		<description>So you think we should ban books? How would you go about this? Remove them at gunpoint from the homes of peaceful Muslims? Burn the books in public squares?</description>

		<description>You are totally wrong! It is not the danger of islamism!! It is the danger of islam! As it was said by Erdogan &quot;There is no moderate islam. There is only one islam!&quot; 

This book called the qoran is just as dangerous as &quot;Mein Kampf&quot;. I myself think it is more dangerous, because &quot;Mein Kampf&quot; was not read by many people. The qoran is read by so many people and many think it is right to kill unbelievers as it is said in the qoran! 

Geert Wilders is right!</description>

		<description>Chas - I think I understand your position a little better now, but am still puzzled by your stance on Wilders.

It&#039;s generally true that we should be wary of those who urge the banning and/or burning of books.  Yet, if we&#039;re tolerant of those who have no tolerance for anybody who disagrees with them, what will result?

The Third Jihad has been underway for much longer than most people realize.  The percentage of Muslims who aren&#039;t intolerant fanatics (or who don&#039;t encourage and facilitate jihadis) is statistically insignificant. They have absolutely no power in the Islamic world. 

We&#039;re facing growing Islamic &quot;militant enthusiasm&quot; (Konrad Lorenz&#039; term) that can&#039;t be stopped by reasoned argument or sentimental utopianism.  

The NSDAP was exactly the same - and Islam has incorporated ALL of the NSDAP ideology and methods.  No accident that the Mufti of Jerusalem was an acolyte of Hitler.  

Anwar Sadat wrote glowingly about Hitler after the NSDAP &quot;defeat&quot; in 1945 - saying that another Hitler would rise up and finish off the Jews.  Every significant Muslim leader since then has echoed this support for Hitlerian ideology, although many of them have gone to great lengths to obscure their beliefs.  

We often hear nice words from Muslims about &quot;mutual respect&quot; and so forth.  But the Islamic concept of taqiyya is rarely considered by Islamic apologists who seize on these nice words and try to present them as representative of normative Islam.

It&#039;s easy to imagine that Muslims share our humanistic values.  10 years ago, I believed they did.  But they don&#039;t.  The few historical and individual exceptions aren&#039;t the issue here - although these exceptions are always made the focus when facts about Islamic intolerance and oppression are discussed.

I live next to a Muslim man and often have coffee with him.  He&#039;s a pleasant fellow.  He has three wives, and I don&#039;t know how many children (more than 10 for sure).  But even he admits that, under Islam, I wouldn&#039;t live very long.  I think he might be one of the exceptions, and might even do what he could to protect me and other Jews who&#039;ve known him for many years.  But I can&#039;t count on this.

I don&#039;t hate Muslims.  Far from it.  They have exactly the same Holy Spark that Hashem put in every human being.  Plus, at least half of them here in Israel are actually Jews.  A few articles about this have appeared in recent years.

One day they&#039;ll change and will help us build the Beit Hamikdash.  But I don&#039;t see any evidence that they&#039;ll change by pretty words and wishful thinking.</description>

		<description>I thought that Wilders&#039; position was to say that if Mein Kampf is banned in the Netherlands why not ban the Quran also?</description>

		<description>Good article. Supporting the ban on Qaradawi but not that on Wilders is entirely inconsistent.</description>

		<description>Good post, Chas.  Judging people on the content of ancient religious books is never a good idea.  For a start, it ignores centuries of interpretation and imposes uniformity on highly divergent traditions.  Islamism has as much to do with European totalitarian movements of the 1930s than it does with the Quran.

Alleged support for Israel from the Far-Right is nothing but opportunism.  What they really mean is that they will deal with the Muslims first and then come back to mop up the Jews.  Even that odious Holocaust-denier Nick Griffin has been playing this game recently.  It&#039;s about as convincing as Galloway&#039;s claim that he isn&#039;t anti-Semitic.  Expose the lot of them!</description>
