If Muslims spoke this sectarian language, there would have been an uproar in the West

"Acouple of years ago, the Israeli writer A.B. Yehoshua upset many American Jews by asserting that a full Jewish life could be had only in the Jewish state. Jews ruled by Jews, he said, were deciding whether to withdraw from territory and torture terrorists. Jews elsewhere might contribute to similar conversations but were only "playing with Jewishness," not defining it." (thanks Daniel)
