Why Is Jewish Lord Stanley Fink Treated Differently to Muslim Baroness Warsi?

Lord Stanley Fink the Jewish Tory Chief fundraiser has got himself into a spot of bother over a sponsored House of Lords dinner which appears to have breached Parliamentary rules.

Remember that other member of the House of Lords Baroness Warsi who happens to be Muslim and created a firestorm of publicity over her alleged breach of expenses rules. Why the different standard in terms of media profile between these two cases, well like it or not Muslims evidently are held to a different level of accountability.

As you will no doubt see from the inevitable comments asking why LM refers to Fink's Jewish faith, the answer is obvious because those very hypocritical individuals will have no hesitation in referring to the faith of a Muslim should she or he engage in illegality or any form of wrongdoing. However, more importantly and this is the issue LM wishes to raise those individuals largely in the UK & America pointing an accusatory hostile finger at Muslims are Jewish. There is without doubt a small but ever so vociferous element within the Jewish faith who hate Muslims so what should Muslims do about it because with others ignoring the hatred surely the responsibility rests on our shoulders to tackle this topic.

Having expressed an opinion where is my evidence, well take a look at some examples of Jewish hate towards Muslims, Pamella Geller in the US being the most notable for her vile and despicable caricature of Islam. What about the Jewish proprietor of the Daily Star and Express Richard Desmond whose anti Muslim coverage so appalled one of his journalists Richard Peppiatt that he resigned in disgust. When Roy Greenslade got into trouble for claiming that Desmond "as a Jew may have negative opinions of Muslims" LM was the first to criticise that generalisation and state it is not being a Jew that is the issue but being a Jewish extremist.

More evidence of Jewish hate towards Muslims, how about the BBC programme showing the influence Jewish extremists had on Geert Wilders whose hatred of Islam was inculcated while on trips to Israel. In addition how about Melanie Phillips who writes a book called "Londonistan" and is feted as a mainstream serious commentator who gets widespread TV coverage and invites to attend Question Time. Interestingly while some use anti zionism as a cover for anti semitism the same applies to those who use the term "Islamism" as a cover for Islamophobia.

LM could continue by highlighting the insidious role some extreme Jewish politicians are playing in fermenting hatred towards Muslims or the Jewish EDL but hopefully with the evidence above rather than just an opinion you will begin to accept and even acknowledge a growing hostility aimed at Muslims by Jewish extremists. The problem has become so widespread that Independent Jewish Voices held a spirited public meeting on the issue of Jewish Islamophobia and Muslim anti semitism.

In view of the above and back to my rather rhetorical question what should Muslims do and how should we react towards hate directed at us by some of our Jewish cousins? Frankly LM accepts I don't have all the answers although I'm unwilling to accept the argument by some within the Muslim community who argue if you cant beat them (ie Jewish extremists) through rational argument and debate, why not join them by emulating their tactics. That logic leads to communal War which LM will have no truck with although still leaves open my unanswered question about how we should react to the hatred.
