Re: Free speech and hate speech (June 5)

Rabbi Jim Rosenberg in his last column seems to want to shoot the Messenger (Pamela Geller) while papering over the Message (the Quran). Geller’s  attitude is given the name of “Islamophobia” as a kind of a disease. The same “disease” can be applied in world history to “Hitlerophobia,” “Stalinophobia,” “Fasciophobia,” “Tojoophobia,” “Pol Potophobia,” “Maoophobia,” etc.,  all of whom have the common denominator of  working toward the destruction of the West through their special tyranny.

It is meaningless to say that the jihadists only represent a small minority of Muslims. They are calling the shots. They are making the gains while our headlines feature the antics of a Bruce Jenner and how much punishment should be rendered upon Tom Brady.
