Clinton Credits
January 31, 2006
Former US president Bill Clinton warned of rising anti-Islamic prejudice, comparing it to historic anti-Semitism as he condemned the publishing of cartoons depicting Prophet Mohammed in a Danish newspaper.
“So now what are we going to do? … Replace the anti-Semitic prejudice with anti-Islamic prejudice?” he said at an economic conference in the Qatari capital of Doha.
“In Europe, most of the struggles we’ve had in the past 50 years have been to fight prejudices against Jews, to fight against anti-Semitism,” he said.
Clinton described as “appalling” the 12 cartoons published in a Danish newspaper in September depicting Prophet Mohammed and causing uproar in the Muslim world.
The cartoons, including a portrayal of the prophet wearing a time-bomb-shaped turban, were reprinted in a Norwegian magazine in January, sparking uproar in the Muslim world where images of the prophet are considered blasphemous.
Comment: Has the Ex Prez considered that these same types of blasphemous remarks come on a daily basis in America? Except that they are blasphemous to Christianity. Yet the compassionate President doesn’t seem to have anything to say about that.
As far as we have fought Anti-Semitism…The Religion of the Jew is not going around the world randomly bombing and maiming people. As I mentioned in my previous post, it would be nice if some of the flock of Muslims would protest its Jihadists. Instead they lack credability for their inaction.
