The Muslim "celebration" of Ashoura where paritipants beat their self inflicted wounds.
The mad leading the blind ignorant.
We in the West seem to put up with this sort of shite because it is their democratic right to be offensive and law breaking just because Israelis are standing up for themselves in their land against an oppressive, murderous bunch of knuckle draggers who want to see you wiped from the face of the earth.
Its a bizarre state of affairs to see the head of the Mad Muslims in Britain expect an apology from Prince Harry for calling a friend a "rag head" and fail to even whisper a word against his compatriots in Gaza when they purposefully kill innocent Israelis, and a few thousand Americans die on Sept 11, 2001 because of a hatred of things American and criticism of it seems as scarce as a Muslim with a penchant to eat pork with a Jewish mate.
This whole sorry state of affairs is best encapsulated in the best seller from Mark Steyn, American Alone: The End of the World as We Know it.
This following excerpt from his book is a good conclusion to this post:
But you never know: It might be that we're the plankton. "Our enemies are small worms," Adolf Hitler told his generals in August 1939. "I saw them at Munich." In Europe today, as in the thirties, the political class prostrates itself before an insatiable force that barely acknowledges the latest surrender before moving on to the next invented grievance.
Indeed, a formal enemy is all but superfluous to requirements. Bomb us, and we agonize over the "root causes." Decapitate us, and our politicians rush to the nearest mosque to declare that "Islam is a religion of peace." Issue bloodcurdling calls at Friday prayers to kill all the Jews and infidels, and we fret that it may cause a backlash against Muslims. Behead sodomites and mutilate female genitalia, and gay groups and feminist groups can't wait to march alongside you denouncing Bush and Blair. Murder a schoolful of children, and our scholars explain that to the "vast majority" of Muslims "jihad" is a harmless concept meaning "healthy-lifestyle low-fat granola bar." Thus the lopsided valse macabre of our times: the more the Islamists step on our toes, the more we waltz them gaily round the room.

I will be posting more excerpts from his book as the madness in the Middle East and in the "Muslim World" globally continues.
It is worth a read in the light of the latest Muslim attacks.

I'm constantly disappointed by the West's weakness in the face of the hypocrisy that you rightly point out.
