One minute of sense and decency during a television program in Tunisia, a country which, thanks to Bourguiba and more than a half-century of systematic secularizing by him and those who agreed with him, a part of the Tunisian population — that part which reads the French-languagre press, sends its children to French-language schools (or do the C.N.E.D. at home), follows French television — has had the chance to take its place on the rational planet of non-Muslims. But what’s amazing about this clip is that it is amazing at all — that merely stating what all educated people in the West know to be true, that The Protocols was a forgery — becomes in the context, a statement that requires bravery, from a singular figure, who meets only with opposition or embarrassed silence. And Djelloul then goes on to state a further home truth — in Tunisia, as everywhere else in the Muslim Arab lands, “everything is blamed on the Jews.”

I agree, Hugh; that we’re amazed and heartened by this only proves what a cultural cesspool the Arab by and large is.
It is an impressive performance in such a forum. He quickly lays out the historical facts about the Protocols and, just as important, pins Arab creduality on its wild, and unending obsession with Jews. And he speaks with the righteous contempt this obsession deserves.
And one should not forget that Persian Muslims and Turkish Muslims and Malay Muslims and South Asian Muslims are not Arabs, ethnically, but they suffer from the same disease as the Arab Muslims, the same psychosis, the Jew-hatred. Because it is hard-wired into the core texts of Islam and is therefore found wherever Muslims are to be found. (It seizes upon and makes use of non-Muslim Jew-hatreds where opportunity arises, as in the case of the Muslim embrace and promotion of that notorious forgery, the ‘Protocols’, and the popularity of translations of Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” in places like Turkey, but it is not *caused* by or derivative from those hatreds; if non-Muslim forms of Jew-hatred vanished entirely from the world Muslim Jew-hatred would sustain itself from its own sources, regardless).
