The Muslims have pronounced their verdict. The cartoon man has
been found guilty. The real crime is, of course, not being a
Muslim. Now that they have established the crime, they have also
pronounced the sentence. Even if you never saw or heard of the
cartoon, you deserve to be hit with rocks, your car wrecked, and
your embassies destroyed because you are an infidel — and
incidentally, there are no appeals. There was even television
coverage of a Muslim religious leader screaming in some
unintelligible language. However, on the bottom of the screen the
translation appeared. This religious leader was shouting that
whoever drew the cartoon should have his hands cut off. This hardly
seems for us to be a reasonable penalty for somebody taking a piece
of paper, picking up a pen, and drawing something.
Could you picture a Jew doing something like this? Ironically,
the cartoonists were not even condemning Islam, they were merely
creating a satire of a terrorist. They weren’t insulting their
religion, they were satirizing a fanatic. But, the Muslims have
decided that there are no laws, limits, or boundaries that apply to
their behavior. They not only have the right to take your life,
they now have the right to rob you of your freedom of
expression.
Could you picture a Jew killing anybody for such meaningless
reasons? If a Jew gets mad he might sneak into your house and steal
your lipitor or he would make a deal with your doctor to lie about
your cholesterol number, or just when you have fasted a whole day
on Yom Kippur when you finally could eat you would find that he
snuck into your house and stole all your pastrami sandwiches.
I never saw a Jew going into meaningless fights. That is why you
seldom see Jewish football players. A Jew is not going to take a
chance in spraining his neck or tearing a ligament in his knee or
wrinkling his clothes just because he was fighting with somebody
about catching a ball. He would rather go to a store and buy
another ball and avoid the whole problem. That is why there are
also no Jewish hockey players. Hockey players spend all their time
hitting each other in the mouth with sticks. When Jews saw how
Gentiles played hockey that is how Jews found out that instead of
becoming a hockey player they would become dentists, and that way
they decided to let other people play the game while they found a
way to make a profit from it.
Jews are never known to get into unnecessary physical battles.
That is why people are never afraid of being attacked by a Jew. Did
you ever hear anybody say, “Don’t go into that neighborhood it is
very dangerous, there are a lot of Jews there?” Jews have for so
long been accustomed to being threatened and persecuted all over
the world that they could never dream of creating needless violence
anywhere because they would be grateful to even find a place where
they are allowed to live in peace. Jews could never dream of
threatening innocent people with inexcusable violence. Meanwhile
the rest of the world is reacting to the Muslims with an amazing
cowardice. Instead of a collective fury, we are pleading for
forgiveness, and promising not to offend them with any more
cartoons. Could anything be more perverted? The same people who are
not offended by suicide bombers and terrorist killings, murder,
mayhem, and destruction around the world have now decided that a
cartoon… “OY VEY IS THIS TERRIBLE!”
Everyday Muslim and European newspapers insult and degrade Jews
as animals and rodents, which is not only insulting but,
additionally, encourages the hatred of Jews. But did you ever hear
any Jewish authority anywhere demanding that we find any of these
cartoonists so that we can choke them to death or cut them up. Did
you ever hear of an Israeli death squad searching for a cartoonist?
If the Jewish people applied the same insult standard requiring a
death sentence no Muslim would be safe now, anywhere in the world.
Could you picture a Jew deciding that he has the right to
kill but you have no right to draw an insulting
picture?
Nobody has ever died from a cartoon. If the worst thing the
Nazis ever did had been to draw cartoons of death camps instead of
putting Jews in them, six million Jews would be alive today. When
was the last time any country decided to kill a Muslim anywhere in
the world because they felt insulted? But the Muslims have created
a new international law called the “insult law.” This means they
have the right to kill you whenever they please, and you have no
right to do anything about it. If a Muslim were walking down a
street in Israel with a picture of an insulting cartoon in hand, no
Israeli would threaten his life. They would be too busy celebrating
the fact that it was a cartoon and not a bomb.
