Work Hard and Don't Marry a Muslim

Long before the first Muslim violence came to our shores, being a renowned neighborhood philosopher, I was educating the woman whom I would eventually marry on the First Rule of Life: Don't marry a Muslim!

And yes, I aways included the exclamation point.

So when the movie, Not Without My Daughter came out, we were both disappointed that Sally Field (and the woman she was playing) hadn't gotten all that was coming to her. As Judge Judy always says, "Hey, you picked him."

Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are a lot of good Muslims, maybe even the vast majority, but there are probably a lot of perfectly nice bushmen too, and well, would you marry one? And if you did, would you be surprised if he reverted to hunting and gathering?

But OK, let's say you've met a lovely Muslim (Ignoring that oxymoron), and you're weak and you marry him. DON'T VISIT THE FAMILY IN ISLAMISTAN! Some stupidity really deserves to be terminal, don't you think? By the way, this problem, for all you feminists and fem-males doesn't exist in the reverse - you know, when normal men marry Muslim women (now there's a book title if ever I heard one). The Muslim wife probably wants to keep the hubby from visiting the Middle East so he doesn't get any ideas.

Just for fun, I gave my wife a call at work before writing this because I needed to ask her a very important question... one that I hadn't asked in fifteen years...

Wife: Ted's wife speaking (OK, she said her name, but I'm not going to tell it to you. Besides, she doesn't want people to know she's married to me, but it has nothing to do with Sharia Law)

Me: Hi, how are things today?

Wife: OK... I'm right in the middle of something...

Me: So make it fast?

Wife: Yeah

Me: What's the number one rule?

Wife <whispering> Don't marry...

Me: Muslims?

Wife: Yeah.

Me: OK, bye

Wife: Bye

So you see guys, it IS possible to get through to some women.

But while we are all aware of the many problems women have in even the most advanced Muslim countries (again excuse the oxymoron), leftists don't decry the persecution of homosexuals in these countries. Why is that? It's not because they're still in the closet, it's because they're in a trunk in a hidden compartment in that closet.

But since there's always no method to my madness, I mention this because I recently read something on this service in which someone was actually defending the six Imams on the plane in Minneapolis, Mini-Muslims if you will, and he was actually chastising the passengers for being too jumpy (Fortunately, none of those passengers were around to see it, but all are still around to see it, if you get my drift).

It seems to me that most of those who defend Muslims always do so on some perceived principle, and often ignore the bigger principles like - the right to life. Additionally, these people are often ill-informed and/or they have tunnel vision, and thus they focus on the narrowest of alleged transgressions and attempt to magnify them into some grand rights violation. Even worse, more often than not, the defenders can't even write a decent sentence, but I'll save that for another time.

Ignoring the fact that it was Muslims who were responsible for bringing about the current environment and the very real nuisance caused by all the security checks, and aside from the fact that Muslims have done virtually nothing to reassure us that they want their more militant faction destroyed, we have these blind left-wingnuts-with-an-apparent-death-wish defending them - defending the very people who, even in their most benign state, would make their clueless defenders less free. It's like:

"We're not free if you're not free, even if we'll be less free if you actually are free."
