Or rather Multi-Cultural Political Correctness that is. We all know that PC is simply some vague form of societal censorship, being used mostly by post-Christian, post-Western forces to silence debate and shut down dialogue. Multi-Culturalism is, of course, it’s greatest ally. Born from the noble desire to impress upon American and European children the contributions of other cultures (while not realizing that the West had always, as it continues to, filtered these contributions through the latest biases of Western academia), the point was to look at other cultures and civilizations from a completely detached point of view. Who were we to judge the Chinese, Aztecs, Polynesians or any other people? Whatever they did was to be studied, not condemned. Of course we could condemn the hell out of anything in Western History till the cows come home. A popular tendency embraced by many cultures and nations around the world.

And that has brought about such things as this story, in which Austrian Turks are outraged that a Lego set based on Jabba the Hutt’s palace from the Star Wars franchise bears even a minor resemblance to the Hagia Sophia. Not that it is the only building in the world with a dome, but I guess it’s too close for comfort. A reader over at CAEI catches the hypocritical irony: how many of those same Turks are outraged at just why it’s one of the most famous mosques in the world, as opposed to one of the most famous Christian churches? That this is missed by the Telegraph shows the utter spinelessness of the post-Christian West to call out anyone but our own forebears.

So much alike, who can tell? Obviously proof of Lego’s deep seated Islamaphobia
