From The Gathering Storm
Would you believe it? Some actual anti-dhimmitude in Islamic Malaysia of all places.
“Islam is not about turban and beard”, said the Federal Court in dismissing the appeal of three pupils who were expelled from school for refusing to take off their 'serban' nine years ago. The panel of three judges led by Court of Appeal President Tan Sri Abdul Malek Ahmad was unanimous in their decision that not everything that Prophet Muhammad did or the way he did it is legally or religiously binding on Muslims, or even preferable and should be followed.
The judge's logic was impeccable and should be applied to the Dhimmi behavior of those in Europe who cow tow to every Muslim demand.
"As far as I can ascertain, the Al-Quran makes no mention about the wearing of turban. I accept that the Prophet wore a turban. But he also rode a camel, built his house and mosque with clay walls and roof of leaves of date palms and brushed his teeth with the twig of a plant. "Does that make riding a camel a more pious deed than traveling in an aeroplane? Is it preferable to build houses and mosques using the same materials used by the Prophet and the same architecture adopted by him during his time?" said Abdul Hamid in the judgment delivered by Federal Court deputy registrar Kamaruddin Kamsun.
Right on! These are great arguments against Islamists who want to impose 13th century values upon a 21st century civilization. We need more anti-dhimmi judges in the West like Ahmad.

I'm still wondering what will happen to the 100,000 recent apostates there. That was interesting!
Actually, I'd have to disagree with the ruling. They still cite the Qaran as a source of law, which makes them as complicit as any other Islamists. There can be doctrinal debates within Islam, but we can't and shouldn't ask anyone to change their religion to meet our policy goals (much less foreign policy.) We can however tell them to keep their religion entirely out of the law, and that's the tack we should be taking.
