Liberals often argue that the Islamists' hatred of Christians is explained by policies of the American government, and, likewise, their hatred of Jews has its origins in Israel's purported misdeeds. It is always worth remembering that they hate Hindus, too. The fact is, they hate pretty much everyone. It has nothing to do with us, and everything to do with them.Hinderaker is referencing the explosions that ripped through three places in New Delhi on Saturday evening within minutes of each other, killing at least 55 people -- most of them at a marketplace crowded with thousands of people getting ready for India's festival of lights. While the perpetrators have yet to be identified, I don't think there's much doubt about who did it.
This on the heels of the Iranian President's call for the extermination of the Jews in Israel.
President Ahmadinejad, elected in June, was addressing a conference in Teheran entitled "The World Without Zionism", attended by about 3,000 conservative students, who chanted: "Death to Israel!" and "Death to America!"
"The establishment of the Zionist regime was a move by the world oppressor against the Islamic world," he said. "As the Imam [the late Ayatollah Khomeini] said, 'Israel must be wiped off the map'… The Islamic world will not let its historic enemy live in ts heartland."
Or how about this lovely story about three Christian schoolgirls being beheaded?
Or how about the Beslan massacre of schoolchildren shot in the back as they ran away in terror?Or the Danish filmmaker murdered after releasing a film focused on the shameful abuse of Muslim women by Muslim men in Europe?
The question is: when will the Islamic world face its demons, stop trying to drag everyone back to the 7th century, and join civilization?

Larry,
I completely agree; this situation has got to be rectified. My fear is that, as this and other situations demand military response, America and the world will be less and less able to answer the call.
