Sacrificing Children To Multiculturalism

There's a barbaric ritual that's widely practiced in parts of Africa and the Middle East. This ritual is performed on female minors as young as infants and it's meant to "protect" their sexual purity by keeping them virginal until marriage. This ritual is often performed without anesthesia and with unsterilized instruments or even pieces of glass. This causes immense pain and trauma to the youngsters who are forced to endure this torture and exposes them to death from infection and/or excessive bleeding. What is this horror? It's female genital mutilation (FGM), also known as female circumcision. And this uncivilized--yes, uncivilized--practice has reared its ugly head in the West.

Female genital mutilation was brought to the West by immigrants from FGM-practicing cultures. Most Western nations have been both socially and legally hostile to the practice, but just this month a prestigious organization in America has given a nod to a "mild" form of the ritual. In a reversal of its 1998 policy, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has suggested that American law allow doctors to perform a "nick" on girls from immigrant families. The AAP has compared the severity of the proposed "nick" to that of ear piercing. What's the reason for the AAP's stunning reversal? Ostensibly, it's protection. Allowing this "gentler" form of FGM, the AAP argued, could prevent some girls from being sent to Third World countries for full circumcision, thereby preventing needless suffering and even saving lives. Ah, saving lives. Sounds so humane; too bad it's a total farce.

The real reason the American Academy of Pediatrics endorsed this genital "nick" was to show its cultural sensitivity. Apparently, the organization thought its previous zero tolerance policy toward FMG was too intolerant. So, the AAP chose to advocate this "modified" form of female circumcision to show its open mindedness and to appease certain immigrant communities. Let's make sure we understand what's happened here.

The American Academy of Pediatrics, an organization dedicated to the health of children has, in the name of a dubious sociopolitical dogma, chosen to give legitimacy to a medically unnecessary and barbaric practice performed almost exclusively on children. In short, the AAP has sacrificed children to multiculturalism. To call this an outrage would be an understatement.

Female circumcision is not only barbaric and unnecessary, it's also not a part of Western civilization. The West does not mutilate its daughters. And within the borders of our own countries we, the Western people, have not only the right but the duty to preserve, protect, and promote our own culture with all its morals, values and traditions. Cutting out our daughters' genitals is not a Western value, and we don't need to apologize for that. In fact, we need to be fiercely unapologetic about practicing our own culture in our own lands and expecting immigrants to do the same.

We, the Hesperian people, must make it clear that entrance into our lands is not an unconditional right. Rather, it is contigent upon the willingness of the foreigner to assimilate. Once they enter any one of our countries foreigners should understand, in no uncertain terms, that they are now living under Western culture and their native culture no longer applies. If foreigners don't want to accept this then they should leave or, better yet, not come to the West in the first place. The one thing they definitely have no right to do is demand that we change who we are in order to accommodate them. And the one thing no true Westerner should do is make such a change voluntarily. That's what the AAP has done.

Cultural sensitivity may have some benefits (although none come to mind), but when it extends to legitimizing barbarism it's gone horribly too far. The American Academy of Pediatrics should scrap multiculturalism and return to its job of promoting the medical well-being of children. The AAP should remember the cornerstone of the Hippocratic Oath: First, do no harm. This precept of Western medicine will not only protect Western children but Third World children as well. Did you get that? Western cultural values are beneficial even to people not of the West.

Too bad the American Academy of Pediatrics is blind to the goodness of its own heritage.

The Sultan of Surrender

Barack Obama, the new American president, seems to be trying to pass Europeans in the race down the dhimmi brick road. In a speech before the Turkish parliament today, Obama declared that the US is not at war with Islam. He claimed that the great majority of Muslims have nothing in common with terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda. He went on to claim that Muslims have "enriched America" and then touted his own Muslim roots. Obama then stated that he was converting to Islam and would replace the US Constitution with Sharia law. Just kidding. But not by much.

