While England goes full steam ahead with a horrible, reprehensible decision to no longer teach about the holocaust in its public schools, perhaps we can still glean some true education from all of this:
Inasmuch as the royal "education" strategy is motivated out of a desire to not offend Muslims, how can people continue to describe Islam as a religion of peace? I keep hearing the P.C. talking points: "Islam is a peaceful faith. Only a few terrorists have hijacked and distorted its benevolent teachings."
Does England view their entire Muslim population as a group of terrorists? Of course not. Therefore, this is an attempt to appease the mainstream Muslim population, a population growing and thriving in Not So Great Britain, a population which evidently accepts the racist, anti-semitic propaganda that the holocaust never happened, .
No real surprises here since Jew hating was part of the Koran 1300 years before the holocaust anyway (Surah 5:82).
Yes, there are some peaceful Muslims in the world, but I grow tired of the obligatory disclaimer: England's majority Muslim population evidently shares a view held by Muslims in the Middle East, such as the many Muslims of Egypt who clapped for everything Obama said, except for his laments about the holocaust.
If there is a broad group of Muslims who do not share this belief, very few of them are speaking out, and even if they did, they would (ironically) be at odds with their own Koran.
Hmm...What's next? Will they figure out that Big Ben contains a Hebrew name? Ben, after all, is the Hebrew word for son. Well golly, gee! We don't want to offend England's Muslim population all over again after appeasing their disbelief in the holocaust! I've got it! Just change the name of that famous clock tower to Big Bin Laden.
This is Bob Siegel, making the obvious, obvious.
