I found this Wiki entry very interesting in light of Obama being a Muzzie.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire
“In the Ottoman Empire, in accordance with the Muslim dhimmi system, Christians were guaranteed limited freedoms (such as the right to worship), but were treated as second-class citizens. They were forbidden to carry weapons or ride on horseback, their houses could not overlook those of Muslims, and their religious practices would have to defer to those of Muslims, in addition to various other legal limitations.[153]”
Now I can understand why Obama is pushing the gun control and electric car agendas so hard.
The dhimmi system is rather clever. It allows a marginal existence that for most people will be such as to discourage rebellion against the Muslims.
Such a system will gradually push people into converting.
At the same time, those who change their minds and rebel will find themselves in a disadvantageous position vis a vi the Muslims.