In his speech at the Democratic National Convention last year, Obama shouted with great passion, "Don't tell me Democrats don't want to defend America!". Well, I'm telling you, Democrats, led by Obama, don't want to defend America nor Western Christian civilization. The American president's performance in Turkey proved that. Not only did he grovel to Muslims but he took swipes at his own country. Obama dredged up America's past injustices to Blacks and Native Americans, as if that had anything to do with Muslims. He repudiated Gitmo and stated that, under his administration, America would not torture, all but saying that under the previous administration she had. This is a frightening shame.

Americans and Christian Westerners at large ARE at war with Islam, not because we want to be but because Islam chose to be at war with us. And Islam made that choice centuries ago. In 652 AD Arab Muslims first attacked Christian Sicily. In 717 AD Muslims laid seige for the first time to Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Christian Empire. In 711 Muslims began their conquest of Christian Spain and tried to conquer the rest of Europe but were stopped in France by Charles Martel in 732 AD. All of this Islamic aggression against the West occurred hundreds of years BEFORE the Crusades, Christendom's belated defensive wars that are always blamed for causing the animosity between the West and Islam. And Muslims kept attacking Europe for hundreds of years AFTER the Crusades, inflicting great oppression and suffering on the native Christian population. Obama mentioned none of this.

When Barack Obama spoke before the Turkish Parliament he spoke like the perfect dhimmi. He apologized for America's "sins" while not demanding or even expecting a reciprocal mea culpa from the Muslim world, even though one was definitely in order. Instead, he purposely left the impression that America, the West in general, is the only civilization to have done wrong in history. Obama did mention the Armenian genocide, but he didn't call it a genocide in deference to the Muslim Turks. He wasn't so concerned with the feelings of his fellow Christians, though, nor with historical truth.

Barack Obama is hailed by the American and international Left as a great new leader, the bringer of much needed change after the "arrogant" and "warmongering" Bush administration. And the Left is right. Barack Obama is leading a wave of change in America and the West, but it won't bring the results the Left is promising us. Obama's conciliatory, self-hating pose before the Islamic world will only breed contempt for us in the hearts of our Muslim enemies. They now see that not only is America, the world's lone super power, weak, but we are celebrating that weakness as a great leap forward. Obama has stepped onto the world stage as the Great Surrenderer and he's being lionized for it. The jihadis are watching, and we will pay...dearly.

Quotable Quotes: On Multiculturalism

"If all cultures are equal then cannibalism would just be a matter of taste. That's what the multi culti people just don't understand." Pela68, blogger.

Merry Dhimmitude!

I can't believe what I'm about to write here. No wait, I CAN believe it; I just don't want to. I came across this story on Angel's blog at Woman Honor Thyself and I thought I'd put my spin on it here. Read it and weep.

In Armonk, New York the Islamic star and crescent has been added to the village's Christmas display along with the Christmas tree and the menorah. Never mind that there isn't an Islamic holiday in December; the PC whipped townlet felt it was time to be inclusive--man I hate that word!--and celebrate all cultures during this Christian holiday. Actually, this wasn't the town's idea. Asad Jilani, a Muslim resident of Armonk, felt left out--poor thing!--and asked the village to include the symbol for his religion, you know, the one that inspires people the world over to murder "infidels", i.e. you and me. Such inclusiveness. All to promote peace, you see. Good, good, good vibrations!

When the star and crescent went up Jilani and two other townspeople expressed the majority opinion, calling the Islamic display "very attractive" and Armonk "magnificent" for being so open. The director of the Armonk Chamber of Commerce, Judy Wesley, was pleased at Armonk's "spirit of inclusion" and claimed that "Jesus Christ himself would have gathered everyone around Him." What ARE these people smoking?!?!

Let me explain something to the clueless, self-hating dhimmis of Armonk. Armonk is a town in New York. New York is a state in the United States of America. The U.S. of A is a country in Western civilization. The religious heritage of Western civilization is CHRISTIAN. During Christmas we Westerners celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ who gave us our Christian heritage. Christmas was never meant to be "inclusive". It is an expression of our great Judeo-Christian culture, a culture we should CHERISH, not submerge into a messy, multicultural composite.

