In America, Jewish groups like the ADL and AJC labor to keep the Jewish Community together under a wide (some would argue, too wide) definition of what it means to be Jewish, or even Zionist. They then advocate and provide support for a wide range of Jewish causes and interests to outsiders. That's their activism -- directed outward.

Apparently, Muslim advocacy groups in Europe are just as prepared to direct their attentions inward against anyone who fails to toe the party line. Get a load of this from MPACUK [the whole thing is worth checking out -- not long -- but here's a snip]:

Breaking News: Muslim Shop Reported In Jewish Chronicle Treacherously Supporting Israel

After recent events regarding a Muslim store, Sabar brothers, and their fondness of selling Israeli produce, MPACUK carried out a SUCCESSFUL campaign to remove Israeli produce from the store. We thought the campaign was done and dusted. Alhamdollillah, the store had acknowledged their error after a campaign by us and scores of complaints flooding in, they had backed down and had agreed to boycott Israeli products (or so we thought...)

However, we were unprepared for the unimaginable - we came across an article in the Jewish Chronicle dated 31.05.06, stating how this particular “shopkeeper is defying one of Britain’s biggest Muslim lobbying groups by continuing to sell Israeli produce.” MPACUK were flabbergasted to say the least...

...MPACUK are deeply outraged and will not relent on our firm stance to boycott Israeli products. In this mission we have even come across Muslims - those who should find it innate within them to defend the Ummah with our wealth, possessions and deeds - who ignore the Palestinian’s plight. We will continue to hold to account and expose those who continue with their quest to fund Israel. Any Muslim store or business who is indifferent to the suffering of the Ummah and who refuses to acknowledge our sincere, polite naseeha as to why they should boycott Israeli products, will be held accountable by MPACUK and will be exposed here on Britain's Biggest Muslim website; we will ensure the wider Muslim community hears about it, so stay tuned in...

Ah, building bridges of understanding the MPACUK way...The attitude reflected by this mainstream Muslim group is really remarkable.

The comments thread below the MPACUK posting are worth reading too. One poster named Joe makes the point that had Ghandi blown buses up to promote the cause of Indian independence, they'd still be fighting the Brits.

Otherwise, I wonder if the clueless commenters have any idea as to which Arab / Muslim nationals enjoyed the highest standard of living in the years prior to Intifida II: Arabs in Israel in the Territories, Arabs in Saudi Arabia or Muslims in Iran. By the UN's own Human Development scale, Arabs in Israel and the Territories enjoyed a standard of living that was double that of their Saudi brethren and Iranian co-religionists, despite all of the petrodollars.

What maroons some people are.

It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States when men were free."
