In 2012 in Pakistan, as Christian children were singing carols inside their church, Muslim men from a nearby mosque barged in with an axe, destroyed the furniture, desecrated the altar, and beat the children. Their justification for such violence? "You are disturbing our prayers…. How dare you use the mike and speakers?"
Welcome to the true face of "Muslim grievance"-what I call the "how dare you?!" phenomenon. Remember it next time "progressive" media and politicians tell you that Muslim terrorism-whether the 9/11 strikes, Fort Hood Massacre, Boston Bombing, or recent London Beheading-are products of grievances against the West. Missing from their analyses is the supremacist nature of Muslim grievances.
The Conditions of Omar, a foundational medieval Muslim text, mandates this sense of superiority over non-Muslims.
Among other stipulations, the Conditions commands conquered Christians not to raise their "voices during prayer or readings in churches anywhere near Muslims" (hence the axe-attack in Pakistan). It also commands them not to display any signs of Christianity-specifically Bibles and crosses-not to build churches, and not to criticize the prophet.
If the supremacist nature of Islamic law is still not clear enough, the Conditions literally command Christians to give up their seats to Muslims on demand.
For example, in 2007 in Turkey, a publishing house distributing Bibles was stormed and three of its Christian employees tortured, disemboweled, and finally murdered. One suspect later said: "We didn't do this for ourselves, but for our religion [Islam]…. Our religion is being destroyed."
Similarly, in 2011 in Egypt, after a 17-year-old Christian student refused to obey his Muslim teacher's orders to cover up his cross, the teacher and some Muslim students attacked, beat, and ultimately murdered the Christian teenage..."
