Bridges. Build. Greater. To. Understanding.

"More bridges need to be built to Islam."--- from a reader

Build those bridges. Every Infidel a pontifex maximus, a relentless roebling, building building building those bridges.

Muslims feel "isolated." Muslims feel "unwanted." Muslims feel "unloved." That's why they do what they do in southern Thailand, and the southern Philippines. That's why they decapitate Christian schoolgirls in Indonesia, attack Christan churches in Alexandria, or Baghdad, kill Hindus in Bangladesh and drive millions of them out, why the Taliban, those hyper-Muslims, forced Hindus in Afghanistan to wear yellow identifying robes, why they felt compelled to blow up the Bamiyan Buddhas, or destroy churches in Gaza, or drive even "Palestinian" Christians out of Bethlehem. It's why death threats were made against Danish tourists, unless and until the editors of Jyllands-Posten were punished for daring to publish a handful of anodyne cartoons. That's why bombs went off in Atocha Station in Madrid, on the Underground in London, why a Moscow theatre was seized, why Pim Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh were murdered.

"Not integrated." "Unwanted." "Unloved." Prove, Infidels, the contrary. Do everything you can to integrate those Muslims. Lavish every possible program on them -- language, culture, all the things that no other group of immigrants appears to need, lest members of that group start hating those among whom they live. Provide every conceivable benefit: education, health care, subsidized housing, all far beyond what those hundreds of thousands, say, of Somalis now living in this country could ever have dreamed of at home, living in Muslim Misrule, Muslim Malgoverno. Pile it on. Dedicate, re-dedicate those mosques. Do whatever it takes. Don't say a word against Islam, don't even hint at it. Always and everywhere denounce those who beg to point out this or that disturbing feature of Islam. Shout them down. Censor their websites. Banish those "hate-mongers" to the outer darkness.

Keep it up.

The point has been explained. Decomposition, requiring the reader to participate to arrange the word-magnets on the refrigerator so that, once rearranged, they offer up the phrase on tap which, however, was not, in this case, on tap.

As Armand Hammer, a man who could have sold refrigerators to Siberians, might have asked, could you arrange to have Xenia Onatopp on tap? 
Speaking of  Sean Connery movies and remembering the demise of his character in The Man Who Would Be King, couldn't we make the Bridge Over The River Taqiyya into The Bridge of Scythes?
And yes, Gentle Reader, I'm tipsy - Tipsy Russell, author of Principia Moronica.
