Hezbollah calls for prosecution over "The Diary of Anne Frank"

Hezbollah and its supporters know how dangerous this book is to their movement because it successfully portrays Jews in all their humanity.

Islamists have a tenuous hold on thinking, feeling Muslims because they rule by fear: fear of Allah's wrath, fear of retribution by other Muslims, fear of the other (especially Jews).

The Islamists themselves rightly fear that their totalitarian, fundamentalist house of cards will begin to collapse when Muslims read Anne Frank's diary and realize they can relate to the gifted young writer's struggles and mourn her cruel death; when they realize that hatred and murder are self-perpetuating and that each Muslim has the power within himself to break that cycle.

"Al-Manar, the television station of Lebanon's Hezbollah, has lashed out at the distribution of Anne Frank's Diary in Lebanon and called on the Lebanese authorities to prosecute those responsible for 'the distribution and import of the book.' The channel said copies of the book have been distributed 'illegally' in several schools in Beirut.

“'The book focuses on the persecution of Jews during the war, but even more dangerous is the theatrical and dramatic method employed to narrate the diaries in an emotional way,' the channel's commentator said on October 29. The comments have also been posted on Al-Manar‟s Arabic-language Web site.

"Naeem Qal'ani, a lawyer who chairs the Hezbollah-backed 'Committee for the Boycott of Zionist Goods' in Lebanon, told Al-Manar: 'This act is definitely punishable under the penal code and the dealers and importers of the book will certainly be prosecuted. It's a flagrant violation of the law and is a move towards normalization [with Israel]. The general prosecutor's office must take action immediately for this is a criminal act.'”

"CAIR Exposed"

Phyllis Chesler writes:

"P. David Gaubatz and Paul Sperry, with the help of Gaubatz’s son Chris, who went undercover, have published an important, perhaps even an explosive and sensational book which exposes the Muslim-Brotherhood connected Council on American-Islamic Relations, otherwise known as CAIR.

"The book is carefully researched and far too detailed for any one reviewer to summarize in a single review.

"The authors dub CAIR and other similar groups, the Muslim Mafia in America; indeed, the title of their book is: Muslim Mafia. Inside the Secret Underworld That’s Conspiring to Islamize America. They document CAIR’s foreign funding sources, ties to fundamentalists and terrorists, (including the Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda), CAIR’s legally aggressive tactics which are meant to censor free speech as well as the truth about Islamic jihad and fundamentalism in the name of alleged 'Islamophobia'—and of course, their brazen lies."

There's a CAIR Canada, too (lucky us); I don't know if they're mentioned in the book.

Along with these. Maybe I should organize a riot after church on Sunday, bomb a building, burn some cars, behead someone, demand respect, file human rights complaints in several provinces, insist the store owner and employees attend sensitivity training...

Oh, wait, Christianity really is a religion of peace. Never mind.
