Multicultural Problem: What's Your Favorite Color?

Multiculturalists have plenty of signs to follow
What's a committed multiculturalist to do when you've accumulated so many aggrieved groups and have to judge among whose cause is more important?

I mean, besides hold a Democrat Party fund-raiser.

Mark Steyn reports on an interesting exchange that took place last week. It highlights the problem of 'too many colors in the multicultural rainbow'.

[Australian News reporter Pamela Bone to selective feminist, Germaine Greer, in Melbourne]:

I then asked why it was that Western feminists seemed so reluctant to speak out against things such as honour killings.

Greer: "It's very tricky. I am constantly being asked to go to Darfur to interview rape victims. I can talk to rape victims here. Why should I go to Darfur to talk to rape victims?"

Questioner (me): "Because it's so much worse there."

Greer: "Who says it is?"

Questioner: "I do, because I've been there."

Greer: "Well, it is just very tricky to try to change another culture. We let down the victims of rape here. We haven't got it right in our own courts. What good would it do for me to go over there and try to tell them what to do? I am just part of decadent Western culture and they think we're all going to hell fast and maybe we are all going to hell fast."

Steyn then remarks, "Too "tricky" to speak out against honor killings, and you can't teach an old feminist new tricks."

Multiculturalists have a problem: when all the supposedly put upon groups they champion are seeking preferred treatment--special speech rights and another cut of the government's dole--which one is first among equals?

When you don't have a favorite color, any will do. It works the same way for value systems: once you've rejected the West, any old thing can be best.

A simple solution would be the adherence to a simple creed. Other than "Expedience Rules!"

Something short and sweet and easy to remember. How about

"All men are created equal"?

Of course, this would immediately offend the feminist, lesbian and trans-gendered portion of their audience.

It's also too Western-centric, so that's out.

But clearly, "What's your favorite color?" won't do.

Germanine Greer, in the previous exchange, unknowingly suggests a new rallying cry of multicultural moral equivalence-mongers everywhere. Something to guide them when their way is unclear. How's this?

"It's tricky!"

Islamic Cars To Be Produced

"And it really hugs the turns"

General Motors might have one more thing to worry about in the future: Islamic cars, produced with the motoring Muslim in mind.

More about the "Islamic car", from YahooNews:

Malaysian automaker Proton plans to team up with companies in Iran and Turkey to produce "Islamic cars" for the global market, a news report said Sunday.

Proposed by Iran, the collaboration would include installing features in automobiles such as a compass to determine the direction of Mecca for prayers, and compartments for storing the Quran and headscarves, Proton's Managing Director Syed Zainal Abidin told national news agency Bernama.

What they (Iran) want to do is to call that an Islamic car," he was quoted as saying while on a visit in Iran. "The car will have all the Islamic features and should be meant for export purposes. We will identify a car that we can develop to be produced in Malaysia, Iran or Turkey.

The report details that Proton isn't doing too well financially these days. The company reported a loss of $169 million in the 2007 financial year. In the three months ending June 30, it posted its fifth quarterly loss of $13 million.

It's no wonder; when their cutting-edge idea is the Islamic car.

Holy Ramadan, Mumita!

All the coolest super-heros have their own movies nowadays:Superman, Spiderman, Fantastic Four, Batman, Daredevil, the Hulk and--Mumita? First there was our DBKP's own INFIDEL WARRIOR BABES. Now they get some company in the girl superhero comics department.

SUSAN HOGAN/ALBACH at the Chicago Sun-Times:

Batman has brains, Superman has brawn, but Mumita has a great kick.

She's part of the superhero cast of "The 99," an Islamic-themed comic book that debuts in select U.S. cities today, including Chicago.

"Every child is looking for a superhero," said Firas Ahmad, an editor at Islamica magazine. "When I grew up, the people from my cultural background were always the bad guys in comics."

Already a hit overseas, "The 99" features superheroes from around the globe using their superpowers to battle forces of evil.

Will Mumita go on a jihad? How would a go-round with the Infidel Warrior Babes turn out? What's her secret identity?
