The word “Dhimmitude” is of fairly recent origin as brought forth from the pen of Muslim scholar Bat Ye’or. Bat Ye’or took the Arabic word Dhimmi, which means “Non-Muslim” and slammed it together with the suffix “tude” from “servitude” to give us Dhimmitude. Its meaning thus is the permanent state or condition of subjection of Non-Muslims (particularly Jews and Christians) living under Muslim rule. Living under dhimmitude requires the dhimmis to either accept their status of second class citizens or failing that face forced conversion, enslavement, or death.
Naturally enough, those living under dhimmitude live in both fear and silence. The live in fear that they might somehow hit the tripwire of insufficient subjection to their Muslim lord and they live in silence because silence is the best way to insure that one doesn’t hit that trip wire of insufficient subjection. Obviously, living in such a manner in such a culture brings it with the prohibition to criticize the culture, manners, or customs of the Islamic culture.
The idea of dhimmitude is not unique to Muslim cultures. Anybody who has read about life behind the Iron Curtain during the reign of the Communists knows that those who lived in Eastern Europe and Russia during the Cold War were also kept under Marxist dhimmitude.
Once dhimmitude is established generationally it is hard to even notice the servitude that one is living under. One becomes so conditioned to the status of second class citizen one just owns it as a way of life. The minds of people who have lived generationally in dhimmitude have the minds of dhimmis and begin to find it to be a natural condition. In other words, they dhimmis don’t even see their dhimmi-ness.
I submit that something like this has happened in the West. Of course it is not that we are living under the servitude of Islam. (Though you might disagree with me on that if you live in Dearborn, Minneapolis, Columbus, or Lewiston/Auburn Me.) The dhimmitude that the West has been living under and is now living under I submit is the ruling and reigning religion of Cultural Marxism. Cultural Marxism might be slapped with different titles. People might call it “political correctness,” or they might call it “Critical Theory,” or they might call it “WOKE,” or they might call it “Multiculturalism” but whatever one calls it, it is clear that we are living under the shadow of this Muslim like dominance. This dominance has folks silencing themselves for fear of being completely ruined.
And well people should have this dhimmi like fear. As someone who decided not to follow the multicultural dhimmi code years ago, I myself know what it is like to have the dhimmi clergy and dhimmi police bring charges against me for infractions against the multicultural dhimmi code. More than that I have seen people leave churches for fear of being associated with someone else in the local congregation of a putatively Christian church who refused to accept his or her dhimmi status.
We Westerners right now are living as dhimmis under dhimmitude. We have learned, whether originally from our time in the classroom, or later during our time in the local Christian church to censor and silence ourselves when it comes to the prevailing maxims of the ruling multiculturalism that we are now living under. Indeed, it may be the case that the only religion that is more totalistic than Islam is the religion of multiculturalism. Indeed multiculturalism is so totalistic, with its central faith demand of tolerance that it refuses to allow the dhimmis to be intolerant of any other and all other religions.
It is our multicultural dhimmitude with its central plank of tolerance that finds us unable to criticize both Zionism and Islam, despite the desperate need for each of these to be criticized harshly. As dhimmis we dare not speak the truth about Zionism and/or Islam because to do so threatens the very fabric of the worldview that now controls the West. One has to understand that to criticize Zionism, Secular Judaism and/or Islam is to, at the same exact moment, to criticize multiculturalism since multiculturalism rises and falls with the ability to be tolerant of all other religions. Any criticism of any religion except Christianity is a criticism of the religion that is ruling us as dhimmis, and that can not be allowed.
Now some might wonder why it is that Christianity is a faith that multiculturalism allows to be criticized by us dhimmis. The reason for that is that Christianity is the only religion that doesn’t have a dog in this fight. It is the Jews who created multiculturalism and so obviously they desire to keep it going as the reigning faith, and it is Muslims that the Jews are using as a hammer to keep the Christian faith down. As such the current multiculturalism, oddly enough, serves the ends of both the Mooselimbs and the Bagels while at the same time keeping the Christian dhimmis down. Also, one has to take into consideration that the cultural gatekeepers who keep Christians in dhimmitude status understand that Biblical Christianity alone has the ability to completely throw off the shackles of dhimmitude. As such any biblical Christian who rises to challenge his or her dhimmitude status is going to be met with all the fury that multicultural gatekeepers can find.
Now, earlier I mentioned Talmudism, Zionism, and Islam as the enforcers of Multiculturalism. We should also include among these three Christian Zionism and Christian Marxism. Right now, one of the greatest enforcers of keeping us in dhimmitude is the conservative Christian denominations. They have reinterpreted Christianity through the lens of dhimmitude and have yielded up a form of Christianity that is compliant with multicultural dhimmitude. That this is the case is seen by the repeated statements put out by the “conservative” denominations over the past decade or so. Just this last summer it was done again by the PCA, ARP, and RPCNA. However, in doing so, they merely are keeping lockstep with previous statements by previous denominations. Such behavior is reflective of the fact that they themselves understand their own dhimmi status and it is reflective of the fact that they want to be enforcers of multicultural dhimmitude along with the Talmudists, Zionists, and Islamists.
We see the modern Reformed church filling this role at every turn. Within the next month, for example, the Reformed church will seek to discipline Rev. Sam Ketcham for daring to rise up to throw off multicultural dhimmitude. Rev. Ketcham is not facing the death penalty as violators of dhimmitude in Islamic countries might if they had been caught violating Islam. Instead Rev. Ketcham faces being defrocked by the ministers of dhimmi in the Reformed church. Such is the way that all those who refuse their dhimmi status are to be treated.
One has to understand that the maintenance of this totalistic religion of multiculturalism has to be maintained at all cost. If the cost is a man’s reputation and good name that is a cost that must and will be paid. If the cost to maintain complete tolerance as required by multiculturalism is the intolerant religions of Islam, Talmudism, and Zionism being set free to build Mosques, to implement Sharia law, to continue to give a pass to the ruinous presence of AIPAC, the ADL, and the SPLC, then that cost will be paid. Multiculturalism requires it and Biblical Christians will learn their dhimmi status or else.
It ought to be clear then from the above that the institutional conservative evangelical/Reformed Church in the West is no longer the friend of Biblical Christians. These denominations and clergy are themselves high Priests of multiculturalism and enforcers of WOKE. That was pretty clear at the recent AMFEST where the great high priest of multiculturalism for Christians, Doug Wilson, stepped forward to speak to the necessity to remain tolerant of Zionist conspiracies.
This is where we are at in this moment. We either return to Biblical Christianity with its proper intolerance for antiChrist religions or we continue to live as dhimmis in the service of the state religion of multiculturalism. There is only one cure for where we are at right now and that cure is courage. People have to resolve that they are no longer going to live as dhimmis under the reign of multiculturalism with its tolerance for every religion under the sun except for a muscular Biblical Christianity. People have to resolve to bear any burden and to pay any price to be delivered from this antiChrist totalitarianism that we are currently living under as dhimmis.
