…Last Wednesday JPost hard copy reported that several southern California mosques held prayers in support of the ten students at UC Irvine going on trial for their behavior in February of last year, 2010, during a speech by Israeli ambassador Michael Oren.

The technique was just on display the other night at the Albert Hall in London where Zubin Mehta was conducting the Israeli Philharmonic. When he gave the downbeat on a movement on a new piece some antiJews in the audience would jump up and start bellowing about the racist, fascist, imperialists in Israel, only to be hustled out by security. And they did this serially through the evening.

Well, at UC Irvine they did the same thing. One at a time, every few minutes, one would stand up and Jew-bait with their words, smearing the Holy Land’s representative, claiming he had stolen the Holy Land from the Ancient Ones, or words to that effect.

Anyway those ten arrested that day are now going to trial and south California mosques are supporting in them their prayers, which is another reason why Islam must be outlawed in all liberal democracies because as suggested before it is the religion tribesman, gangsters, subcivilized barbarians who don’t understand the rules of civilized behavior in a self-governing democracy of free people. In a university especially, the free and peaceful exchange of ideas that clash are the life-blood of the life of the mind.

But Islam, again, means submission, which is the antithesis of the liberty that fired the rebels in Colonial America and a few years later in France during the revolution there where fraternite and égalite (which may be incompatible, but don’t tell that to the French) and liberte were the watchwords.

That OIC conference in Istanbul co-chaired by Lady Hillary was about, for its participants, if not her, suppressing criticism of Islam. And here at Irvine was an attempt to suppress the right of a Jew to make the case for his people.

It is not an accident of history that across the vast expanse Islam’s officially 56 nation-states, none one of them is a democracy free people would want to live in. This is no coincidence.

And there is no irony but deep meaning in the hated of Islam for Jews whose seminal national saga is about the emancipation of slaves.

This is a religion where the name Abdel or Abdallah is common. And both mean “slave of G-d.”

Avraham Avinu did all he was told by HaShem but not because he was slave. But because of his clarity of vision and hence high intelligence. He saw the miracle of creation all around him, and knew it was the Creator talking to him. Only a fool would not listen…
