dhim·mi
(d
m
or zm)
- A Qur'anic term that refers to a subjugated non-Muslim person living in a society
dominated by Muslims. Second-class status is confirmed by the legal system
and dhimmis do not share the rights of their Muslim rulers. (ex. of use:
"Hey Jimmy, if you want to be a dhimmi, then you'd better learn how to
shimmy.")
dhim·wit (dmwt )
- A non-Muslim member of a free society that abets the stated cause of Islamic
domination with remarkable gullibility or guile. A dhimwit is always quick
to extend sympathy to the
very enemy
that would take away his or her own freedom (or life) if given the opportunity.
February 2007 Dhimwit:
Ted Turner
Ted Turner
Giving Angry White Males a bad name.
This month,
French President Jacques Chirac narrowly escaped our Dhimwit of the Month honor
by hastily retracting an off-the-cuff remark in which he asserted that Iran
having "one or two nuclear weapons" wouldn't pose much of a danger to the world.
Whether his retraction was
based on common sense or political expediency is a matter of speculation, but
American billionaire Ted Turner can hardly be accused having too much of either
these days.
Turner went even further
than Chirac last year by saying that Iran should be allowed to have ten
nuclear bombs, since the U.S. has "28,000". To our knowledge, he has yet
to retract this ridiculous statement.
What makes this
particularly noteworthy is that Turner co-founded the Nuclear Threat Initiative,
an anti-nuclear proliferation organization that claims to be "working for
a safer world." By this, we assume that the group means this
world... although it is unclear how our safety is enhanced by the presence of
nuclear weapons in the hands of the same theocratic regime that pioneered the
suicide bomber and has been the world's leading financier of Islamic terror.
Perhaps Turner didn't
catch the memo, but Islamic terrorists are trying to
kill the rest of us, and have been for some time. They have no obligation
to international law or even basic human decency. All they have is a
vision of mass destruction in the name of Allah.
Turner's statement legitimizes the
illegal activities of rogue regimes like Iran, abetting their quest for nuclear
weapons and most certainly making the world a far more dangerous place for
ordinary residents.
Turner is one of the wealthiest men
alive. He owns massive swaths of real estate in places like Patagonia (the
obscure southern tip of South America). In short, he is one of just a
handful of individuals on the planet who could actually ride out a nuclear
holocaust in luxurious fashion, while the rest of the world perishes in chaos.
Although Turner apparently
sees through Iran's flimsy denial that it is pursuing nuclear capability for
"peaceful purposes," he is unable to make the obvious connection between
apocalyptically-minded nuclear Mullahs and a very, very bright future certain
parts of the planet. He is deeply ignorant of radical Islam and its
relentless drive to dominate every soul on earth by any means necessary.
This man's wealth
insulates him from the reality in which the rest of us have to live, which is
why he feels comfortable essentially telling the Iranians that they have a right
to pursue nuclear ambitions. Even if we successfully preempt the Iranian
holocaust, irresponsible dhimwits like Ted Turner have convinced these religious
fanatics of their entitlement to weapons of mass destruction, virtually assuring
that our children will have to pay a price of some sort down the line.
