| H/T Instapundit The money quote. ...As Shepherd explains in his chapter on Islam in Europe, this is a European-wide phenomenon that is directly related to the fear of criticizing Muslims. Anti-Zionism is the key extremist discourse by which jihadis radicalize communities and mobilize warriors for Allah’s armies. The disturbing figures for how many British Muslims support terror, think Muslims did not commit either 9-11 or 7-7, think the law should punish people who insult Islam, and think that apostates from Islam should die should not be read the way we read political polls in the West. These minorities are the dominant voices in their communities, if only because they use their terror tactics against fellow Muslims far more readily than against outsiders. So while their enemies advance, the British elites are like deer in the headlights, incapable of speaking up for even their own principles of free speech and tolerance. Intimidated into silence about Muslims, somehow, they find their voice in denouncing the “real” genocidal evil empire: Israel. |

| #2 Jews aren't saints. While I have found Muslim attitudes towards Jews to be, bye and large, disgustingly racist, in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney the Jews are quite capable of making enemies without the help of the whole Israel-Palestine circus. For one, culturally, they seem to have a bit of a superiority complex. They will introduce themselves to you by saying: "Hello, I'm Daniel, I'm Jewish bye the way." As if it makes a jot of difference. Why do I care if you are jewish? I don't introduce myself by saying: "Hello, I'm Anon1, and I'm agnostic from a Church-of-England background." Who the hell cares? Secondly, my last boyfriend was an Eastern Suburbs Jew. Thought he was lovely: kind, smart, funny. Three weeks of bliss, until he suddenly turned on me. Dumped me like a piece of dirt and never spoke to me again. No argument, no obvious reason, we were getting on fine... other than that his mother didn't want a non-Jewish girlfriend moving in on her only son. Once she found out... i was out the door. And Israel only has itself to blame for being the perpetual victim. I'm fast losing sympathy for that nation. They should grow a pair, set their borders, build their fence then kick all the arab muslims out to the other side of the border. And take back Gaza while they area at it. just build that goddam wall and make a decent straight and simple border. Do it by force and do not care what the rest of the world says. Kick the muslims out, give them US$20,000 each for compensation and let that be the end of it. |

| #1 As many people have said, Jews are the canary in the coal mine of civil liberties and protection. Even if you feel nothing for the injustice done to the Jews, you should realize that there is a long list of groups to oppress after the Jews have gone. You may be part of one. |
