SEE NO EVIL EUROPEANS

The Saudis execute people, sometimes by firing squad and sometimes by stoning to death. People are whipped in public. Thieves have their right hand and left foot cut off.

Have you ever heard a European government complaining about civil rights abuses in Saudi Arabia? No. The Europeans do find time to criticize the United States for "still" having the death penalty and French newspapers editorialize on the inequality of our system, their proof being that there are not enough white males in prison in this nation.

Almost exclusively the European nations also side with Yasser Arafat against Israel. The European Union frequently condemns Israel for incursions into "sovereign" Palestine but has yet to condemn the suicide bombings ordered by Arafat. Indeed the European press attempts to justify the bombings. Anti-Semitic acts in Europe by Muslims are rarely reported. When French synagogues are burnt to the ground and Jewish cemeteries desecrated by Islamic youth, the news never makes the front page.
