While Canada cancels a TV show about Islam because some Muslims believe that its tone, not anything it actually said, will incite people to hatred (see "Dhimmitude in Canada: watch your tone of voice there, buddy" at Dhimmi Watch), many high-placed Palestinian Muslims don't seem to be worried about their tone at all.
IMRA and Palestinian Media Watch report that "vicious incitement of hatred towards the United States continues unabated in the controlled Palestinian media. The PA daily condemned the Khawza Shiite institutions, for not encouraging suicide terror against the US in Iraq. President Bush and Secretary Rumsfeld are 'bloodthirsty beasts', Bush is 'the Great Liar', the USA is the 'imperialist power'. American involvement in Iraq is called: 'fascism and cruelty... repression and humiliation of the Iraqi people'. It should be noted that the PA leadership is not limiting its incitement against the US to the PA areas. In a speech in Brazilian Parliament a PA National Council Member called the 'triangle of terror and evil... Bush, Sharon and Blair' and their policies 'organized terror... and war crimes.' USAID, while it continues transferring hundreds of millions of dollars to the PA, is called 'spies'."
Hmmm. I find the tone of all that "demeaning." Maybe I can get CAIR to lodge a protest for me . . .

I stopped caring what happened to the Palestinians after their September 11th street carnival.
Posted by: Doug at November 6, 2003 3:16 PMThe more atrocities the "Religion of Peace" commits the more the world will see Islam's true face. Muslims don't seem to comprehend that it is not what they say, it is what they DO that people remember. Suicide bombings of innocents; joyous celebrations when innocents are murdered; babies and children dressed as jihadis and schooled in the ways of terror—those are the things that shine the harsh light of truth on Islam and its message of barbarism.
The double standard is alive and well— hypocrisy reigns in Islam. Muslims can insult and spew hatred as they damn well please. But, woe to the "infidel" who speaks the truth about Islamic terror. He will be accused of quoting the Qu'ran "out of context" or of having read a "bad" translation. One of the fallacies of such an argument is that the very same translations are used to convert (or revert) people to Islam. So, on the one hand the translations are "good enough" to bring believers to Islam and on the other they are "incorrect translations" if one is quoting the violent surahs.
The whole thing is tiresome! I too care less and less about Muslims in general and Palestinians in particular. When I see so called "moderate" Muslims march AGAINST terror each and every time an atrocity is committed by jihadis in the name of Islam—then, perhaps, I shall care a bit more. When Muslim clerics preach peace and tolerance every Friday in their mosques instead of murderous jihad—then, perhaps, I shall care a bit more. When Islamic mothers stop raising their children to become shaheeds—then, perhaps, I shall care a bit more.
Until then, let the Islamists carry on and with their murderous, Qu'ran inspired violence and watch the whole world turn against them. It is just a matter of time before being PC about radical Islam will be un-PC. Of course, before that day, many innocents will die at the hands of Islam.
In my opinion, any Muslim who does not actively speak out and work against Islamic terror has blood on his hands!
