The Supremacist Roots of Muslim 'Grievances'

In the ongoing debate (or debacle) concerning free speech/expression and Muslim grievance – most recently on exhibition in Garland, where two “jihadis” opened fire on a “Prophet Muhammad” art contest organized by Pamela Geller – one thing has become clear: the things non-Muslims can do to provoke Islamic violence is limitless – and far exceeds cartoons.

Writes Victor Davis Hanson, for example:

[Pamela] Geller, and not the jihadists who sought to kill those with whom they disagreed, was supposedly at fault. Her critics could not figure out that radical Muslims object not just to caricatures and cartoons, but to any iconographic representation of Mohammed. Had Geller offered invitations to artists to compete for the most majestic statue of the Prophet, jihadists might still have tried to use violence to stop it. Had she held a beauty pageant for gay Muslims or a public wedding for gay Muslim couples, jihadists would certainly have shown up. Had she offered a contest for the bravest Islamic apostates, jihadists would have galvanized to kill the non-believers. Had she organized a support rally for Israel, jihadists might well have tried to kill the innocent, as they did in Paris when they murderously attacked a kosher market.

But it’s even worse than that. The list of things that non-Muslims can do to provoke Islamic violence grows by the day and accords with the list of things subjugated “infidels” must never do, lest they provoke their Islamic overlords as laid out by Islamic law, or sharia.

As such, the West needs finally to come to terms with the root source of these ubiquitous, easily sparked “Muslim grievances.”

Enter Muslim supremacism.

Thanks for posting this. I sent it to my daughter’s college friend who began spouting criticism of Geller (didn’t know her name). I couldn’t help but engage. Two of the friends thought there should be limits to free speech. I did my best to challenge them but they have been pretty well brain washed by the liberal Social Sciences/Bible departments at an otherwise great Christian university. Then again it kind of sounds like they listen just enough to say an opinion but don’t really know the details. If we donate again, it will be to the Business college or Athletic Department!

Too many Muslims, more so in the Middle East than elsewhere, have not yet accepted the lesson - as Christians only accepted after much sectarian fighting of their own, that your ideas and rules of what is blasphemy apply only to those who believe as you do and only as far as they or anyone else is willing to adhere to them. You can believe that they make someone a better person for believing in them, but you cannot make anyone else follow them.
