Condoleeza Rice Is Mistaken In Her Claim That Anti-Semitism "Is Not Emblematic Of The Muslim World"

NEW YORK- President Bush's National Security Adviser, Condoleeza Rice, is mistaken in her claim that the Malaysian prime minister's anti-Semitic speech was "not emblematic of the Muslim world."

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad told the Organization of the Islamic Conference on October 16, 2003, that "The Jews rule the world by proxy: they get others to fight and die for them." His speech "received a standing ovation from Muslim leaders" at the conference. (New York Times, Oct. 21, 2003)

Four days later, Dr. Rice condemned the remarks, but added: "I don't think they are emblematic of the Muslim world." (New York Times, Oct. 21, 2003)

Morton A. Klein, National President of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), said: "Hatred of Jews is widespread throughout the Muslim world. It is taught in the schools and preached in the mosques. Cartoons in Muslim newspapers routinely portray Jews in blatantly anti-Semitic terms. In Muslim countries, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the 19th-century forgery claiming to reveal the Jewish plan to conquer the world, is widely distributed, quoted, and believed. I myself have seen huge stacks of copies of the Protocols for sale in Egyptian and Jordanian book stores. It's time for the Bush administration to acknowledge this reality and take active steps to combat it, such as using U.S. leverage to bring about change in Muslim educational systems."

Egypt: In November and December 2002, official Egyptian Government Television broadcast a 40-part series claiming that for the past century, Jews have been trying to take over the world in accordance with the plan described in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Palestinian Authority: The official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida asserted on November 18, 2001: "The purpose of the [Israeli] military policy is to impose this situation on the residents and force them to leave their homes, and this is done in the framework of The Protocols of Zion."

Jordan: Former Jordanian Queen Noor, in her new autobiography Leap of Faith, writes that "Jews...achieved influence and power at the highest levels ... [They] are the CEOs of large American corporations and representatives of the top levels of media and entertainment businesses, financial institutions, legal and medical professions and, increasingly, the highest reaches of government." Former senior Clinton adviser Dick Morris notes: "It's good old-fashioned anti-Semitism, dressed up to sound better. Instead of 'Shylock,' she speaks of the dominance of Jews over 'financial institutions.' Instead of the Elders of Zion, she speaks of Jews' power over the 'highest reaches of government.' Instead of going after Jews in Hollywood, it's the 'top levels of media and entertainment businesses. Bigotry and prejudice leaps out from each page of the book." (New York Post, May 5, 2003)

Saudi Arabia: A February 2003 study of Saudi Arabian school textbooks, by the American Jewish Committee and the Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace, found numerous references to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and other alleged Jewish conspiracies to rule the world, including in such major standard textbooks as Hadith and Islamic Culture and Biography of the Prophet and History of the Muslim State.

Ping.

[Travis McGee]

Still in denial. Sigh.

Radical Islam is an insane murder cult, "moderate" Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.

[The Westerner]

Thanks for posting this, Yonif. Rice has the President's ear on all matters foreign. I'm sorry to hear she's peddling this line.

[witnesstothefall]

It's a point well made. If anti-Semitism were not emblematic in the Muslim world, Mahathir's remarks would've have been greeted with embarrassed silence not a standing O.

He was addressing the largest Muslim org in the world after all. They wallow in their hatred for all the world to see.

[Kay Soze]

We each have a public face and a private face.

I dont think any with the ability to touch ones nose with eyes closed doubts that Islam is Satan.

This ability exludes Floridians!

My goodness. The silly things one has to say when in public life.

"My goodness. The silly things one has to say when in public life"


...Exactly! Not only are they anti semitic but anti Christian too and indeed anything that is not Islamic.
Religion of peace my arse. Religion of hate.

[Edit35]

She has to be saying this tongue in cheek, or with her finger's crossed, all the while knowing the real truth.

Or maybe it is reverse psychology, a kind of underhanded attempt to make hateful Muslims feel guilty.

It's understandable that in diplomacy, people say things they really don't mean, but Rice strikes me as too smart to really believe that tripe.

[CaptIsaacDavis]

CONDOLEEZA RICE IS THE QUEEN OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS! She gave a speech last year in which she articulated a grand vision (not strategy -- she has no sense for that) of promoting a "global culture." She ran Stanford people!

[Rockitz]

As a representative of our country she must maintain a diplomatic/politically correct stance- a necessary evil for maintaining diplomatic relations with Muslim nations.

All of the principled people on this site just can't understand this necessity.

[Light Speed]

Just a matter of time before Malaysian Jihadi start targeting U.S. assets ...places like Taiwan are likely to experience terror soon.

As long as the Mosque is off limits..the war will go on and on.

[Captainpaintball]

Say it ain't so, Condoleezzzzzza! you're a COWARD TOO?

[etcetera]

Email the president here to let him know that this politically correct cow poop about friendly Muslims has to stop.

Muslims hate Jews because they are Jews.

Muslims hate Americans because they are Americans.

And the U.S. Muslims aren't voting for him anyway (except maybe the Iraqis).

G.W. and his staff constantly saying "Islam is a religion of peace" and "We're not at war with Islam" makes him look foolish.

General Boykin was right, and G.W should stand by him.

[tessalu]

I have news for Condi Rice. She is as crazy as hell, if she does not know that the Muslim world hates Jews in the very worst way. I did not know she was nuts until now.

[yonif]

"Today the Saturday people. Tommorow the Sunday people."

[deannadurbin]

Rice must be profoundly ignorant of bible truth. One only has to read Genesis to see how far back the satanic hatred of Jews originates in the arab world, including its sympathizers.

[The Westerner]

Queen of Political Correctness? That's pretty low below the belt. Give us more info.

Peddling it in public. What does she say in private? Do you think she's a tolerance-junkie Islamowhore who's only serving in public office to get kickbacks from the Saudis once she retires? I don't think so.

Muslims blame the jews for all their problems, rather than accept personal responsibility. Muslims are doomed until they stop this.
