Thread Name: BS: Mudcat Anti-semitism
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Anti-semitism
Your point being... (?)

We all know that Muslim fundamentalism is a dangerous thing. Being against it, if you're a Canadian or an American or a western European, is like saying you think that Hitler was an evil man and the Nazis were dangerous to the world. Yeah, okay...we all agree on that. Now what?

No one in the West is afraid to criticize Muslim extremism. People in the West, however, ARE afraid to openly criticize Israeli policy, because they expect to be singled out as "Anti-Semitic". It's a catch-all demonization term, used to muzzle legitimate criticism.
