The institution of Dhimmitude was a unique Islamic development,
which created a special class of citizens. These people were allowed to exist
in a subservient status. They were conquered people in their own lands under
Islamic domination.
This situation existed across the Islamic world, until it
was conquered by the Western (Christian) nations. Unfortunately Dhimmitude is
not just an institution; it is a submissive mindset adopted by victims of
bullying and intimidation everywhere. Successful bullies instinctively
understand the importance of inflicting this mindset on their victims. By doing
so, they can gain total control with a minimum of effort.
Many of us have witnessed the tragedy of women who have
been physically and psychologically abused by husbands for years. Often they
defend the actions of the abuser whilst blaming themselves for the abuse (“If
only I hadn’t served dinner too late he would never have beaten me”).
Tyrants instinctively understand this method of
oppression. That is why it is so hard for subjected people to overthrow them.
By building this method into his doctrine, Mohammed ensured that once conquered
by Islam, no revolt by dhimmis would ever be possible. In fact no society which
has been conquered by Islam has ever freed itself without outside help.
Let me repeat that:
Historically, NO SOCIETY WHICH HAS BEEN CONQUERED BY ISLAM HAS EVER
FREED ITSELF WITHOUT OUTSIDE HELP.
M. Lal Goel (A Hindu)
Professor Emeritus of Political Science [1] writes of the Islamic
institution of Dhimmitude:
Dhimmitude is a
state of fear and insecurity on the part of infidels who are required to accept
a condition of humiliation. It is characterized by the victim’s siding with his
oppressors, by the moral justification the victim provides for his oppressors’
hateful behaviour.
The Dhimmi loses the possibility of revolt because revolt
arises from a sense of injustice. He loathes himself in order to praise his
oppressors. Dhimmis lived under some 20 disabilities. Dhimmis were prohibited
to build new places of worship, to ring church bells or take out processions,
to ride horses or camels (they could ride donkeys), to marry a Muslim woman, to
wear decorative clothing, to own a Muslim as a slave or to testify against a
Muslim in a court of law.
After WW1when the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire was defeated,
the institution of dhimmitude was supposed to have been abolished.
Unfortunately, this phenomenon continues as a state of mind. It is growing
almost daily around the world, as people submit spiritually and emotionally to
Islamic superiority.
For example, in 2006, the Pope gave his famous
Regensburg address. In it he quoted a Byzantine emperor, who said that Islam
had never brought forth anything into this world except violence. The Pope did
not endorse this view. He merely used it as an example to make a theological
point in a somewhat abstract discussion.
Muslims around the world immediately began to protest.
In England, church goers were harassed by Muslim protesters, but elsewhere
things were far worse. Attacks by Muslims against Christians escalated and in
Somalia, a nun who was doing humanitarian work, (for Muslims) was shot in the
back.
What was the Pope’s reaction? We would not of course expect him to be
undiplomatic and declare “I told you Islam is violent.” He could however have
kept his peace, as traditionally the Pope never apologizes. Instead, he chose
to act as a dhimmi and apologize to the Muslims.
By apologizing, he sent a message to the world that his
statements had caused the violence, not the raging Muslims who carried it out.
Once the Pope apologized, the Muslims stopped rioting. Islam had achieved its
goal. The Pope had recognized that he had wronged Islam and caused the violence
against Christians, he would never do this again.
This is how Jihad works, slowly, step by step, leaders,
opinion makers, academics, journalists, organizations and eventually the
general population, are cowed into submission, (remember, Islam is Arabic for
submission) and forced to accept responsibility for deliberate Islamic attacks
against them.
Pretty soon, people get the message and every attack is
greeted with the expected response, “what must we have done to cause this, it
must be our fault because of the invasion of Iraq/Afghanistan/support for
Israel/the Crusades/discrimination/islamophobia/our causing poverty etc. etc.”
Never ever, does Islam take responsibility because it
is a peaceful religion with a few (million?) extremists who have misunderstood
it.
Now imagine yourself in the position of a military
commander trying to take control of a nation. Every time you attack your
intended victim, they blame themselves for your aggression. They hold inquiries
to find which of them is guilty. Instead of attacking you, they attack their
own Government/institutions/anyone they can think of. How can you lose? Just
keep up a relentless series of attacks and blame the victim every time until
finally, they capitulate.
Now can you understand the awesome power of Jihad? You
can’t beat it with nuclear weapons, smart bombs, or stealth bombers. It doesn’t
matter how many laser guided missiles or unmanned drones you have.
It doesn’t
matter how well trained your army is. If you are too afraid to admit who your
enemy is, then you might as well throw them all in the bin for the good they
will do you. You cannot beat Jihad with force, it is too powerful; don’t even
bother thinking about it, the army will not save you from Jihad.
The only thing that will save us from Jihad is the
truth and:
Truth cannot exist without courage.
