“I have many good friends who are Jewish. However, until 9/11, I could never really empathize entirely with the feeling of total revulsion they must have seeing people in Nazi uniforms. I certainly never has such feelings towards Russians, for example, even though their government wanted to destroy our system of life and replace it with communism. Then came 9/11 and the joyous celebration of this hideous, utterly wanton atrocity, by just about all the world’s influential Mudslimes and all the dissembling and excuse making by every influential Mudslime group in this country. Now, when I see any of them in public wearing their traditional garb I fell the same, entirely rational, psycho-physical revulsion toward them my Jewish friends must feel towards individuals in Nazi uniforms. Strange thing, when you know somebody probably wants to murder you in the most horrible ways imaginable just because you’re a loyal American, it tends to affect you a bit.”
Both excellent posts.
I feel exactly the same way. When I see a Muslim, particularly a woman in Islamic garb, I feel nothing but contempt inside. Of course, I won’t openly insult them (the time has yet to come for that, but someday such behavior may come within The West). But I will intentionally use mild facial expressions to indicate my disdain for them, and for what they represent to me.
I realize that one of the seeming core principles of conservatism has been to treat all the same. However, I can state that I no longer harbor “egalitarian fantasies”. We cannot, should not, MUST NOT “treat equally” those who [in their very deepest beliefs] harbor the desire to kill us or make us dhimmis.
To cling to such notions is suicide. Even Mr. Jefferson was wrong about that...
