Flummery squared.

One thing our religions all have in common is the commandment to love your neighbour.
Dr. Muhammad Junejo, Muslim representative for Greater Manchester.[1]

Especially those najis infidel neighbors who are on the level of dead bodies, excrement, urine, blood, dogs, and pigs. (Najis is apparently only a shia concept.)

Those neighbors.

Andrew Bostom writes about this shia hatred of infidels:
An ethos of infidel—hatred, including paroxysms of annihilationist fanaticism, has pervaded Persian/Iranian society, almost without interruption (i.e., the two major exceptions being Sunni Afghan rule from 1725—1794, and Pahlavi reign, with its Pre—Islamic revivalist efforts, from 1925—1979), since the founding of the Shi'ite theocracy in 1502 under Shah Ismail, through its present Khomeini—inspired restoration, since 1979.[2]
But sunnis are not inhibited by the absence of the concept of najis things. Sura 9:28 of the Koran provides, for example, that "the Pagans are unclean . . . ." Pagans are dirty. It says so right there in the Koran.

Sunni hatred is an officially admitted phenomenon in Saudi Arabia, as can be inferred from this:
[Senior Saudi government officials] announced plans to reform the educational system, including confirming plans to revise and reform textbooks to remove remaining intolerant references that disparage Muslims and non-Muslims or that promote hatred toward other religions or religious groups within one to two years.[3]
Wow! 2006 and the Saudi government is still working to get rid of textbook references that promote hatred of infidels.

If someone had just noticed this earlier.

Just the other day we heard Ms. Betty Harris in Altoona, Penna., found a reference in her third grade social studies text to "filthy, stinking, treacherous Muslim pigs."

"How could I not have noticed for all these years," she told the Altoona Morning News.

Yes, let's hear more about that "love thy neighbor" hogwash from Dr. Junejo.
