If mosques were treated in this fashion, the very same people who are now torching these synagogues would likely use it as an excuse to explode a few commuter buses.

And if mosques were burned to the ground by gun-toting mobs of Jews (or Christians), Europe and the U.N. would react as though Mohammed himself had just been flushed down a toilet.

Interesting, then, the worldwide silence after these synagogues are torched. No outrage. No demands for apology. Nobody getting blown up in retribution.

The lesson?

Desecration of religious symbols is acceptable—and sometimes even funded by the government!—as long as certain groups don’t get offended.

If it weren’t for the Israeli army, I suspect these mobs would gleefully set ablaze every single synagogue in Israel. And if that ever happens, will the world be just as silent?
