meredith,
I'm quite prepared to discuss Israel and the Palestinians at length,as I have already, however it's OT here. What I think is relevant is the mistaken notion that my enemy's enemy is automatically my friend, definitely not in Israel's case. Uncritical support of Israel and devaluation of the Palestinians as human beings undermines the West's political arguments (against Islamisation) which after all, are based on human rights principles.

No probs, all I am saying is a lot of Israels support from the world has nothing to do with disliking Islam... It's the WW2 resolution for many people. Actually may as well use the post to go on and voice the point that it's NOT islama-prejuphobic to care for Israels survival.. Posted by meredith, Monday, 5 January 2009 2:07:48 PM

Instead of sending medical aid to the Palestinians, the Malay Muslims in Indonesia are calling for a “holy war” against Israel. This is the typical imprisoned mentality of the non-Arab Muslim response when their Muslim-ARAB masters are in trouble, but remain quiet when Indonesian Muslim maids are regularly raped by their Muslim-Arab masters.
The fight between Palestine and Israel is strictly a localised affair and yet Muslims the world over are getting emotional over Israel’s legitimate self-defence. Perhaps nil-observer can put on a turban, grow a beard and lead a camel-cavalry charge against the Israeli tanks shouting ‘allah u akhbar’ http://news.id.msn.com/regional/article.aspx?cp-documentid=1956980 Posted by Philip Tang, Monday, 5 January 2009 3:55:05 PM

An Arab ex-Muslim (Ibrahim Lone) writes about Islam, in particular Wahabism is the philosophy of the Superiority of Arabs. “Wahhabism reiterates the same philosophy which the Prophet of Islam had brought about to the 1400 years ago. The philosophy of the Superiority of the Arabs. Before we proceed further, let us understand what Wahhabism is not about. Wahhabism is not about religion, its not about spirituality or God, it is about the superiority of the Arabs over all other nations.” http://www.islam-watch.org/Ibrahim.Lone/Wahhabism-Foundations-and-Dangers.htm A Malaysian Muslim Syed Akbar Ali published a book in which he argues that countries with a Muslim majority population have collapsed economically, politically and socially. With a particular focus on Malaysia, the thesis of the book is that growing Islamisation of the political and social climate in Islamic countries are causing democracy and freedom to be threatened by religious irrationalism. He showed how the curtailing of democracy and freedom of speech have caused those countries to collapse. http://www.thai-blogs.com/index.php/2006/12/03/malaysia_and_the_club_of_doom_the_collap?blog=17 Posted by Philip Tang, Tuesday, 6 January 2009 4:11:09 AM

In fact, I remember a Sydney newspaper with a headline calling them white racists, only to have right underneath a photo of a young Maori or Pacific Islander man holding a sign calling for Muslims to leave. Now that is one funny looking white supremecist.
Australia has held out their arms and shown their hospitality and like in they have done throughout Europe, responded with violence.
