The Islamic Empire Strikes Back

Political Correctness will be our undoing.
Secret Santa
According to Sher Zieve, “Due to concerns regarding Austria’s growing Muslim population, the country’s officials are said to have banned references to St. Nick—also known as Santa Claus—in its kindergarten schools. The Muslim immigration into Austria is said to be at 400,000 and growing.”
“As Muslims continue to increase their populations in Western countries more western traditions are being removed—said to be attributed to fears of offending Muslim groups. However, Austrian officials said that the reason for the banning of St. Nick is that the bearded figure “evokes fear” in children.”
What kind of pansy-ass kids are we talking about here? I don’t know about you, but I’ve never met one kid who was afraid of Santa Claus. What’s up with Austria?
While “Christmas” is being systematically removed from our national lexicon, most reminders of our national holiday are being cleansed so we don’t offend one group: Muslims. So much for peaceful assimilation.
It’s always struck me funny how some groups migrate to a country in search of better opportunity, while later attempting to make their new home resemble that which they fled. Christmas is an international celebration and is harmless.
No word during the Christmas season about jihad or fatwas or shahada. No one who doesn’t conform to the Christmas holiday is deemed an infidel marked for elimination. What’s so offensive about Christmas? Granted, political correctness frowns on anything that uses the image of an old white man, but cut Santa some slack. Santa has never burned anyone alive, bombed a crowded shopping mall, hijacked airliners, enslaved women, and Santa isn’t Jewish. What’s the problem?
Santa gives toys to children. The horror….
Let’s be consistent. In many Muslim countries, Sharia law and customs are observed, as Islam is the dominant culture. In Western nations, Christians, for the most part, are dominant thus their customs are observed. However, in more and more places, those customs are sidelined as they “offend” a Muslim minority.
One could reason that Muslims do the research and find out what the customs are before immigrating to a new culture, and if those customs may offend, look elsewhere. But thanks to political correctness, and those who skillfully use it as a weapon, everyone is being forced to change for one group. That change is not out of courtesy, but out of fear of traditional riotous uprising, or other threats of violence that statistically follows some Muslims wherever they settle. National laws are being suspended in certain areas to appease Muslims, and we in America now have a Muslim in the United States Congress. We know what’s coming.
Santa is welcome in my home, and Austria has gone over that slippery slope. Be ready to entertain more demands in the future. That is a certainty.
