Official Dhimmi of the Year Award Goes To....Leonard Pitts Jr.

I ran across this article that was written by Leonard Pitts Jr. by pure accident and believe me, I'm still shaking my head in disbelief. After all that this country and this world has been through in regards to islamic terror, islamic expansionism, islamofascism and the spread of Sharia Law, it's hard to believe that a fool this complete, a dhimmi this subservient actually still exists in America. Well Mr. Leonard Pitts Jr., you are now "Dhimmi of the Year" here at Holger Awakens for penning one of the most naive pieces of "journalism" ever.

Now, I have no idea about Pitts' background - I don't know if he is a muslim or not and I'm not gonna waste my time finding out...but the fact that this article was actually picked up by newspaper like the Detroit Free Press and others is beyond me.

Let's look at what Leonard Pitts has to say about the vote of the Oklahoma people to restrict Sharia Law from governing them:

We gather here today to mourn the loss of America's mind.

It was last seen last month in Oklahoma. There, voters gave emphatic approval to a measure outlawing the use of Sharia law -- a strict and often brutal interpretation of Islamic religious strictures -- in state courts. Sharia is not known to be a problem in Oklahoma, or, for that matter, anywhere else in the U.S., something even the bill's backers concede. But, said the initiative's sponsor, then-Republican state Rep. Rex Duncan, why wait?

Of course, by that reasoning, one can also justify laws regulating time travel, flying cars and pink unicorns pooping in parks. Should we assume Oklahoma legislators are hard at work on laws to restrict these and other nonexistent troubles?

Probably not. After all, unlike other purely fictional problems, the Sharia issue allows a demagogue to exploit a tender spot in the American psyche: our growing fear of all things Muslim.

So Leonard Pitts thinks America has lost its mind, huh? Perhaps Leonard Pitts thinks the hundreds of Sharia courts in Britain is just a coincidence, huh? Perhaps Leonard Pitts hasn't been reading about the case of the Pakistani woman sentenced to hanging due to her blaspheming of Islam?

You know, clowns like Leonard Pitts Jr., will more than likely be the first Americans who will be beheaded under Sharia - the islamists usually feed upon the weakest of the herd and Leonard Pitts Jr. certainly fills the bill for the weakest of the spineless. This fool can't even be accused of burying his head in the sand - no one is that stupid in America. No, this peon, this supposed intellect is just one of those many that pile out of a little car at the circus to tell us all that we are overreacting to islam. Oh yeah, Mr. ExpertOnIslam, Leonard Pitts Jr. thinks it is "crazy" to think that these muslims really want to hurt us.

Let's look at one more piece of nonsense spewed by Pitts:

Here is the result. We move through a time that demands serious consideration of serious issues -- air security, energy dependence, the radicalization of U.S. citizens -- but we fret instead about saving Oklahoma from Sharia law, solving a problem we do not and will not have. Thoughtful people ought to be alarmed. The goal of terrorism, you see, is not to make a nation bleed, but to make it fear.

There you have it - you can take it to the bank....Leonard Pitts Jr. has assured us all that Sharia Law is simply not a problem we will have. Good old Lenny has the inside info, I guess. And as for his description of the goal of terrorism....this reveals just what kind of an idiot the man is - the goal of terrorism is not to make a nation fear, fool, the goal of terrorism is to help achieve the real goal which is conquest and domination.

Go ahead, Mr. Pitts, keep denying the truth, keep writing your lies, keep sounding the alarm, but for those of us who have no intentions of submitting to Islam and the laws of Sharia, stay the fuck out of our way.

Vote against Sharia law reveals a mindless fear

We gather here today to mourn the loss of America's mind.

It was last seen last month in Oklahoma. There, voters gave emphatic approval to a measure outlawing the use of Sharia law -- a strict and often brutal interpretation of Islamic religious strictures -- in state courts. Sharia is not known to be a problem in Oklahoma, or, for that matter, anywhere else in the U.S., something even the bill's backers concede. But, said the initiative's sponsor, then-Republican state Rep. Rex Duncan, why wait?

Of course, by that reasoning, one can also justify laws regulating time travel, flying cars and pink unicorns pooping in parks. Should we assume Oklahoma legislators are hard at work on laws to restrict these and other nonexistent troubles?

Probably not. After all, unlike other purely fictional problems, the Sharia issue allows a demagogue to exploit a tender spot in the American psyche: our growing fear of all things Muslim.

On Monday, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction banning implementation of the law. The ruling came in response to a suit filed by Muneer Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Oklahoma, alleging that the law would violate his First Amendment rights.

Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange appeared to find that argument compelling. "Plaintiff," she wrote, "has sufficiently set forth a personal stake in this action by alleging that he lives in Oklahoma, is a Muslim, that the amendment conveys an official government message of disapproval and hostility toward his religious beliefs that sends a clear message he is an outsider, not a full member of the political community, thereby chilling his access to the government and forcing him to curtail his political and religious activities."

Even if Awad ultimately prevails, it would not address the underlying problem. Meaning, the loss of America's mind. That loss has occurred with distressing frequency over the years, often coming in times of hysteria and fear, often involving the demonization of some American subset for the actions of those with whom they share some cultural, racial or religious trait.

For instance, Americans of German descent were bullied during the First World War in a nation that found it necessary to rename sauerkraut Liberty Cabbage. Americans of Japanese descent were imprisoned during the Second World War, many of them losing their homes and livelihoods.

You'd think that sordid history would make us wary of entreatments to blindly castigate fellow Americans. You would be mistaken.

To his credit, President George W. Bush explicitly rejected the reflexive fear of all things Muslim in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. But to its discredit, his party nonetheless chose to embrace that fear, to exploit and campaign on it throughout the decade.

Here is the result. We move through a time that demands serious consideration of serious issues -- air security, energy dependence, the radicalization of U.S. citizens -- but we fret instead about saving Oklahoma from Sharia law, solving a problem we do not and will not have. Thoughtful people ought to be alarmed. The goal of terrorism, you see, is not to make a nation bleed, but to make it fear.

Oklahoma's nonsensical law suggests our enemies have been successful in that. One recalls how Bush stood beneath a banner that crowed of a victory against terrorism. But to the degree Oklahoma accurately reflects our national mind-set, it is the terrorists who deserve to hoist that banner. America is scared stupid.

Mission accomplished.
