Of dogs, donkeys and women…
D.L. Adams, president of Stop Islamization of America (SIOA), has responded to accusations that bringing dogs, donkeys and women ( ! ) to the Capitol mall on Friday to interfere with the prayer event are extreme provocations:
Because the Arutz Sheva article picked up on some of SIOA’s creative brainstorming posts to use humor and a bit of theatrics involving the things that are thought to disrupt prayer for Muslims – dogs, donkeys and women – some are already calling this loving group of people “extreme”.
I take the opposite viewpoint and contend that drawing attention to the Muslim belief that ”dogs, donkeys, women” (and don’t forget breaking wind) are the things that interfere with their prayers being received, rather than spiritual matters like insincerity of heart, highlights the essential materialism of this so-called religion.
Also of note, one of the SIOA speakers at their ‘counter event’ at the US Capitol will be Christine Brim, who collaborated with the Belgian far-right Vlaams Belang (VB) party to organize the 2007 CounterJihad Europa Conference in Brussels.
