HAaRETZ ^ | 7/22/2009 | Nathan Guttman

WASHINGTON - Efforts to bring together Jewish and Muslim communities hit another snag when an imam at a major Muslim conference gave an incendiary speech in which he said Jews were to blame for the Holocaust.

The speech came during the annual convention of the Islamic Society of North America, which was attended by rabbis who have been trying to build closer ties between Muslims and Jews.

At one of the conference's 70 sessions, Warith Deen Umar, a New York imam, spoke critically of Jews, saying that the Holocaust happened to the Jews "because they were serially disobedient to Allah." He also said that a small handful of Jews around U.S. President Barack Obama "control the world."

Some people like to play with rattlesnakes, some play with muslims, the difference is that muslims are more dangerous!

Good luck with that.

Sudden Taqiyya Syndrome (STS) is a subset of Sudden Jihad Syndrome (SJS). Collectivism is a mental disorder.

Good luck with that.

Washington Times: Rabbis, imams visit U.S. for dialogue - A group of 28 imams and rabbis from 10 European countries arrived in New York and Washington this week for whirlwind visits to interfaith centers to break new ground on Muslim-Jewish relations and combat Islamophobia and anti-Semitism in each other's communities...

People who try to bring Jews and Muslims together for interfaith peace meetings are idiots who also never read the Koran.

The Koran says the Muslims MUST kill every last Jew on earth for God to return.

How you going to make friends with THAT?!

Politicians are idiots pretending to be wise, that not only do not read the bills they vote on, but do not study their homework when playing diplomat.

Useless, pathetic prideful leaches on society. At best, and conniving, deceitful thieves and mafia thugs as a rule. And this was the PG version...>

But other than that, I'm sure the Muzzies in attendance urged each other toward tolerance and peaceful coexistence.
