Rousing Muslim bigotry
JEFF JACOBY
By Jeff Jacoby, 10/23/2003
FOR MONTHS following the atrocities of 9/11, US officials from President
Bush on down repeatedly declared that Islam is a religion of peace and that no
American should think ill of Muslims or their religion because of the terrorist
attacks. In fact, Bush said, any Americans who would lash out at Muslims or
attempt to intimidate them "represent the worst of humankind, and they should be
ashamed of that kind of behavior."
The president had occasion to
return to the subject of religious bigotry this week, but it was Muslim hatred
-- not hatred of Muslims -- that decency rrrrequired him to condemn. At a
gathering in Thailand, Bush made a point of telling Malaysia's Prime Minister
Mahathir Mohamad that he had been "wrong and divisive" when he uncorked a toxic
rant against the world's Jews last week.
Bush's conversations with foreign leaders are not usually publicized, but
this time the White House spokesman related the president's words: "It stands
squarely against what I believe in."
Mahathir delivered his diatribe at an Islamic summit meeting on Oct. 16.
His theme was the anti-Semite's timeless plaint: The Jews are few but crafty,
and the world is in their grip.
"The Europeans killed 6 million Jews out of 12 million, but today the Jews
rule the world by proxy," Mahathir told the leaders of 57 Muslim nations. "They
get others to fight and die for them." He lamented that Jews are an enemy "who
think. They survived 2,000 years of pogroms not by hitting back, but by
thinking. They invented . . . socialism, communism, human rights, and democracy
so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong -- so they may enjoy equal
rights with others. With these they have now gained control of the most powerful
countries."
And how should the world's Muslims deal with the Jews? Mahathir urged them
to learn from Mohammed's example -- to buy time by making "strategic retreats"
and signing peace accords, then building up their strength until they are ready
to launch a "counterattack" that will lead to "final victory."
Mahathir's Judeophobia is an old story. More than 30 years ago he wrote:
"The Jews . . . are not merely hook-nosed but understand money instinctively."
He has blasted Jews as "monsters"; in 1994 his government banned the movie
"Schindler's List" for being too pro-Jewish. When the Malaysian currency
collapsed in 1997, Mahathir blamed it on George Soros, an American investor. "We
do not want to say that this is a plot by the Jews," he thundered at a rally,
"but in reality it is a Jew who triggered the currency plunge -- and
coincidentally Soros is a Jew."
The Bush administration tried to cast Mahathir's latest screed as simply
the invective of a lone bigot. "The comments were hateful," Bush's national
security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, told reporters, adding "I do not think they
are emblematic of the Muslim world."
Would that were true. Unfortunately, while many in the West voiced outrage
at Mahathir's poisonous remarks, the Muslim world's official reaction ranged
from utter indifference to hearty approval.
The audience to whom Mahathir spoke -- the presidents, kings, and emirs of
the nations that make up the Organization of the Islamic Conference -- rewarded
him with a standing ovation. The applauders included not only the Muslim world's
dictatorial fanatics but also its reputed moderates, including President
Megawati Sukarnoputri of Indonesia, General Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan, and
Jordan's King Abdullah.
Even America's Muslim allies and clients admired Mahathir's views. The
foreign minister of Egypt -- a country that receives $2 billion a year in US aid
-- pronounced the speech "a very, very wisssse assessment." Hamid Karzai, the
US-installed president of Afghanistan, praised it as "an eye-opener to a lot of
us and . . . what the Islamic world should do."
Mahathir's speech raised no storm of controversy among most Muslims because
the Muslim world by and large has no problem with anti-Semitism. Even in the
United States there was little shocked repudiation of Mahathir's venom by
American Muslim leaders. A Nexis search turns up just one mild quibble: When CNN
invited the head of CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations, to comment,
he said only that he doesn't believe Jews run the world, "so I see that
statement as a misguided opinion."
On Tuesday I asked six American Muslim organizations -- CAIR, the American
Muslim Association, the Islamic Circle of North America, the Islamic Institute,
the Islamic Society of North America, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council --
whether they had any reaction to Mahathir's words. Three never replied; two
replied by saying they had no comment. Only MPAC condemned Mahathir for his
"extremely offensive, anti-Semitic comments."
Subject:
Clerics Promoting Islamic Bigotry These
examples of prejudice are almost classic; we hear and read them so
often. If
anyone wants to deny that antisemitism exists all they need to
do is speak to
some of these clerics or go online. How do you overcome
prejudice which
is entrenched so indelibly and are guiding principles
evoked as doctrine by
some Islamic clerics?

