“In an article entitled "The Revival of Slavery," the Islamic State actually takes pride in being able to fulfill "The Sword Verse," which commands Muslims to "kill the idolaters wherever you find them, and capture them, and besiege them." From a Muslim point of view, the enslavement of many Yazidi families is a sensible and commendable way of serving Allah. Indeed, they are taking pride in not separating enslaved women from their children.

Yet, Europe, and now America, turns its wrath against Israel, believing the Jewish state to be the main instigator of Middle East unrest, making unrealistic demands on Israel; her people and her land.

If Israel would only accept the two-state solution, and if the Jews would only stop entering the Temple Mount, these world leaders reason then the Palestinians would give up their dream of returning to Haifa and Ashkelon, multiculturalism would flourish in Europe, human rights would be upheld and religions would coexist peacefully.

This hope, however, is baseless; nothing more than a pipe dream stemming from an arrogance that believes in the superiority of secular Western values, which include not only democracy and minority rights, but also ideas like contempt of religion, in particular the Christian faith.” Israel Today 11/11/14
