I read today that a Newsweek poll in Pakistan found that 48 percent of Pakistanis believe that Israel was behind the September 11 massacre. Reports from around the Middle East also show this to be a widespread belief among Arabs and Muslims. It is also echoed by the defeatist factions on the far left and the far right in this country.Prince Alaweed responded yesterday to Rudy Giuliani's heroic return of the Saudi prince's blood money in these words: "The whole issue is that I spoke about their position [on the Middle East conflict] and they didn't like it because there are Jewish pressures and they were afraid of them." This quote was to the newspaper Okaz, according to the New York Post. Alaweed knew exactly how to explain the affront to his native audience.
There is only one word for this sickness and it is anti-Semitism. Somehow, we have not yet named the psychosis that affects large numbers of Muslims. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Israel's policies toward the Palestinians, whatever Tony Blair naively believes. The overwhelming majority of Arab Muslims do not want an accommodation with Israel. They want its obliteration and the expulsion or murder of every Jew that lives there.
This anti-Semitism is openly fostered and fomented by many of the "moderate" Arab regimes we are now busy cozying up to. It is widely believed across the Muslim world - from the Philippines to Morocco to the denizens of our own native Muslim, Mr. Farrakhan.
One of our greatest mistakes in the past few years has been to avoid calling this what it is: a sickness that only half a century ago was responsible for the greatest crime in the history of mankind. Why, one wonders, have no Western leaders confronted this ugly truth and condemned it? What hasn't the Pope?
The rhetoric of bin Laden is not simply fundamentalist. In its structure and paranoia, it is not so different from the doctrines propagated by Hitler. These bin Laden-supporting Muslims want non-Muslims expelled from a wide swathe of Arab territory. They want Lebensraum, and the primary victim of such Lebensraum will once again be the Jews. Israel may not be the first cause cited by bin Laden but it surely is a critical one.
It seems to me that our squeamishness in naming and recognizing this phenomenon is blunting our ability to confront it. Once again, we are faced with an expansionist, terrorist ideology that uses the demonization of Jews as one of its major rallying cries. What more do we need to know?

My what strange fantasies you have.
Just as long as they don't have to kiss this woman:
Your "Final Solution"? Pity you don't come out from behind that computer screen so that we all know who you are. But, like your Islamic buddies who are terrified to face soldiers and prefer to murder helpless people including children, you are too cowardly to face us openly.
You can start with me because I believe in G-D FIRST. You see, I have learned from bitter experience that I cannot put my trust in my fellow countrymen to adhere to the principles on which this country was founded. In other words, my fellow Americans cannot be trusted to do what they are supposed to do. So I put my trust in G-D. Want to throw me out of the country? You can try, but you're going to need help.
Actually, it's more than that. For whatever reason, conspiracy theories generally flourish in Arab countries and in Pakistan. Daniel Pipes has documented this extensively in his book, The Hidden Hand: Middle East Fears of Conspiracy. Promoting anti-Semitic conspiracies dovetails nicely with the political agenda of Arab governments, but there are plenty of others subscribed to as well.
Along with another book by Prof. Pipes, Conspiracy: How the Paranoid Style Flourishes and Where it Comes From, which concentrates more on the U.S. and the U.K., The Hidden Hand is an excellent read. I am currently doing some research on conspiracism, so if anyone has any ideas about what makes it tick I'd appreciate hearing them.
You and your kind dont tell us that we Americans cannot be trusted. It is you who can not be trusted in American political matters. America is a country, not a religion. America is not here for you to use to promote your particular brand of religion or your favorite non-American nation. If you have a special, favorite country in mind that helps you promote your particular brand of religion, then move there.
Both you and Islamic Arabs in this country are being used by anti-American Communists who are inside this country. The whole idea is to get you and the Arabs (and right-wing Christians, Mexican immigrants, blacks, and other groups) to fighting among yourselves so that this country will undergo a Marxist revolution, so that American Communists can bring all of you under the control of a strong centralized federal government and federal government agencies. Communists are masters of manipulating the various internal conflicts between different types of people in various countries. Their aim is to come out on top, while special-interest groups like yours and others fight among themselves.
The official US government idea of multi-culturalism and diversity is an old American Communist dream. While in the old days, the Soviet Communists thought of Russia as being the leading Communist nation in the world, many American Communists wanted the United States to be the leading Communist nation, since it already had a long history of racial and ethnic diversity.
The term communism means commune-ism. The basic idea is to turn the entire world into a world-wide commune, with all people of all different races and ethnic groups being controlled by a one-world communist government.
After the rise of the importance of Chinese Communism, and especially after the fall of the Soviet Union, old Soviet/Russian-style Communism gradually lost its importance and influence in the world, as American-style Communism gradually began to grow in importance, with American Communists thinking of the U.S. as being The United People of the World, rather than The United States of America.
While I think our country should still welcome pro-American immigrants to our country, I think we should go back to the old-fashioned loyalty tests era so that we can stop allowing immigrants into this country who do not support America first, and so we can keep out immigrants who come here to promote their own countries, ethnic groups, religions, races, and various anti-American political causes and organizations.
We should stop the diversity movement of the INS, because, I believe, it is basically based on the old American Communist idea of trying to fill up the US with all kinds of people from around the world who have no feelings of loyalty toward the United States.
I think we should deport Arabs, and block their immigration, based solely on their lack of feelings of loyalty toward the United States, and we should do the same with other types of immigrants. The small country of Israel should not determine our immigration policies, nor should Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, etc. As Americans, weve got to start thinking again of America First, and stop thinking of some other country as being first and most important in the world. If you were born and raised in the United States, but if you think of some other country as being more important than the U.S., then youve been conned and brainwashed by lobbyists who represent that other country. If you like some other country better than the United States, then shut up, get out of the U.S., and move there.
I have no problem with you being a Zionist in Israel, but not here. We need Americans here, not Zionists, not anti-American Muslims, not nationalistic Mexicans, not Africa-oriented African Americans, not Chinese-Communists, and not Ireland-oriented Irish. We need Americans here who think America First.
Ben, you are perfectly free to believe in and practice your religion here, but keep your personal religious beliefs out of our countrys politics.

My observation is that the Islamics are more gossipy than others. Have trouble keeping their yaps shut. Lower literacy also makes for more verbal communications. Rumors, lies and truths travel at lightning speed among them.
A Semite is someone belonging to a group who speaks a Semitic language, including Arabs, Hebrews, and Ethiopians. It also includes ancient peoples like Arameans, Babylonians, Carthaginians, and Phoenicians. Semitic refers to the languages or cultures of Semites.
But anti-Semitism means hostility against Jews or Judaism. It makes no sense to appropriate all of Semitism to Jews when "anti" precedes the word.
It seems to me that many Arabs and Muslims (not necessarily Semites) are anti-Jewish, anti-Judaism, or anti-Israeli. But restricting anti-Semitism to only Jews is a definition gone awry. It's time to return anti-Semitism to mean antagonism to Semites and not exclusively to Jews.
Of course people seem to like throwing epithets around. Whether such accusations are true is another matter altogether.
