Ah, I see where you are coming from. You want a justification for the current rise in antisemitism. If you care to dig deep, it has been paid for by Iran and Russia and has been targeted at various markets. It has been successful.

However, my article was not written about the current situation, and I see no reason to make it so.

I will, however tell you that my conclusions about Islamic Jihad has nothing to do with antisemitism.

I first read the Koran in 1969. I was shocked to my core. Sure, if you were Muslim, then you treated Muslims very nicely. However, anyone who wasn't Muslim could be raped, murdered, be lied to, and it was the duty of all Muslims to ensure that people followed Sharia Law, and if they didn't, to eliminate them. That is the message of the Koran.

In 1982, I read my first intifada literature in South Africa. Note that has nothing to do with Israel. It was freely available in a Muslim grocery store where I often bought. There was an entire table of it. It instructed all Muslims to rise up and do away with anyone who was not willing to become Muslim and live under Sharia law.

At that point, I started becoming interested in it as a force that would eventually grow to where it is today.

In London, in 1999, I met my first Jihadi. He tried to kill me, because I said hello and offered my hand to him. He grabbed my hand, then attempted to throw me out of a 6th floor window.

Thereafter I came across a lot of their literature, freely handed out in the streets, telling black people that they must turn against the whites, and rise with the Muslims to conquer everybody who was white.

I have watched as Germany, France, the UK, and 15 nations in Africa (all with nothing to do with Israel) have myriads of terrorist attacks and increasing calls for those nations to be ruled by Sharia law - because 'the laws of Allah are superior to the laws of white people." So we must give up all civilization so that a a group of people who are following the murderous teachings of a backwards warlord in the 6th century can take the world back to the dark ages?

Thank you, but no thank you.

I am an atheist. I think all religion is bs. My stance against Jihad has nothing to do with my article explaining the roots of antisemitism and how it is passed down in culture and families.

Regardless of whether the attack had happened on Israel or not, I am firmly opposed to Jihad. I have seen the terrible things these people do to non-Muslims and I stand against it.

I have no idea who you think 'my party' is but if you think I'm standing against Islamic Jihad because I'm a Zionist or a Jew or something else, you are sorely mistaken.

Thank you for your time. I will leave you to sort out your opinion of Jews. I seriously don't care.
