And this type of client is good, as long as his good citizenship is not heavily publicized and is treated just like if you or I were to do it. That way, the general populace does not get to project his good citizenship on the rest of the ummah.<br /><br />Reason I brought this up is that this makes Debbie the first somewhat well known figure who's raised the point that one can't distinguish b/w hinged Muslims and unhinged ones. Hinged being to the law, not to the Qur'an.Nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15936731686633423188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29566846.post-6433974559164337222009-11-12T12:38:45.917-08:002009-11-12T12:38:45.917-08:00Nobody, I finally got around to reading Schlussel&...Nobody, I finally got around to reading Schlussel's article as well as the one she links to from her archive about that "only Muslim she would defend".<br /><br />That type of Muslim whom she defending represents the minuscule percentage of Muslims one could contemplate exempting from an otherwise blanket suspicion. The percentage is on the order of a zero then several zeros after the decimal point, for it would require the kind of life-risking above-and-beyond-the-call-of-duty behaviors her client demonstrated, and the numbers of Muslims doing that is obviously infinitessimal.<br />And even Muslims like that should be watched, if otherwise exempted.Hesperadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394374828751466705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29566846.post-60555160054800515522009-11-11T21:21:29.664-08:002009-11-11T21:21:29.664-08:00Thanks Nobody,

She told me she and her husband are both from Albania, that they’re looking for a lawyer to help them with immigration.<br /><br />Me: Are you Muslim or Christian?<br /><br />Albanian Chick: We are both Muslim.<br /><br /><br />At that point, I know for sure I’m not helping them. This is the only kind of Muslim I’ll help. Islam is at war with the West, at war with America, and I know on which side of that war I am.<br /><br />We need less Muslims (from Albania or wherever else) in our country, not more. Do you have the magic decoder ring that tells you which Muslims will be like Nidal Malik Hasan and which won’t? I will not be helping to increase their presence. And frankly, we have enough immigrants right now and not enough jobs (and too many jobs with wages pushed down by aliens). Not my job to make it worse.<br /></i><br />Read the rest of it in the link above.Nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15936731686633423188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29566846.post-33883707995427950902009-11-06T08:03:58.999-08:002009-11-06T08:03:58.999-08:00Anonymous,

I will revise my essay: I had plotted Westergaard somewhere between Spencer and Glazov, but it's clear he is at the very least as low on the asymptotic scale as Glazov, if not deeper.Hesperadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394374828751466705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29566846.post-77757352665211410202009-11-05T22:13:25.240-08:002009-11-05T22:13:25.240-08:00Speaking of Westergaard, he actually threatened wi...Speaking of Westergaard, he actually threatened with <a href="http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,544052,00.html" rel="nofollow">legal action against Geert Wilders</a> in order to force Wilders to remove Westergaard's Mohammad cartoon from the movie Fitna.<br /><br />Allegedly, he did this because his cartoon was supposedly taken out of its original context. He explained that <i>It was a cartoon aiming at fanatic Islamist terrorists -- <b>a small part of Islam</b>.</i> (Emphasis mine.) He also claimed that <i>I know a lot of Muslims living here in Denmark who accept democracy completely and who live their religion as a very private matter. I hope that all Muslims will adapt to secular society. There is currently friction between Muslim and Christian culture. But I am quite sure that our Western democratic culture will prevail over the darker version of Islam. We must have Islam-light.</i>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03076780315288867714noreply@blogger.com
