Links, sources, context please.
I thought you were supposed to provide links? I said Noam Chomsky avoids the topic of Islamism altogether, and provides an indirect/direct justification to the tyranny of Islam. Therefore, I would expect you to produce some quotation from Mr. Chomsky which would demonstrate that he, indeed, has some sympathy for the victims of Islam.
Noam Chomsky meeting Hezbollah's leader, and defending Hezbollah:

"Faurisson has been conducting extensive research into the 'Holocaust" question. Since he began making his findings public, Professor Faurisson has been subject to a vicious campaign of harassment, intimidation, slander, and physical violence in a crude attempt to silence him."
This is what Noam Chomsky says about Serge Thion, another revisionist:
I was asked by Serge Thion, a libertarian socialist scholar with a record of opposition to all forms of totalitarianism, to sign a petition
This petition, incidentally, describes Faurisson as "a respected professor." Noam Chomsky, in his ideological blindness, even remarked that "he had seen no evidence to support the conclusion that Faurisson was anti-Semitic."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Faurisson#ControversiesThis is what Vidal-Naquet, a Jewish scholar, had to say on the matter:
The simple truth, Noam Chomsky, is that you were unable to abide by the ethical maxim you had imposed. You had the right to say: my worst enemy has the right to be free, on condition that he not ask for my death or that of my brothers. You did not have the right to say: my worst enemy is a comrade, or a 'relatively apolitical sort of liberal.' You did not have the right to take a falsifier of history and to recast him in the colors of truth.
Noam Chomsky has so many faults. I cannot squeeze them all into a single post. He is a man lost in his own ideological maze, like blind Phineas lashing out at Harpies that he cannot see.
