Ha! That is true. Muslims probably hate Jews just because they are different. I guess that makes them just as racist as the whites were against the blacks in this country. Doesn't make it right, though.

I was telling Z I was watching this documentary on the Holocaust. During the film, I realized how so many have figured out how unacceptable anti-Semitism is; that having a different religion does not justify slaughtering innocent people. What I don't understand is why this tolerance is so selective.

Muslims are in the same way different from us as were the Jews. Muslims have the added burden of having a radical element that is more extreme than the radical elements of Judaism.......don't forget that it was ten years ago when a radical Jew assassinated Rabin. Yet, the majority of Muslims are peaceloving, law-abiding citizens of the world.

Back when anti Semitism was at its peak, so many horrific lies were said about the Jews.........that they had horns; that they ate their young; that they wanted to take over and destroy Christianity.

And now that same intolerance.....that same sick imagination is being applied to Muslims. Its so easy to show tolerance to a group who paid for humanity's intolerance with the death of 6 million lives. Why does it take a holocaust to show us that intolerance is bad no matter where its applied? Why does it take mass killing before we will realize that we all are of the same race; that we all are human? Do six million Muslims have to die before you will distinguish between good and bad Muslims?
