...born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad

Elmo’s afeared of “Nazis,” too: The CJC, as we know, is obsessed with the Nazi threat, and is thus engaged in a relentless battle to pursue and punish decrepit, incontinent Nazis and White Power pishers wherever they are hiding. Taking a page from the Jews’ playbook, the Canadian Islamic Congress’s Grand Poobah-for–life is also promoting the Nazi theat—and the “new” Jews he sees in its crosshairs:

…On July 4, 2008 the Independent newspaper reported that Martyn Gilleard, a Nazi sympathizer in East Yorkshire, England, was jailed for 16 years. "Police found four nail bombs, bullets, swords, axes and knives in his flat. Gilleard had been preparing for a war against Muslims. In a note at his flat he had written, ‘I am sick and tired of hearing nationalists talking of killing Muslims, blowing up mosques and fighting back only to see these acts of resistance fail. The time has come to stop the talking and start to act’."

The Independent headlined the above-quoted report by journalist Peter Oborne as "The enemy within? Fear of Islam: Britain's new disease." The article observed that "Suspicion of the Muslim community has found its way into mainstream society - and nobody seems to care."

In fact, the Gilleard case went all but unreported. Had a Muslim been found with an arsenal of weapons and planning violent assaults, it would have been a far bigger story.

"There is a reason for this blindness in the media," Oborne continues. "The systematic demonization of Muslims has become an important part of the central narrative of the British political and media class; it is so entrenched, so much part of normal discussion that almost nobody notices. Protests go unheard and unnoticed."

Commenting on Canadian Prof. Sherene H. Razack’s new book "Casting Out: The Eviction of Muslims From Western Law & Politics," Dr. Ghassan Hage, Prof. of Anthropology at the University of Sydney, observed: "Hannah Arendt argued that Holocaust history shows that Jews were perceived and treated by German society as marginal and expendable long before their extermination was acted out. [This book] shows the complex ways in which Muslims in the West are slowly being driven to become today’s exterminables ... It is worth remembering that the Holocaust was not a historical inevitability. Those struggling against the dark forces of extermination can succeed."

Memo to Elmo: No need to fret. Nazis and Muslims are long-time natural allies, united by a desire to exterminate the same old “exterminables”—the Jews. Nice try at purloining the Jews’ identity and horrific history, though. Were the CJC actually awake and in possession of a clue, your remarks should, once and for all, put the kibosh on your beautiful friendship.

As for the notion that the West is "casting out" Muslims--'tis to laugh. In fact, it is Islamic law, now making a big push to gain a foothold in the West,  that "evicts" and marginalizes non-believers. But I have a feeling that the Professor and Elmo are both well aware of that.
