What is Courage?

Last week the Detroit News ran another piece of Jew-hating idiocy from Imam Elahi of the Islamic House of "Wisdom". (Yes, I added the scare quotes. H)

If the Israelis want to live in that neighborhood in peace and security, they better humble themselves and make some courageous changes in the Zionist political culture

When it comes to Jews being courageous, Imam Elahi is referring to the self-loathing variety, the deluded ones who think they can be "one of the guys" if they attack Israel viciously enough, the appeasers who are willing to give up their freedom and return to dhimmitude in return for their pitiful lives. To Elahi, a courageous Jew is one that the rest of us would refer to as a useful idiot.

Would Imam Elahi consider Wafa Sultan courageous? She stood up to Islamic fascism in public, on TV yet! You don't get much braver than that, unless you are Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who lives under a death threat for what she's said against Islamic fascism. They speak in the name of freedom, unlike Imam Elahi who speaks in the name of Islamic supremacism. And like the rest of his ilk, he will lie while swearing to be telling the truth, especially if he can make Israel and the Jews look bad by doing so.

Finally, for exceptional bravery while living under Islam, I would like to present Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury. A Muslim, living in Bangadesh, Mr. Choudhury dares to suggest that there should be peace with Israel and the Jewish people. As reported by Debbie Schussel quoting from the Jeruselem Post,

A Bangladeshi Muslim journalist arrested in the past for advocating ties with Israel now faces charges of sedition, a crime punishable by death in Bangladesh, and will likely be put on trial by the end of the month, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury: Courageous Muslim Under Repeated Attack

In a court session on Tuesday in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, a state-appointed judge ruled that the government's case against Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury could proceed to trial and that the hearings would commence within 15 days.

As editor of The Weekly Blitz, an English-language newspaper published in Dhaka, Choudhury aroused the ire of Bangladeshi authorities after he printed articles favorable to Israel and critical of Muslim extremism.

Bangladesh does not recognize Israel's existence and refuses to establish diplomatic relations with the Jewish state.

There is, of course, more. As much as Imam Elahi pretends to want peace with the Jews, I'm sure he'd look at Choudhury as a traitor to Islam. He wouldn't admit it in English though.

Courage in Elahi's mind is Jews surrendering to the Ummah. Real courage in battling the scourge of the expanding Ummah is ignored.
