Even the anti-Semitic nature of many Islamic radical movements has more to do with a Western and secular anti-Semitism than with the theological anti-Judaism of Islam. (the Qu'ran sometimes uses harsh terms when referring to the Jews, but historically Jews Have been better treated under Muslim power than in Europe or Australia.)
Radical Muslims (and even many moderate conservatives or left-wing Arab secularist) quote the bypass to the ethnic and racial divide of common radicals...in conjuring up an open hatred articulation to their own dropout of supremacy Western application, and commodity ethic.

By David Marr
December 13, 2005
BY THURSDAY Alan Jones was screaming like a race caller whose horse
was coming home. "I'm the person that's led this charge here. Nobody
wanted to know about North Cronulla, now it's gathered to this."
The riot was three days away and Sydney's top-rating breakfast host
had heaps of anonymous emails to whip his 2GB listeners on. "Alan, it's
not just a few Middle Eastern bastards at the weekend, it's thousands.
Cronulla is a very long beach and it's been taken over by this scum. It's
not a few causing trouble, it's all of them."
Sunday's trouble was brewing all week on talkback, - especially 2GB.
Radio doesn't get much grimmer than Jones's efforts.
He was dead keen for a demo at the beach: "A rally, a street march, call
it what you will. A community show of force."
He assured his audience he "understood" why that famous text message
went out and he read it right through again on air: "Come to Cronulla
this weekend to take revenge. This Sunday every Aussie in the shire get
down to North Cronulla to support the leb and wog bashing day …"
Daily he cautioned his listeners not to take the law into their own hands,
but he warmed to those who had exactly that on their minds. On
Thursday Charlie rang to suggest all junior footballers in the shire
gather on the beach to support the lifesavers. "Good stuff, good stuff,"
said Jones.
"I tell you who we want to encourage, Charlie, all the Pacific Island
people because, you want to know something, they don't take any
nonsense. They are proud to be here - all those Samoans and Fijians.
They love being here. And they say 'Uh huh, uh huh. You step out of
line, look out.' And of course, cowards always run, don't they."
When John called on Tuesday to recommend vigilante action - "If the
police can't do the job, the next tier is us" - Jones did not dissent. "Yeah.
Good on you John." And when he offered a maxim his father had picked
up in the war - "Shoot one, the rest will run" - Jones roared with
laughter. "No, you don't play Queensberry's rules. Good on you, John."
Pity poor Berta - "not of a Middle Eastern family" - who reported
hearing "really derogatory remarks" aimed at Middle Eastern people on
Cronulla beach. Jones cut her off: "Let's not get too carried away, Berta.
We don't have Anglo-Saxon kids out there raping women in western
Sydney."
Yesterday 2GB broadcasters claimed two thirds of calls to the station
supported "what happened" on Sunday. But Alan Jones is not around to
deal with the aftermath. He's having a well-earned holiday.

December 16, 2005
CLAIMS that Sydney's race violence has been stoked by talkback radio were reinforced today when a radio announcer was forced to apologise for on-air comments about Lebanese Australians.
Macquarie Radio station 2GB's late night announcer in Sydney, Brian Wilshire, had accused some Lebanese of being inbred.
"Many of them have parents who are first cousins whose parents were first cousins," he told listeners to his 9pm-midnight show.
"The result of this is inbreeding – the result of which is uneducationable (sic)
people...and very low IQ."
Wilshire's comments were greeted by outrage in Sydney, where thousands of police are preparing to mount road blocks this weekend to prevent a repeat of the race riot at Cronulla beach.
"It reveals an uneducated comment on his part – they are disgraceful
comments," NSW Premier Morris Iemma said.
Wilshire, whose 2GB colleague Alan Jones has also been accused of fuelling racial tensions, emerged today to apologise for his remarks.
"I understand that those comments may have caused offence to some
members of the Lebanese community and I unreservedly retract those
comments and I apologise for any offence that might have been caused," the 61-year-old told Network Ten.
Wilshire, whose station biography declares him to be a fifth generation
Australian descended from the brother of Sydney's second mayor James
Wilshire, has been with 2GB for 25 years.
His apology came as a number of Lebanese community leaders today blamed talkback radio for stoking racial tensions.
"There's been a number of presenters from the same radio station who seem to have fuelled racism," Lebanese spokesman Keysar Trad said.
"They are fuelling racial division."
His comments were echoed as Muslim, Christian and Jewish leaders met in solidarity today outside a Sydney Uniting Church, where a hall was burned to the ground on Wednesday night.
About 300 people, including a large group of Muslims from the nearby Omar Mosque in Auburn, as well as representatives of the Christian and Jewish communities, were at the meeting.
A spokesman for Lebanese human rights organisation Cedarwatch, Stephen Stanton, cited 2GB when he blamed talkback radio for helping to incite the violence of the past week.
"Deep in your hearts there are two matters that are hurting you today," Mr Stanton told the crowd.
One example was 2GB.
"The airwaves are useless if they are used by people such as that," he said, to applause from the crowd.
Australian Islamic Cultural Centre president Sheikh Shafiq Khan also criticised
the role of the media.
"The media are the arm of the community," Sheik Khan said.
"The government, the media, the community and police, they are working together like a car.
"If one (of these) is not good, the car cannot work."
