Outrage Over Danish Cartoons is Not "Hypocritical"

This controversy has nothing to do with fairness or sensitivity. It has to do with the insistence of Islamists on the principle of the primacy of Islam, and a second-class status (dhimmi) for others. We do not understand this because the West cannot conceive that anyone could openly espouse inequality as a principle.

THIS IS EXCELLENT

1. Per said:

Only one remark: The status of dhimmi (or raya under Ottoman rule), is reserved for the "people of the book", i.e. Jews and Christians and sometimes also Zoroastrians. For the rest, however, Sura 9:5 applies, i.e. convert to islam or get killed:

Sura 9:5: Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
