Violence Is The Culture

-
What do kofi annan, Henry Kissenger, and Tony Blair have in common?

They share an ignorant and dangerous attitude about how to fix the "muslim problem" that the West has.

They, like so many other "enlightened" people, seem to think that the answer to all the world's problems is to solve the Israel/Palestinian issue. Once that is settled, they attest, the muslims will be happy and ready to really act like peaceful members of the world community.

The only problem with this theory is... well, there are lots of problems with this theory. Let us just sum it up by saying that it is complete and utter nonsense.

Here's a nice column on the subject. Notice the absolutely solid and undeniable logic.

[[ It is astonishing that so many intelligent people could seriously espouse such an obvious falsehood. Do they really believe that Sunni Muslims and Shi'ite Muslims - whose views on Israel are identical - are slaughtering each other in Iraq because of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Or that anti-Syrian politicians in Lebanon - who are no less anti-Israel than the pro-Syrian sort - are being assassinated by Syria and threatened with a coup by Hizbullah because of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

That Arab Muslims are committing genocide against black Muslims in Sudan because of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

That Taliban Muslims are murdering non-Taliban Muslims in Afghanistan because of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

That Chechen Muslims took Russian schoolchildren hostage in Beslan because of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

That Muslims and Hindus are killing each other in Kashmir because of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

That Muslims worldwide rioted over Danish cartoons because of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? The list could go on for pages. ]]

Pages and pages and pages, actually.
