The Jewish reaction to all this should be strong and clear: take your hate elsewhere. To paraphrase our prophet Groucho Marx, we don’t want to be part of any club that would have us as a member.
Judaism has a tribal aspect, but it is more than just a tribe. It is a set of laws and values that Jews believe God set before that tribe, and which they must adhere to (with room for argumentation and interpretation, thank God).
Those values pretty much preclude the murder of innocents, baseless hatred, and the death penalty for people whom you fear. (с)

But yeah - I would not quoted the last sentence. It is wrong. Unless there is a full out world wide war - I do not have to side with somebody hostile to oppose evil.

A very characteristic sleuth of hands: the author of the article sleeps in a label of "racism" characterizing anti-Muslim movements; obfuscating the fact that it is the ideology we are against, not the particular race of people.

Date: 2011-07-24 08:37 pm (UTC)-I didn't accuse YOU in self-hatred. I talked (and specifically stressed that) about the author of the article you linked to. Only a self-hating Jew, the likes of whom are belong to left/liberal/Dem ranks, can a)call opposition to aggressive islamization "racist" b) side with Muslims in their jihad against the world (and effectively, against their own Jewish people).
*It is my opinion that there is no "militant" Islam. There is just Islam, which is inherently a militant ideology.
