Muslim Cab Wars in Dhimmiapolis -- er, I Mean, Minneapolis
By now you've probably heard about the Muslim cab wars in
Minneapolis. If not, here's a quick synopsis. Seventy-five
percent of the cab drivers servicing the Minneapolis
International Airport are Somali Muslims and most of them
have been refusing service to infidel passengers who engage in
behaviors that aren't up to snuff when it comes to Islam.
For instance, let's say you're an average godless and
contemptible infidel who just bought a bottle of Cabernet
Sauvignon at the duty-free shop and then you try to hail a cab
with that devil's concoction in your possession. You're
committing a grave sin against the Religion of Peace and can't
possibly expect an observant Muslim to be complicit in your
sin, not to mention defile his taxi by transporting you and your
iniquitous liquid.
So what are you supposed to do? Well, apparently you're
supposed to show your multicultural tolerance by acquiescing
to the primitive customs of the Islamic cabbies and finding
some other means of transportation that won’t involve giving
offense to a person of another culture or faith.
As another example, let's say you're an unsighted person who
gets around with the help of a seeing-eye dog. Yep, that's right.
Don't expect to defile the purity of a Muslim taxi with your
filthy beast. Refusing service in that kind of situation is a
direct violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),
but so far Islam trumps such infidel legislation.
Amazing, isn’t it? In a world of political correctness gone
mad, who could possibly mistreat the blind and get away with
it? Muslims, that's who! But imagine that the cab drivers,
rather than being Muslims, were instead bible-thumping
Christian fundamentalists who were refusing fares for the exact
same reasons. How long do you think they would get away with
it before the ACLU would be all over them like white on rice and
before Frank Rich, New York times columnist extraordinaire,
would write his umpteenth column about the Christian
fundamentalist takeover of America? Half a day, maybe?
But for whatever unfathomable reason, the entire Western
world, in its wretched multicultural misguidedness, seems to
believe that it has to bend over backwards to accommodate the
primitive beliefs of Islamic religious fanatics. The question of
our time, of the age, is, why? Why would self-proclaimed
secular Western societies do this? Why, why, why?
It all stems from the cult of multiculturalism which basically
says that any culture is as good as any other, so therefore all
cultures must be tolerated. Anything less would be intolerant
and intolerance is evil. And since Islamic culture is just
another culture that is as good as any other, it must be
tolerated in the name of multicultural tolerance, even if it is
itself supremely intolerant and could eventually supplant the
preexisting culture of tolerance, which would, in effect, spell
the end of all that cherished toleration.
It could be the ultimate paradox. The West commits cultural
suicide in the name of tolerance and in so doing, leaves the
world in the hands of its most intolerant people. Brilliant!
Volumes are currently being filled with examples from all
over the Western world of its groveling obsequiousness before
Islam, all in the name of extreme multiculturalism. It’s
everything from removing pork from hospital menus for fear of
offending Muslims to banning the English national flag from
English prisons because it displays the cross of St. George,
which was used by the Crusaders and is therefore deemed
offensive by imprisoned Muslim criminals.
If you stop and think about it, given that Islamic law’s top ten
list of things to avoid includes not only alcohol and dogs, but
infidels themselves, it would seem that for observant Muslims
there can only be one final and ultimate solution if there is ever
to be a world that is pure. It’s enough to send a shiver down an
infidel’s back.
In the meantime, there may be a tiny smidgen of hope in
Minnesota, at least for the moment, where it is still
theoretically possible that Minneapolis won't become
Dhimmiapolis. The Metropolitan Airport Commission, which
oversees policy at Minneapolis International Airport, is going
to conduct hearings to decide on a proposal that states that all
cab drivers at the airport will be expected to carry all
passengers with alcohol and seeing-eye dogs. If there is any
sanity left in the Western world, that proposal will pass.
That would no doubt upset the Somali cab drivers, but here’s
something for them to think about. If Islam was such a great
thing, they could just get jobs at Mogadishu International
instead of having to slink off to some infidel country to find a
decent life. But Mogadishu International is almost never open
for business because Somalia is a failed, war-torn Islamic
state, and like so many other basket-case Islamic states, the
only thing to be found there is misery, violence and hard times.
So Somalis, as well as other denizens of other failed Islamic
states, fan out all over the globe seeking economic opportunity
in non-Islamic countries, and in particular, Western countries
since they tend to be the most prosperous. The amazing thing
is that so many of them never seem to be able to put two and
two together to figure out that if going to a non-Islamic country
is the only way to get a decent life, then maybe Islam’s not all
it’s cracked up to be.
So instead of adapting to their new environments, they
continue right on with their primitive and irrational customs
while their Western hosts, who would never tolerate such
nonsense from their own Christian populations, mouth vapid
platitudes about tolerance and the splendor of diversity.
Maybe Minneapolis will draw the line at the mistreatment of
blind people by Islamic primitives. On the other hand,
Minneapolis was the chosen site of the flying imams’ mini-
airport jihad, not to mention having just sent the first Muslim
to the U.S. Congress. I guess you could say all bets are off and
there could still be a Dhimmiapolis in the future.
