Feeling the need for a bit of bile, I went over to Little Green Footballs. I wasn't disappointed. Charles gets a twofer - manages to lump all Muslims together AND smears Colin Powell at the same time.

Oh well, let's talk about liberal homophobia some more.

UPDATE: In the comments Charles said what he meant was that Powell wants more educators like Sharabi. This is supposed to make it okay because it isn't that all Muslims are bad, just all Muslim educators?

All cleared up now.

Sharabi's comments were despicable. They should be publicized. I have no problem with that. But to say that Colin Powell wants more educators like this is both labelling him an anti-Semite and saying that all Muslims are anti-Semites. That's quite despicable. In fact, it's as despicable as Sharabi's comments. Particularly as it isn't even clear that Sharabi is a Muslim. Not all Arabs are Muslims. Not all Muslims are Arabs.
