The day after 9/11, Le Parisien-Aujourd'hui published an account of the jubilant atmosphere the previous evening in the eighteenth arrondissement of Paris, home to a large Muslim community. "Bin Laden will nail all of you!" was among the more moderate remarks hurled at passersby who didn't appear to be North African. Or: "I'm going to celebrate big time tonight! Those guys were real heroes. That'll teach those American bastards--and all you French are next!"
Snippets of this sort were ignored by almost all media.
Yes, let's ignore it. They did not really mean it. They are only after the Jews. And Americans. They deserved it anyway. Everybody else are totally safe. </sarcasm>
I call it a willful and malicious blindness.
