Perhaps I’m just reading the wrong blogs, but I must say that I’m quite dismayed at how many of them seem obsessed with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and seem to take a vehemently pro-Israel anti-Arab/Islam/Palestinian (invariably and indistinguishly lumped together as one) stance. (This is NOT to say that I take the opposite stance, for I don’t. In fact I find the issue much too complicated and quite frankly I feel a bit too removed from it to take any stance other than a seemingly vain longing for peace).
Just to take one very mild by comparison quote at random, “Coupled with massive immigration from Middle Eastern countries, we are seeing either the beginning of the fall of Europe, or, as I believe, a rebellion against the fall of Europe.” (My italics added). This sentence is actually from a post about Pim Fortuyn and the recent Dutch parlimentary elections, a not coincidental association if you ask me.
At any rate, I’m fast growing tired of reading terms like “Islamofacism” or “Islamocreeps” thrown around freely on these sites. A site like Little Green Footballs, which rates high mentions on many blogs I’ve come across, I find particularly odoriferous, especially if one is brave and starts to read the user comments as well as the posts.
