Newsweek and Islam

The Seeker: Let Muhammad Ali, not bin Laden, represent Islam in America. Osama bin Laden was an absolute embarrassment to all decent Muslims. Unlike the proud warrior known as the Prophet Muhammad, bin Laden was a cowardly killer of unarmed women and children. People like Muhammad Ali (a great warrior during his time) promote Islam as a respectable religion of peace. This was a common representation before the atrocities of 9/11. Since then blood, savagery and ignorance has tarnished the image.

A frat at a UNC campus has won the right to discriminate against Jews (1, 2, via Atrios). I bet the David Project won’t touch this. For them it’s only anti-Semitism if Muslims or Arabs do it.
