B"H
In it's last weekend edition, Israel's daily MAARIV published a very interesting article. The article which was a few pages long, obviously dealt with Salman Rushdie but when you had a closer look, a tremendous important question was asked.
How independent is the world and especially Europe from Islam ?
Twenty years ago, the modern free world did everything in its might to support and protect Salman Rushdie from the fanatic Mullah system in Iran. Today, however, an American or other airlines "recommend" the famous writer ("The Satanic Verses") to rather use a different airline, as they themselves don't want to get into trouble with Muslim organizations let alone being the target of terror attacks.
No, there is nothing to worry, as Rushdie still has his bodyguards and has enough plane tickets. The main concern is that more and more publishers in Europe refuse to print anything controvertial about Islam. Editors want to avoid a second Denmark.
The mass media as well as editors try to avoid too much criticism about Islam. Keep quite and don't upset the fanatic Mullahs in Iran, Afghanistan oder elsewhere.
And the public ?
The wider public obviously agrees to the "Undercover Game" and calls every rebel a racist.
Who would have imagined such a horrifying reality twenty years ago ?
