Talmud Sofrim 15:10
R. Shimon ben Yochai taught: Kill [even] the good among the gentiles.
Wow, isn't that like mass genocide???
Take anything out of context and you can make a laughing stock of anyone over anything.
In typical Islam-bashing media frenzy, no one actually bothered to actually notice he was LAUGHING when he said this (yes, it was a video clip). He
was indeed talking about rodents and their disgusting traits, and that in his opinion, using what in normal human nature is considered to be filthy
and undesirable, as a wildly popular protagonist in children's cartoons, is not the most appropriate choice. Then he said jokingly, in fact, since
Mickey Mouse basically is a rodent, and rodents should be exterminated, that in fact Mickey should be exterminated.
He LAUGHED while saying it, get it? Doesn't matter whether you like it or not, but presenting this as some kind of scholarly fatwa to search out and
behead a cartoon character just reflects the simple-minded blind media stupidity that the average person is ready to consume and regurgitate
blindly.
And of course since it is about Islam or Muslims, hey, it's OK--have a field day. Now if it were about Jews...
