I have placed a comment onto a post on the British website Harry´s Place. The comment is near the beginning of comments and I am certain will meet with some slanderous attacks, but the issue is very serious.
First of all the post on Harry´s place is aimed at providing a cover for Islam, the reactionary political ideology of Islam.
The world as always is divided between those who seek to tell the truth and those who hide it.
The issue of the role of Muslims in the world today cannot be separated from the ideology and political praxis of Islam. Those who are hiding the truth try to portray Islam as a mere religion and exclude from their deliberation that Islam is engaged in a political PRACTICE.
Naturally not all Muslims in the world are political reactionaries, but the point is that a goodly portion of them are, witness that no group of Muslims came forward to defend Salman Rushdie, witness also the result of polls conducted re their attitude to Israel and even to Jews in general.
blather
Whence then comes this reaction, this antisemitism.
Those who seek to hide the truth blather about “racism” and those who seek the truth of the matter take the foundational documents of Islam seriously, the Koran, Hadiths and Suras.
That indeed is what the real division is about. It is really about the scientific method.
It is very interesting to me that many of those who attack principled people like Pamela Geller anf Robert Spencer are very often also pushing the Alex Jones line on conspiracy theory. Not all, but on the Fascist Left, a goodly portion!

The posting on Harry´s Place is very “cute”. The writer makes a big fuss about “Remembrance Sunday”, the implication being that it is “disloyal” to question the Imperialist World War 1 and 2, and that you are the lowest of the low to do so. This is out of the longstanding British characteristic of social imperialism mixed with crass hypocricy.
But this premise is rapidly driven from the court by the powerful forehand (to use a tennis analogy): the American planes and the British planes overflew quite deliberately and consciously the railway lines leading to the death camps.
And as if that forehand smash is not enough there is also the drive down the middle of their defence: What about the escape of Hajj Amin el Husseini from the hangman’s rope at Nuremburg!

Or what about the American treatment of the above gentleman after the War for “liberty”. Gehlen, who was planning along with Hajj Amin el Husseini the extension of the Holocaust into Palestine, with the aid of the “Palestinian” Arabs of course, as in countries like Lithuania the locals would be used, was adopted into the American CIA
