* Muslims often brag that they are 1.5 billion strong and keep threatening that they will all come charging out like mad dogs (to fight us over cartoons for example) . There are no more than 15 million Jews in the world who are not threatening anybody, but they have achieved more and done more for humanity than the combined 1.5 billion ummah-members from Jakarta to Timbuktu.
And yet, when it suits them, Muslim pretend to be Jews. That’s just not on. But the propaganda is getting dirtier:
“The fury of the new enemies of Islam is similar to the older rage of anti-Semites against the Jews”
No it isn’t. The Jews didn’t attack the United States in the name of their religion. They didn’t carry out terror attacks all over the world and justify them with reference to their religious texts. They didn’t announce their intention to take over Europe and the United States.
“‘Islamophobia’ or ‘Truthophobia’?,” by Matthias Küntzel in the Wall Street Journal Europe, (thanks to DW):
At a time when Jew haters in the Islamic world have become more assertive than ever, Berlin’s Center for Research on Anti-Semitism is concentrating on a different group: the “new enemies of Islam.”
The new Jooozzz? Not!
* Europe’s Jewish Problem:
In Spain, unfavorable views of Jews climbed from 21 percent in 2005 to nearly one in two this year. Amazing how the growth of anti-Semitism corresponds to the growth of islam in Europe:
Nah! Couldn’t be a connection there…
Who exactly belongs to this category is not clear from the center’s latest publication, the “Yearbook for Research on Anti-Semitism.” But the potential danger is supposedly known: “The fury of the new enemies of Islam is similar to the older rage of anti-Semites against the Jews,” writes Prof. Wolfgang Benz, the institute’s director. The center will present its new findings today at a conference in Berlin titled “Concepts of the Muslim Enemy — Concepts of the Jewish Enemy.”
It is certainly necessary to oppose the demonization of Muslims and discrimination against them, which often have racist motivations. The Berlin center, whose research covers prejudices in general, is right to address this issue. The problem lies in the way it is being done.
The Berlin center adopts the neologism “Islamophobia” without any reservation. This term is misleading because it mixes two different phenomena — unjust hatred against Muslims and necessary criticism of political Islam — and condemns both equally.
By accepting this vocabulary, the Berlin center reinforces an unfortunate trend. In May 2005, the Council of Europe — at the urging of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan — used the term for the first time, condemning “all forms of intolerance . . . including anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.”
Yet this statement did not go far enough for the Muslim Council of Britain. “The fact is that Islamophobia has replaced anti-Semitism,” explained Abduljalil Sajid, an imam and leading member of the Muslim Council, a month later at a conference of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe in Cordoba, Spain. He described as Islamophobic such statements as “Long live Israel!” and “Muslim fundamentalism is dangerous.” Meanwhile, various documents by the Organization of the Islamic Conference and the United Nations have condemned Islamophobia as today’s most important and worst form of prejudice….

Repeat after me:
“islamophobia is BS”
“islamophobia is BS”
“islamophobia is BS”
There simply is NO such thing in this world. On the other hand, Infidelophobia, a phenomenon which has killed and enslaved millions is a term we never here of. Shame on the media for hawking a mythical term while ignoring a real one.
