Mani (Mainstream): Did you see the newspaper article about how many Muslim countries want the United Nations to adopt an international law outlawing blasphemy against Islam, Muslims, the Qur’an, etc.?Modi (Moderate): Yes, I did. I am surprised they have not done it before now. They expect the Europeans to cave in to their demands and get behind the proposal—just to show they are not racists.
Mani: What does being called racists have to do with it?
Modi: Europeans in general are more afraid of being called racists than they are of putting their people at risk. Actually, it is not so much the people—the people are much better than their leaders—the leaders are the problem. Look at the Archbishop of Canterbury, for instance. It is unbelievable and shocking that he is suggesting adopting the Sharia. And Livingstone? I just don’t know how his people can put up with that puppet.
Mani: Won’t the Americans stiffen European spines a little?
Modi: (laughs) Not really. They have not yet been able to get them to look at sanctions for Iran. It would take a new Republican president and Republicans retaking the House and the Senate to find anyone who has enough guts to tell them to stand up and act like real people instead of Little Lord Fauntleroys. They have no John Boltons in the surrender party.
Mani: What if there is a Democrat president and the Democrats retain Congress?
Modi: In that case, the American people lose again! It is a shame. The Americans have done wonders for us, despite all the terrible people against them. They are beautiful and brave. I love them. But America under the Democrats are different. They will be more like the Banu Qurayzah.
Radi (Radical): Ha! I knew the Americans would surrender. They are all cowards!
Mani: You know better than that, Radi. You try to take on just one of those Yanks, even one with just fuzz on his face, and he will turn you every way but loose. I remember the words of Ishaq. Can you picture Americans accepting this fate as did the Qurayzah?
The (Qurayzah) captives were taken into Medina,
where they dug mass graves in the marketplace. It was a long day, but
eight hundred Jews met their deaths that day. Muhammad and his
twelve-year-old wife sat and watched the executions (beheadings) the entire day
and into the night. The Apostle of Allah had every male Jew killed.
For every Jewish male (child), pubic hair was a death sentence. If
he had no pubic hair, then he would (escape death), then be raised as a
Muslim.[1]
Modi: When I think of that, I just cannot put myself in the place of a young boy standing in the line that moved steadily forward in the blood-drenched trench, awaiting his turn to have his head cut off as the people far in front of him suffered that fate. Every death had its own sound, and it hurt him to hear it, as much as it hurt him to see it. When will someone rise and say, “Enough!”? When will it ever be enough? No one that day said, “Enough.” The line continued to move forward. (Modi’s eyes began to water as he spoke.)
Radi: Why are you looking so glum, Modi. They were only Jews.
Mani: How can you be so indifferent to human tragedy because of their tribe or their religion? Someone else with a sickness has erased your humanity. Many of the surviving children of the Banu Qurayzah were raised as Muslims, married, had children, and their children had children and on and on. You might be a descendant of one of those Jewish kids, Radi.
Radi: WHAT? You say that again and you will taste my blade.
Modi: I hope that you can not do things like that, Radi. You know, the Sharia is not all that popular in some Muslim areas. Many like the speed in which punishment is meted out to those who deserve it. The Europeans and some Americans are simply too squeamish about dealing with murderers and other predators. They do not like to punish, except for those who disagree with them. They are always harsh with Republicans.
Mani: Yes, they keep death-row inmates around almost forever, wasting their tax dollars by feeding them, clothing them, and entertaining them for years. After a while, they even let some go--to rob, rape, and kill again. I have seen videos of prisoners honing their fighting skills with professional equipment. That to me is neither punishing nor reforming them; just making them more efficient criminals.
Modi: I guess the West should determine guilt or innocence their own way; however, once guilt is determined, they should consider punishing them our way, with our speed.
Radi: I like our laws better. When someone does something to you, you can retaliate in kind.
Mani: No, Radi. You leave the law and punishment to the professionals. We do not want our men retreating into the lawless human jungle again. We must move on. And as Modi said often enough, we cannot keep killing Americans; they are our best hope to escape from a culture of death. I want to live and enjoy my kids and my grandkids. I do not want anyone telling me I must put on the suicide vest and kill Jews.
Modi: Good for you, Mani. Look, Radi, we want to remain Muslims because we love Allah and want to serve him. We just do not want others who really do not know, trying to tell us how we must best serve Him. I am getting sick and tired of some of those evil people.
Radi: Remember, Modi, all of those laws and instructions come from Allah. You must heed them under severe penalties.
Modi: Do you realize, Radi, that we must take the word of so many people who are always so quick to tell us what is God’s will? Do you also realize how many questions we may not ask? Normally, when one denies another’s right to ask questions, it is because one either does not know the answer, or because one does not want others to know the answer.
Mani: Getting back to the Americans, do you really believe the one American political party is so different from the other?
Modi: Yes, Mani, decidedly. The conservatives generally see things as they are; the Liberals do not seem to see or understand reality. They are like naughty children playing a game, wanting their own rules, or they will take their ball and go home. They yell and scream and lie to get others in trouble, just like spoiled brats.
Mani: I have hear it all before. One party does not want the world to be the way it is, and they believe they can change it. The more they try, the more people get hurt. They are in denial about hurting people. As the saying goes: to make an omelet you must break some eggs. That may be fine for omelets, but you never should think about people that way. Of course, they only treat their own citizens that way; they fawn over Europe and whine about how inferior their own culture is to everyone else’s.
Radi: I look forward to having them build their own mass graves and…
Modi, Mani (together): Shut up, you moron!
Radi: Say what you want about me. I will see the Americans surrendering and paying the jizya tax to us, their superiors.
Modi: There are too many good people to stop that from happening, Radi.
Radi: Not if that liberal political party takes over.
Mani: He has a point there, Modi.
Modi: I noticed. He should wear a different hat to hide it.
Radi: Have I been insulted, Mani?
Mani: What makes you think so?
Radi: He has a strange look on his face.
Mani: Maybe he’s hungry.
Radi: So am I, let’s go eat. (Modi and Mani start running)
Mani: (Calls over his shoulder to Radi) Last one there pays.
Radi: Hey! That is not fair. (Runs after them)
