Bradley Burston wrote a great column for the Haaretz about Muslims killing Muslims and the way Israelis / Jews deal with it. I’d like to broaden the debate and ask, why do we, Westerners, not speak out when Muslims are killing Muslims? Why do so many Westerners remain silent, or shrug their shoulders?

Quote: “This is what we should have been taught: Violations of human rights are violations of human rights, regardless of the cultural background of the perpetrator, regardless of the background of the victim…
In the end, those of us who excuse Muslim fanatics their outrages against their own, those of us who explain away their crimes by blaming them on the West, or on ourselves, are guilty of racism as well.

We are saying, in effect, that they cannot be considered responsible for their actions, as would any other human being.”
