Qatar: Former President Clinton Condemns Mohammad Cartoons
Moral Cowardice, thy name is William Jefferson Clinton: Clinton warns of rising anti-Islamic feeling
DOHA (AFP) - Former US president Bill Clinton warned of rising anti-Islamic prejudice, comparing it to historic anti-Semitism as he condemned the publishing of cartoons depicting Prophet Mohammed in a Danish newspaper."So now what are we going to do? ... Replace the anti-Semitic prejudice with anti-Islamic prejudice?" he said at an economic conference in the Qatari capital of Doha.
"In Europe, most of the struggles we've had in the past 50 years have been to fight prejudices against Jews, to fight against anti-Semitism," he said.
Clinton described as "appalling" the 12 cartoons published in a Danish newspaper in September depicting Prophet Mohammed and causing uproar in the Muslim world.
"None of us are totally free of stereotypes about people of different races, different ethnic groups, and different religions ... there was this appalling example in northern Europe, in Denmark ... these totally outrageous cartoons against Islam," he said.[...]
Expect the political Left to continue to offer such multiculturalist response to Cartoon Row.

Dollar Bill is a guilty white liberal who has run out of causes to champion since Jimmy Carter hogged them all.
This multicultural claptrap is nauseating.
