veiled4allah: excellent article on anti-Semitism veiled4allah: excellent article on anti-SemitismFor now, I submit only one reason as to why we cannot and should not sanction the promotion of racism in our culture - be it anti-Semitism or any other - and seducing the viewing public in our part of the world to get a cheap thrill out of demonizing a whole race of people: Our faith. Especially as we observe it during the blessed month of Ramadan, when compassion, and charities of the imagination and the human spirit define our state of mind. When Islam set out more than 1,400 years ago to build a commonwealth of nations, it set out to do just that - to build a commonwealth made up of white, black and brown peoples, of Africans, Indians and Orientals, a multicultural, multiracial, multilinguistic and multinational polity where, predating the American Declaration of Independence by several centuries, all men were considered to be created equal.
We have a problem with the Israelis. There is no question about that. And we are entitled to fight them in order to gain our human rights to dignity and freedom, and fight them, if need be, till the end of time, till the sun dies. But we are not fighting them because they are Jews. Would we not have fought them with the same tenacity had they been, say, Dutch Catholic?
