“The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious.” -Marcus Aurelius
This is no small thing. By caving in this manner, Disney is allowing, much like modern grade schools, that how Muslims or communists feel about an issue is much more important than how they do, or in fact what the historical facts are. This is the sort of stuff of which, had we read it in history books, we would be asking how people could have let thus happen.
According to a witness at the scene of yesterday’s murder of a refugee in Germany by two other refugees, (please see yesterday’s post here) the victim was eating an ice cream cone, which enraged the attackers because it is Ramadan.
To be clear:
A man in Germany, was murdered for violating a minor tenet of sharia law on the streets of Oldenburg, in broad daylight. While two men have been arrested, they will someday be released, if they are even convicted at all. But the notion that there could be an instant death penalty for violating a sharia norm, even though its dead centre of permissible by German law, is going to be understood by all.
That is why this was an act of war, and not a crime. It was an attack on the German system of laws, the culture, the basis on which decisions are made.
In fact this gives Germans and the rest of us an opportunity to fight back using the one method that remains temporarily legal. Eat in public and make sure muslims see you, for all of Ramadan.
Do this or like drawing Mohammad, you will lose the right to do so post haste.
This is also a good time to remind people never to use the relativist term, “honour killing” when a woman is murdered for not obeying an Islamic edict. Instead, the term, “sharia enforcement” or “sharia killing” must be used, not because it is spin, but because it is not. Women are never murdered for embarrassing a father or tribe or family. Its always because they did something that went against the ordered behavioural/dress codes for some in Islam. This is no small distinction.
