Dhim·mi
(dîm-mî
or zîm-mî) - An Islamic term that refers to a subjugated non-Muslim
person living in a Muslim society. Second-class status is confirmed by the
legal system and dhimmis do not share the rights of their Muslim rulers.
Dhim·wit (dïm-wît)
- A non-Muslim member of a free society who unwittingly abets the stated cause of Islamic
domination. 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.
August 2009 Dhimwit:
Kenny MacAskill
What is a human life worth in Scotland these days?
About a week and a half.
Kenny
MacAskill is the Scottish Minister of Justice, which is quite a
misnomer given that his claim to fame will forever be the denial of such to the
victims of the Pan Am 103 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland.
In 1988,
Libyan terrorists murdered 270 innocent airline passengers and crew. It
goes without saying that the victims never had an opportunity to say goodbye to
their families, much less live out their final days peacefully surrounded by
their loved ones. Yet, that is now the destiny of both men thought to be
responsible for the horror of twenty-one years ago.
As if it
weren't bad enough that both bombers eluded a trial for the first eleven years
after their crime, or that one of them was actually acquitted by Scottish judges
and the other sentenced to only 20 years in prison, the final insult came in
August with the unexpected release of the convicted, yet unremorseful terrorist
after only 8.5 years - on compassionate grounds!
Compassion? Isn't that usually reserved for the victims of a crime?
And, at 270 in this case, it's not like there aren't enough victims to go
around. Shouldn't sensitivity to their families be first priority?
Well,
apparently not. They do things differently over in Scotland,
particularly when there is a lot of
oil money involved (which is damned near the only way this moral lapse makes
sense).
Surely
there are a lot of dirty fingers in this one, and we'll leave it to others to
dredge up the details. What we do know is that the man who ultimately made
the decision to release al-Megrahi after only 11.5 days for each body is Kenny
MacAskill - and he has been vigorously defending it since.
And,
although we don't know for sure, we think it is an entirely safe bet that Mr.
MacAskill suffered no personal loss with the downing of Pan Am 103.
A Muslim terrorist says
goodbye to his family.
The families of his Christian
victims? Not so lucky.
