Muslim reformer: 'Gaza solution in Palestinian hands'
Egyptian Muslim reformer Tawfik Hamid rips Hamas some new body parts in this article in the JPost.As an Egyptian Muslim now living in America, I ask myself why the Arab street and its supporters in the West never show similarly strong response against Islamic terrorists who target innocents worldwide and explode markets full of predominantly Muslim civilians in Iraq, Pakistan, Sudan, Turkey, etc. When you consider that the Israeli attack killed some 400 mostly Hamas militant in the first four days, the passive attitude of the Muslim world against the terrorists represents extreme hypocrisy. If it truly cared for Muslims' lives, it should have demonstrated in the same numbers and with equal vehemence against the Islamists who murder hundreds of thousands of their fellow Muslims, not to mention the Hamas slaughter of rival Fatah members - women and children included.Read the whole thing.
Another question is why we have not seen a similarly strong reaction against the terrorists who conducted the latest attack in Mumbai. Many Indians, Westerners and Jews were killed. Yet there was no spontaneous eruption of outrage and demonstrations in Europe to denounce the attacks as in the case of Gaza. Are these lesser lives than those of the Palestinians? Where is the organized public fury for the wanton killing of Indians and Jews?
...
The Muslim world and the Europeans who support the demonstrations against Israel must stop the biased reaction that blindly and reflexively supports the Palestinians and villifies Israel. Those who demonstrate against the military campaign on Gaza must realize that if Hamas had stopped pounding Israel with its rockets, Israel would not have launched its attack. If the Palestinians focused on building their society rather than destroying those of others, the whole region would enjoy peace and flourish. Should Palestinians recognize the right of Israel to exist, end terrorism against Jews and nurture a sincere desire to live in peace, they would end their suffering. The solution now is simply in the hands of the Palestinians - not the Israelis.

More proof that it's anti-Semitism, not concern for "innocents" that drives their frenzied protests.
And, Accident OddMachuggahJob, you are an idiot. Do you really think anyone is going to read all that crap? Perhaps some of your crazed minions, but not sane people.
If you're really THAT Ahmedinejad, why don't you take care of your own people before proclaiming Israel is doomed? Your country is in far worse shape than Israel than you have to distract people's attention by blaming the Jews. That won't work forever!
Tawfik Hamid is one the few moderate Arabs. You'd never know it but more Muslims have killed each other than the Zionist Jews have killed Muslims. Of course when its the former, no one cares. The Muslim World gets aroused only when its the infidels (Jews or Christians) taking up arms against Muslims.
