Muslim anti-anti-Semitism: Norwegian Muslims form human chain around synagogue

Muslims in Oslo formed a human chain around the city's main synagogue, chanting "No to anti-Semitism, no to Islamophobia." Over 1,000 people took part in the rally to show solidarity with Jews just a week after a fatal shooting in a Denmark synagogue.

Muslims in Norway, many young women, formed what they called a ring of peace, as the small Jewish congregation filed out of the synagogue after Shabbat prayers on Saturday.

The Muslim message to the Jews in Norway was simple - they mourn and stand in solidarity with the victims of increasingly instances of violence against Jews in Europe, including the terror attacks in France in January and in neighboring Denmark last week.

"This shows that there are many more peacemakers than war-makers," Zeeshan Abdullah, one of the organizers told the crowd. "There is still hope for humanity, for peace and love across religious differences and background."

The spirit of solidarity filled the air, with Norway's chief rabbi performing a traditional Shabbat ceremony outside.

"It is unique that Muslims stand to this degree against anti-Semitism and that fills us with hope...particularly as it's a grassroots movement of young Muslims," said Norway's Jewish community leader Ervin Kohn.

Just to be on the safe side, authorities, apart from ramping up the police presence, also dispatched sharp shooters around the building.

"It has been calm as we expected. We had no reason to expect any trouble but we were prepared," said police superintendent Steiner Hausvik, adding that about 1,300 people attended the vigil.

The disturbing spate of attacks against the Jewish minority in Europe prompted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to urge European Jews to immigrate to Israel if they felt unsafe. Europe's Jewish population has been steadily declining over the past seven decades after the WWII. While in 1960 it was about 3.2 million, by 2010 only 1.4 million were living there - or roughly 0.2 percent of Europe's population, according to the PEW Research Center.

Comment: The percentage of crazies is always smaller than the percentage of normal, decent people, in any population. Islamophobic and anti-Semitic propaganda is designed to get people to forget this simple fact. Unfortunately it works.

Muslims in American history Mr. President?

We should …. shake the guy's hand that wrote this...

Have you ever seen a Muslim hospital? in America

Have you heard a Muslim orchestra? " "

Have you seen a Muslim band march in a parade? " ''

Have you witnessed a Muslim charity?

Have you shaken hands with a Muslim Girl Scout?

Have you seen a Muslim Candy Striper?

The answer is no, you have not. Just ask yourself WHY ???

Barack Obama, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America 's history."

AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE

Dear Mr. Obama:

Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.

Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.

Can you show me one Muslim signature on the: United States Constitution?
Declaration of Independence ?
Bill of Rights?
Didn't think so.

Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England ? No.

Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ? No, they did not.
In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half-brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves." Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it Mr. Obama?

Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country?
Not present.

There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.

Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era?
Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they?

Where were Muslims during World War II?
They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews.

Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001?
If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East . No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news network's that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims who's asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo , Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.

And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America ....

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslims.

And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan .

Also, don't forget the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15.2013 was done by 2 Muslim Brothers. That, Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America

EVERY AMERICAN AND CANADIAN SHOULD READ THIS !!

First and plainly, what is wrong with you? You're fired up into an absolute rage over this. And it's not helping to make your point, it makes you sound like you're a frothing fanatic.

Muslim girl Scouts? Why try to throw strange cross cultural ideas that don't exist together to make, wait what was the point exactly?

That Muslims are all evil bastards? Because you can pile together a heap of crap about some Muslims doing whatever?

I don't agree with most religions' ways. But I don't judge a person who says they are religious by the things their churches, supposed leaders, and celebrity criminals do either, because churches are hierarchical power structures that we little people just live in and make the best of, in our lives and communities, because human culture is clingy for a lot of reasons. I don't see a Hitler in every Christian, but you seem to see an Osama in every Muslim, and if you read this site, you know that Osama isn't what he's been made out to be either. Or wait, nevermind, because judging by what you just said, you buy into most of the crap this site is here to expose as exactly that -- crap.

Try living up to your name. You're not just thinking, you're emotionally justifying extreme views that you've latched on to that you feel righteously correct about, and some of the things you have alluded to here have serious lack of factual evidence supporting your very righteous opinion. You have problems with the way devout, extremely conservative Muslims treat women, and yet it is in the land of the free America where rape culture is a serious uncontrollable problem. Each viewpoint has its merits, and the opposite can be made to seem utterly horrible depending on your values and attitude. You could shout your little shpiel at a Muslim, they could counter with examples just as horrible based on liberal western culture. If you were willing to listen to them as a human being, and not immediately judge their worth (as worthless) based on religious conviction alone.

Your vitriol and hate, Muslims have been experiencing this from arrogant, warlike westerners for how many decades of abuse after abuse? And you wonder why they cheer when people like them have some small victory over the empire which is rubbing their names in the mud and supporting the looniest extremists in their midst to attain local chaos and geopolitical gain. "Just think" about this -- many secular Muslim societies have developed that have been quite willing to move past ancient superstition and old ways of thought, and become more progressive. Iraq, Syria, Libya. The West swoops in and destroy them and all that is left is the caricature of the misogynist Muslim Terrorist that is all you seem able to see. Even Iran has had progressive reforms that have been sabotaged by various coups and influences, causing it to revert to the conservative mixing pot society it is today.
