Before he was thrown in jail on a fraud conviction, professional anti-Semite and white supremacist David Duke was the honored guest of a Bahraini group called “Discover Islam,” and appeared on an al-Jazeera talk show. Islam is a religion of peace. I know, I know, we’re not supposed to hold all Muslims responsible for the actions of some. But Duke appeared as a guest on only the most popular satellite network in the Arab world. Had Pat Robertson invited Duke on “The 700 Club” to share his views about the Jews, everyone and his brother would have condemned the television evangelist, and rightly so. So is the Islamic world giving al-Jazeera and “Discover Islam” a pass? And if so, what does that tell us? And what does our giving them a pass tell us about the double standard we allow Muslims?
