Time To Change Priorities? Naw..Why Should They?

Maybe it's time to change priorities.

Islamic States account for the world's highest child mortality rates, where 60 per cent of children who die from disease and malnutrition never make it to their first birthday, according to a joint report released today by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).

Primary school attendance is very low in OIC nations, with more than half the adult population illiterate, and sometimes 70 per cent of women unable to read and write.

It's hard to see how calls to 'Slaughter the Jews!' and 'Slaughter the Christians' are what takes priority. Just a thought.

An August 29, 2005 program on Saudi Iqra TV was devoted to supporting Jihad in Palestine. The program host began by telling all Saudis that they must donate and explained how to do so.

Apparently, our 'friends and partners' in the war on terror don't seem too concerned with the plight of Muslim children, either. When it comes to choosing between a dead Jew and a dead Muslim, our 'friends and partners' make the choice easily.

"The Prophet said: 'He who equips a fighter – it is as if he himself fought.' You lie in your bed, safe in your own home, and donate money – and Allah credits you with the rewards of a fighter...

Lovely.

And what do the residents of the Ivory Tower find important? An academic boycott of Israel, of course! We've had plenty to say on that, here.

There is a boycott of university exchanges with Israeli institutions, instigated by the AUT (Association of University Teachers) of Great Britain. The boycott has generated a lot of controversy and press. The AUT says the boycott is an expression of anti Israel sentiment- that is, anti-Zionism- relating to the 'occupation' and is in no way an expression of anti-semitism. That of course, is ridiculous. The entire supposition is based on a lie. This particular expression of Anti-Zionism is indeed anti-semitism.

What comes to mind is the utter hypocrisy and duplicity of these AUT academics. Where was the boycott of Russian universities, considering the atrocities in Chechnya? Where is the boycott of Kuwait after the expulsion of 350,000 Palestinians? Where is the boycott of Syria, after the slaughter of 10,000-30,000 in Hama and the occupation of Lebanon? How about boycotting China for human right's abuses that are legendary? How about Castro's Cuba?
