Dhimwit of the Month Honors
IT is also time for the Reigion of Peace’s Dhimwit of the Month Honors also. And this months winner is Sally Lopez.
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. (ex. of use: “Hey Jimmy, if you want to be a dhimmi, then you’d better learn how to shimmy.”)
Dhim·wit (dïm-wît) - A non-Muslim member of a free society that abets the stated cause of Islamic domination with remarkable gullibility. 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.
September 2008 Dhimwit: Ms. Sally Lopez
Sally Lopez survives her brush with reality.
Our dhimwit nominees are usually chosen from the ranks of misguided government officials or public celebrities. Occasionally, however, an “ordinary” person comes along who just can’t be ignored. This month, Sally Lopez of Lemoyne, Pennsylvania is that individual - and we’re pretty sure that she will appreciate the attention.
Here’s a question, let’s say that you get something through the mail with which you disagree… a political advertisement or commercial propaganda, for example. What would you do next?
Well, most truly “ordinary” people would simply throw it away and forget about it. A few might actually write the sender to have themselves taken off the mailing list or perhaps send back their own opinion in less-than-tactful fashion.
But it takes a special kind of person (or at least someone who thinks they are special) to call up the local newspaper and request a photographer. And this is exactly what Ms. Sally Lopez did when she found a copy of the anti-Jihad DVD, Obsession: Radical Islam’s War against the West, in her mailbox. According to the Patriot News article:
Lopez said she was offended by the DVD…. “My thing is, I’m not stupid. There are definitely radical Islamic cells all over the world, but we also have the Aryan Nation, the [Ku Klux Klan], all kinds of hate groups out there. They’re just instilling fear in us. I’m tired of living in fear.”
The poor dear is offended that someone is trying to warn her about Islam and its merry band of sociopaths. Why? Well, the reasoning is a bit sketchy. It seems that there are other hate groups out there as well, so there’s no point in hearing about the only one that happens to be piling up dead bodies by the hour…
At this point, it’s probably understandable why Ms. Lopez felt it necessary to tell us that she isn’t stupid. She may very well be the sort of woman who skips regular breast examinations because there are “all kinds” of other things that can kill you. (But don’t call her stupid).
Our guess is that she did not watch the DVD and knows little about it outside of the title and description For one thing, Obsession is a wonderful documentary that justifies itself. Then there’s the small matter of the fact that the envelope (which appears unopened in the picture) wasn’t really addressed to her.
Did we forget to mention that? Yes, actually the DVD was mailed to her daughter’s husband, who isn’t even living in the house. Ms. Lopez is apparently every man’s nightmare - the mother-in-law who makes the business of others her own and doesn’t seem to care if the world knows it.
Of course, it isn’t the content of the DVD that upsets this woman, despite her contrived indignation. Like other sanctimonious types, Ms. Lopez is simply anxious that others understand what a tolerant and generous soul she is, so willing to accept people of other religions and defend them from offense. (Perhaps her son-in-law should consider converting).
At the end of the day, our nomination of Sally Lopez is really more of an indictment of the many people in the West who are too consumed by self-righteousness to pay attention to what the Qur’an says about them and their way of life. For now, they can afford this state of blissful ignorance…
Their children probably won’t have the luxury.
