Every single fucking day. More Steynian wisdom about demographic trends. I'd love it if one of my liberal readers were able to refute his argument.

Please, please.

From a man who knows:

Stop asking what you have done wrong. Stop it! They're slaughtering you like sheep and you still look within. You criticize your history, your institutions, your churches. Why can't you realize that it has nothing to do with what you have done?

Nothing against the moderate Muslims—either one of you.

But you do have your work cut out for you, no?

It's an extreme measure, but it sounds like the situation for Christians in Indonesia is perilous right now, and boycotting the country may save some lives.

Stop fucking apologizing!

Anne Applebaum was more polite about it.

As was Glenn.

But I'll leave manners to those who possess them.

. . . takes on the terror of female sexuality that pervades many strains of Islam:

So frequently do we joke about men's preoccupation with sex and female body parts in the West, that we have failed to notice that the Muslim world is literally consumed by female sexuality and with their fear of it. It is ironic that both Muslim men and women are under the mistaken impression that Western society is oversexualized compared to them, when in fact, it is practically impossible to be more obsessed with sexual matters than they are in Muslim communities.

Consider for a moment a culture that would prefer to let young girls die in a burning building than to risk having them run out of said building not clothed in properly modest dress; and tell me that such a society is less preoccupied with matters of sex than we are in the West.

Enormous effort goes into veiling women, dressing women modestly, silencing women, covering women's bodies, punishing women, controlling women, reviling women, humiliating women, beating women, subjugating women, avoiding the dishonor of women, keeping women uneducated, policing women, infantilizing women--in short, dehumanizing women -- all under the guise of "protecting" and "honoring" them as they relegate them to animal-like status.

The women in this misogynistic Islam are brainwashed from birth into thinking that this cultural preoccupation somehow is necessary and that it "liberates" them in some bizarre manner.

Amazingly, this medieval culture has grasped the fundamentals of both Orwellian and postmodern rhetorical rationalizations, that are so prominent in certain intellectual quarters within our own culture! I have heard the canned rationalizations coming from their lips of muslim women myself; and they all claim that it frees them from having to be "sexual objects."

On the contrary, in Islamic society that is apparently the only role open to women. That, and breeders for the jihad.

Please read the whole thing; it's an amazing post.

Hat tip: Glenn.

Let's not give these people our business. What they are doing sets a dangerous precedent. Hackbarth warns us not to take our frustration out on Borders employees; Samizdata explains that Borders is already in dire financial straits and can't afford to flip intellectuals the bird.

I wonder if Borders carries Mein Kampf. It's also offensive, right? Ah—but Jews don't behead people who disagree with them. We must defer to those who engage in that type of behavior.

Insty suggests we "throw down the gauntlet," and links Bidinotto's approach. I definitely think writing letters is good, but mostly I'll be voting with my checkbook.

From now on I'll be shopping at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and the independents, like these guys. Actually, since I live near Pasadena, I'll be buying at Vroman's for the most part—but not everyone is that lucky.

UPDATE: How pathetic is this? I guess one doesn't need steak when there's sizzle. Via Insty.

In a letter addressed to the "Christian Peacemaker Losers," he declares:

If an American or British soldier had been killed wasting his time on you, I would have finished you off myself. It's too bad the Islamonutters snuffed that one dude, but, you know, shit happens, especially if you go around sticking your head in septic tanks.

Read the whole thing. It's a freakin' work of art. Right up there with his infamous statement that gays who obsess over marriage while ignoring Islamofascism might have to "give head, and not in a good way" under an upcoming Caliphate.

Douglas Murray, in The Times:

Holland — with its disproportionately high Muslim population — is the canary in the mine. Its once open society is closing, and Europe is closing slowly behind it. It looks, from Holland, like the twilight of liberalism — not the “liberalism” that is actually libertarianism, but the liberalism that is freedom. Not least freedom of expression.

