Blame Israel for islamic woes

Today's whine-o-gram included an op-ed published in the Wichita Eagle. The author, Maher Musleh, rebuts a July 24th editorial opinion suggesting we leave Iraq because of the civil war.
The op-ed titled "DON'T CAST BLAME ON MUSLIMS" serves to cast blame to the creation of the State of Israel. Musleh claims all this islamic madness was "started by the creation of Israel as a Western solution to the plight of the European Jews, which robbed the Palestinian Arabs (Muslims, Christians and Jews) of their rights to their land." (You must read the comments regarding the op-ed)

It sounds like Musleh attended the Holocaust Denial conference in Iran. The article goes on ignoring basic facts and continues to promote the lie that land was "stolen" from the palestinian arabs for the Zionist cause.

Hundreds of acres of swamp land that was sold to Jews at 10 times market value from private, absentee land owners. The author is either intentionally misleading readers or he's completely ignorant of the truth.

There's no mention of the chaos going on in Gaza since the Jews left. So much for the whole idea of self governing.

Maher Musleh has an agenda, as chairperson of the Wichita Chapter of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, it's his job to defend islam. This statement from the article speaks volumes about the lack of civility in the muslim world; "cultures that conflate religion and government cannot tolerate American-style democracy." By perpetuating the muslim victim mentality, to ignorant masses, reflects responsibility that solely belongs to those who inflict murderous carnage in the name of their god. Placing blame on America's support for the State of Israel is not the cause of islamic bedlam. At some point the islamic community needs realise the culpability is of their own making.

Exploiting "Jew hatred" as a rationale for the violent, intolerant actions of muslims won't solve the issues plaguing the islamic community. From within change is the only way islam can survive. Extending the tolerance they demand and ending the violence is a giant step toward obtaining the goal that all religions can live in peace.

Ah, but you mistake their goal. It isn't to live in peace with all religions. It is to have all other religions either destroyed or subject to Islam. Ending the violence would be counterproductive for them.
