Exercises in Hypocrisy including OZ TV stiches up a muslim supporter of Israel

After the horrors of the Paris sieges, we will begin to see all sorts of attempts to rewrite history rather than face reality. The flood of outrage will be replaced by the steady drip, drip, drip of rationalisation and appeasement.

The ISIL marked homes and businesses owned by Christians with a red, painted ن (pronounced “noon”), the 14th letter of the Arabic alphabet and the equivalent to the Roman letter N. The ن stands for Nasara or Nazarenes, a pejorative Arabic word for Christians.  See here: http://www.religiousfreedomcoalition.org/2014/09/19/in-defense-of-christians-conference-struggles-to-identify-friends-and-foes/

And finally, for now, the Spectator has produced the following from a little earlier this year:
