Do you think the Jews are responsible for Muslim violence?


Who is responsible for Muslim violence? Anyone but Muslims.
When Howard W.
Gutman, Obama's ambassador to Belgium, told his audience
that Jews should be
accepting responsibility for the violence practiced
on them by Muslims,
because it's their own damn fault for insisting 
on having a Jewish state,
the State Department wasn't willing to stand
behind his words, but

pt-in-the-white-house/2011/12/06/gIQAm2OHZO_blog.html> 
neither did it
disavow him.



Imagine for a moment if Howard W. Gutman had 
adjusted his red hipster
glasses and told his audience that Muslims 
should take responsibility for
Islamic terrorism . Hillary would have personally
fired him, after yelling
at him for a good thirty minutes, and Obama would
have issued an apology to
the Muslim world. Every newspaper column on both
sides of the Atlantic would
have spent the better part of the week denouncing 
Islamophobia and clucking
over how mainstream intolerance has become.

The idea that Jews should take responsibility 
for the Muslim violence
directed at them is mainstream, but the notion 
that Muslims should be taking
responsibility for Islamic terrorism, even to
the extent of condemning it is
still one of those No-Go Zones. But is it more 
of a stretch to suggest that
people should take responsibility for their own
violence or for the violence
directed at them?

This week there has been another related 
controversy when the Republican
Jewish Coalition failed to invite Ron Paul
to its forum. Ron Paul has
repeatedly blamed American foreign policy
for Al-Qaeda terrorism. He even
described the original World Trade Center 
bombing as a "retaliation". In
Paul's mind every act of Muslim violence 
against us is a response to some
original sin that we committed against them.

Paul's view is common on the left which calls
every attack an opportunity
for us to engage in deep soul searching until
we can finally understand why
Muslims hate us. But if we were to suggest 
that the next time our bombers
fly over one of their cities, it's an 
opportunity for Muslims to engage in
some soul searching and work out why that
sort of thing keeps happening,
that's another one of those completely
inappropriate suggestions.

When Americans die, it's blowback. When 
Muslims die, it's more imperialistic
warmongering by the running dog lackeys of
the new world order. Muslims are
responsible for nothing. We are to blame 
for everything. For what we do and
for what they do.

Muslims are never told that a domestic
policy discriminating against women
and minorities, and a foreign policy based 
on supporting terrorists and then
lying about it, might be causing them some 
blowback. Blowback is only for
the CIA or the Mossad, it's never for the 
ISI or the Mukhbarats (who as we
all know are pawns of the CIA and the Mossad anyway).

To the far left and the far right, 
Muslims are our abused stepchildren. If
they act out, then it's because we didn't 
treat them the right way. If we
had then we would have peaceful relations 
with them in accordance with the
philosophies of progressive globalism or 
free market isolationism or
platonian psychorealism.

Instead of treating Muslim civilizations 
as separate societies with their
own concerns and priorities apart from us,
Western liberals view Muslims as
mirrors of their own society, identifying 
their anger as a symptom of some
fault within ourselves. It never occurs to 
them that Muslim terrorism isn't
a knee jerk response, it's an affirmative 
action carried out to promote the
spread of their way of life. That it's a 
quasi-religious act with deep roots
in Islamic history long predating the modern 
Western state.

The breadth of Islamic imperialism makes 
European imperialism look small and
silly. Muslims ruled over major portions of
Africa, Asia and the Middle East
in places that Europeans rarely ventured for
centuries. Islam conquered and
held on to far more territory than Alexander
or Rome, only the British
Empire came anywhere close to its scope and
did not manage to rule for a
fraction of the time or convert as much of
the native populace.

Talking about Islamic imperialism as if it 
were some sort of reflex reaction
to Western support for the Shah or arms 
sales to Israel is so hopelessly
stupid that it beggars belief, particularly 
when historians assert such a
ridiculously narrow view of history. 
We might as well pretend that China is
expanding its reach because it's angry over
the Opium War or jet fighter
sales to Taiwan.
