The Study of Revenge gets Googled
Well, it's finally come to this.
D.T. over at The Study of Revenge has been slapped with a content warning by the Google content nazis. I hope this drives his traffic up a thousandfold. Do me a favor and stop by and give him a pat on the back and some encouragement. His art deserves to be seen by all.
DT posted this in reply to this recent post about the Silent Majority. I repeat it here to honor his work.
Whether we attribute it to genuine muddle-headedness or to a genuine desire to protect the population, I think it’s safe to say that our leaders are lying to us vis-à-vis Islam and Muslims at large. We’ve been fed many nostrums since September 11; the foremost being that a tiny minority of extremists have hijacked Islam’s good image and that Islam is a religion of peace. Neither of these assertions hold up to any sort of empirical, whether contemporaneous or historical, analysis. I’m beginning to wonder if the “moderate” Muslim isn’t a myth as well. To examine so-called “moderate” Muslim advocacy groups here in the U.S. alone is to reveal indictments against their employees for terrorism, the receipt of funding from known terrorists charities, organizations like CAIR, for example, were founded by (Hamas) terrorists; not too mention all of the blithe remarks made by these, our friends, that they wouldn’t mind seeing the U.S. become an Islamic country, and so forth. This is the face of moderate Muslim America. Free Muslims Against Terror held a rally in D.C. (last year?) and 50 people showed up. Contrast that with the Muslim hordes who take to the streets threatening violence every time someone makes up a story about a Koran getting pooped on—so much for that tiny minority. Whereas you and I may not strap Kevlar vests on and fire mortars on the streets of Fallujah, we nonetheless support our country’s fight; likewise, simply because more Muslims aren’t strapping bombs to their chests doesn’t mean that they don’t sympathize with the likes of Bin Laden and the gang. Silence is oftentimes complicity and the onus isn't on us to prove otherwiseSilence is complicity. So is squelching free speech. As bloggers we risk running the same fate as DT - where will it stop?
