Eliminating Islamic extremism in the UK

Will not be an easy task. In "Britain's Pedagogy of Hate," Jonah Avriel Cohen points to the poisonous hate literature being distributed in and around Britain's institutions of higher learning, 30 of which were cited as being home to extremist or terror groups.

Cathy Young discusses the committee that wants to eliminate Holocaust Memorial Day because Muslims find it offensive.

Unfortunately, even against the bloody backdrop of the 20th century, there are strong reasons to regard the Nazi extermination of the Jews as a unique atrocity. It was the first, and so far the only time that, as Cornell University historian Stephen Katz put it in his 1994 book ''The Holocaust in Historical Context," that ''a state set out, as a matter of intentional principle and actualized policy, to annihilate physically every man, woman, and child belonging to a specific people."

But the problem with the proposal goes far deeper. The other ''genocides" for which they want recognition include the Israeli killings of Palestinians.
