Perhaps you could begin by telling us what you find odd about this:

\begin{quote}
The Jews have come from the tragedy (of the Holocaust), and forced the world 
to respect them, with their knowledge, not with their terror, with their 
work, not their crying and yelling. Humanity owes most of the discoveries and 
science of the 19th and 20th centuries to Jewish scientists. 15 million 
people, scattered throughout the world, united and won their rights through 
work and knowledge. We have not seen a single Jew blow himself up in a German 
restaurant. We have not seen a single Jew destroy a church. We have not seen 
a single Jew protest by killing people. The Muslims have turned three Buddha 
statues into rubble. We have not seen a single Buddhist burn down a Mosque, 
kill a Muslim, or burn down an embassy. Only the Muslims defend their beliefs 
by burning down churches, killing people, and destroying embassies. This path 
will not yield any results. The Muslims must ask themselves what they can do 
for humankind, before they demand that humankind respect them.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if even Dan Lusthaus agreed with at least part 
of what she says here.
