Embracing its dhimmitude, BBC bans “dhimmi”

At the world news website of the British Broadcasting Company, you cannot submit a comment to a news article—they call it the ‘Have Your Say’ section—with the word ‘dhimmi’ in it. It is automatically censored. Because ‘dhimmi’ is offensive to Islam, because Islam assigns dhimmi status to non-Muslims, and therefore dhimmi is a component of Islam and under the corpus of sharia promulgated in accordance with the assignation of ‘dhimmi’ and under which the dhimmis are governed, one may not criticize the religion of Islam, nor any aspect of it, including dhimmitude, which is part of Islam, and therefore the use of that word may not be permitted by dhimmis, because that would be offensive. So ‘dhimmi’ is censored and the word does not exist but you are one and you are governed by sharia because you are one but you are not because dhimmi does not exist but it does.

But do have your say. So long as you remember that Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

UPDATE: I have just checked, and the comment, “Is the word dhimmi truly censored?” was rejected because “Sorry Your message appears to contain offensive language. Please remove any offensive words from it.”
