Muslim And Far-Right Extremists Join In Baltimore To Decry 'Jewish Zionist Power'
New York, NY, August 19, 2008 … A small Muslim organization that promotes anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial recently played host to a gathering in Baltimore that featured speeches by prominent domestic extremists. According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the gathering is just the latest example of the "burgeoning relationship" between far-right and Muslim extremists in the United States.
The "International Islamic Conference" held in a Baltimore hotel on August 16 was organized by a small Muslim group called Jamaat al-Muslimeen (JAM), which actively promotes anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial mixed with a deep distrust of Western-style democracy. The gathering heard from several well-known anti-Semites.
"Despite their divergent backgrounds and interests, promoters of anti-Semitism are finding common cause in their hatred of Jews and Israel," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "There is a burgeoning relationship of far-right and Muslim extremists who increasingly are working together to promote anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial."

I am (nominally) a Christian*- with two nieces and three grandchildren who are Jewish-and,as you might imagine, I worry about their future in an increasingly hostile world.
I wouldn’t recognize a crypto-henotheist if I fell over one,but am reasonably sure Jesus of Nazareth was NOT a blue-eyed,brown-haired Nordic lad, and do NOT believe present day Jews are “really Kazakhs” (sp?).
* I attend my late wife’s church when the spirit moves me-which is less and less these days.It is sometimes a comfort to do so.
Comfort is becoming a very rare commodity in the world today. I wish I had some.
