This article by Alberto Goncalves of Diario de Noticias has created an uproar in Portugal since it was printed on Saturday. When you read it you’ll understand why. Focusing his attention on the sexual assault against U.S. reporter Lara Logan by a joyous mob of 200 in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, Goncalves goes into excruciating detail about why he and people like him have trouble trusting Muslims and Islam.
For Diario de Noticias, Alberto Goncalves writes in part:
In Tahrir Square, 200 citizens celebrated Mubarak’s fall by violating or, to use the euphemism en vogue, sexually assaulting, American journalist Lara Logan (from 60 Minutes). A source from Logan’s station CBS confirms that these pacifists thirsty for freedom (and women, apparently) yelled the word “Jew!” during the act, a detail omitted from the vast majority of the news stories on the episode.
I confess: my name is Alberto and I’m a little “Islamophobic.” I don’t really know why. Perhaps it’s because in my lifetime, no other religion has inspired so much killing (have you noticed that there are very few attacks claimed by Catholics, Baptists, Jews, Buddhists or Hindus?) Perhaps it’s because no other relevant religion punishes apostates with a death sentence. Maybe it’s because countries subjected to the word of the Prophet devote their laws and customs to disdaining (and worse) women, homosexuals, Niggas, Whites and people of other faiths.
Perhaps it’s because no one can say Sharia treats minorities worse than dogs, given that, not satisfied with soiling their own kind, Muslims also believe that dogs are an emanation of Satan and so subject the creatures to unspeakable cruelty. Perhaps it’s because some Islamic spiritual leaders were convicted allies of Hitler at the time of the first Holocaust, and some of their successors make a living demanding the second.
Perhaps it’s because a considerable number of Muslims feel offended by the freedoms that the West took centuries to achieve, including the critical but unappreciated fundamental right to mockery.
