| John Dhimmi Esposito: I Love Jihad; I Hate Islamophobia |
| 2006-07-08 |
| by John Esposito, al-Guardian Our common peace and security depend more on mutual understanding than demonisation. We, Muslims and non-Muslims, have all been victims of global terrorism, in New York, Madrid, London, Bali and Amman. And yet, five years after 9/11, the war on terrorism is seen by many Muslims as a war on Islam. As Islamophobia and xenophobia grow, the critical distinction between religious extremism and mainstream Islam is increasingly blurred. How do we break out of this cycle of ignorance? ...Anti-western feelings result from what we do, our policies and actions, not from our way of life. Globalisation and an increasingly multicultural west test the mettle of our values. Islamophobia is a threat to our democratic way of life. This cancer should be as unacceptable as anti-semitism. Pluralism and tolerance demand greater understanding and respect from non-Muslims and Muslims alike. The more we learn about each other, the more we will see beyond our differences to a reservoir of common concerns, values and interests. --------------------- We must learn to love: the parasitic class of welfare collecting mullahs, who leach off the West while promoting hatred of it; the compulsory spousal battery, as prescribed by the Koran; jihad terror, and hate promotion; accomodation of Muslim prayer farting, by using public funds to build facilities; honor Murders; worthless economies sandbagged by injunctions against profits; male license to rape, where 4 male witnesses are not available; hacking limbs off thieves; be-heading videos; prison recruitment of terrorists; Saudi bribery of our academics; bad breath during the Fast; removal of pig symbols; revision of the Crusades; polls that tell us how much Muslims hate us; costly cleansing of food preparation places, to accomodate the pork-haters; etc. John Espositio has made a fortune, shilling the Muslims are benign snakeoil. The fact that he does it in a UK publication of 7-7 reveals the depth of his depravity. |

| #6 the people crying islamophobia should be noted - they are the ones provide aid and assistance to our enemies, and when the fit hits the shan, when the first American city gets nuked or WMD'ed, they should be the first to go |

| #5 Islamophobia is a threat to our democratic way of life. This cancer should be as unacceptable as anti-semitism. Oh, really ? What is the Zionist group that bombs and decapitates again ? Anti-semitism is the hate of people for practicing a particular religion, Judaism. Islamophobia is the reaction to an eighth century caveman's religion preaching to kill all of the rest of us, while remaining within the main stream of Islam. |

| #4 Seafarious: After serving for 20 years as Ambassador from Italy to Saudi Arabia, the diplomat made a sudden conversion to Islam on retirement. It made me wonder just who he was serving all that time. Don't know the dude's name, but he probably changed it to Muhammad Jihadini or something like that. |

| #3 Say what you will about Esposito, he is no Dhimmi. He knows full well what the mullahs are preaching, and he is working with them to actively dismantle the resistance to the final solution. You've got to be carefully taught. |

| #2 Muslims seem to want it both ways. You have contradicted yourself. That is what I hear muslims all over the world saying. That westerners treat muslims like crap, but it is o.k. to kill American or Coalition GI's, and it is o.k. to suicide bomb the Jews. The Saudis will throw you in jail, maybe execute you for preaching christianity in the Kingdom, but Cair howls like a dog when you say even the slightest thing against islam. All their demands seem to be backed by the promise of violence, all their lands seem to be endemically stricken by poverty and senseless violence. What the hell are we supposed to think? It's not islamophobia, it's a distaste for bullshit. |
