There is little Israel can or should do in such circumstances except watch from the sidelines while doing its best to keep terror to a minimum. The notion, regularly repeated in Washington and the capitals of Europe, that one can tip the balance by strengthening Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas and the supposed “moderates” in Fatah against Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh and the rejectionists of Hamas, thereby producing a stable Palestinian government capable of negotiating with Israel, is mere whistling in the dark. Even if there are true moderates in Fatah who have genuinely internalized Israel’s right to exist, they have no ability to control or mold public opinion, much less to obtain its backing for the acceptance of minimal Israel demands—for example, unequivocally waiving the Palestinian “right of return”—the very...

Diese Geschichte ist nicht typisch und nicht repräsentativ, und sie hat natürlich nichts, gar nichts mit der Religionszugehörigkeit der Beteiligten zu tun. So was kommt in den besten Familien vor. Nur bei den einen etwas öfter als bei den anderen.

Es ist derzeit schwer was los in Köln, wo man sonst mit dem Geigerzähler nach Spuren des Lebens suchen muss, wenn nicht gerade die “tollen Tage” den Grund für einen Ausnahmezustand hergeben. Der Kölner als solcher neigt zur Apathie, gibt sich mit Delikatessen wie dem “halven Hahn” (halbes trockenes Brötchen mit einem Stück überalterten Käse) und “kölschem Kaviar” (gebratene Blutwurst mit Zwiebelringen) zufrieden und geht ab und zu in “Die wilde Muschi” am Rudolfplatz, wenn “Mutti” gerade unpäßlich ist.  Ansonsten fließt das Leben träge dahin, nur unterbrochen von dem Ruf: “Köbes, noch ein Kölsch!”
Seit ein paar Tagen aber vibriert in Köln sogar die Luft. Alle regen sich über ein Interview auf, das Ralph Giordano dem KStA gab, in dem er Burka tragende Frauen mit Pinguinen verglichen hat. Was an sich ein Fall für PETA...

In particular, it is simply astounding that the west is not acting to defend itself against attacks being orchestrated by Iran — not forgetting its sidekick Syria, which is facilitating the passage of fighters into Iraq. Iran is heavily engaged in arming, training and supplying the Iraqi insurgency. Western soldiers are being blown up by Iranian roadside bombs. Iran is now working with every type of group in Iraq, Sunni as well as Shia, in its effort to defeat the coalition, stymie Iraqi democracy and seize control of Iraq for itself.

Yet neither America nor Britain is fighting back against this. They will not cross the border into Iran or Syria in hot pursuit. The recent humiliation of Britain’s navy, when the 15 sailors were taken hostage, occurred because the British rules of engagement forbade firing on Iranian forces in self...

Ein Vorschlag von Tawfik Hamid:
To bring an end to Islamophobia, we must employ a holistic approach that treats the core of the disease. It will not suffice to merely suppress the symptoms. It is imperative to adopt new Islamic teachings that do not allow killing apostates (Redda Law). Islamic authorities must provide mainstream Islamic books that forbid polygamy and beating women. Accepted Islamic doctrine should take a strong stand against slavery and the raping of female war prisoners, as happens in Darfur under the explicit canons of Shariah (“Ma Malakat Aimanikum”). Muslims should teach, everywhere and universally, that a woman’s testimony in court counts as much as a man’s, that women should not be punished if they marry whom they please or dress as they wish.
