Evidence

A handful of demonstrators protest the ridiculing of their prophet by Danish cartoonists, and Salman Rushdie and company are up in arms with the claim that Islam is the new fascism. Israel, an entire state apparatus with a massive military machinery, massacres Palestinians by the hundreds and maims them by the thousands in Gaza, the whole world is crying out in protest—and yet Rushdie and his friends are nowhere to be seen. — Hamid Dabashi, Brown Skin, White Masks, 555
