It is always interesting to watch the world rise up in condemnation against Israel as she tries to defend herself against a worldwide effort to literally destroy her while atrocity after atrocity in the Muslim world goes unnoticed.
On Friday, gunmen and bombers launched simultaneous attacks against mosques in the eastern city of Lahore, Pakistan. Eighty worshipers were killed.
Why did it happen? It happened because the mosques belonged to a minority sect of Islam, the Ahmadi sect. This sect is rejected by the majority Sunnis over a dispute on who the legitmate successor to the Prophet Mohammed should be. So, just like the wars between Sunni and Shia, the Ahmadis in Pakistan must be killed.
However, you won't see this issue taken up by the UN. You won't see any mention of it by CAIR. Nor will you hear much discussion and analysis in our universities. God forbid that anyone in our universities would suggest a divestment from Pakistan.
"Tell us, professor; why do Muslims kill each other all over the world?"
Of course, many will answer that centuries or millenia ago, Christians and Jews killed each other over religion. Ever hear about the Inquisition or the Crusades?
That is all true, but those things happened well, centuries or millenia ago. This is happening now. I had hoped that Friday's incident might spark a world-wide discussion-in the interest of all including Muslims. However, the Israeli raid on the Free Gaza flotilla has now taken center stage.
How convenient.

Read the Chicago Islam Examiner. He explains what happened rather well.
These Muslim jihadists are behind the times. Christians stopped doing this kind of thing to each other about 400 years ago.
