It's the Jews stupid

Perhaps too malignantly hateful for the Smoking Socks Award, here’s an egregious letter from the Durban Daily News blaming the Jews for the Mumbai terror attacks.

'THE REAL EVIL OF MUMBAI ATTACK by Saber Ahmed Jazbhay It is hurtful and offensive to read some of the asinine comments printed in your Backchat column attributing what happened in Mumbai to Islam. Mostly irrational prejudice and visceral hate informs those commentators whose lack of identity marks their true agenda. What a pity, when we could discuss this great evil terrorism, and together work towards its total eradication. Will we, now that such hurtful comments have been levelled, ever learn the entire truth behind the despicable acts in Mumbai that claimed so many innocent civilians? Yes, those who perpetrated the odious acts were Muslims and yet there is something intangible, if not imponderable, that requires closer analysis. Incredibly they were young men wearing Versace apparel who made no demands as would terrorists except for a questionable missive released in the name of a nebulous and hitherto unknown organisation the Deccan Mujahideen, which I suspect is just a cover for something more sinister and larger, demanding more respect for Muslims. Those who executed the military-precision operation were not amateurs, but highly trained and motivated professional terrorists who, I suspect, were part of a larger geopolitical agenda and the operational nature and scale of their enterprise suggests that they were not religious zealots. What transpired in Mumbai, as evil as it was, had the hallmarks of Operation Susannah better known as the "Lavon Affair" one of the most bizarre events in Israeli history which occurred in November 1954. Historians will remember Operation Susannah as a Machiavellian charade that played itself out in Egypt in 1954 at a time when a nascent Israeli state was in a state of perpetual war and there was a power struggle between David Ben Gurion's successor Moshe Sharret and defence minister Pinhas Lavon, the latter who was seeking to unseat Moshe Sharrett the dovish prime minister who had taken over from Ben Gurion. British and American targets were blown up in Egypt by a ring of Jewish terrorists and the intention was to blame it on the Egyptian regime headed at the time by Gamal Abdel Nasser, but the affair was blown and the ring leaders, all Jewish, were apprehended and a few were hanged or died in Egyptian jails'.

The writer turns the victim into the oppressor and accuses others of what his letter clearly proves him guilty of – “irrational prejudice and visceral hatred”.

This is not one arbitrary and isolated opinion. It’s pretty much a mainstream school of thought amongst many Muslims in South Africa. It’s totally in line with discussions you can openly hear on Muslim radio stations, blogs, and more recently, some emails that I have been copied in on. Just the other day in fact, I was sent an email going around the Muslim community claiming “an entire city [Mumbai} has been attacked by Mossad and probably units of mercenaries.” (You can see the article discussed in the email here).

I think we have a better chance of making peace with the Palestinians than we do with most of their supporters.

I always knew of the existence of a faceless and gutless organisation that prefers to blog. Read the article carefull you schmuck and you will notice that the writer merely used an analogy to cite the possibility of outside forces. But off course you won't see that

You always knew did you? Saber!

I'm off to Israel...wish you all a great holiday, Chanuka, Christmas etc.

Dear me, any 'liberal' blog in the US such as DKos, C&L, Salon or Huffington accepts this nonsense as absolute gospel.

Quoted from letter above:

"Yes, those who perpetrated the odious acts were Muslims"

Yet here we find a taqiyya (lying for the cause of Allah)artist Saber claiming Jazbhay merely wrote of the possibility of others being involved. We here now have two people, Saber and Jazbhay contradicting each other and themselves.

Makes one wonder who is the schmuck and who did not read the letter carefully.

Does the word "PHOBIA" not mean "FEAR OF" and thus "Islamophobia= Fear of Islam"
Does the world not have a feasible right to have this fear, since the majority of horrific terror attacks since 2000 have been committed by those of the Islam faith? Now before anyone accuses me of being anti Islam - let me clarify something. I am anti right wing Islamic fundamentalist. That differs from someone who is a practising Muslim.
I think what I refer to is am "Islamist".
Maybe what should happen is that the term "Islamophobic" be changed for "Islamicphobic" and that would clear things up for once and all.
Many decent practising Muslims are being caught in the same net as the nasty right wingers, and therein lies all the trouble

Once again those who fear the truth attack those who seek the truth. People like Shaffique read what their eyes make them read.
