“Muslims Are the New Jews”

As 9/11 approaches, we’re going to see more and more nauseating politically correct articles whitewashing Islamic terrorism. This one in the San Francisco Chronicle, by Matthai Chakko Kuruvila, contains a real howler by a Reed College wacademic: 9/11: Five years later - Typecasting Muslims as a Race. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

As the war on terror heads into its sixth year, a new racial stereotype is emerging in America. Brown-skinned men with beards and women with head scarves are seen as “Muslims” — regardless of their actual faith or nationality.

Law enforcement measures, politicians, religious leaders and the media have contributed to stereotyping Muslims as a race — echoing the painful history of another faith.

Muslims are the new Jews,” said Paul Silverstein, an anthropology professor at Reed College in Oregon who studies the intersection of race, immigration and Islam.

UPDATE at 9/3/06 9:10:41 am:

Meanwhile, the “old Jews” are being attacked with firebombs in Montreal: Masked man with firebomb attacks Montreal Jewish school. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

Surveillance video recovered by Montreal police shows a masked man throwing a firebomb at the door of an orthodox Jewish school in an attack early Saturday.

Police said a neighbour heard what sounded like a window breaking just after midnight and looked out to see the main entrance of the Taldos Yakov Yosef school in Outremont in flames.

In the video, the man takes a few steps toward the entrance, then steps back to throw a lighted Molotov cocktail. He removes his mask as he steps out of the video frame, but his face is not visible.

Although officials of Jewish groups disagree, police have been unwilling to declare the attack a hate crime. In the absence of graffiti or other other evidence, it is being treated as an unexplained case of arson.
