(FROM THE ARTICLE: So
let’s imagine that a group of white children had been captured on video calling
for the beheading of Jewish kids. My fellow liberals would be up in arms,
demanding a broader investigation of the incident and penalties for the people
involved. But when it’s Muslim children, doing the same thing? Meh. Witness our
blasé reaction to last month’s news in my hometown of Philadelphia, where
students were seen reciting a revolutionary anthem often used by Islamist
groups. Reading from a prepared text, one girl in the group says, “We will chop
off their heads, and we will liberate the sorrowful and exalted Al-Aqsa
Mosque.” That’s a reference to a holy site in Jerusalem, revered by Muslims and
Jews alike. The video was cited repeatedly on Fox News and other conservative
media outlets but made barely a blip on CNN, MSNBC and other left-leaning
venues.)
