If someone refuses to ask forgiveness after you have given them the chance, they they will get punished (like the anti-Semites). You are not supposed to ask forgiveness from them, they are first supposed to repent and ask your forgiveness as part of that. Thus, if Dhimmi Carter would publicly acknowledge his sins (in publishing that book among many others) and ask our forgiveness, then we could grant it to him. If he were to get upset at being called <i>Dhimmi</i> then we are off the hook because it is part of an attempt to explain his sin to him.
