I believe there are peaceful Muslims in the world. I really do.
I’m not just saying that as obligatory, Politically Correct
dribble. I have met and conversed at
length with many peaceful Muslims.
But I’m also convinced that many of the so called moderate Muslims,
especially the media spokespeople, are not nearly as benign as they let on.
You won’t find a Muslim on radio or TV who embraces terrorism. They all
renounce terrorism categorically. But I have found that one very simple
question reveals how these people truly feel. I’m talking about the
Israeli-Palestinian situation.
Only recently, Muslim apologist, Nadir Ahmed was a guest on my radio show.
He renounced terrorism right at the beginning of the interview. When I asked
him how he felt about Jimmy Carter encouraging Israel to make
deals with Hamas, the terrorist organization elected into office by the
Palestinians, I then heard a much different kind of answer. Mr. Ahmed explained
that we do not have good options today in the Middle
East. He also went
on to say that the Israelis were every bit as much terrorists as Hamas.
This kind of moral equivalency argument serves as a Freudian slip of
sorts. If one sees no difference between
assassinating terrorists or bombing terrorist strong holds and some thug
strapping on a bomb blowing up a bus that includes innocent women and children,
if one can excuse the Palestinians for putting a terrorist government into
play, indeed, if one can forget that the PLO and their gangster founder Yasser Arafat
basically invented terrorism as we know it today, then this person in my
opinion is not really renouncing terrorism.
This is Bob Siegel, making the obvious obvious.
Note: Many people are tragically misinformed about the historical
revision of the Israeli-Palestinian situation.
