Reflections From a Murky Pond

To celebrate Ä’ostre – that’d be Easter for you Christians – this year Reflections From A Murky Pond is adding to its Beautiful Faces Project.

More and for some metrics better things come in bright, Spring colors than painted eggs, after all and beautiful women with their hair colored in such decorative manners are certainly one of them.

Oh! And, Ä’ostre being a holy day that celebrates the return of life to the world and fertility, just like the Easter Bunny, the beauties above are most definitely evocative of a more natural egg hunt. 😉

There can be little to no doubt that Liberal logic is Dhimmi logic when it comes to dealing with Muslims. Then, Liberal logic has always been predicated upon a miscegenate offspring of oikophobia and fear. It is the logic of the Heckler’s Veto crossed with that of the White Man’s Burden.

Liberal Logic – Dhimmitude 101

This is what we consistently hear from the Liberals and Progressives within our borders – that Muslims are a peaceful people … but that any action that we take to protect ourselves from their proven acts of violence and terrorism against us in the name of jihad will cause them to radicalize and become violent. These Liberals and Progressives even go so far as to claim that actually believing and accepting the existence of their jihad is a recruitment tool for the jihadis and terrorists.

Here’s what I think is a great idea, though one that came to me too late for most of us do this year.

Hey Muslims, Merry Christmas

The Liberals and Progressives, their minority tenants, and also a disturbing large number of others who normally side with America are making a lot of angry noises about any and all plans to restrict Muslim entry into the US.

In the case of the latter group, it’s largely just anti-Trump hysteria and, hence, isn’t as intrinsically dangerous as the ideology of the Left and the minorities. In all cases though, the people screaming are forgetting to ask themselves one question…

Where’s Radicalized Waldo?

Of the 10s of thousands – potentially 100s of thousands – of Muslim immigrants and refugees that some want to allow within America’s borders with little to no oversight or restrictions how many are “radicals?” Who knows? It’s not like we can tell by looking at them. Yet, the most conservative estimates say that just one third of the world’s Muslims support the most violent forms of jihad – even just under one fifth of the Muslims already in the US admit to doing so – and some 2%-3% will actually actively take part in it.

So, faced with tens or hundreds of thousands of utterly foreign faces whose languages and cultures are both alien to- and often antithetical to the American norm, how can we protect ourselves and our children from both the third that will support jihad and the small percentage that will carry it out inside America?
