| LGF Comment: if I were to stock that book, this place would get blown up! |
| 2005-09-14 |
| A commenter on LGF posted what I think is a dead on indictment of the problem facing western peoples. Here is a San Francisco bookseller horrified at the thought of Robert Spencer's new book, who unconciously blurts out the real reason. The Byzantine empire was not defeated in outright battle, but by hundreds of years of small constant unanswered attacks that gradually destroyed its territory, wealth and people. Instead of meeting the enemy head on, killing them, and taking their land and wealth and becoming stronger in the process, the nobles of Constantinople epitomized personal cowardice. They mentally excused the problem was too difficult, far away and unimportant. It was a problem for the peasants on the border to deal with, not worth the nobles' blood and treasure. The nobles had much loftier concerns, such as their personal pleasure and how many angles can fit on the head of a pin. And each year the empire's borders were push back a little. If the editors think it inappropriate, then delete. Kudos go to Zombie at http://www.zombietime.com/ Why are the media so afraid of CAIR...? I had a seemingly minor but very telling incident today that relates to your question. I was chatting with a friend of mine who just happens to be a buyer for a Bay Area bookstore. This person has a 100% moonbat quotient (which is why I feel free to post this here, since the chance that they read LGF is zero). While we were discussing various popular books, my friend blurted out, "And have you heard of this book The Politically Correct Guide to Islam? Unbelievable! I mean, they're actually selling it on Amazon!" I said, "Not only are they selling it on Amazon, but it's in the top ten nonfiction books in the country." Friend: "Really? You've heard about it?" Me: "Of course. It was #16 on the NY Times bestseller list last week!" Friend: (Mouth drops open in utter shock) "I... I flipped through it and couldn't believe what I was seeing. Stuff like, Does Islam promote violence? YES! I mean, who does this guy think he is?" Me: "Robert Spencer, the author? He's actually pretty knowledgable." (Climactic comment coming...) Friend: "I mean, if I were to stock that book, this place would get blown up!" In one phrase, my friend summed up the battle before us. The Muslims will not need to force us into dhimmitude, for we shall plunge ourselves into dhimmitude willingly, without even being asked. And why? Because it all comes down to the cowardice of the moonbat. They "sympathize" with the terrorists and "justify" terrorism and "hope to feed the crocodile so that they are eaten last" because on some deep level they are deathly afraid of the violence they know the Islamists are capable of. Dhimmitude is the child of fear, and fear is the child of personal cowardice. The moonbats, entirely as a result of their self-centered cowardly fear, have all become quislings ready to betray the entire civilization for just a few more years of hedonism. They have ceded the playground to the bullies. They are offering tributes of submission to a distant tribe they've never met but whose reputation they fear. It's bad enough when a nation has a single quisling amongst its ranks; but when 40% of the population are quislings, you have a Code 5 Situation on your hands. The Terror Threat color ranking may only be at yellow, but the Quisling Threat color ranking is at luminsecent magenta/neon green epilepsy-inducing pulsating checkerboard. |

| #7 Barbara it's not worth the effort nor is the site as informational as this one is. I think it's more like elitist bull shit. Having both run and moderated sites that were registration based before it's all pretty much automated if you want to do it. |

| #6 SPOD - Charles opens registration occasionally - keep checking back. (He handles stuff by himself, so can't just have ongoing registration.) |

| #5 Nice to read this but I don't go to places that will not allow me to even register to post. LGF is such a site. It might be great site but If I can't register Charles can screw himself. |

| #4 AC, Good to know you were the one to inspire Zombie to write this. I rarely read LGF, but will now make an effort to go there. |

| #3 "Pacifism" is just parasiting of the security others are prepared to provide. |

| #1 This was Zombie's response to a post from my humble self. So now you know, LGF's Commissar of Media-Bashing and Moonbat Eradication, "Shiplord Kirel," is the same person as "Atomic Conspiracy." |