Islamic bigotry is still
bigotry
Last Updated: 12:01am BST 31/08/2008
In January 2007, Channel 4 broadcast Undercover Mosque, an investigation
into what was being preached in mainstream mosques in Britain. The results were
shocking: imams were shown praising the murder of British soldiers, attacking
democracy, and condemning attempts to integrate Muslims into British society.
The reaction to that programme proved the widespread reluctance to accept
the reality of what takes place under the blanket of religion:
Undercover Mosque was condemned for "damaging community relations" by West
Midlands Police, who wanted to prosecute the programme makers and Channel 4
under racial hatred laws.
On being told they could not do so, they referred the matter to the
Broadcasting Standards Commission. The programme was eventually wholly
vindicated. West Midlands Police had to pay Channel 4 more than £100,000 for
defaming it.
As we report today, the follow-up to Undercover Mosque is to be broadcast
tomorrow.
It shows that - despite all the promises that the books condoning terrorism
would be removed, as would the preachers advocating the rigid enforcement of the
narrowest interpretration of sharia law and the overthrow of our liberal
democracy - violent, intolerant prejudice continues to be preached, this time by
women, in centres of "moderate Islam", such as the Regent's Park Mosque.
In revealing this, Channel 4 has performed an important public service.
Surveys of Muslim opinion reveal the scale of the problem: almost a third of
Muslim students believe that killing in the name of religion can be justified,
and 40 per cent support the introduction of Sharia law for British
Muslims.
News: Preachers of separatism at work inside Britain's mosques
Channel
4's programme does not explain how we can diminish this kind of narrow bigotry.
But it does make it impossible for anyone to deny the continued existence of
extremism in some British mosques. That is the critical first step necessary for
finding policies which will combat it.

Arab racism, Islamic bigotry and discriminatory practices are the
most divisive issues in the Sudan because they are the major factors in
the marginalisation of the majority non-Arab Sudanese in the peripheries.

I wonder if the head of the Arab-American Institute has ever
commented on Islamic bigotry against other religions or the United
States

Islamic Hatred in the Heartland ... Khalid Yasin is one of
the most notorious Islamic hate sheikhs in the world today. He had been widely
condemned from the US to Britain to Australia for his virulent Wahhabist
extremism, his intense anti-Americanism (despite the fact that he is an
American-born convert), his justification of Islamic terrorism, his wild-eyed
conspiracy theories, and his outright racial and religious bigotry. And an
Australian news investigation found that Yasin had claimed academic degrees that
the schools had no record or, and also discovered that he had engaged in
outright fraud in his building his international Islamic media empire.

Islamic Bigotry
The political left has a public relations problem. It is in bed with the Islamo-Fascists who
are attacking us. It runs interference for them; it tries to persuade Americans that no
threat exists; and it labels anyone who says differently an “Islamo-phobe” and a “racist.”

What role does bigotry play in the Arab-Israeli
conflict?
Al Da'wa (The Mission), a prominent Islamic publication, identifies the
status of Israel with the status of the individual Jew. Here, Israel is merely
the Jew in macrocosm:
"The race is corrupt at the root, full of duplicity,
and the Muslims have everything to lose in seeking to deal with them; they must
be exterminated."
Following are some recent statements by senior PA
officials, all of which are flagrantly anti-Jewish and several of which
incorporate sordid anti-Jewish stereotypes...
- Palestinian representative
Nabil Ramlawi at a session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in
Geneva, Jerusalem Post, March 17 1997.
The theme of Palestine as the grave
of Israel and of the Jews in general is a persistent motif in Arab orientations
toward Israel. Here the following claim, made by Dr. Yahya al-Rakhawi in
Al-Akhbar, the organ of Egypt's Liberal Party, on July 19, 1982, is typical:
"When the State of Israel was established and...was recognized by many, in
both East and West, one of the reasons for this recognition was the desire of
the people in the East and West to get rid of as many as possible of the
representatives of that human error known as the Jews. Behind this motive was
another, secret purpose: to concentrate them in one place, so that it would be
easier to strike at the right moment."
The Peel Commission Report stated in 1937 [Q: When was Israel established?
A: 1948] that the conflict between the Arabs' and the Jews' aspirations is
"irrepressible" and "irreconcilable" and that it is "difficult to be an Arab
patriot and not to hate the Jews."
The hatred never subsides. It is developed and nurtured every hour, every
day through all possible means. It is encouraged in kindergartens, schools and
universities where the Arab children and youngsters learn that the Jews are
their enemies. It is preached in mosques where the "Zionist entity" is presented
as an eternal threat to the Moslem world. It is flourishing in refugee camps
where the Jews are known as "the usurpers and barbarians that have expelled the
'poor' Palestinian Arabs from their homes." It is pouring like venom from
newspaper pages in every Arab country.
New blood libels are created and the
old ones are revived. The Arab world has an enemy--Israel. Anything bad that is
happening is blamed on Israel. This is why, after the decision of the German
government to reconsider its ties with Iran, due to killings in Germany of
members of the Iranian opposition, a demonstration several hundred thousand
people strong was staged in Iran under a slogan, "Death to Israel!"

Iraqi Author 'Aref 'Alwan: The Jews Have an Historic Right to
Palestine...
'Alwan writes that the Arab League is to blame for the refusal
to recognize the 1947 U.N. partition plan, for starting a war to prevent its
implementation, and for the results of that war, which the Arabs call the Nakba
(disaster). He points an accusing finger at
the Arab regimes, the Arab
League, and the educated circles in the Arab world, saying that they
had all
used the term "nakba" to direct popular consciousness
toward a cultural tradition that neither accepts the other side nor recognizes
its rights -
thereby promoting bigotry, violence and extremism.
He also claims that there have been attempts to rewrite Palestinian history, in
order to deny any connection between it and the Jewish people...
