How to get the New York Times to profile you (hagiographically): "Knowledge has released me from this backward thinking"...Her views caught the ear of the American Jewish Congress, which has invited her to speak in May at a conference in Israel. "We have been discussing with her the importance of her message and trying to devise the right venue for her to address Jewish leaders," said Neil B. Goldstein, executive director of the organization." Now why is the AJC interested all of a sudden in Sultan? Is it because her schtick is: "why are Muslim backwards? Why can't Muslims be advanced and wonderful as Jews are?" By the way, there is an underlying anti-Semitic current in her thinking, but nobody cares since her political message now is in tune with the administration. Just as people in Washington, DC and Martin Indyk did not care about the past ugly anti-Semitic statements by sectarian war criminal, Walid Jumblat, as long as he supports Bush and Israel now. Amos Oz (who I detest) once said that anti-Semitism is if you think that the Jewish people are inferior OR superior. Sultan adheres to the latter form of anti-Semitism. This only proves that the Norman Finkelstein's thesis is correct: the pro-Israeli groups really don't care about combating anti-Semitism; their only concern is to combat critics of Israel and Zionism. And the New York Times makes it sound as if only Majji and Sultan get death threats (assuming you believe them), and yet nobody talks about death threats that people who criticize US and Israel get. Is it because the New York Times supports issuing death threats to those who oppose its editorial line, I wonder? It can't be, can it? I saw the episode on AlJazeera which featured Sultan. The Muslim cleric was a buffoon, and Sultan was not interesting, and had nothing new or original to say. But MEMRI has not stopped jumping up and down since the episode aired. Just have a representative of MEMRI at every major news organization since they now decide what is newsworthy in US media.
