Storm Track Appeasement: Boiling the Infidel Frog
**
We all know the cliché of boiling a frog. You don’t throw it into boiling water. You slowly heat it up as it doesn’t realize it’s boiling into he’s dead.Same goes for Britain today and the USA tomorrow.
Foot baths for Muslim students at Michigan universities? Muslim cabbies in the Twin Cities who refuse to carry seeing-eye dogs? The FBI and other government agencies taking sensitivity training from radical Muslim organizations? You think we’ve lost the plot over here? Take a look at British submission to Islamofascist demands and threats, as that once great nation succumbs to creeping dhimmitude.It has reached the point that in mid-April, the British Foreign Office instructed the Royal Navy not to return pirates to jurisdictions sporting sharia law (such as Somalia) for fear that their human rights will be violated. They have even been discouraged from capturing pirates, because the freebooters might ask to be granted asylum in Britain, a request with which the UK might have to comply under international and European Union human rights law.??!!??!!
This for a Navy that almost singlehandedly defeated piracy in the early 19th century, and a nation that retained the death penalty for this scourge of the high seas until the late 20th century.Welcome to Britain today. Another recent outrage involves special handling of a traffic violation. Seems that a Muslim driver was stopped by police while speeding between two homes in the north of England. When he appeared in court, he explained his high speed – over twice the speed limit – was necessary to accommodate his two wives. His explanation was accepted, and he was allowed to keep his license. Sick to your stomach yet? Here’s’ more.
That comes fast – very fast – on the heels of a decision by the British government to grant full spousal benefits to multiple wives. It won’t affect more than an estimated 1,000 individuals. And it mercifully won’t affect the indigenous Christian, Hindu or Jewish population, as traditional bigamy laws apply. Britons may rest easy, as it will only cover multiple wives married in a jurisdiction that practices Sharia law, such as Pakistan or Saudi Arabia.Swimming periods at pools restricted to Muslims only; the establishment of a BBC Arabic language station staffed by Arab broadcasters and managers with track records of being anti-American, anti-Israel and anti-Western; the refusal of female Muslim medical students to wash their arms as that practice might reveal the forbidden flesh between wrist and elbow; an attempt by a national union of university lecturers to call for a boycott of Israeli academics; and, a local Council ban on pig-themed toys, porcelain figures and calendars on workers’ desks because it might offend Muslims.The article goes on to say …
Why is this important to us? Because the ZaNuLabour Party’s tendency to pacifism and appeasement, and its devotion to political correctness, victim ideology, cultural relativism and liberal guilt is shared by our own Democrats.Look for more of it in Britain, and don’t be surprised when it arrives full force here in America. Well – it’s here.
Creeping Sharia has covered John McCain’s home states race to join the ummah before. This time it’s terrorist founded, Saudi-funded, unindicted co-conspirator to a terror funding case, CAIR leading the charge!For a primer, read Sharia Alerts: Arizona which includes headlines such as these:- AZ court rules Muslim food must be served in Arizona jails- Turning Arizona schools into Muslim madrassas- Phoenix airport succumbs to sharia - installs Islamic foot baths for Muslims- Phoenix imam states Muslims want sharia in US- Mesa resident denied raising funds for terror-linked group- New $5M Islamic center to break groundAnd Muslim Leads Opening Prayer of Arizona House of Reps. And now this.
Phoenix Airport Allows Special Clothing For Somali Muslim Janitorial Workers. Who wears the pants at Sky Harbor airport? Not 30 Somali women who fought for the right to wear skirts on the job, and won. The Muslim women balked at a planned policy change by their employer, GCA Services, (that’s GCA’s logo pictured above), that would have forced them to wear pants and a tucked-in shirt as they did their janitorial duties. They’d been previously allowed to wear skirts; pants are too immodest for them.After discussions between GCA managers, airport officials, the Arizona chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Somali Association of Arizona, it was agreed the 30 women could wear black skirts and aprons in addition to a white shirt. Their right to wear the Muslim headscarves known as hijabs was never in question, says Hakim Osman of the Somali Association of Arizona. Osman says that after hearing of the women immigrants’ concern when GCA announced plans for a new uniform late last year, he wrote the company a letter asking for “reasonable accomodations.” The change was supposed to take effect on August 21, but never did, Osman says. Which is good, because the Somalis would have refused to wear pants on religious grounds, he says.Most Muslim women choose skirts or a dress instead of pants, which are considered immodest, says Osman. Update: Dhimmi Watch has posted on this story -
After all, it reinforces a precedent that has already been set in other contexts: when Islamic practices are at variance with American ones, it is the American ones that must give way. What will be the outcome of following that precedent over a period of years? Good question. I bet we’ll go the way of Britain above.
