Jihad Politically Incorrect? Then Count me In!!
JIHAD . . . JIHAD . . . JIHAD . . . and for good measure, JIHAD THIS!
Okay, it's a bit late, but the internet has been mostly inaccessible to me these past two weeks. Following last week's big blow-up over the concern that a bunch of good ole white boys using words like "Jihad" is disrespectful of Islam and might hurt the feelings of some fervent followers who think the highest means of praising an almighty is to strap on an explosive vest and wander into a group of strangers, I cannot help but look for opportunities to throw the word into conversations. Admittedly a major challenge, especially in a Christian dominated culture.
It is now inappropriate to call a spade a spade, even when the spade is wearing a name tag proudly proclaiming "Hello! I'm a Spade!"
Political Correctness is nothing more than a movement of acculturated appeasement. Appeasement has never been successful or positive, except for those being appeased. It is a movement capable of producing nothing better than that which is normally deposited within the porcelain collection bowl.
So, al Qaedans of the world and like minded sympathizers: a happy Jihad back at you. Preferably where the sun don't shine.
