Excerpt from this day’s program:
…Well, Bat Ye’or has written the counter-narrative to the secular Zionist ignoramuses who thought life was better for Jews under Islam. To this day Ashkenazi Arabists write that only in the 20th century did European anti-Semitism penetrate Araby. Technically true, but anti-Jewism had other forms before the emergence of that vile crackpot theory. Bat Ye’or relies on primary sources to show that Jews suffered constantly under Islam, and worse: she invented the tern dhimmitude to describe the state of mind of infidels oppressed by Muslims as a normal part of their lives. And worst of all, she saw Europeans turning into dhimmi, the so-called protected infidels in Islam, and that is what came to mind in David Cameron’s words. His craven untruth of pandering to Muslims about what a great religion they have and that all this murder and mayhem done in the name of Islam is not the real, nice Islam. Just like Obama after Ft. Hood. Like Orwell’s Big Brother commanding the people of England not to believe what they see. A life of denial. “War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength” and I would add, “Islam is a great religion.” |
