Watcher's Council results February 17

White smoke rose above the weekly meeting of the Watcher's Council yesterday. For those posts nominated February 15:

A Dialogue at Gates of Vienna won best Council post. Clarity is a gift we often get (and share) when we're challenged.

For me, anti-semitism and islamophobia are not on the same order of injustice at all. The Jews are hated and feared because they exist; the Muslims are hated and feared because they kill people at will and do not seem bound to the rule of law that the rest of us take for granted. That cartoon of Hitler and Anne Frank was drawn and posted by European Muslims. Think about it.

A Hindu ashram moved into our area 20 years ago. I’ve never worried about them coming to do me harm. But if an equal number of Wahhabist Muslims moved in down the road, I’d sell my house.

That makes me Islamophobic, but it’s a recently acquired phobia which began to fester on 9/11/2001. So far I haven’t found a way to cure it.

Dr. Sanity's Shame, Guilt, the Muslim Psyche, and the Danish Cartoons placed.

The Big Pharoah's The 10 Commandments won best Non-Council post.

4.Thou shall understand that the West gets their info on Islam not from your preaching nor from the books you translate to them but from your actions.

Allah uses words like "info"? All Things Beautiful placed with America's Useful Idiots.
