Well, I want to vote for Thomas Klocek.
Robert Spencer, who runs the web sites Jihad Watch and Dhimmi Watch, in addition to being the author of this book, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (And the Crusades), has on online poll here to choose the American Anti-Dhimmi of the Year.
Not sure if voting is still open, or I'm just not doing it right.
"Dhimmis" are non-Muslims, for the most part Christians or Jews, living in a Muslim ruled country as a semi-protected underclass. For the most part, Dhimmitude was stricken from the legal code of most Muslim countries in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Ayatollah Khomeini and his Islamofascists brought dhimmitude back into play in 1979. Thank you, Jimmy Carter.
Klocek, as regular Marathon Pundit readers know, was the DePaul University professor who was fired by DePaul University after speaking up for Israel in front of some Muslim students on the campus of the Catholic university.
Andy Whitehead of Anti-CAIR was also nominated. He and I have exchanged a few e-mails and he's one heck of a nice guy. He's being sued by CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations, because of some postings on his web site that CAIR found objectionable.
Meanwhile for DePaul, its shameful conduct in the Thomas Klocek affair remains the story that just won't go away.
