You must read this article by Bruce Bawer. But take your blood pressure medication first. And keep breakable objects out of arm’s reach.
Islam divides the world into two parts. The part governed by sharia, or Islamic law, is called the Dar al-Islam, or House of Submission. Everything else is the Dar al-Harb, or House of War, so called because it will take war—holy war, jihad—to bring it into the House of Submission.
If you thought that Socialism benefited from useful idiots, you ought to contemplate how idiotic Islam’s useful are.
Leading liberal intellectuals and academics have shown a striking willingness to betray liberal values when it comes to pacifying Muslims. Back in 2001, Unni Wikan, a distinguished Norwegian cultural anthropologist and Islam expert, responded to the high rate of Muslim-on-infidel rape in Oslo by exhorting women to “realize that we live in a multicultural society and adapt themselves to it.”
Mark Steyn, who knows something about Jihad’s efforts to silence critics, summed it up nicely in a different context:
In a scrupulously politically correct age, it’s not offensive to organize a “Kill the police!” demo or to preach that the government invented Aids in order to perpetrate an African-American genocide. You can pull that stuff and still be part of respectable society, hanging out with presidential candidates and whatnot. What’s grotesquely offensive is the chap who’s insensitive enough to point out such statements and associations.
(Steyn further notes that the Muslim Brotherhood may have its filthy fingerprints on his case.)
So allow me to be grotesquely offensive and point out that Islam’s useful idiots and Socialism’s useful idiots appear to be the same idiots.
I’ll go further: Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a heroine. And every Muslim man who beats his wife or forces his daughter into marriage is a pig and a coward. And every idiot, Muslim or not, who wants to impose Sharia law on the world can, to borrow a phrase from a favorite TV show, go frak themselves.
Multiculturalism is death. Or, more precisely, suicide.
