You're right, Wolfgang. Amos is neither dumb nor racist.

The article that opens this thread, unfortunately, is both. The following paragraph alone makes it so:

The problem is that the vast silent majority of these Moslems are not part of the terror and of the incitement but they also do not stand up against it. They become accomplices, by omission, and this applies to political leaders, intellectuals, business people and many others. Many of them can certainly tell right from wrong, but are afraid to express their views.

Let's rephrase it and see what kind of response it engenders:

The problem is that the vast silent majority of these Jews did not massacre civilians at Qibia (substitute any other atrocity committed by the Israeli government here) but they also did not stand up against it. They become accomplices, by omission, and this applies to political leaders, intellectuals, business people and many others. Many of them can certainly tell right from wrong, but are afraid to express their views.
