The D word (ain't Decaf)
Over the years, when I have tried to "push the meme" of the D word (Deportation of all Muslims from the West) at Jihad Watch comments -- a major venue, one would think, of "the Counter-Jihad" -- I have experienced either various forms of pushback, or apparently disinterested silence. And, need it be said, the instances of other people pushing the meme have been as dismally few and far between as a good, robust cup of decaf.
What's ironic is that the most common form of pushback I have experienced from the broader Western Mainstream (against which the Counter-Jihad tilts on a daily basis) has been leveled at me by Counter-Jihadists -- indeed, by such lofty Counter-Jihadists as those in the "Rabbit Pack". I've mentioned the "Rabbit Pack" many times before on my old blog, The Hesperado -- as for example this rather pithy summation:
...Jihad Watch comments regulars (the "Rabbit Pack" as I've dubbed them, a lynch-mob-cum-high-school-clique, whose leading member, Angemon (if only because he has been so indefatigably active, like an Energizer Bunny, in pestering & policing those who don't abide by the lockstep rules of the aforementioned Rabbit Pack) -- including gravenimage, Mirren, dumbledoresarmy, Wellington, Western Canadian, PRCS, JayBoo, mortimer, and Philip Jihadski...
And so, what was this pushback to the Deportation meme which I've seen coming from the Rabbit Pack (at least two of its lofty members, Angemon and Philip Jihadski)? Glad you asked, Pepe. It consists of a series of rhetorical questions posed to the proponent of Deportation of all Muslims. A better example of this would be hard to find than from the very figurative pen of Angemon, addressing our old friend, "The Big W", who had recently, in a Jihad Watch comments thread, in his typically hamfisted (but lovable) way, pushed the Deportation meme. Let's take a gander at that little exchange:

How would you go about identifying who’s a muslim and who isn’t? What of native converts? Where would you “deport” them to and under which laws?
Angemon's list of rhetorical questions, by the way, seems to come from roughly the same general template as the one used by his Rabbit Pack buddy, Philip Jihadski (commenting as "Anonymous" on my old blog 3 years ago):
...we have to change our laws FIRST. You cannot simply go out and "round 'em up", because you first must identify them - and to do that, you have to be a mind reader, or institute lie-detector tests on each and every fucking "suspect".
Now - you go ahead and tell us - EXACTLY - how this can be done; tell us EXACTLY how our immigration laws must be changed, then - and only then - will I give you one shred of credibility...basically, because you're an asshole first, and a poor thinker second; finally, I just think you're crazy.
My response to this rhetorical template is, first, weary exasperation that one has to respond at all, especially to others who are supposedly in the Counter-Jihad. Secondly, girding my groin for the umpteenth time, I roll up my shirtsleeves, spit on my palms, take hold of the sledgehammer, and repeat:
How would you go about identifying who’s a muslim and who isn’t?
Answer: The same way we identify who's a Muslim and who isn't now.
What of native converts? Where would you “deport” them to ...
Answer: We would deport native converts to the same general place we deport other Muslims -- the Dar-al-Islam.
...and under which laws?
Answer: Under the same laws we use now to deport natural born citizens who pose a sufficient threat.