The culture that should be celebrated in the West is Western culture, and it should be celebrated without apology. Islam is not part of our heritage, except when we fought against its efforts to conquer us. We have NO obligation to put the star and crescent in our Christmas displays or any where else, for that matter. And if Muslims complain? Tough. Their demands for tolerance and inclusion would have more credibility if they practiced those things themselves. How tolerant is the Islamic Republic of Iran, which hangs homosexuals? How inclusive is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where Islam is the only legal religion?

Instead of whining about being left out of our holiday festivities, Asad Jilani and other Western Muslims should be out protesting the tyranny and intolerance of Muslim societies. And we true Westerners should firmly reject unilateral tolerance, unilateral inclusiveness, and unilateral multiculturalism and recommit ourselves to pride in OUR OWN culture. We need to reawaken ourselves to the greatness of Western Christian civilization and fight for its survival. Otherwise "Merry Christmas" will be replaced with "Merry Dhimmitude".

In the Spirit of Martel may we live!

Why Not Do This To Islam?

It's baaaaaack! "Corpus Christi", a blasphemous, anti-Christian play first performed in New York City in October of 1998 has reared its ugly head again. The play, which depicts Jesus and His disciples as homosexuals, is set to open on February 7 in Sydney, Australia as part of the city's annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. Robert Forsyth, Anglican Bishop of South Sydney, has condemned "Corpus Christi" as "historical nonsense" and "deliberately, not innocently, offensive". He's right. So where's the pc, anti-hate crowd on this one?

Why is it so acceptable in the West to attack Christianity? Perhaps because Christians don't behead people who insult their faith. True, bomb threats were made against "Corpus Christi" when it first opened but no bombings ever took place. So Christian hating gays and other "progressives" feel free to continually mock, ridicule, and attack Christ and His followers. They fancy themselves daring and brave for doing so. But if they truly wanted to be courageous they would mock, ridicule, and attack Islam.

How about Terrence McNally, author of "Corpus Christi", write a play depicting Mohammed and some of his followers as homosexuals. In the play Abu Bakr, Mohammed's best friend and first convert, could give the "prophet" his six-year-old son in marriage rather than his daughter. Mohammed could consummate this marriage when the boy is ten, as he did in real life with Bakr's daughter Aisha. Later, Mohammed could claim that Allah had given him his adopted son's male lover, instead of wife, as his own. Sure, all this would offend Muslims but so what. McNally and his crowd don't give a you-know-what about offending Christians. Why should Muslims be treated with respect?

It's Islamic regimes that are executing gays as violators of morality. Christians who oppose gay marriage do only that; they don't advocate that the government kill gays in order to enforce Biblical morals. Yet Western gay artists and activists remain fixated on Christianity as the primary threat against them. Cowardice explains this disconnect from reality. If McNally wrote the kind of play described above he'd become an instant target for death. In fact, a British Islamic group did issue a fatwa against McNally when "Corpus Christi" ran in London in 1999. The death edict has never been carried out, probably because Jesus isn't the most important figure in Islam's prophet hierarchy. Blasphemy against Mohammed is an altogether different matter. He IS the top dog and "insulting" him is deadly serious business. After seeing how the practitioners of the religion of peace reacted to the publication of mere cartoons of their "prophet", gay activists have been easily terrorized into silence on Islam's anti-gay violence.

Terrence McNally, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Andres Serrano, and others of their ilk who trade in anti-Christian bigotry while ignoring Islamic oppression of women, religious minorities, and gays deserve utter contempt. They are proof of just how cowardly, corrupt, hateful, and pathetic Hesperia's cultural elite is. No credence should be given to anything they say about Christianity or anything else. They should be opposed as fiercely as we oppose enemies of Western Christian civilization for that, in fact, is what they are.
