Fjordman’s latest essay has been published at FrontPage Mag. Some excerpts are below:
Dhimmis are non-Muslims under Islamic rule who are not just second-rate citizens in their own country but could almost be described as non-citizens, lacking basic rights and protection for themselves and their families in many situations. Dhimmis are supposed to be subservient and obedient to Muslims at all times and are required to forever pay them substantial amounts of protection money, jizya, in “willing submission” to Islamic rule.
Muslims love to portray themselves as innocent, blameless victims and predictably complain after nearly every Jihadist terror attack that all Muslims should not be punished for the actions of a few individuals. However, they carefully leave out the fact that this is precisely what their own Islamic law and logic dictates for non-Muslims.
If even one non-Muslim dhimmi says or does something that displeases a Muslim, this can and sometimes does trigger violent retribution against his entire community. In practice, a mere rumor falsely planted by a Muslim who holds a personal grudge against a specific non-Muslim can be enough to trigger riots, murder and mayhem. This means that non-Muslims in countries harboring sizable Muslim populations live under a constant shadow of fear of Muslim violence and abuse. If one of them at any given time says something critical of Islam or its founder, this can trigger violent attacks and murder against his entire clan, tribe or nation based on the flimsiest excuse.
Christ, Fjordman. I am still reading ‘Deafeating Eurabia’. I just got to the part about Sweden, the police uniforms, the rapes, the Albanian thugs, and the firemen.
It’s hard to stomach all this. It’s sick. I want to throw up just reading things like “the Swedes have no greater right to the country than the Iraqis”.
I know it wasn’t in Sweden, but if this is what Anders Breivik was seeing on a daily basis, no wonder he became a psychopath. This is enough to send even the most normal of people into an uncontrollable rage. We are being wiped out. How can we resist?
It is this “couldnt give a shit” crusading of the West in Arab Muslim countries, that is the cause of the simmering resentment of Muslims against the West. Muslims are convinced by their ideology of Islam, that they are to be conquerors. And yet, here they are, not even the most powerful Muslim nation can stand up to less then 1% of the West’s military that is immediately available. They are reliant on us for food, money, and to take their surplus population. They are beggars in their home countries, and rely on Welfare in the West. Heck, even I would be humiliated, leave alone a group of people, who have been inculcated from birth, that they are conquerors.
What we are seeing is the defeat of Islam on its own terms – Osama knew the psychology of his people – strong horse etc. His 9/11 attack, was a last thrashing out against what he saw was the eventual defeat of Islam. Going out with a bang. Islam is finished.

I visited our local jewish museum last night, and struck up a conversation with one of the attendants. According to her, the third, dhimmi, way of living under islamic rule doesn’t exist, there’s only two: convert, or die. In light of reported evidence throughout the middle east and muslim africa, i suspect she’s right.
DP the troops complain about not being allowed to win the war, their hands are tied more then they were in Nam.
