Wow, probably not the best source about racism or human rights.
He's so hideously rightwing, David Duke & Donald Trump are progressive in comparison.

A Muslim hardliner who says adulterers should be stoned to death and that gay men and fornicators should be lashed 100 times has set up an Islamic school that has received almost £1million of taxpayers’ money.

Ibrahim Hewitt, one of Britain’s most prominent Islamic firebrands – who also heads a charity branded a ‘terrorist’ organisation by the US – is the founder and chairman of trustees of the Al-Aqsa school in Leicester, which teaches 250 boys and girls aged between three and 11. He has vilified homosexuals as paedophiles and said a man can take on a second wife if his first fails to satisfy him sexually. Mr Hewitt has published his views in a book on Islam, which he claims has sold more than 50,000 copies in Britain.....


The preacher is the author of a book called What Does Islam Say?, which spells out his vision of ‘true Islam’. In it he advocates the killing of adulterers by stoning. The book says: ‘Any act that destabilises marriage will also destabilise society. Hence the Islamic punishments for such acts are severe… Married men and women found guilty of adultery are to be stoned to death.’

The book also advocates 100 lashes for fornication and sodomy with both men and women, and condemns homosexuality as a ‘grave sin’.

Mr Hewitt says in the book: ‘Islam, like most other major faiths of the world, categorically forbids homosexual practices (sexual relations between two men or between two women), regarding them as a great sin. In a society under Islamic law, such would be severely punished.’

He then compares homosexuals to paedophiles or those who commit incest. The book says: ‘If people have such desires [homosexuality], they should keep them to themselves, and control their desires to avoid forbidden practices.
‘The advice would be the same as, say, to someone who had sexual desires for minors or for close family: that having the desires does not legitimise realising them.’

The book also argues that men and women are not equal, and men have a right to assume leadership over women. ‘Islam recognises the leadership of men over women, but it does not recognise the domination of one over the other.’
He adds: ‘If a woman is unable to satisfy the sexual or other needs of her husband he may consider taking another wife, rather than the common Western practice of secretly taking a mistress.’

Mr Hewitt has in the past said that ‘political Zionism is a threat to world peace’ and has objected to the setting up of Holocaust Memorial Day. He is also the chairman of a charity called Interpal, which the US Treasury has designated a ‘global terrorist entity’ due to accusations it has raised money for the Palestinian terror group Hamas. However, a report by the UK Charity Commission last year found no evidence that it had done so.

It's difficult finding anyone more ridiculously hardline Rightwing than this nasty piece of work.

This might be a step backwards from Mondo-Scheisse. Congrats. Not...

6. Hamas accepts two states based on the 1967 borders.

7. Hamas has been provoked by Israel

Sloan and MEMO are a waste of time for anyone interested in reality.

David Duke's Stormfront pretended to care about Ethiopians when Israel was being accused of sterilizing Blacks. Imagine that; the KKK was worried about anti-Black discrimination & racism. It's no different here from Jew hating, Hamas apologists like Sloan. Only cranks & loons take this stupid, obsessive Jew-hating shit seriously, whether from StormFront or hate sites like MEMO & Mondoweiss.

To demonstrate, here's part of the article you posted:

William Booth has noted in a highly recommended Washington Post essay that Netanyahu’s real plan is “to convince the world that the surge in Palestinian violence here is not born of frustration against Israel’s decades-long military occupation but instead is the work of,” to use Netanyahu’s own words, “radical Islam.”


Sloan's claim is basically that being against Hamas' genocidal Jew hatred = Bigotry. Or calling Hamas radical Islam is racist.

#FAIL


And more...

The hate today focuses on the Muslim faith and nature of the Palestinians. Israel, though, could stop building its illegal settlements. It could give the land that it has stolen since 1967 back to its Palestinian owners. It could act in accordance with international law and allow Palestinians to fulfil their right to return as a gesture of goodwill for stealing so many people’s homes, and in doing so explain to its Jewish citizens living in those homes that if they want to live in peace, they must live in new homes built by the state.


The first part is bullshit & nothing but a defense of Jihadi anti-Jew terrorism.

The second part is nonsense, it's Hamas' goal, and of course a call for the destruction of Israel....which BTW is antisemitic as even you acknowledged.

MEMO, Mondoweiss, and StormFront are all hate sites. I'm sorry that mainstream sources aren't as anti-Israel as you'd like them to be, but at least you wouldn't see anyone here immediately writing off each article from MSM sources as nonsense from the start.
