Some people are a bit upset about Boris' win over Ken Livingstone;

What is more offensive to the Muslim Public Affairs Committee? The fact that victorious Boris and Conservative leader, David Cameron, are happy to be photographed in the company of Israeli soldiers? The fact that these soldiers are female? Or the fact that the female Israeli soldiers are Jewish?
It is generally agreed that one of the challenges facing Muslim society in Britain today is their problem with modernity, which includes the advances made by women in the field of education especially. No wonder the paradise dreamed up by suicide bombers offers eternal pleasures with passive females.
The fact is that most people agree that Israeli soldiers, male and female, are uncommonly thoughtful and helpful, and contribute greatly to Israeli society as a whole.
Maybe this is why when they go to university, usually after the army, they tend to have a mature approach to their studies.
Unlike in some countries!
Food for thought there.
It's worth reading most of the comments on the MPAC site. Later, some Muslims catch on and start posting anti-Zionist stuff, but for a while the overwhelming number of posters praise Boris and the soldiers. As for Israeli women soldiers, they make me wish I were many years younger, Israeli, and about to do my military service.
