Dhimmitude [Islam] Implies a Protection Racket

At this point in the discussion, it's worth stepping back and remembering what "dhimmitude" denotes. It means "protection," and now we know in what sense that word is meant: in the sense of protection racket. When the Westies used to barge into bars in my mother's old neighborhood, Hell's Kitchen, and offer "protection" to the owners, it was clear to everyone involved from whom the hapless businessmen were being protected: from the Westies. Given the many ways in which Muhammad, once he arrived in Medina and came to power, acted like a gangster, it's no surprise that his followers continue to carry on like a gang of thugs. When Islamic apologists insist that any discussion of Islam's crimes against "unbelievers" of every creed or none is hateful Islamophobia, it's best to remember how Mafia lawyers used to rant about ethnic stereotypes--typically as they addressed a jury, defending some "mook" who'd shot his cousin in the back of the head. Then they'd go home, open a jug of Gallo red, and watch The Sopranos. I wonder if Reza Aslan and Ibrahim Hooper, after a long, hard day of lying, stoke up the shisha and kick back to enjoy the video footage from Alexandria and Baghdad....
