A Dhimmi Proposal
The debate is on, whether “Is London’s Future Islamic” is inspired satire or cloying relativistic multi-cultural surrenderism. I’m going with the former satirizing the latter, with a light touch to keep you guessing, because I don’t believe even most Muslims in London would believe this, and most relativistic multi-cultural surrenderists don’t believe Islam actually wants to take anything over. Conceivably it might be done by a particularly clever and nihilistic multiculturalist just to get a rise out of the right. The comparison to Jonathan Swift has already been made. Here’s Iowahawk’s satire of the satire(?). I think we’ll need to get Spark on the job.
UPDATE: Iowahawk makes the excellent point that Hodges is a rather confused individual who thinks America deserved 9/11 because it deposed Saddam Hussein and raised no objection to Israel conducting counter-terrorism operations in Lebanon. However, I still get the sense this is a needling satire designed to do exactly what it did, which is provoke a reaction. As someone who has spent time in Muslim countries, Hodges knows as well as anyone that Islam has not aided the Muslims by and large in the creation and more importantly maintenance of parks, tending to the environment, not being racists, etc. Never mind their economies and politics. That’s why so many of them moved to London.
Unresolved whether what we have here is an uberFisk, or a Superfisk. The former being someone who has outfisked Fisk in westloathing to the point of self-parody, the latter being a bizarre mutation that wields befiskment like a weapon.

If they weren’t already so far gone, I might buy the satire angle. I think its for real.

I beg to differ. If anyone thinks Hodges was anything but earnest in writing the article, read this…

Touche, PA and Iowahawk. Hodge is truly a dhimmi, isn’t he?

Haha,
How many wingnuts who think Europe is turning Islamic have ever left their little American midwest bunker towns?

More than you think, Alf. I, for instance, have been fourteen different countries, without counting several Caribbean islands, and in all but ten of the United States. How about yourself?

Shouldn’t you be fantasizing about that big, hunky Fred Thompson instead of me, El Cid?
He looks like he knows how to stuff a codpiece good enough to please you Brokeback Warriors.

“big, hunky Fred Thompson”
Speaking of fantasizing, dwarf. Hell I don’t think his wife, ever says something like that.
You are a waste of semen… the best parts of you, were left on dirty sheets in your procreators, bedroom.

A better question is how many Europeans are fleeing each year? I hear the number is considerable. Embarrassingly large in fact.
The smart ones are clearing out while they can still cash out and not have their fortunes valued in chocolate covered cotton balls.

“I hear,” PA?
Are we lowering this discussion to the level of a Republican presidential debate?
Your mythology has been seen through…only facts will keep taxpayer money flowing to your phony “war of civilizations” once Bush is back cuttin’ shrubs.
Better scrape around and see if you can find a few…real soon.

Buh?!? Did you even read this sentence before you posted it?
Oh, guh! Look who I’m asking.

Of course, it was the ant who lowered the comments–via his usual non sequitur–as always.
Dhimmitude for all!

How do I get a Green Card? Can I bring some friends?

alphie earned the nickname I’ve seen on other sites of ‘jihadi boy’ for good and sufficient reason - championing any spin to the disdvantage of resisting sharia. Although BDS should be resisted and recorded, a sad little dink like alphie’s merely a cipher and better ignored.

theo, just walk across the southern border into Texas. Call your friends your family. SInce you already speak a form of English, you’ll do just fine.
OMT — spot on about The Alphtard™. He lives to stop anti-jihad threads. He is, after all, “jihad boy”.

al-Fie ibn Jihadboi?
June 10th, 2007 at 2:56 pm
Alfie is a mufsidun, he could never graduate to jihadi. It actually takes faith and the only faith that he has is that the jihadis won’t kill him first.
