Obama Versus the KOOKIES

In case you're wondering, I've decided to save time when discussing immoderate Muslims who murder because of real or imagined insults to the religion of peace. Hence, Koran Obeyers Ordering Killing In Every Society (KOOKIES). The KOOKIES first showed up in 2006 after a Danish newspaper published unflattering cartoons of the prophet Mohammed. Unfortunately for the murdered infidels, no KOOKIES would ever have known about the insult without local help.

Our Muslim friends in the Middle East are not particularly big on reading foreign-language newspapers, so the imams and ayatollahs reprinted the offending cartoons in local sheets, including a few cartoons which weren't even in the Danish paper. Adding little suggestions like "kill all defamers of Islam," and "death to those who insult the Prophet," the race to see who could murder the firstest and the mostest was on.

Last week there was a repeat episode. Like most Americans, I was fully aware of the publicity-seeking pastor in Florida who was going to memorialize 9-11 by burning Korans at his church. He got his fifteen minutes of fame, and backed off. But until the heads started rolling (literally) again, I was unaware that he had decided to go ahead and burn a Koran anyway. Now if I didn't know that, how did a bunch of immoderate Muslim murderers in Afghanistan know about it? Well, the imams and the ayatollahs repeated their 2006 comedy act, but this time they had the assistance of the President of Afghanistan, the slimy and crooked Taliban-appeaser Hamid Karzai.

Undoubtedly Karzai was merely establishing his bona fides with the Taliban and other immoderate Muslims in readiness for their re-taking of Afghanistan the moment the last American soldier leaves. And it certainly had its desired effect. It caused thousands of immoderate Muslims to gather together for a hate-fest (required at least every couple of weeks or so), and not just in Afghanistan. But its best effect was in the once-and-future Talibanate. Mobs of hundreds of sensitive Afghan Muslims marched on Kandahar, a favorite killing ground. They carried Korans over their heads, and long sticks to batter anyone who got in their way.

The best was reserved for the formerly relatively peaceful city of Mazar-i-Sharif. There a large crowd of purveyors of the religion of peace mobbed a UN compound, and left at least seven UN employees dead--two of them beheaded. In Kabul itself, two cross-dressing KOOKIES blew themselves up after an unsuccessful attempt to get onto a NATO base. A third, in men's clothing was shot down and killed. The UN Human Rights Commission may have attempted to cool the tempers of rabid believers in anti-defamation resolutions, but inside Islam, the punishment for burning a Koran is to murder people 4,000 miles away who weren't even aware that somebody had burned a Koran.

Enter Barack Hussein Obama, Speechifier-in-Chief. Said the President who bowed low to the Saudi King: "To attack and kill innocent people in response to the burning of a Koran is outrageous, and an affront to human decency and dignity." No, Mr. Obama. Electing you as President was an outrage. This was cold-blooded, mob-fueled, Islamic terrorist mass murder. Obama couldn't bring himself to outright condemn these murders as, well, murders. But he carefully prefaced his weak-kneed response with: "The desecration of any holy text, including the Koran, is an act of extreme intolerance and bigotry." The Koran is a holy text the way Mein Kampf is a political text. It's a stretch, but not entirely untrue.

The governor of Kandahar was quick to issue his own Obama-like statement. Rather than recognize that his religion has not advanced one day since Mohammed emerged from his cave announcing jihad on Christians, Jews and pagans, the governor claimed the riots and murders were incited by extremists. That sounds familiar. Those peaceful and loving Muslim demonstrations that we've seen time and again were forced into violence by a few extremists. Somehow it doesn't seem to take much to turn one of those "peaceful demonstrations" into a bloodthirsty mob. It may have something to do with the fact that on a scale of 1 to 100, 100 being the most violent, "extremists" score 100, while the peaceful demonstrators (aka "moderate Muslims") score a mere 98.

Moral equivalence is already rearing its ugly head, and UN, NATO, and Afghan authorities are investigating whether the local security forces overreacted by killing some of the "peaceful demonstrators." The Taliban has denied responsibility, and that's good enough for the Western useful idiots. A fourth Afghan man was killed along with the three suicide bombers, but has not been directly linked to the attack. Therefore, Western authorities are doing cartwheels attempting to determine if he was an innocent bystander killed by overzealous NATO military action.

Any President who can use terms like "man-caused disasters" and "kinetic military action" when describing mass murder and presidential usurpation of the power of Congress to lob missiles into Libya has no problem calling another Islamic mass murder "outrageous." One loose cannon fundamentalist minister in Florida burns a book (holy or otherwise) and the religion of peace goes nuts. If every insult to Christianity and Judaism and their Holy Books resulted in the same kind of violence, there would be no Muslims to offend. But that isn't what civilized religions and civilized people do.

I assume we will soon be hearing massive condemnation and seeing huge demonstrations against the murders from moderate Muslims throughout the world. I'm sure that the imams and ayatollahs will preach tolerance and understanding while telling the members of their mosques to stop killing book-burners and those who didn't rush to stop the book-burners. But then I'm already preparing for the arrival of the Easter Bunny, so I could be wrong.
