“Of course, anyone with ANY interest in respecting the culture of the country that took them in when they needed a new home would have asked himself, “What can I do to balance the culture of my fellow Americans with the religious preferences of my community?” Dr. Achmed could have suggested, for example, that people with religious objections be transferred to a classroom WITHOUT a class pet…I can’t imagine moving to a Muslim country and declaring, “You know, all these Islamic signs and the calls to prayer and everything else make me really uncomfortable as a Christian, so I’m going to need you all to get rid of it.” If I did a thing like that, I’d imagine the response (if I’m lucky) would be, “Well then, why did you come here?” But this is a question Americans are apparently not allowed to ask at the risk of being labeled Islamophobic.”
It seems clear that the majority of Muslims in the recent wave are not interested in assimilation, and Islam is a religion of conquest. I almost made that Maine story an ethics quiz, but decided that the ethics were clear: the Assistant Superintendent of Schools was technically correct. It is also the slipperiest of slopes. First they came for Snoopy, and I said nothing…
The Mad Left is “feeling their oats” (as my Dad used to say), so they can be counted on to go all in on the “Christmas is offensive to non-Christians!” theme. As a side benefit, this will pull American Jews to their side even as the Axis sides with the violent people who want to wipe Israel off the map.
As we entered holiday season, the metaphorical drumbeats of the religious wars started. In the suburb of Bellevue, Washington (arguably the most incurably woke state, though its neck-and-neck) a Christian couple gave out religious notes along with the candy to Trick-or-Treaters. “The Bible tells us that God loves YOU! God has a plan for your life!” the printouts read, according to the Daily Mail. “We all have sinned. That means all of us have disobeyed God. Sin breaks God’s heart and separates us from being in a relationship with Him. God sent His Son, Jesus, to rescue us. Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin and was raised to life so that we can be back in relationship with God and spend forever with Him.”
I doubt any Islamic kids observe Halloween, but a father named Sean Smith managed to do a bang-up impression of a furious offended Muslim. He was videoed as he screamed at the couple from his car. Once again, I concur that the Christian couple were wrong to use Halloween as an excuse to proselytize, but The Great Stupid morphed into The Great Crazy on November 3. And here comes Santa Claus!
We can see what the Islamic wave has wreaked in the UK. London’s traditional Southbank Christmas market was re-chris…oops! re-named the “Winter Come Together” Market. A vendor told the news media that stallholders were instructed not to use the word “Christmas” or say “Merry Christmas” to observe “religious sensitivity.” Translation: Don’t piss off Muslims. They’ll set your stand on fire. (And we’d better celebrate Ramadan…) The Bowes Museum in County Durham, in an abundance of caution, rebranded its annual Christmas market event as a “Winter Market” London’s retail districts, and shopping streets are defaulting to phrases like “holiday magic” and “winter wonder.” London was traditionally Christmas Central, but Islam is in control now.
And Christians like that couple in Washington are not going to take it lying down. As for me, no more weenie “Happy Holidays!” pablum. It will be “Merry Christmas!” jingling all the way.
