there any country worse than Israel?

The Queen of Hearts

The year was 1951 and I was only a few months past my 6th birthday when I fell in love with Disney's animated feature Alice in Wonderland. The previous year I had seen my first Disney film, Cinderella, and I thought that was the best thing I had ever seen in my 6 years of life, but now this Alice - this was mesmerizing.

The lunacy of Wonderland was intoxicating with characters and scenes popping up here and there with no sense or reason; I shivered as Alice struggled through the menacing forest; I couldn't take my ears off the mentholated purring of the Cheshire Cat; I strained to decipher the gibble-gabble of the Mad Hatter and his friends; I was a thrall to my seat throughout the film.

One thing that children are most sensitive to is the unfairness of adults. We want to stay up all night but mom says no. We want to eat ice cream and push away the broccoli but dad says we can only get to enjoy ice cream after we clean the plate. We want to run with scissors and swing wooden swords at our little brother but nanny takes away our weapons. So what I remember most starkly and what has remained riveted in my mind to this day was the ridiculously unfair trial of Alice by the tyrannical Queen of Hearts.

If you recall, the Queen summons the March Hare, the Mad Hatter and the Dormouse as witnesses against Alice and they end up holding an absurd, unbirthday party for her.


So now, whenever the UN demands, "Off with her head," in regard to Israel, no matter who's at fault, I am reminded of Alice in Wonderland.

The UN Human Rights Council was established on 15 Mar 2006. By April of 2007 the Council had passed nine resolutions condemning Israel and had been the only country the UN Human Rights Council had specifically condemned [Wiki].

Come on now, just on a practical level, more people die in Darfur in one month than Palestinians in the entire 8 years past, yet the Sudan, a country with egregious human rights abuses gets a pass from the Council with only an expressed "deep concern." Does that make any sense at all?
