Sammenhold for Denmark, Scorn for Sitzpinklers!
The threats of violence and an on-going economic boycott against the Danes for, how shall we say this, exercising their freedom of speech and refusing to kiss censorious Mullah ass have motivated some in the online community to call for a rally at the Danish embassy. The Captain has the scoop.
Sammenhold is Danish for "solidarity", a quality that the Danes could stand to see from the West at this time. [Christopher] Hitchens wants to stage a rally outside the Danish embassy to show support for our friends in their time of need -- something the mainstream press has yet failed to do. That's why C[aptain's] Q[uarters] is also offering a vocabulary lesson today, or at least a re-run of a lesson that first appeared in August 2004 and got some attention yesterday at The Corner. That's when we discovered the delightful German word sitzpinkler:
Apparently, the Germans have a word for men who can't stand up for themselves, both literally and figuratively. It's 'sitzpinkler', which means both one who sits when urinating and wimp.
Try using these new words in a sentence, such as: "The American media consists of sitzpinklers who cannot summon the sammenhold to publish the Prophet cartoons in defense of the free speech they espouse."
Y'know, the thought occurs to me that the American media would be less sensitive to the threats of the terrorists if the bomb-throwing, throat-slitting brigands were Bush supporters.
Taking the lunacy to new heights, Michelle Malkin notes the ever-growing demands from Muslims that we live our lives according to their dictates.
Let's review.
Depictions of Mohammed are not allowed.
Depictions of ordinary human beings and animals are not allowed.
Depictions of mosques are not allowed.And now, depictions poking fun on the prohibition of depictions are not allowed, either...
This is the cartoon that has caused yet more outrage in the Muslim world:
Apparently, humor is a Western vice.

Continuous video footage of Nick Berg's head being sawed off raised few eyebrows in Muslim lands, while a few Danish cartoons rile them to murder.
Western societies need to seriously rethink their immigration policies.
