Seems as though they are the only ones willing to call a spade a spade.

Why is Islam Afraid of History? islam-watch ^ \| 16 Apr 2007 \| Pete Fisher islam-watch.org Muslims are protesting again in Israel over rumors that the Jews are trying to take over the Temple Mount. The prevalent belief that somehow a Jewish temple never existed on that site has become nothing more than a reason to jihad. I suppose it was ok to destroy millennia old Buddhist statues in Afghanistan, countless holy places in India, and even underneath the Temple Mount. We saw when Palestinians desecrated the Church of The Nativity in Jerusalem by using it as a base for snipers and desecrating the insides while doing so. No big deal. After all, it is a holy site of infidels, not a cartoon of Mohammed. Why waste a good rampage on infidels? Like Communism banning music and religion, or Nazi book burning, Islam has a way of trying to create its own past and future. The entire world outside of Islam knows that there were Jewish temples on that site. Ancient Babylonian and Roman references to them exist, as well as the actual artifacts beneath the old Temple site. (Excerpt) Read more at islam-watch.org ....

FRENCH VOTE: MUSLIMS URGED TO RECALL PAST 'OFFENCES' TO ISLAM adnkronosinternational ^ \| 16 April 2007 \| AKI adnki.com Paris, 16 April (AKI) - French Muslims should get out and vote in France's presidential election next week. And while it is not important that they vote for any specific French candidate, they should "remember who has offended Islam," when casting their ballot, the vice president of France's conservative UOIF - the largest French Muslim group - Fouad Alawi told thousands of Muslims taking part in its four-day annual conference that ends on Monday. "Many Muslims need to take part in France's presidential polls, and to vote on the basis of the candidates' programmes and social policies," Alawi told Adnkronos International (AKI) at UOIF's 24th annual meeting in the Paris suburb of Le Bourget. The main candidates' failure to accept invitations to address the UOIF gathering "is their choice, but is a shame, as they are missing an important event," Alawi said. Of the 12 French presidential candidates, the only one who attended was anti-globalisation activist Jose Bove. "Nicolas Sarkozy offended Islam when he goaded them to slaughter sheep in their bathrooms," Alawi stated in a reference to the rightwing UMP's presidential candidate and former interior minister. France's equal opportunities minister Algerian-descended Azouz Begag, who resigned his post on 5 April, last week published an anti-Sarkozy diatribe called "The sheep in the bathroom." Begag, who has on several occasions criticised comments made by Sarkozy about Muslims and on the 2005 urban riots, stepped down after refusing to support his candidacy. "Segolene Royal, on the other hand, upset Muslims when she compared women who wear the face-veil to victims of rape or domestic violence, " Alwai said, referring to the Socialist party's presidential contender. She is currently running second in opinion polls, behind Sarkozy and ahead of centrist UDF party candidate and far-right anti-immigrant National Front party candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen. With the aim of getting the maximum number of Muslims out to vote, during its meeting UOIF issued a 'fatwa' or religious edict stating that "Islam orders Muslims to take part in elections occurring in non-Muslim societies," Alawi said. While 42 percent of the French electorate say they still don't know how they will vote in 22 April election, some young Muslims attending the UOIF conference seemed unsure if they would vote at all. Yasmina, a veiled 25-year-old woman who told AKI she was "uncertain" if she would turn out to vote. Abdallah, a 27-year-old male wearing the traditional long Muslim tunic or abaya, went further, saying he doesn't believe in politics had no intention of casting his ballot. "My role as a Muslim is to open young people's minds to the true Islam and set them on the right path," he said without elaborating.
