Winds of Change.NET HateWatch 2006-04-014
Our new HateWatch post is now online at Winds Of Change.NET
This entry's highlighted topics include extensive commentary on some of the more acute bigotry, anti-Semitism, and outright idiocy from March 2006:
A combination of unfortunate situations has prevented us from consistently posting HateWatch briefings in recent months. We apologize, and now expect to return to a more consistent schedule. This briefing will cover - albeit belatedly - trends and issues that emerged or crystallized in March 2006 and that we expect to be of continuing significance in the months to come.
* Religious Hate: Global Islamist violence; Religiously-justified degradation of women; Threats against Muslim apostates; Literally genocidal anti-gay incitement; Palestinian incitement and the international donors who fund it; Anti-Semitic incitement in the Arab press; Jews who are not so much self-loathing as just kind of anti-Semitic; Some people not sure if religiously-motivated violence on students meant to advance Islamist causes is "terrorism"; Islamists actually have read the Koran; Anti-Semitic arson in the US; Anti-Semitic humor in France and Egypt
* Idiotarian Seethings: March Cartoon Jihad roundup; Jimmy Carter still doesn't understand Islamism; The Muslim world gave us a lot of inventions - most of them a very long time ago; Generally smart conservatives go idiotarian for like a day and a half, attack Jill Carroll; Hamas won't moderate (sorry!); Mearsheimer and Walt glibness; The Academy Awards happened
* Race and Culture: Cynthia McKinney uses race-baiting to excuse her criminal violence; Yale admits Taliban member; American academy more than a little out of touch with prudence, people; Pro-immigrant activists are not very persuasive; Arab news outlet a little gullible about anti-Bush stories
* A Hopeful Note: Intellectuals issue manifestos against Islamism; Israeli-Arab soccer players refuse to boycott Denmark; Southeast Asian Muslims march against terrorism; Wafa Sultan dismantles Islamist cleric; US students agitate against Islamist intimidation; New Hampshire engages in measured, non-sectarian deliberation about gay marriage
