Has anyone seen my tinfoil hat?


Five Feet of Crazy™ takes a page from Steve Janke’s Encyclopedia Brown handbook and uncovers the insidious Islamofascist plan to take over the Western world via their front line shock troops consisting of cab drivers and Kwik-E-Mart night managers.

"Raging Muslim taxi drivers in North American cities"

Phyllis Chesler:
"...as a group, taxi drivers know city routes; convenience stores and gas station owners control the city’s food and gasoline supply. Were even a small group of drivers and shop owners united for an Islamist purpose — we would be vulnerable in these specific ways. Muslim citizens would be as vulnerable as non-Muslims."

I’m not familiar with Dr. Phyllis Chesler, whose bio at the Intellectual Conservative describes her as “an Emerita Professor of Psychology and Women's Studies at City University of New York. She is an author, psychotherapist and an expert courtroom witness”. Let’s read a little further, shall we?

As a New Yorker, I have been driven by very friendly and exceptionally courteous male Muslim taxi drivers from Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt, and Somalia, and once, by an enchanting woman driver from Afhganistan — but I have also held on for dear life as ill-tempered, mentally unbalanced, unbelievably misogynistic male Muslim drivers have indulged in full-blown rage attacks as they careened in traffic.

Of course, I have also experienced similarly bad behavior at the hands of home-grown taxi drivers as well. Maybe long hours, low pay, and No Exit will do it every time.

Nevertheless: Aqsa Parvez’s father Muhammed, who honor-mudered his daughter because she refused to wear an Islamic headscarf, worked as a taxi driver in Mississauga, a suburb of Toronto. Yasir Said, who murdered his two teenage daughters, Amina and Sarah, because they had become too western, was also a taxi driver in Dallas.

Taxi drivers in England have been known to constitute a network in which they spy on and actively return girls and women who are trying to escape being honor murdered. According to a just-released report, UK teachers and police officials are “afraid to take action against so-called honour crimes for fear of being accused of racism.” The Daily Mail notes that, in addition,

Researchers say taxi drivers, police and government workers of Asian origin are returning women to the domestic abuse they want to escape.

Taxi drivers again!

Eeeeeek!!!

Phyllis has quite the imagination where the scary brown people are concerned, doesn’t she? It’s a wonder she can actually find the courage to get in a cab. Such strength! Such valour! Such raving, spittle-flecked, Islamofacists-under-the-bed craziness. She and Five Feet must have soooooooo much to talk about.

She's probably also lying through her spit flecked teeth. Most well-to-do big-city people that have at least a modest amount of income and/or money have cabs that they request on a regular scheduled basis, a "driver" if you will. They cost more and sometimes you have to wait a little bit longer for them or one of their associates to arrive, so unless this bitch is too stupid to arrange for a service like this or she is in too much of a hurry all the time, the likelihood of her story is that it is secondhand or made up bullshit.

There are asshole cabbies in EVERY country. The idea that they are all teaming up to suddenly become some fucked up conspiracy group is another pathetic invention of a victim of Bush Fear Syndrome.

I think they have pills for that now.

Yes, I can appreciate Kathy's concern about how a small demographic can unite to cause a disproportionate amount of inconvenience to a much larger population.

Kind of like how a lone, anti-choice pharmacist in a small town can, all by himself or herself, completely fuck up the family planning choices of the entire population.

I'm betting that parallel never occurred to Kathy. Then again, I'm betting lots of things never occur to Kathy.

Maybe she watched "Fight Club" and thought about all the awesome power of waiters, janitors, and other service workers, ... forgot all about the fact that most all the members of fight clubs were white, ... and, ... or maybe she's just a crazy, racist, joke of a human being.

Meds, stat!

I wonder what happens when 5 feet calls for a taxi and it turns out to be driven by a guy in a turban? What I'd give to be a fly on the dashboard watching the expression on her face during the ride. Eyeballs bulging, teeth grating, veins sticking out etc. Ha!

Chesler is a former feminist who discovered her racism more recently and moved into the conservative camp.

It's a plot. Recent immigrants choose cab-driving to further their own Islamist agenda, happily ignoring their own PhDs and assorted professional degrees...no, wait. Canadian licensing bodies are doing that.

Lucky for us. Think about all those raging Muslim doctors, lawyers and accountants. They could fuck us up bigtime. Taxi-drivers? Maybe not so much.

It's a widely-documented fact that hideous racists like ol' Five-Feet don't distinguish between Sikhs and Muslims.

...and what about all those Christian Lebanese? Are they on her shit list too?

I think we need a scorecard (and maybe a Pantone colour chart) to properly assess the various beige threats we encounter once we leave the house.

Props to Ti-Guy at my place.

"Intellectual Conservative"... isn't that a bit of an oxymoron these days?

LuLu said...

It's a complete oxymoron.

Red Tory said...

What a sorry state of affairs.
