Otro excelente artículo de Max Boot en el L.A. Times:
As part of a plea for combining reason with religion, the pope cited a 14th century Byzantine emperor who condemned Muhammad's teachings as "evil and inhuman" because of "his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." The pope subsequently made clear that these were not his own views, but this did not stop an explosion of animosity across the Muslim world. Amid calls from angry clerics to "hunt down" the holy father (a.k.a. "the dog of Rome" and the "worshiper of the cross"), various hotheads have taken to the streets and attacked Christian churches. This recalls the over-the-top outcry this year after a Danish newspaper dared to print cartoons depicting Muhammad as an instigator of violence.
Muslim spokesmen claim that these are unconscionable slurs. Yet, while demanding respect for their own religion, too many Muslims accord too little respect to competing faiths or even to competing brands of their own faith.
Where are the demonstrations in the Muslim street when the president of Iran denies the Holocaust and calls for the destruction of Israel? Or when Palestinian kidnappers force two Western journalists to convert to Islam at gunpoint? Or when Sunni terrorists in Iraq bomb Shiite mosques and slaughter hundreds of worshipers? All too many Islamic leaders prefer to harp on the supposed sins of the "infidels," however exaggerated or even fictionalized (no, the CIA didn't bomb the World Trade Center to create an excuse for invading Afghanistan), rather than focusing on the problems within their own umma (community).
Te lo digo en serio, es muy difícil de entender a la progresía internacional, a la de izquierda y a la derecha. Más incomprensible todavía son los rebuscados intentos por trazar una equivalencia moral entre las democracias liberales occidentales y las teocracias fundamentalistas musulmanas. ¿Se dará cuenta esta gente de que le está haciendo el caldo gordo a muchos de los sectores más retrógradas del planeta?

Esto aparece en un reporte del Christian Science Monitor:
"Alaa Husni, Gaza's police chief, blamed Israel for the deterioration of security conditions in the coastal strip. "The Israelis have been raiding and destroying the security institutions, then these institutions became weak and this lead to the security deterioration and the chaos," he said.
Fabuloso, no?
Pero por supuesto, la culpa es siempre de EEUU, los judíos e Israel. En ese orden. En el caso de los judíos es especialmente irritante que ya no se dejen matar, como Dios manda. Estos tipos son de lo último, fijate que ahora pretenden defenderse de los ataques, ¡dónde se ha visto!
