I would have called that presentation "Hating Jews: It's not Just for Nazis Anymore!"

I have known many intelligent Muslims who have neither railed in rage against Jews, nor have they threatened me as a non-Muslim.

Maybe ignorance is the true enemy here, not Islam, or Judaism.

A minority group in the US such as Muslim not threatened non-Muslim or Jews I’m shocked I hear this a lot as if a Muslim in America represent all Muslims no one ever said they where stupid.
Try reading Arab media translations it will give a good idea of what they believe there are some Muslims out wanting a change but they are always being silenced.
MEMRI translates Arab media stories to give everyone an idea of what kind of news stories they get.

Muslims are the only accepted hate group in the world today.

I’m assuming that from the lack of responses that everyone agrees with the thread topic.
Here is an Arabic translation that also supports the notion.


Dr. Abdul Wahid Al-Humaid wrote an article titled "Good Cause, Bad Lawyers" which appeared in three Saudi dailies this week. Dr. Abdul Wahid Al-Humaid is the Secretary General of the Manpower Council in Saudi Arabia, which is responsibile for economic and social development in both the public and private sectors of Saudi Arabia. The Manpower Council falls under the auspices of the Ministry of Interior, headed by Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz. The following are excerpts from the article:


"The Jews, on the other hand, have succeeded in [winning] world sympathy by playing on the Holocaust and Nazi atrocities. The result has been a world that gradually shifted from disliking Jews to sympathizing with them. The Jews are masters at manipulating the media, money, world organizations and pressure groups. Watching the anti-globalization demonstrators rampaging through the streets of Geneva not far from the headquarters of the World Trade Organization, it is easy to identify the type of people who took it upon themselves to fight globalization. From their appearances, they look like people from the 1950's and 60's. I can't understand why the defenders of poor countries and just causes are those who lead lives neither socially normal nor conventional."

Sounds like the doctor is jealous.

Maybe he should teach Hamas about Ghandi and MLK, jr.

"Some of the demonstrators appeared like clowns, others were dressed in rags and odd bits of clothes while still others seemed drunk, judging from the way they behaved. Is it really necessary for the anti-globalization movement to be led by people such as these?

I like this part, the good doctor highlights a very relevant point. If the anti-globalization protesters conducted themselves in a civilized manner, more people would listen to them.

This doesnt answer my question.

[Frank Newgent]

You implied that you didn't understand why folks might behave in (seemingly) unorthodox fashion so as to gain attention.

[crackmonkey]

He said that people would be more receptive to their message if their methods were more palatable.
In the advertising idiom - it would certainly attract attention to have a 30 second commercial showing kittens being thrown into lawnmower blades; I doubt it would generate much business for the product being hawked, however...

[Frank Newgent]

I was thinking more along the lines of banana-firing vaginas, folks shooting smoke rings out their ass, that sort of thing.

[c0rbin]

Kittens? Lawn Mowers? Smoking Rectums?!? Where and how can I purchase your product(s)!!!?!?!

Just what does this have to do with the topic of the thread?
