Mickey goes jihadi

News of the video of Mickey Mouse encouraging Palestinian children to become martyrs is making the rounds on the Internet, talk radio and cable TV. As a result of the video, pols are reminding us once again that Islam is a religion of peace and the video is the work of a small minority of radicals who have hijacked a religion. Meanwhile, the peaceful folks at CAIR are calling anyone who calls attention to the video a racist Islamophobe.

It strains reason to explain how pols and Islamic apologists on the one hand call Islam a religion of peace. Then on the other, those same people go about explaining away a state sponsored video that uses a cartoon to encourage children to become suicide bombers all in the name of…you guessed it…the religion of peace.

It is ridiculous how, after the latest homicide bomb attack, we see pols and yakers shake their heads and wonder aloud, how can people let their children be used in this manner. Then be unable to connect the dots when they see Mickey Mouse extolling the virtues of martyrdom in Arabic. The condemnation of Hamas, which sponsors this kind of crap, is hardly noticeable – particularly in Europe.

There, the people seem more interested in having a few more good years of sipping wine and munching cheese undisturbed before the Islamists take over. Better that than confronting the dragon at the doorstep while the dragon is small enough to be managed. Confronting the dragon might disrupt the next wine and cheese party. Besides it’s all Israel’s fault.

Then there’s the “it’s only the 10% that are causing all of the trouble” argument. Well let’s say that it’s really 20%. That would leave 80% to drown out the 20%. It ain’t happening. Even half of the 80% would be 40% and certainly sufficient to bring the 20% in line, but it ain’t happening. Even half of the 40% would be 20% and sufficient to create the kind of political stalemate we have in the US. It ain’t happening. Even half of the 20% would be 10%. That’s a 110 million Muslims. That ought to be enough to cause a worldwide demonstration condemning hateful Islam. It ain’t happening.

What is happening is when political cartoons depicting Mohammad are published directed at discerning adults, not impressionable children, riots break out across the Muslim world. Churches are torched and nuns murdered all in the name of the religion of peace.

Then there’s the whole Lib BS line that Saddam wasn’t sponsoring terrorism. Well yes he was. He was sending $25,000 to every Palestinian family that provided a homicide bomber. So you had Mickey Mouse recruiting bombers and Goofy paying them off, all in the name of the religion of peace.
