I apologize to Jewish for the action of my religious.
It is not what most wish I hopefully think.

Leftists don't care about attacks.
Leftist people will excuse their attackers and wonder how they can change themselves so as to make it stop.
I mean look you see that now in the liberal left that blames Israel and America for being hated.

There is nothing illegal in the so-called settlements. They are NOT against international law as some have stated.

International law is ridiculous anyway and violates national sovereignty.

Arab-Mohammedans already have far too much land in the middle east that they stole from others like the real Persians, the real Babylonians, the real Egyptians, the real Syrians. They came in, replaced the original people with Arab migrants , overthrow the real religion of the land and set up shop as a legitimate nation.

Look at the results and oppression and backwardness as a result.
Note the horrors in Iran under Arabs while the real Persians are oppressed there. Iran is Persia.

Now they wish to take Israel from Israelites and give that to the nomadic Arab tribes as well.

Arab-Mohammedans have Saudi Arabia. That is their nation, created and gifted to them compliments of the British.

Before that Arabs were simply wandering migrant tribes of caravan robbers, sheep herders and slave traders.

JWAV,

Indeed. Any belief system that demands immunity from criticism, is demonstrating its own weakness.

The real world consequences of Islamic violence are not theoretical scripture, but practical implementation.

Anomymous,

it's not Islamophobia when they're trying to kill you.

Absolutely true, every word of it.

As you note, it's also exacerbated by the fact that people assume the Abrahamic faiths are fundamentally alike. Of course this is far from being true. Islam is fundamentally different from either Judaism or Christianity.

One of the first things that apologists for Islam will often claim is 'Oh, but there's violence in the bible and/or Tanakh as well!', so as to excuse the hatred in the Quran.

Raymond Ibrahim has written an excellent piece on this which I really recommend.

People confuse critiquing the religion of Islam, with being racist towards Muslims. But the two are totally different.

Religions are just ideologies and no ideology can be immune from critique. Thus just as one can condemn communism or the racism of Nazism, so too one is free to condemn Islam in the same way.

sultan, you really are islamophobic. You're scared and hate other religions and I'm afraid your words are far from reality.

I read your blog all the time, but rarely comment. You have great insight and I enjoyed this one on tolerance and the related George Washington piece. When I read your blog, I'm usually nodding my head and saying "exactly" and "yes" or "of course" out loud to myself in agreement. Thanks for the great writing! cheers from an expat USA living in NZ hungry for the conservative revolution

Liberals need to live as a member of a minority in a Muslim-majority country. A few will "go native" - especially those with serious mental health issues. But the majority, after a few years, will develop an extreme antipathy to anything to do with Islam or Muslims. I guarantee it.

Until there's a major 9/11 terrorist attack on either California or Tel Aviv I doubt the liberals will abandon their tolerance for Islam and its evils.

It doesn't have to hit close to home it has to actually hit their homes and families.

If Israel or the US can be compared to lions liberals can be described as vets who want to extract their teeth and declaw the lions making them non-threatening...all in the wishful, delusional hope that these nutured, de-fanged, declawed lions pose no threat and Islam will back off.

Islam doesn't work that way, though. Harmless innocent victims are fair game.
