No Apologies Necessary
By Bob Parks (08/03/07)
I am tired of apologizing. I am tired of apologizing to Muslims. It's not something that's happened overnight. It's taken a while, but now, no more apologies.
We, as modern societies, have opened our borders to Muslims. What have we gotten in return? Demands. If we complain, we're called racists. We apologize. And why do we apologize? The fear of violence. That's right, I said it, and that's what most of you are thinking.
How have we bent over backwards for Muslims? Here are some of the more recent examples….
Three wives of a Qatari Sheik held up a flight bound for England because they refused to sit next to men they didn't know. Some passengers refused to change their seats because they were traveling with people they knew.
In San Diego, Muslim students demanded time to pray during the school day, so a second lunch period was created. Younger students will go to the first lunch period, and the older students and Muslims will go to the second. When was the last time anyone created anything special for a Christian? All that would bring is the old "Separation of church and state" chant.
We depend on taxis to take people home that've had a few too many adult beverages so they don't get behind the wheel. But some Muslim cabbies won't drive anyone who's consumed alcohol, and they also have a problem with Seeing Eye dogs, so they demanded they kick the blind to the curb as well.
In Germany, a judge actually ruled that a Moroccan man could beat his wife because it was legal. Not under German law, but under Sharia Law, so the judge cast aside German law as not to offend. In fact, some have publicly stated they want Sharia Law to become the law of the land in America.
We celebrate "freedom of expression" and allow artists to paint pictures of the Virgin Mary splattered with elephant dung or place a crucifix in a jar of urine, but when a Danish newspaper artist created a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad, all hell broke loose around the world. He apologized but that wasn't enough. There were riots. Many were killed… over cartoons.
And while I'm saying what many are thinking, but don't have the guts to say because it's politically incorrect, violence is the one thing that seems to follow some Muslims around the most.
We've had terror bombings at nightclubs and on trains in Bali and Madrid. Let's not forget about the riots in France. There are few Middle Eastern countries where suicide bombings aren't the flavor of the day. Killing an enemy or infidel to some is rewarded with a promised eternity with 70 regenerating virgins. How many terror bombings do we have here in America compared to some other countries on a daily basis?
There are many examples where people who have chosen to come to our countries issue us demands. As thanks, we get more demands and the results are submission to them under the threat of possible violence. A lot of the time, we get the violence anyway.
Some may call me intolerant. That would be the PC thing to respond. But I'm tired of being tolerant. It's gotten us nothing but more demands, censorship, and in some cases, death.
Muslims come to our nations for freedom. To some, freedom means taking away ours. If they don't like the way we live, they are also free to leave any time they want.
No apologies necessary.
