OMITTING THE ISLAMIST ELEMENT
Dear HonestReporting Subscriber,
http://www.honestreporting.com/images/montrealschool.jpg Library of United Talmud Torah school, Montreal, after Monday's attack
With an 'Iraqi intifada' gathering steam and Iraqi insurgent leader Moktada al-Sadr openly declaring an alliance (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/07/opinion/07SAFI.html?hp) with Hamas and Hizbullah, the global war on terror is becoming indistinguishable from Israel's anti-terror war. Yet while media reports on terror attacks in Madrid, Istanbul, Bali and elsewhere recognize Islamist perpetrators, reports on attacks on worldwide Jewish targets regularly omit the Islamist element.
<DIV align=left>On April 5, a few hours before the beginning of Passover, a Montreal Jewish school was firebombed (http://www.maarivintl.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=article&articleID=5685). UK Telegraph reported:</FONT></FONT>
The European Jewish Congress accused the EU watchdog of twisting data from the 15 member states to suit its own ideological bias, describing the report as a catalogue of "enormous contradictions, errors and omissions."
"We cannot let it be said that the majority of anti-Semitic incidents come from young, disaffected white men. This is in complete contradiction with the facts recorded by the police," it said.
The reason for this 'data twisting' is apparently the same reason for the shelving of another anti-Semitism study (http://www.eubusiness.com/afp/040108194302.ca06m98i) by this same organization 4 months ago - concern that Europe's large Muslim population would be 'inflamed' by its findings. Needless to say, local Muslim sensitivities should not interfere with political accountability or accurate reporting.
The Montreal school bombing is the latest effort of Islamists to strike Jewish targets worldwide: from Jerusalem to Paris, Tuninia to Kenya, North America and beyond. As this highly troubling terror wave grows, HonestReporting encourages subscribers to contact your local editors, encouraging them to publicize its growth and the Islamist source of nearly all recent anti-Jewish acts worldwide.
Thank you for your ongoing involvement in the battle against media bias.[/url]
