I highly recommend this book:
Dhimmi - Jews and Christians Under Islam
The subjugation of non-Muslims to second class citizenship in their own country is part and parcel of sharia, Islamic law. Muslims feel ”oppressed” when they can’t fully practice their religious laws in the West. But since these laws ultimately require the subjugation of non-Muslims, “freedom of religion” for Muslims essentially means the freedom to make others unfree.

Dhimminitude
Check out Dhimmi Watch which is a very good blog about useful idiots of Islamo-Fascism. This is where I found a good definition of dhimmitude.
- Dhimmitude is the status that Islamic law, the Sharia, mandates for non-Muslims, primarily Jews and Christians. Dhimmis, "protected people," are free to practice their religion in a Sharia regime, but are made subject to a number of humiliating regulations designed to enforce the Qur'an's command that they "feel themselves subdued" (Sura 9:29). This denial of equality of rights and dignity remains part of the Sharia, and, as such, is part of the law that global jihadists are laboring to impose everywhere, ultimately on the entire human race.
The dhimmi attitude of chastened subservience has entered into Western academic study of Islam, and from there into journalism, textbooks, and the popular discourse. One must not point out the depredations of jihad and dhimmitude; to do so would offend the multiculturalist ethos that prevails everywhere today.
But in this era of global terrorism this silence and distortion has become deadly.
800 Hornby Street
On Monday, 2 June 2008, there is to be a free speech demonstration at the B.C. Provincial Court, 800 Hornby Street, Vancouver. A crowd should start to assemble at 08:00 for the start of the Macleans Magazine show trial featuring Mark Steyn versus the Sock Puppets.
I would compare the British Columbia Human Rights Commission to the Spanish Inquisition but that would be unfair - to the Inquisition.
I will be posting some photos and maybe some video so stay tuned.
