Hate is their Nourishment

AOL News via Instapundit:

Al Jazeera and others, for example, have cultivated the notion that 9/11 was a CIA plot in which 3,000 Jews were told to stay home -- and was launched a pretense for the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. (Traveling in Egypt late last year, I heard this myth repeated numerous times.) Holocaust denials have picked up new steam, particularly after being spurred on by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Too many Westerners have a hard time understanding this awful reality: The narrative in the Islamic world is that the Muslims are oh-so-innocent victims and that the nefarious, sons of dogs!, Jews are plotting their destruction with the help of those nasty Jew-loving (eww) Americans.

That sounds atrocious but it's true. That line of, er, thinking is common in the Muslim world. One hears the countless conspiracies in the media, mosques and in regular conversations with friends and relatives in that part of the world. I was lucky to have had the opportunity to study and live in North America where I slowly and clearly realized just how utterly insane Islam is and just how psychotic its true followers can be.

Alas, Isaac, there are plenty of whitebread Christians who believe this nonsense too, and it is an excuse for them to hate the Jews, once more, with feeling. These are Christians, Baptists, Methodists, and the like, all people I would normally fellowship with, but they have bought the insanity, and share this ugly trait with Muslims. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is!
