The Sharia Bake Sale.

Waking up the university students:

Before getting a crack at the brownies, potential customers are quizzed about their religious beliefs. Inquiries about matters of conscience may offend hungry passers-by who take for granted the freedoms enshrined in Western constitutions — and this is precisely the point. Such objections afford an opportunity to explain that in nations governed by sharia, the personal is political and one’s faith is the chief determinant of social status.

To this end, those who wish to play along are divided according to religion. Muslims — actually, Muslim men — are sold brownies at the price of one dollar each. Christians and Jews, so-called “People of the Book,” are instructed to line up at a small, adjoining table and wait. All others are declined service, with organizers citing limited supplies. These provisions mimic sharia’s treatment of dhimmis, the term for Christians and Jews who are granted official protection under Islamic law but enjoy far fewer rights than their Muslim neighbors. Other non-Muslims enjoy fewer still.

Expanding on this theme, people on the dhimmi line are charged two dollars for their treats. The added fee represents the jizya, the tax imposed on non-Muslims in conformity with Koran 9:29 and Sahih Muslim 19:4294. These customers also receive poor service and smaller-than-average portions, thereby satisfying the Koranic requirement that they “feel themselves subdued.”

Finally, brownies are sold to Muslim women at a cost of three dollars, a nod to the institutionalized oppression that Phyllis Chesler has aptly labeled “gender apartheid.”
