Ancestral Homelands

"These are our ancestral homelands. We will defend our people and our culture." 

Thus quoth the Saudi Muslim. He stands outside the Kaaba in Mecca. The Purveyors of Respectable Opinion nod in solemn agreement. 

Thus quoth the Israeli Jew. He stands at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. The Purveyors of Respectable Opinion nod in solemn agreement. 

Thus quoth the Shinto Japanese. He stands inside a temple in Kyoto. The Purveyors of Respectable Opinion nod in solemn agreement. 

Thus quoth the Frenchman at the Eiffel Tower, or the Italian at St. Peter's Basilica, or the Englishman at Buckingham Palace. The Purveyors of Respectable Opinion erupt in righteous fury. "Nazi! Racist! Xenophobe!"
