Snippets:
We are witnessing an Islamicized America. This is well beyond political correctness. We are enforcing shariah law. We will not insult Islam. That is shariah law. We self censor. That is shariah law. We disrespect ourselves, our nation, so that we might respect Islam. This is dhimmitude. We should be raging. We should be outraged. We should be strategizing for this worldwide conflict. We should be debating about which leader will best handle Islam's war on the west. And yet we have not one leader who begins to understand the conflict -- that's how feared the subject matter is. Not one leader.
The real enemy — in the sense of the most important enemy — isn’t a bunch of flea-bitten jihadis sitting in a cave somewhere. It’s Western civilization’s craziness. We are setting our hair on fire and putting it out with a hammer.
Thank you for the ping MamaDearest.
No, it's not. It is, of course, political correctness run amok. It is also adopting an attitude of dhimmitude. But let's at least be honest - it isn't sharia. Nobody here has to pay the jizya, nobody is being sentenced by the courts to be stoned to death for adultery, nor any of the other aspects of Islamic justice. Nor are women expected to wear the burqa.

On the other hand, this is a very apt characterization. We haven't (yet!) been subjected to sharia - but the West (or at least much of it) is going off the deep end of craziness.
Thanks for the pings, but I’m not going to follow this Fort Hood terrorism case any further. I can’t take it.
Kudos for this post & Pamela Geller for writing it
