Muslim Intolerance, Leftist Jew-Hatred

Recently, an army of Syrian terrorists attacked Druze communities along the Syrian border with Israel. The Druze are peaceful people, but the Syrians, many of whom were ISIS and al Qaeda holdovers, perpetrated mass slaughter on these people nonetheless until the Israelis bombed the Syrians to smithereens.

Alan Joseph Bauer at Townhall.com asks the question, "Why would the ISIS and al-Qaeda guys in army fatigues go after the Druze, who seem like such nice people?" His answer is that Muslims tolerate nobody.

He goes on to explain,

In Europe, emboldened Muslims will tell locals not to walk their dogs in their neighborhoods. They will tell women to cover themselves, even if these women are Christians and have no relationship whatsoever with them. They will prevent alcohol from being moved through their areas.

Islam as a religion and political movement does not favor compromise with or respect for other religions and peoples. Whereas the UAE shows incredible tolerance for other faiths, those [countries] associated with Iran, Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood express a chauvinism that is not Kumbaya.

They want to take it all, they respect no alternative religion or way of life. One can find many videos online of alien Muslims harassing European women on the street, on buses, and on trains. There is no respect there. There is no consideration or thought that the host culture, while different, is worthy of respect.

Just opening X now revealed Muslim youths attacking German boys at a mall in Germany for no particular reason. So on that matter, they are equal opportunity haters: they hate the Jews, Christians, Druze, other Muslims who don’t think like them (Sunni vs. Shia), etc. In the mind of the Syrian terrorists ... the Druze need to be dealt with like the Alawites a few months ago.

Some people might object that their Muslim friends don't fit Bauer's description, and that may be true, but in America Muslims are still largely in the minority. Their intolerance will grow as their numbers increase. Those who hold to a more moderate form of Islam, or are secular, will find themselves eclipsed by the fundamentalists who see it as a religious duty to convert the infidel or, failing that, to kill him.

The more radical and ideological a group is the more likely it is that they will ascend to power and influence. Bauer goes on to show how the larger society, at least on the left, is cowed by the radical Muslim minority and how their cowardice has engendered in them a species of Jew-hatred:

So we live in a very confusing age. There are times when one has to listen to women as per Me Too; there are other times when women are completely ignored or blamed for the horrors they experienced. There are good genocides that you don’t discuss and bad genocides that you have to protest for endless months on the university green.

How can a poor person figure out when to be on which side? Here is a simple cheat sheet: if the event makes the Jews look good, just look the other way. If it makes the Jews look bad, pile on.

Israeli women violated and murdered [on 10/7]. Nothing. Palestinians being bombed in a war to get rid of Hamas: Genocide! Israel saves Druze in Syria from ISIS and al-Qaeda ...: not a word about genocide as Israel would look good. The left either went quiet on Iran or came out on the side of the mullahs.

Jew hatred is the guiding principle of the left. The fact that Israel saved a religious minority from a murderous government gets the Jews no credit points. Israel made a smart move to strengthen an important minority group and help stabilize its northern border.

Israel is thinking about its future and not the headlines in a hateful Western press.

If anyone should think Bauer overstates the case he or she might listen carefully to the words of the Muslim Zohran Mamdani who will probably be the next mayor of New York City and who refuses to condemn calls to "globalize the intifada," which, given the history of previous intifadas, means killing Jews everywhere one finds them.
