Islam outside the UK: religion of peace? – RichardDawkins.net

I’d like you to watch this 23-minute video to see how Islamic media deals with the Jews when it’s not even minimally constrained by having to operate within a Western country.
These clips, compiled by the Middle East Media Research Institute, come from various Arab television stations. They are sickening, especially so when children are made to parrot the hatreds of their elders. The old saw that Jews mix the blood of goyim into their Passover matzos is given big play has anyone ever wondered why those matzos never seem to be red?, and even the Holocaust is justified with glee. Peter Singer’s expanding circle of morality seems to have missed some parts of the world. Can anyone believe that even a two-state solution in the Middle East will quell this virulent anti-Semitism? Several announcers in fact state that wouldn’t happen.
As Anthony Grayling has stressed, this is how religion behaves when it’s not on the back foot. New Trends in Arabic Anti-semitism from Henrik Clausen on Vimeo. Presenting this stuff is not fomenting Islamophobia: it’s simply shining a light on a squalid and not so tiny corner of that faith that many people would prefer to ignore.
