Perspective

Caroline Glick provides it in an article on the proposed New York mosque.
But for Obama, there are some groups who must be denied the same civil rights he upholds as absolute in his defense of the plan to build a mosque at Ground Zero. As Obama has made clear since his first days in office, he believes that Jews should be denied the right to their property in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria simply because they are Jews.

OBAMA IS so firm in his belief that Jews should be denied civil rights in Israel's capital and in the heartland of Jewish history that he has provoked multiple crises in his relations with Israel to advance this bigoted view. Almost from his first day in office Obama has struck out a radical position in which he has insisted that Jews must be prohibited from building anything - synagogues, homes, nurseries, schools - in Judea, Jerusalem and Samaria on land they own. Jews - Israeli and non-Israeli - should be barred from exercising their property rights even if their construction plans have already been approved "in accordance with local laws and ordinances."

Liberal opinion is that 'we' must show our superior moral development by tolerating endless white-anting of our civilization.

Like the ancient story (perhaps beginning in apocryphal Job) of the anchorite whose great holiness extends to picking up fallen maggots and placing them back in his festering wounds.

Maybe Obama can have a "coexist" bumper sticker mounted on his limo for his next visit to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE, etc. Heck, let the Progies try setting up a stand to sell those in one of the aforementioned countries. I'll sell the popcorn. Always goes good at a public lashing.

Hey, is popcorn "halal"?

Probably not, since it is not mentioned in the Qur'an. One famous Muslim theologian refused to eat watermelon because the Qur'
an did not mention it.

Let's call it what it is: selective bigotry.

Here's a thought experiment: Suppose white Southerners and black Southerners were contesting ownership of Alabama, each claiming historical justification. Whose side do you think Obama would take?

Especially if the black Southerners had decided to convert en masse to Islam.

Discuss.

I never wanted to take this attitude toward Obama, but his actions keep pushing me toward it.
