Positive contributions

Norman Lebrecht in the Evening Standard:

If the Muslims are to be the new Jews – secure in their identity but living at peace with society around them – they must learn to engage, to debate, to yield a few sacred cows in exchange for a sense of pride and belonging. It may take another generation, but if multicultural Britain is going to prosper, it would be no bad thing if Muslims decided to become more like Jews.

Islamophobia Watch responds:

Does Lebrecht really think this sort of ignorant and condescending crap makes any kind of positive contribution to relations between the Jewish and Muslim communities in London?
