Despite how paranoid it may seem to others, I understand why it bothers Alouette, so I’m going to have to risk annoying my liberal friends here.

If you go to Google Images and type in “Muslim” or “Jew” you’ll be immediately confronted with an avalanche of negative images. Those of you who aren’t Jewish or Muslim may not even notice them because they’re so pervasive, but for us each one is like a little stab in the heart.

I think it’s worse for Jews. I’m certain I’d be 10 times more sensitive about negative imagery WRT to my religion if relatives as recent as a generation or two ago had been gassed & shoveled into ovens while the world stood by doing nothing for years.

Alouette’s not accusing anyone here of being an anti-Semite for disagreeing with her, so how about we cut her a little slack on the SJS thing? Or not. I can’t tell you guys what to do, and I’m not going to fight with anyone about this—all I can tell you is how it feels as a Muslim to see stuff like that and ask you to stand in Alouette’s shoes for a minute.

Have a good night, everyone.
