The Iron Burka
By Fjordman
According to sharia, non–Muslim dhimmis can on certain conditions be allowed to retain their lives under Islamic rule, provided that they are totally submissive to Muslims at all times. Any perceived insult, however slight, could immediately trigger violent retaliations. In practice, a mere rumor that somebody has done something which displeases Muslims can cause murders. This is how the few remaining Christians in Pakistan, for instance, live on a daily basis.
If just a single non–Muslim says anything critical about Islam, his entire community can in principle be punished for this. Basically, this means that if one person in the USA or Denmark makes a cartoon mocking Muhammad, this could potentially trigger Jihadist attacks against his entire country for “waging a war against Islam” because his “tribe” is held collectively responsible for his actions. This was the Islamic logic behind the terrorist attack in Stockholm in 2010. There is no such thing as an individual in these cultures; the tribe is everything.
Muslim spokesmen are usually quick following any attempted or successful Jihadist terrorist attack to state that all Muslims should not be punished for the actions of a few individuals, yet this is precisely what their own Islamic sharia laws prescribe for all non–Muslims worldwide.
The later infamous Muhammad cartoons controversy began after 12 editorial cartoons were published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten in the fall of 2005. This triggered riots in several countries a few months later. Jyllands–Posten has since then been the target of many foiled attacks. In December 2010, a serious terror operation was thwarted by the security services. The suspects, all Muslim men, were arrested on suspicion of planning an attack against the Copenhagen offices of the newspaper, intended to kill as many people as possible.
