Today yet another so-called Mideast Peace Summit begins. It’s been a few years since a U.S. President has attempted to see something like this through, but it hasn’t been long enough that I have forgotten the previous results and so I will go out on a limb here today *coughs* and predict the outcome.
Nothing good.
A couple of weeks ago I proposed the “radical idea” of using boycott as a way of peacefully marginalizing the Islamic community in Western nations and forcing it towards a reckoning with itself. Well, today is finally time for me to put forth the call to the Blogosphere and request suggestions for companies that should be targets of this boycott.
Ex-Mossad chief urges West to unite, warns of Muslims imposing ideology. From WorldNetDaily.com:
JERUSALEM — Global civilization is on the verge of “World War III,” a massive conflict in which the Islamic world will attempt to impose its ideology on Western nations, according to Meir Amit, a former director of Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency.
Amit, one of the most esteemed figures in the international defense establishment, warned Islamic nations and global Islamist groups will continue launching “all kinds of attacks” against Western states. He urged the international community to immediately unite and coordinate a strategy to fight against the “Islamic war.”
A frontpage story in Sunday’s New York Times, OFFICIALS DETAIL A DETAINEE DEAL BY 3 COUNTRIES, once again shows the utter lack of outrage from the rest of the world when accusations of torture are focused at an Islamic nation. Why? Because it is as common as leaves on a tree, that’s why. And because it is only the Western nations, and especially the United States of America, that are put on such a pedestal for good behavior — not out of any respect from Third World nations but out of contempt and fear and jealousy.
