The Religion of the Easily Offended
and the people who accommodate it
Politicians try to win elections without hurting anyone's feelings. One way to do that, in the 21st century, is to claim that "Islam is a religion of peace." Nonsense! Stereotypes don't just appear out of nowhere. Muslims have actively and deliberately developed a reputation as irrational, homicidal fanatics, whose religious beliefs are the inverse of those we consider traditional. They insist on living in countries where they are not welcome, to take advantage of freedom and capitalism while simultaneously working to destroy those countries.
And instead of quietly assimilating in "western" culture, the Muslims squawk constantly about how offensive it is, and demand that we change to suit them. It makes no sense.
It's not uncommon to hear Muslims claim, "We're just like everybody else,"* but if you scan through the material on this page, you'll see that the truth is quite the reverse.
Muslims seem to be perpetually horrified and offended by beauty pageants, pork products, cartoon depictions of Mohammed, the letter X, the number 39, the story of The Three Little Pigs, the Apple Store on 5th Avenue, dogs, the bottoms of your shoes, the Pope, Mickey Mouse, Barbie dolls, yodeling, snowmen, the ice cream at Burger King, neckties, music on radio stations, and many other things. Most recently, Muslims have been offended by FBI "training materials that portray Islam as a religion of violence or with a tendency towards violence."* The cause of their hypersensitivity appears to be an even mix of irrational fanaticism and baseless phobia.
