This is what really frosts me about Muslims in America

I haven’t blogged recently about the “tiny percentage” of radical Islamists, or much about Muslims lately. (Or blogged much, period. That whole pesky “real life” thing… but I digress.) But this is what really frosts me about Muslims in America:  Muslims, at an exclusive, expensive, American university that historically – until fairly recently – championed free speech and liberal, not leftist but free-thinking, values, are aggrieved that Kirk Westergaard visited the Yale campus.

Members of the Yale Muslim Students Association have said they are “deeply hurt and offended” that Westergaard will speak on the New Haven, Conn., campus, though they do not plan to protest. The group said Yale fails to recognize the “religious and racial” sensitivities surrounding the matter.

Westergaard is one of the sadly infamous Mohammed cartoonists. Those cartoons didn’t make much of a splash until some Muslims added three additional, more inflammatory cartoons and took the lot on a grievance tour, stirring up riots that actually killed people and did a lot of property damage. These Yalie Muslims and their unindicted terror supporter buddies at CAIR use the free speech they enjoy in America to fight against free speech by using langauge like bigoted, offensive, hateful, and equating it with denial of the Holocaust.  Somehow these Ivy-league idiots equate an indefensibly factually wrong view that the Holocaust did not occur with negative opinions about Islam.  That’s beyond stupid, especially for educated people – it cannot be anything but willfully deceptive.

What really frosts me is they will bestir themselves to whine about Westergaard but don’t mention the three Muslims who propagated and probably created the worst of the cartoons.  They don’t heartily condemn their own against honor killings in America.  The demands for special treatment continue to mount – and they generally win.  Footbaths paid for by the public, private companies (meatpackers, especially) have acceded to their demands, and in general there is a feeling that we need to keep quiet and not offend.  Oh, the joys of multiculturalism.

Meanwhile, the kind of crap Christians tolerate without taking to the streets is simply amazing by comparison.  The latest is pushback against having Christian-themed ornaments on our national Christmas tree.  I don’t care about Christmas trees, but that’s just bizarre.  There is a case to be made against having the tree at all.  Religious icon, federal tax dollars, etc.  But having decided to erect and decorate the CHRISTmas tree, how can a rational person then suggest that CHRISTian themed ornaments are verboten?  The daily assaults on our values and practices by the media and government are tiresome, but with the exception of a handful of largely ineffective boycotts and the histrionics of the AFA, we just keep rolling along.