All across Europe, debate on Islam is being stopped. ItalyÂ’s greatest living writer, Oriana Fallaci, soon comes up for trial in her home country, and in Britain the government seems intent on pushing through laws that would make truths about Islam and the conduct of its followers impossible to voice.

Those of us who write and talk on Islam thus get caught between those on our own side who are increasingly keen to prosecute and increasing numbers of militants threatening murder. In this situation, not only is free speech being shut down, but our nationÂ’s security is being compromised.

Since the assassinations of Fortuyn and, in 2004, the film maker Theo van Gogh, numerous public figures in Holland have received death threats and routine intimidation. The heroic Somali-born Dutch MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali and her equally outspoken colleague Geert Wilders live under constant police protection, often forced to sleep on army bases. Even university professors are under protection.

Europe is shuffling into darkness. It is proving incapable of standing up to its enemies, and in an effort to accommodate the peripheral rights of a minority is failing to protect the most basic rights of its own people.

The governments of Europe have been tricked into believing that criticism of a belief is the same thing as criticism of a race.

My emphasis.

I've been hoping that the apparant solar eclipse in Europe is something else—perhaps an optical illusion of some sort. But it's hard to keep that hope alive when people have to engage in cloak-and-dagger behavior to talk openly about Islam at all.

Off in the distance, I hear Anne Frank screaming at me from her grave.

Via Reynolds, who adds:

People talk about Eurabia, but what's really happened is that Europe has become Weimarized, with governments and institutions too morally and intellectually weak to stand up for the principles they pretend to embody. And we know what that led to last time . . . .

Hitchens:

Update, Feb. 22: Thank you all who've written. Please be outside the Embassy of Denmark, 3200 Whitehaven Street (off Massachusetts Avenue) between noon and 1 p.m. this Friday, Feb. 24. Quietness and calm are the necessities, plus cheerful conversation. Danish flags are good, or posters reading "Stand By Denmark" and any variation on this theme (such as "Buy Carlsberg/ Havarti/ Lego") The response has been astonishing and I know that the Danes are appreciative. But they are an embassy and thus do not of course endorse or comment on any demonstration. Let us hope, however, to set a precedent for other cities and countries. Please pass on this message to friends and colleagues.

It would be lovely to see this in other cities as well. Perhaps it should be in every city, on every Friday at noon. But if you're in the D.C. area, please consider going, for it is certainly happening there.

Via Foster.

I agree with Bill. [Charlton Heston voice] Darn the luck!

Islam is not the enemy; Islamo-fascism is. There are plenty of perfectly decent, sane Muslims. Like these guys, for instance.

My argument with Islam has always been that too many mainstream Muslims have failed to condemn what the jihadis are doing, but that is also changing.

Writing in Slate:

There remains the question of Denmark: a small democracy, which resisted Hitler bravely and protected its Jews as well as itself. Denmark is a fellow member of NATO and a country that sends its soldiers to help in the defense and reconstruction of Iraq and Afghanistan. And what is its reward from Washington? Not a word of solidarity, but instead some creepy words of apology to those who have attacked its freedom, its trade, its citizens, and its embassies. For shame. Surely here is a case that can be taken up by those who worry that America is too casual and arrogant with its allies. I feel terrible that I have taken so long to get around to this, but I wonder if anyone might feel like joining me in gathering outside the Danish Embassy in Washington, in a quiet and composed manner, to affirm some elementary friendship. Those who like the idea might contact me at christopher.hitchens@yahoo.com, and those who live in other cities with Danish consulates might wish to initiate a stand for decency on their own account.

Good idea.

Via James Joyner, who quotes extensively and provides worthwhile commentary, concluding:

The impulse to not offend Muslims is decent and understandable. In the context of Muslims murdering innocents over free speech, however, it is also dangerous.

The artwork profiled here (1) doesn't involved Mohammed at all, and (2) clearly targets those who murder in the name of Islam, rather than the majority, who practice it peacefully.

Also, it's hilarious.
