Some of you might not have heard the story- a Koran was "desecrated" in Nashville and police called. Due to more pressing problems than a book being a little messed up- burglaries and the like- it took the local PD some time to respond, and when they did they apologised for the lateness of their arrival. Unsurprisingly, the book was not in need of urgent medical care. However, local Muslims were not impressed. An Emergency Communications Centre employee has been disciplined. That's right, an employee has been disciplined because they prioritised burglaries ahead of a book. Shocked and appalled? I hope so because if we look at the original story, the "incident" was reported to police at noon- a local man said that the book had been lying there since 5 p.m. So, it lay there for 19 hours before being reported to police and the local Muslims are upset because the police took three hours to arrive. The police chief had this to say-
"I don't have any reason to believe that someone decided not to go there for any reasons of bigotry or discrimination. I think that some days you get really busy and you can do a better job of managing the calls, and I think in this case between us and the (Emergency Communication Center) we should have probably done a better job of managing the calls."
This is pretty odd because at the time the police said-
"We can't pick when the calls come in. We have to take the high priorities as they come."
So the Nashville police are now saying that a messed up book will get a higher priority than a burglary? Perhaps they would be better sticking to being police and stopped being perfect little dhimmis. It's sickening that not only are they going to give this sort of incident- I refuse to call it a crime- higher priority but a dispatcher is also being punished for doing nothing other than his/her job- sending the police where they are needed most.

Dhimmitude: the Islamic system of governing populations conquered by jihad wars, encompassing all of the demographic, ethnic, and religious aspects of the political system. The word "dhimmitude" as a historical concept, was coined by Bat Ye'or in 1983 to describe the legal and social conditions of Jews and Christians subjected to Islamic rule. The word "dhimmitude" comes from dhimmi, an Arabic word meaning "protected". Dhimmi was the name applied by the Arab-Muslim conquerors to indigenous non-Muslim populations who surrendered by a treaty (dhimma) to Muslim domination. Islamic conquests expanded over vast territories in Africa, Europe and Asia, for over a millennium (638-1683). The Muslim empire incorporated numerous varied peoples which had their own religion, culture, language and civilization. For centuries, these indigenous, pre-Islamic peoples constituted the great majority of the population of the Islamic lands. Although these populations differed, they were ruled by the same type of laws, based on the shari'a.
This similarity, which includes also regional variations, has created a uniform civilization developed throughout the centuries by all non-Muslim indigenous people, who were vanquished by a jihad-war and governed by shari'a law. It is this civilization which is called dhimmitude. It is characterized by the different strategies developed by each dhimmi group to survive as non-Muslim entity in their Islamized countries. Dhimmitude is not exclusively concerned with Muslim history and civilization. Rather it investigates the history of those non-Muslim peoples conquered and colonized by jihad.
Dhimmitude encompasses the relationship of Muslims and non-Muslims at the theological, social, political and economical levels. It also incorporates the relationship between the numerous ethno-religious dhimmi groups and the type of mentality that they have developed out of their particular historical condition which lasted for centuries, even in some Muslim countries, till today.
Dhimmitude is an entire integrated system, based on Islamic theology. It cannot be judged from the circumstantial position of any one community, at a given time and in a given place. Dhimmitude must be appraised according to its laws and customs, irrespectively of circumstances and political contingencies.
