Knowing Your Place

From Little Green Footballs, a very interesting post on European dhimmitude at the Arafat funeral, where though many tried no European was allowed to attend. A snippet:

Defined by Jihadwatch.org's Dhimmi Watch, Dhimmitude is defined as

the status that Islamic law, the Sharia, mandates for non-Muslims, primarily Jews and Christians. Dhimmis, "protected people," are free to practice their religion in a Sharia regime, but are made subject to a number of humiliating regulations designed to enforce the Qur'an's command that they "feel themselves subdued" (Sura 9:29). This denial of equality of rights and dignity remains part of the Sharia, and, as such, are part of the law that global jihadists are laboring to impose everywhere, ultimately on the entire human race.

The dhimmi attitude of chastened subservience has entered into Western academic study of Islam, and from there into journalism, textbooks, and the popular discourse. One must not point out the depredations of jihad and dhimmitude; to do so would offend the multiculturalist ethos that prevails everywhere today.

Little hints everywhere of what would happen if the Islamofascists get their way, and thank God for LGF for taking the time to find and point them out.

UPDATE: I like this comment, from Scott in East Bay: "The only thing good about what's happening to Europe is that the US will, once again, soon be getting the cream of the crop of their populations. Their best and brightest have already begun coming here for the economic benefits. Pretty soon, when it starts to get really ugly, we will see a very sharp increase in European immigration to the US. Welcome them, for they come to us for refuge."
