my problem is with accommodating this backwardsness in the name of tolerance
do we want them to stay the same? is it a good thing that uk banks offer islamic finance options? no its fucking not. its not good that we try and accommodate them with halal food. we should be CORRUPTING their superstitions and beliefs. we should be forcing them to adapt to democratic norms, not giving up our values in the name of protecting their fantasies.
but in the name of anti racism and guilt over all the murderous atrocity and mayhem we've caused in their countries, too many people seem to want to excuse this barbarism. as if the satirists had it coming because they were racist.
isnt it racist to try and excuse muslims for these crimes as if they can't possibly help it and their ways need to be protected? really? do we think its a GOOD thing that they are too sensitive to have their religion mocked? something we want to encourage in the name of respect? that kind of attitude is absurd.
there are no muslim voices calling for a relaxing of iconoclasm, every single one ive seen on the news so far has been obfuscating and talking about debate being the answer. they arent saying 'we need to get over our non existent god'. they might condemn the violence but no muslim is ok with the cartoons existing.
