Upon her return to the UK, Gillian Gibbons will be accorded celebrity status. It is scripted: there will be interviews both by tabloids and on TV, and there will inevitably be a book contract. She will enjoy her moment of fame.
And, she will follow the by now all-too-predictable multicultural meme: she will express affection for and tolerance of the savages who jerked the west around yet again, and use her pardon for the crime of “religious insensitivity” as an example of reason and negotiation over force.
Of course, the sequel to this is that Westerners will be just that much more careful about what they say, lest they offend one or two overly sensitive Muslims who can stir the pot and make them targets of enraged mobs.
Which, of course, was probably the point of the entire exercise.
One author of children’s books, books intended to celebrate the multicultural virtue of diversity, has already renamed “Mohammad the Mole” to “Morgan the Mole.” Perhaps he should add a character: he might call it “Dhimmi the Multicultural Duck”.
The issue isn’t how many enlightened, kind and gentle Muslims there are, but the power wielded by the few who are not so enlightened, kind and gentle.
