Well....................................
ANYBODY waked up yet????
Dhimmitude is not merely a second-class citizenship, it is slavery and perpetual tribute paid to avoid execution on the spot.
Slavery, as an institution, was pretty much eliminated in the West over a century and a half in the past, and law codes were rewritten to support that principle. But it exists today in much of the world of Islam, where persons are held in bondage (the entire female gender), and much of the rest of those under the ministrations of Shari’ah law are subject to severe restrictions on their basic freedoms, of choice, of speech, of associating freely with others, of private ownership of means of production, and even of life itself, which may rest upon the whim of an autocratic authority figure to whom there is no challenge, no appeal, uncertain mercy, and a very skewed view of “justice”.
A few of the Noble Islamic Gentlemen at the top of the food chain may have some latitude of freedom in their actions, but even they may find themselves afoul of some obscure interpretation of the ravings of a sun-crazed old sand hermit who lived some 14 centuries in the past, and was suffering from mental derangement probably identifiable as schizophrenic paranoia. The ideology he produced was in its way much more pernicious than even the Scientology of L. Ron Hubbard, or the Hare Krishna. Both of those “new” religions will allow its practitioners to leave (though not without a lot of follow-up and attempts to re-instill the faith), but Islam, well, the price for leaving (or even attempting to bring constructive criticism to bear) is death, no excuses, no mercy, and no appeal. Well, unless some powerful force causes the small oligarchy that directs these decisions to surrender up the subject of this persecution to the more powerful force’s custody.
