Dear sir;
What a discrimination! Last week over 100 innocent men, women and children were killed in Afghanistan
by an American attack. The president of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai visiting The
United States at the time, did not condemn the tragedy. The writer of this
letter was in London this week and was surprised to learn that this tragedy did
not make it to any front page in any of the English newspapers. While a day
after the tragedy the headlines of the London Times discussed the terminating
of television show, the Afghan tragedy was detailed on page 31. The
Independent also related to the tragedy on an internal page. The Independent
however, did add an article by Robert Fisk, whose anti Israeli approach is
consistent and could not be more extreme, analyzes the tragedy – how else? but
- in comparison to Israel’s crimes in Gaza. He ends his article by asking
how is it that all the victims are always Muslim?
Mr. Fisk whose book The Great War of Civilization about the wars in the Middle East is a brutal attack on Israel while treating Bin Laden with gloves, forgot that the root of all terror in the last 40 years is Extreme Arab. As one autobiographer of Yasser Arafat put it, “to talk about world terrorism without mentioning the PLO is like talking about the blood circulation without talking about the heart”. All terror groups around the world, from the 60’s to the 90’s (such as the German Beidr Meinhopf, the Italian Red Brigade, the Japanese Liberation Army, the Basques in the north of Spain and the Irish IRA] all – without exception - exercised in the refugee camps in Lebanon. All terror acts in the last years were originated in the extreme Islam, Every traveler – evidently but Mr. Fisk - who goes through security at airports knows that the measures are to protect travelers against Islamic Terror.
There is no other terror actually threatening the world today. Therefore, the war against terror is the war against extreme Islam. Only an “expert” like Robert Fisk can “forget” that the victims of 9/11 were not Muslims, that the victims in the busses in Israel were not Muslims, the victims in London were not Muslims the victims in Bali and Japan were not Muslims, and thereof ask why are Muslims always the victims.
