CREEPING DHIMMITUDE

Creeping Dhimmitude
Here is another example of Muslim Creeping Dhimmitude. It goes hand in hand with the taxi drivers refusing service to patrons carrying alcohol or using guide dogs. These actions are part of an orchastrated effort to impose Sharia law on the USA rather than being honest expressions of religious tenets.

The only way dhimmitude can be imposed is for non Muslims to accept these outrageous demands. By making these seemingly minor demands over and over, they are desensitizing the non Muslim population. Some people believe that if they only give them this “one little thing” then they’ll stop with the demands. Unfortunately, giving in to such demands only encourages more and greater accommodation. This is the strategy of creeping dhimmitude.

Some Muslim cashiers refuse to handle pork products

MINNEAPOLIS - Beryl Dsouza was late and in no mood for delays when she stopped at a Target store after work two weeks ago for milk, bread and bacon.
So Dsouza was taken aback when the cashier - who had on the traditional headscarf, or hijab, worn by many Muslim women - refused to swipe the bacon through the checkout scanner.
"She made me scan the bacon. Then she opened the bag and made me put it in the bag," said Dsouza, 53, of Minneapolis. "It made me wonder why this person took a job as a cashier."
In the latest example of religious beliefs creating tension in the workplace, some Muslims in the Twin Cities are adhering to a strict interpretation of the Quran that prohibits the handling of pork products.
Instead of swiping the items themselves, they are asking non-Muslim employees or shoppers to do it for them.
It has set off a firestorm of comments - more than 400, as of Tuesday evening - on the Star Tribune's community blog, www.buzz.mn. People called the newspaper from as far as Tokyo to voice their opinion.
It remains unclear how many Muslim cashiers in the Twin Cities are declining to ring up pork sales.
The Twin Cities area has become a hotbed for such conflicts because of its burgeoning population of Somali immigrants, many of whom are orthodox Muslims. Last year, Somali cabdrivers at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport attracted national attention when some refused to carry passengers toting alcohol.
