Religious Hatred and Racism in Football?

Egypt's Amr Zaki refused to join a football club in England because two Israelis and one Algerian are part of that club. I engaged in the discussion (below article) and it is interesting - have a look if you want. If FIFA and UEFA won't take action against such statements that reveal religious hatred and racism, their anti-racism campaign is a joke! Let's see what the response will be... [more to follow]

Jews against Extremism London/UK

In this brilliant article on the fight against extremism, Martin Bright advocats 'an urgent need for a strategic alliance between British Jews, the anti-Islamists within the Bangladeshi community and other citizens concerned about the revival of totalitarian politics in Britain today.' Jews have a tradition to fight totalitarianism and should therefore be at the forefront of the struggle against radical Islam and neo-fascism in East London - for the sake of 'the fight against neo-fascism and radical Islam and to defend this country’s [i.e., UK] traditions of freedom and tolerance.'

Well said, well argued, well written - and concerned Christians should join Jews and moderate Muslims in the fight against fascism and radicalism. The 'enemy' is not a certain group of people, but the evil ideology that drives them. It is this ideology that needs to be dealt with - everywhere it is found, be it in the UK, Israel, or Bangladesh!

Islamic Ideology to Exstinguish Israel

In this article, it is once again clearly expressed that the Palestinian principles are to fight to the death until Israel no longer exists. Hamas will never accept a Jewish state, and is determined to even fight any agreement with Israel made by the PA (Palestinian Authority).

Analysis: actually, not much analysis is needed here, since the obvious hindrance to peace is stated clearly by Israel's enemies. They simply won't want , nor will ever accept, a Jewish state. And this is the key problem in the conflict. It's not the 'Israeli occupation,' the '1967 borders,' or the 'war crimes' against Palestinians. The root problem of the Middle East conflict - and the major hindrance to peace - is the islamic ideology to exstinguish Israel; it's an anti-Jewish, hatefilled, arrogant, inhumane ideology that can only be compared with that of Nazi Germany or the Ottoman oppression with its forced-conversions of Christians in Eastern Europe. No wonder that an anscestor of Yassir Araft was a friend of Nazi Germany and rejoiced at their treatment of Jews. Speaking of the PLO, the biggest lie here is that it was founded because Israel conquered Palestinian territory in 1967. The irony is that the PLO was founded in 1964! Its aims: to annihilate Israel. So again, the aim for the radicals is not to get Palestinian lands back, but to destroy the Jewish state - not because of its 'war crimes' or occupation, but simply because that ideology has not room for Jews but seeks islamic dominance in all things.

PA Mufti Ikrama Sabri:
Jerusalem is a symbol for every Muslim in the world. The claim of the Jews to the right over it is false, and we recognize nothing but an entirely Islamic Jerusalem under Islamic supervision...

Apart from the historical lies that Jews have not historic roots in Jerusalem and that the Quran actually never mentions Jerusalem by name, the ideology is again evident - Islam will dominate these lands and thers is no room for Jews in their ancient homeland.

Jacques Ellul:
For the conquering Islam of today, those who do not claim to be Muslims do not have any human rights recognized as such. In an Islamic society, the non-Muslim would return to their former dhimmin status [i.e., second-class citizen], which is why solving the Middle East conflict by the creation of a federation including Israel within a group of Muslim peoples or states, or in a "Judeo-Islamic" state, is a fantasy and an illusion. From the Muslim point of view, such a thing would be unthinkable.

The West is still misinformed and doesn't understand that the islamic ideology is both the root issue and the core problem. Truly, 'The Oslo peace process seems to have failed because of its pretense that the conflict is not a religious war' (Andrew Greeley). For the radicals it's all about Islam and its victory over the infidels. The Quran calls for Muslims to fight Jews. So how can Muslims obey what they see as the Word of God unless they fight Israel? And it's here where the radicals are placing more and more pressure on the moderate Muslims, and worse, on the peaceful Muslims who don't want anything else in life than to make a living and enjoy their families and life. Peace will only come once all sides recognise each other and allow the other to follow their religion and share the land in a fair way for all. As long as islamic ideology at the root of the problem is not dealt with, peace remains an illusion and bloodshed will continue.

Goldstone Report and Jewish Response in the UK

So, things are going the way the UN has been dealing with Israel for the last decades - sadly so... The major Jewish organisations have responded with their disappointment at the UK's lack of action: abstaining from the vote is really not in line with what was said about it earlier. It is alarming that the UK seems to have the same double-minded approach as in the 1920s and 1930s when it failed to establish a Jewish state which could have spared millions of Jewish lives from the Shoah (Holocaust).

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

George Santayana (American Philosopher)

Is the UK and others in that danger repetition of history - at Israel's expense (again)? Israel wants peace and security - and rightly so; every nation and people are entitled to peace and security. Yet, as former Lebanese PM said, 'They want peace and security, and they want to occupy our land. It's impossible.' So, how shall peace be established with a people who won't give in unless they get everything they seek? In plain words, peace in the Middle East can only be established once the Jewish State is abolished and Jews dispersed from their Land - again. From Osama bin Laden's camp the message is clear: 'The United States and Israel want to destroy Islam, but Islam will destroy them first.' While the former part of the sentence is untrue, the latter statement is the clear objective - explicitly stated by the radicals, and implicitly pursued by the 'moderates.'

When will the Western politicians wake up to what is really going on?
