There, I said it. I'm tired of "tolerance". Item 1: A while ago ("a while ago" translates into "I'm too lazy to go look for the exact date"), Isaac Hayes, the singer/songwriter and voice for Chef on South Park, announced he was quitting the show in disgust over South Park's treament of Scientology, a pseudo-religion that Hayes is involved with. Well, now suddenly people are saying ("People are saying" is a lot like "a while ago" - you can look it up) that Hayes didn't actually quit South Park, and he couldn't have, because he suffered a stroke on January 17 (that date is actually valid, you don't have to look it up). Is this striking you as a little bizarre? No matter which side you believe, whether Hayes quit the show or didn't, something really smells funky here. If he quit the show, where did this stroke story come from? And why didn't we hear about it earlier? If he didn't quit the show, who told the South Park folks that he did? That funky smell is, I think, Scientology - again. In the modern, love everyone, we're-all-equal world we live in, Scientology is supposed to be treated like any other "belief system" - it's all good, different strokes, live and let live, and so on. Well, I'm sick of that. Scientology, as evidenced by this latest episode, is a freakish collection of wierdos and twits, and the "belief system" itself is a bunch of witless, moronic shit that nobody in their right mind would be stupid enough to believe. Scientology is crap, folks - more idiotic than any religion, pseudo-religion or "belief system" I've ever seen, and I've seen a few. Which brings me to point 2... or actually it doesn't, but I'm not great at segues. Item 2: Islam. You really should learn as much about Islam as you can, because I guarantee, you'll be shocked by what you learn. I used to be one of these "this religion is as valid as that religion" people, but Islam changed my mind about that. You probably think that Islam, like almost all religions, carries essentially a positive, peaceful message. It's not true. Islam is a religion of war, conques t, slavery and destruction of all non-Islamic faiths. Our idiot press has done its best to pound the lie of "tolerant Islam" into your head, begging that we be "tolerant" in return of this religion. Well, I've had it with that. What you've been taught about Islam by the press and by liberal professors is exactly as reliable as anything else you've ever heard from them, and that is to say, not reliable at all. Here's something you probably have never heard of: "Dhimmitude". This is a charming belief, hard-coded into the Koran, that teaches that Jews and Christians are supposed to be treated as "protected people". That sounds wonderful, doesn't it? The Koran teaches that as a Jew or a Christian, you're "protected" under the laws of Islam. The essence of dhimmitude is this: A conquered population of non-Muslims is to be treated as second-class citizens. They have a legal status distinctly below non-Muslims. They are forced to pay a tax (the jizya), and are expected to submit to Islamic law. The status of their places of worship is technically protected, except that they are prohibited from building new churches, and prostelyzation of Muslims is punishable by death. Also, during worship services, they aren't allowed to be "loud". Public practice of non-Muslim religions is forbidden. If a dhimmi kills a Muslim, he is executed, as he has lost his "rights" as a dhimmi. If a Muslim kills a non-Muslim, though, this does not apply. The rights of Jews and Christians under Islamic law is, for all intents and purposes, roughly equivalent to the rights of Jews under the Nazis in the early years, before the Holocaust began in earnest. As a result, historically, Christians and other religions under Islamic rule practically disappeared as adherents found the humiliation and degradation of dhimmitude too much to bear and abandoned it for Islam. And while you're thinking about the humiliating and debasing status as a dhimmi, consider yourself lucky; those who don't qualify as dhimmis can be executed at will, and such a fate is encouraged by Islam. Visit here to learn more about dhimmitude. In the west, we seem to fear being labelled as "Crusaders". I think this fear is misplaced. The biggest problem with the Crusades is that they weren't nearly big enough, and their objective was far too conservative. Their objective should have been, in fact, the eradication of this putrescent religion once and for all from the earth. If you're a Muslim and you want to write to me and complain about my treatment of your faith, I ask that you first either learn more about it, or be prepared to address issues like women's rights, slavery, dhimmitude and the violent nature of the religion and of Muhammad himself. If you just write that I'm an intolerant asshole, I'm not going to respond, because you're stating the obvious.
