THE SELF-EVIDENT EXCEPTION

A Six-Year Record of Inevitable Victory

"The drawings have touched a raw nerve in part because Islamic law is interpreted to forbid any depictions of the Prophet Muhammad for fear they could lead to idolatry." That description of Islamic Law appeared in a recent news item from the Associated Press.

Well, wouldn’t you know it? We Judeo-Christians, who are as frightened of idolatry as Islam is, build hundreds of millions of six-pointed stars, Hebraic candelabras, crosses and Christ figures a year, honour them, and in most Christian churches, kneel before them, idolize them, even see the body of Christ replaced by a woman in some isolated incidents of protest, and we don’t do anything more than raise our voices. In the sixties, our kids were burning American flags right and left, and the loudest voices we heard were in Congress.

Now, with the Nation of Allah, Islam has made an invisible idol worth burning embassies for. What else could one expect from Islamist fanatics who demand that western democracies bow down to almighty Islam by abandoning the notion of a free press?

As for America’s response to Denmark’s courage? Disgusting. Marshal Philippe Pétain of Vichy France couldn’t have mouthed his cowardice with more solemnity. If the Nazis had torn down the Eiffel Tower, in the same way Allah destroyed New York’s Twin Towers, even Pétain might have shown more anger than did George W. Bush’s administration.

It wasn’t surprising. Lévy’s recent description of President Bush is fairly accurate: he calls him "the boy emperor."

President Bush calls himself and his friends "the have-mores." I firmly believe that the only friends this spoiled brat will have left by the time his father’s co-ownership of the Clinton Global Empire ends, will be the "have-much-mores" of the Saudi Royal Family whose relative Osama bin Laden has yet to be captured years after Bush declared on an aircraft carrier: "Mission accomplished."

Remember those days? We didn’t know that the former Cassius Clay, once ordained into Islam, actually meant what he said, not only about himself but his entire religious faith.

President Bush’s deportment these days, his Presidential demeanour is that f a remarkable youthful man. The enthusiasm and energy are impressive, even for a recovered alcoholic. I’m a reformed drunk and don’t know where Junior gets his "jump," so to speak.

The Danish Embassy in Beirut has been bombed. Thousands protest in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Turkey, Afghanistan, Palestine, Pakistan, Algeria, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Kuwait and Lebanon… Boy, that’s quite a conglomerate chunk of real estate… and Israel is not even allowed by Islamists a nation the size of a prayer rug! Is there something wrong with this picture? Aren’t we allowed at least one small dose of rage against Islam – this racially supremacist religion? There’s a limit to our Judeo-Christian patience. We’d better start cursing Islam soon or eventually we’ll be slaves of Allah in our own country, or falling out of Twin Towers with no choice left except death by fire or death by fall from a great height. We’ll be left just enough time on the way down to curse a God for whom we refused to stand up and face His Enemy – Allah.

There’s a blessing in disguise when butchers arrive to test our faith in Judeo-Christianity, forcing us to get off the barstool of our hypocrisy and put our lives on the very same line that gave us our free and comfortable lifestyles. It’s called a World War and, for those who haven’t woken up yet, it began on 9/11.

As for Bush, he’s really Marshal Pétain negotiating another load of supremacist’s oil in exchange for another trainload of Rainbow Holocaust victims known as gestating infants. Yes, Bush is washing his hands of Roe v. Wade as deftly as Pontius Pilate, apparatchik of the unparalleled Emperor Octavius Caesar, claimed no responsibility for the death of a man his soldiers nailed to the cross: my idol, Jesus of Nazareth.
