On 'Fascism, Islamism, and Anti-Semitism'
Topics: Understanding IslamJoseph Loconte writes that the nonsense of anti-Semitism is the elephant in the Arab living room, and at the moment, the elephant is thrashing about most conspicuously in Iran, but he's at home in much of the Muslim world.
Writning in the Weekly Standard, Loconte says:
... the silence of the 9/11 Commission Report, the most comprehensive, bi-partisan study to date of the terrorist threat against the United States. The report is praised for its sober analysis of the "catastrophic threat" of radical Islam and its recommendations for improving U.S. security and intelligence systems. It notes that terrorist violence is "fed by grievances" that are "widely felt throughout the Muslim world"--but never discusses the pandemic of anti-Semitism that lurks beneath them. The report rightly concludes that the United States is caught up in a clash within the civilization of Islam: "That clash arises from particular conditions in the Muslim world, conditions that spill over into expatriate Muslim communities in non-Muslim countries." Yet nowhere in the document's 567 pages is there mention of the anti-Jewish hatreds that stoke this cultural conflict.So shouldn't we be paying much more attention to the diseases of obsessive anti-Semitism Islamo-fascism?Tone deafness to the racist fury of radical Islam is bad enough. What makes matters worse is that anti-Semitism is not just a problem in the Arab world, but in Europe and in much of the international community.
Of course we should, but lets be clear - Islamothugs do have an innate and obsessive anti-semetic core, but their agenda includes more than just hating Jews, it includes having the world live under "Islamists'" law - sharia. The world must "Just Say No."
