An American Expat in Southeast Asia

Submission to Extremism

Imagine my surprise when I accessed Heineken's website from Malaysia and was greeted with the following message.

"To enter the Heineken.com website you must be non-Muslim and at least the legal drinking age of 18 years. Please select YES or NO to confirm your age."

As innocuous sounding as that might be to those in Holland and around the world who have found themselves blinded in an 'orgy of multiculturalism' and tolerance. It would appear to be in direct violation and contradiction to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

"Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights - Article 2

Could it be that our friends at Heineken were unfamilar with the universal declaration of human rights? Doubtful. What we have is clearly a submission to extremism. But Holland can tell us all about Submission now can't they?

Holland now is learning the hard way once again that appeasement only acts to embolden those who wish to strip away our freedoms. Lets hope its not too late for Holland and Europe to take a stand.

In closing, lets also hope that Heineken has the courage and resolution to do the right thing, by removing the message on their website and become a beacon of corporate and social responsibilty in the dark days ahead.
