MILITANT RADICAL ISLAM AND ANTI-JUDAISM
Israel has the right of self-defense. Arafat's "land for peace" is only the first step to destroying all of Israel. Arafat, when his feet are held to the fire, says he is for peace in English all the while in Arab calling for more homicide bombings. Only recently did he declare his opposition to the bombings - but he never renounced his "phased plan" to destroy all of Israel nor is peace the intent of political Islam.
Intensification of anti-Jewishness and anti-Judaism is the incitement which is crucial to political Islam. Radical, militant Muslims proclaim a GLOBAL CONSPIRACY of Judaism..
"The Jewish conspiracy is the most effective excuse and justification of Islamist leaders about the backwardness of the Muslim World -- the loss of power and economic failures vis-a-vis the West. All of these calamities, they argue, are because of a jewish-dominated global conspiracy aimed to eradicate Islam. Being a devine way of life, Islam is expected to have an answer to everything. Therefore, the troubles from which the contemporary Muslim society is suffering must be due to nonbelievers and to plots -- primarily by Zionists. Addressing these issues, attacks against Jews and Christians now appear in the neo-fundamentalist media throughout the world." [Roy Oliver, - Englist translation -> "The Failure of Political Islam", Cambridge, Harvard U Press, 1994]
Muslims attribute their failures to international Zionism and also to a lesser extent to the (Christian) WEST - which is why they also hate the U.S. They believe their failures are attributable to Western modernization and secularization.
"..A factor unifying all Islamists is the perception that there is a huge global conspiracy by the Judeo-Christian world in order to erase or eradicate Islam from teh face of the earth." [F. Hoveyda, "L 'Islam Bloque" (translated: "The Blocked Islam", Paris, Robert Laffont, 1992]
Yossef Bodansky points out that, "Indeed, throughout the Muslim World, both governments' and populist opposition to the West are expressed in religious terms--outright criticism of Judaism and Christianity--which accounts for the marked increase in anti-Semitism." [Bodansky, "Islamic Anti-Semitism as a Political Instrument", 99, Ariel Center for Policy Research, Israel]
"Furthermore, the Islamists single out the Jews as their main enemies because of the religious and political aspects of the confrontation between Jews and Muslims." [IBID]
This is a Muslim revival and Jews are the most implacable enemies of Islam. They blame all of their problems for the last 14 Centuries on the Jews. This is not a minor current in political Islam; it is a major aspect of Islam to blame the Jews not only for the prophet's death, but also for every calamity which has befallen Islam.
"Anti-Semitism serves as a major political instrument to mobilize the entire region for the destruction of Israel. The noted Egyptian journalist and confidant of numerous Arab leaders, Mohammed Heikal, stresses that the attitude toward Israel cannot be described by by an "inchoate blend of fury and revulsion". For a vast majority of Arabs, Israel is "taboo" -- the acceptance and legitimazation of which is simply inconceivable irrespective of diplomatic treaties. The current "peace process" is no different. In principle, the current state of affairs is no different from the fledgling Islamist conceptualization in the wake of the NAQBAH. Abd-Allah al-Thai, a former Jordanian General during the War of Independence, stresses that the Arab-Israeli conflict is an extension, or aspect, of the profound struggle between Judaism and Islam." [IBID]
Anti-Semitism is being used by Muslim leaders throughout the Muslim world to agitate populist, grassroots anti-Zionism and motivate suicide bombings. It is blatant and it is impossible to ignore or reverse these policies while the WEST continues to placate the Muslim world and affiliate with it. Forming coalitions with those who espouse political Islam, as all Islamic leaders do, is going to promulagate and spread their policies of hate and disdain for Jews. Even while some may admire aspects of Western modernization, leaders who have been imposed by the West are also quite aware of the populist support for militant radical Islam and the threat it holds out for these dictatorial regimes.
Anti-Jewishness and anti-Judaism will continue to grow in the Muslim world and will continue as a potent instrument of Islamic governments and Islamic religious militant organizations.
