The double standards of the West and the Christians and Jews, and their selective grief and outrage, cannot be more glaring.

It’s not the authorities who are going to get rid of them…it’s us. “Terrorists are terrorists. They have no religion and they don’t represent any religion”.
In this Monday, November 16, 2015 photo, evidence cards sit in the yard of a house near the Baitul Aman mosque in South Meriden, Conn., where police and the FBI were investigating reports of multiple gunshots fired at the mosque.
Canada will “make every effort to apprehend any perpetrator”, he said. “I don’t think we’re at war with all Muslims”, Hillary Clinton said at the debate.
At the Paris Grand Mosque, a man named Kaddour said French Muslims “don’t have to make excuses” for the massacre.
MUSLIMS in Bristol have reacted angrily to claims that one in five followers of Islam in the United Kingdom have sympathy for those who have fled the country to fight for terror organisation ISIS. And it is very important – and I was glad to see this was affirmed again and again by the G20 – that we do not close our hearts to these victims of such violence and somehow start equating the issue of refugees with the issue of terrorism.
The southern port city of Marseille saw anti-Muslim attack in which a veiled woman was punched and slashed with a box cutter as she left the subway, the Interior Ministry said.

“I’m sure this plays very well to ISIS’s play book”, Jacobsen said of the US and Europe’s growing resistance to refugees.
British newspapers calling for a special response from Muslims also seem to overlook the fact that more Muslims have died at the hands of Isis than non-Muslims. “Austrians are more helpful to Muslims than ever”.
Therefore, I say with logic and evidence that the religious war is nonexistent, and the fight with ISIS will only cease to exist once a widespread revolutionary ideological warfare is engaged against them. “We are telling people not to cede to provocation”.
It might be worth flipping through Alexis de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America” to reflect what societal attributes impressed the French philosopher about American democracy: It was the American civil society.
The mosque search in Brest, on the far northwestern tip of France, followed a pledge by the government to shut down mosques that preach hate. We have the responsibility of fighting against ignorance and spreading acceptance.
This fear of what is different has lead to widespread racism against Middle Eastern and Muslim people, French citizens or not.
