Well, friends, I came across an article today that describes an interesting situation at one of this nation's supposedly greatest educational institutions: Harvard University. It would appear that one of the smaller campus co-ed gymnasiums has instituted a policy of including a few hours of "women-only" workout time specifically to accommodate Muslim women. More specifically, it was a huge group of exactly SIX Muslim women.
Now, we all know that the cult we call Islam forbids women to be seen in public by men. Above and beyond that, in most cases they are not allowed to show flesh in any way, shape, or form. This is why they are often seen in head dress, and covered as much as possible, even here in the states where there is no Sharia law. Apparently, these six Muslim women went to bat to get some time set aside so that they could go and work out in the co-ed gym without having to be in the presence of men. Sadly, the university complied, and has granted about six hours out of seventy each week specifically for these women to be able to have their way.
From what I've read, the policy is not very popular on campus. The school newspaper, known as the Harvard Crimson, has published at least two op-ed pieces in which student writers have expressed their discontent with the policy. I read these articles online myself, and noted with great satisfaction that nearly every comment posted by people in the "comments" sections that followed the articles was also a comment against the policy. I was pleased to see such a unified front lining up against this blatant infringement on our way of life, albeit a small one.
The gym was put in place to be available to everybody, regardless of age, race, sex, religion, or creed. And this is as it should be. And here we are now, where one particular little minority group of individuals has succeeded in spitting in the face of the values that we hold dear. I put forth that if these six Muslim women are so uncomfortable working out in the presence of men, or more importantly, if their pathetic excuse of a religion forbids it, then they ought not to go to this gym. Let them exercise in the privacy of their own home/dorm/room, or find one of the countless women-only gyms that are available just about everywhere you turn.
I was deeply saddened to see that such a distinguished organization as Harvard would capitulate to such an inappropriate request. Perhaps they feared what would happen if they refused it, and that's even more saddening. Once again, Islamic fascism and tyranny has bullied one of the most respected institutions in this nation. Now, I doubt that the university feared suicide-bombing retaliation by these six women, but the potentially negative press that Harvard would have faced in the light of "offending" Islam apparently got the better of them. So they gave in.
This is another shining example of political correctness showing its horns as one of the worst evils we've let ourselves embrace.
I for one am not afraid to speak out against this kind of offensive imposition by Islam. I intend to spout off against Islam every chance I get, because I see nothing good coming from it. For many years, it was merely a nuisance that most of us could tolerate. We'd see some Palestinian suicide bombing on the news, and say, "How terrible." Now it's very much "in your face", and it's not there just to be rude. Islam is imposing itself on the entire world, wherever it can. And it doesn't do so with the subtle suggestion of, "Hey, give our religion a try." Rather, it's more of an enforcement that says, "Join us or die, infidel."
Now, it's true that no threats were made by these six Muslim students against the university. But the sad thing is that the threat was still nevertheless implied, when you think about it. The girls don't HAVE to make any threats. They have billions of pissed off, angry, and murderous fellow Muslims around the world to back up their views and their wishes. Who wants to stand up against that? Apparently, Harvard does not.
I would have expected more from Harvard University. Shame on them for pandering to these six Muslim female students. It won't be long before there will be mandatory prayer mats in every campus facility, no classes during the month of Ramadan, and countless other Islamic impositions. It starts with the small things like gymnasium rights, and eventually grows to include much more. Harvard should have stood their ground here and now, rather than get sucked into a spiral of capitulation.
You can call me Islamophobic if you want, if you think that's what I'm about. The thing is, I don't fear Islam so much as I simply fucking despise it and resent it. Who the hell are Muslims to tell me how to live my life? I never told them how to live theirs. I only expected them to respect my way of life, if they expect me to respect theirs. Sadly, they don't. They can take their turbans, their sandals, and their Korans, and shove them up their sorry Islamic asses. I've got a right to be on this planet as much as they do. Frankly, I think I have MORE of a right to be here, because I'm not condoning the suicide bombing of innocent people, Israeli or otherwise. Since they DO condone that stuff, it would seem to me that they've forfeited their right to co-exist with me. I'm not interested in killing anyone, but if someone wants me dead for no good reason, then I can't sit by idly and let them just kill me. As I've said before, I'd have no problem living side by side with their faith if it wasn't so dead set on making me dead. Unfortunately, that's not how it is. Infidels must be eliminated in Islam, and I'm proud to announce that I am, and always will be, an infidel. In fact, I think I'm going to go get a T-shirt made up that simply says "INFIDEL" on the front in huge bold letters. I'd wear it proudly. And I'd make sure to include a waving American flag alongside it, because Muslims hate nothing more than Old Glory waving around; they always have this overwhelming desire to burn it. Let them just try to burn the flag I'm wearing on my chest and see what happens.
It should be apparent to you by now that I embrace the war on terror, and I do so because I perceive it as a defensive war to protect our way of life. A lifestyle that is about freedom and liberty; you know, things that Islam does not allow. Islamic extremists that embrace murder to further their cult, in my eyes, have forfeited their right to live. Therefore, let the war rage on. If they want me dead, I want them dead first. If there is such a thing as a peaceful, moderate Muslim, I'd be happy to try and co-exist with him/her. It's my opinion that such moderates are few and far between, and even those claiming to be moderate tend to embrace the causes that the extremists pursue. That makes them just about as bad. I give little quarter to Muslims of any kind anymore. I'd love to see the moderates step up and discredit, disavow, or insult their extremist brethren, but the fact that they do not do so speaks volumes. I've seen a select few moderate Muslims speak up on shows like Glenn Beck, and I commend them for that. It's a shame there isn't more of that happening. The fact that it isn't happening is what leads me to believe that most share the same sentiments as their brazen brethren. Sure that may be naive of me, but I'm more of a "show me" kind of person. And I haven't been shown anything that leads me to believe that anything good will ever come of Islam.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thumb my nose at Harvard University for not having the foresight to realize all of the implications that their poor decision will have on our way of life. For those being educated there, you have my sincerest condolences for being done a huge disservice. I would hope that wisdom would prevail soon, and that this debacle of a campus policy gets the treatment it deserves: complete and utter rejection.
Stand up and speak out, people, before it's too late and you're all forced to pray five times a day in Arabic or Persian. Something wicked this way comes....
