We’ve watched, over the last several days as Muslims in the US have protested the Israeli response to blatant attacks by Hamas against Israeli civilians. Last night, protesters in London<\/a> and Paris<\/a> turned violent. In London, they scuffled with police, in Paris they torched private property. <\/p>\n

I wrote the other night about a Muslim man who attacked a Jewish immigrant, injured a police officer and walked away from the incident scot-free, apparently. Can the violence we’ve seen in Europe be far away in this country as well? Well, here’s my question to all of the Muslims who think they have a legitimate complaint. Leaving aside the specifics of your allegations against Israel, and considering only your passion and commitment, why are you still here?<\/p>\n

If you feel so impassioned about the plight of Palestinians, why aren’t you sneaking into the Gaza Strip to fight the Israelis? Sure the Israelis and Egyptians have a blockade in place but that didn’t stop al Qaeda from infiltrating into Iraq from Syria and Iran, did it? The West Bank shares a border with Jordan – there’s a way to get into the fight.<\/p>\n

Why isn’t Iran sponsoring arms shipments into Gaza like they did to Hezbollah in Lebanon? Why haven’t they airdropped weapons and troops into Gaza? They have the inclinations and the means. They haven’t even offered to supply Palestinians with medical supplies. <\/p>\n

But most importantly, why aren’t these youths in Europe and the US streaming back into Gaza to help Hamas? The simple answer is; they’re cowards. Just like Hamas is cowardly and prefers to fire missiles at civilians randomly than to face an army of legitimate combatants in a head-to-head battle.<\/p>\n

And that’s why they riot; they’re cowards. They know that no matter what they do in the West, at the end of the day, they’ll still be alive and they go home to watch TV and decompress from their antics. few will end up in jail over night and released the next day, no matter who and how many they’ve injured, no matter how much private property they’ve destroyed. There’s no downside for them.<\/p>\n

If they go to Gaza, they might get shot by Israelis, or Hell, they might be shot by Hamas (like 75 members of Fatah were shot by Hamas<\/a> just before the Israeli incursion). Besides, in the West, they’ve got ANSWER thugs telling them how brave they are to march a few hundred yards in the cold. No downside.<\/p>\n

In other words, the Muslims in the West are too lazy, too cowardly, too selfish to actually act on what they claim they believe in. It’s much easier to engage in theater than to engage youself in the process. Muslims in the West are giant pussies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
