When you torture to death a PREGNANT WOMAN - you are committing an abomination!<BR/><BR/>By the way - I have never heard of a widespread Jewish Missionary program! Claiming they were missionaries is ludicrous - and a clue that all else they say is skewed by ignorance tempered with ideology...<BR/><BR/>Yet, I would like to make one other observation: IF these terrorists and their collaborators succeed in dividing us along religious lines, we will be conquered. I am an ignostic (not agnostic, ignostic) - but I think that Christians, Jews, Pagans, atheists, antitheists, ignostics, Hindus, Sikhs - and every other non-Islamist - we MUST ALL STAND TOGETHER!<BR/><BR/>If we get splintered along lines of our faith (or absence thereof) or the degree of our faith (calling them 'Ultra Orthodox' - so what if they were? I don't care if the victims worshipped polka-dotted penguins! These evil monsters tortured a PREGNANT WOMAN to death!), we will be picked off one at a time! <BR/><BR/>We must not be a collection of isolated groups - we must be a community, which uses our resources for common protection!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625076107995960519.post-71851858932652817552008-12-01T16:23:00.000-05:002008-12-01T16:23:00.000-05:00Islam is different than Christianity and Judaism. ...Islam is different than Christianity and Judaism. <BR/><BR/>Islam mandates hostility, violence, & intimidation to subjugate the other faiths to Islamic rule. This is supported by a 1400 year history of religious imperialism (conquering other cultures and nations). Islamic extremists apply intimidating violence literally to spread Islam's dominion.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure this contradicts (or supports) your anti-religionist worldview. Are you open-minded to learning the facts about it?<BR/><BR/>You can learn more about this at JihadWatch, DhimmiWatch, FaithFreedom, ArabsforIsrael. <BR/><BR/>AndrewBostom.Org lays it out clearly today:<BR/><BR/>Contemporary validation of the central principle of jihad terrorism—rooted in the Koran—(for example, verses 8:12, 8:60, and 33:26)—i.e., to terrorize the enemies of the Muslims as a prelude to their conquest—has been provided in the mainstream Pakistani text on jihad warfare by Brigadier S.K. Malik, originally published in Lahore, in 1979.This text—widely studied in Islamic countries, and available in English, Urdu, and Arabic—has been recovered from the bodies of slain jihadists in Kashmir. Brigadier Malik emphasizes how instilling terror is essential to waging successful jihad campaigns: <BR/><BR/>"Terror struck into the hearts of the enemies is not only a means, it is the end in itself. Once a condition of terror into the opponent’s heart is obtained, hardly anything is left to be achieved. It is the point where the means and the end meet and merge. Terror is not a means of imposing decision upon the enemy (sic); it is the decision we wish to impose upon him… <BR/><BR/>“Jihad,” the Koranic concept of total strategy…[d]emands the preparation and application of total national power and military instrument is one of its elements. As a component of the total strategy, the military strategy aims at striking terror into the hearts of the enemy from the preparatory stage of war…Under ideal conditions, Jihad can produce a direct decision and force its will upon the enemy. Where that does not happen, military strategy should take over and aim at producing the decision from the military stage. Should that chance be missed, terror should be struck into the enemy during the actual fighting. <BR/><BR/>…the Book [Koran] does not visualize war being waged with “kid gloves.” It gives us a distinctive concept of total war. It wants both, the nation and the individual, to be at war “in toto,” that is, with all their spiritual, moral, and physical resources. <BR/><BR/>The Holy Koran lays the highest emphasis on the preparation for war. It wants us to prepare ourselves for war to the utmost. The test of utmost preparation lies in our capability to instill terror into the hearts of the enemies."DemoCasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943737729085386897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625076107995960519.post-85511631761919833022008-12-01T10:51:00.000-05:002008-12-01T10:51:00.000-05:00It doesn't matter if you are Jewish or Christian; ...It doesn't matter if you are Jewish or Christian; if you take the Scriptures seriously then you are an extremist. It is curious that Jews and Christians who take their Holy Scriptures seriously are kind and compassionate people while Muslims who take their "scriptures" seriously become mass murderers.shoprathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05265612188236394307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625076107995960519.post-81091407956440664652008-11-30T12:08:00.000-05:002008-11-30T12:08:00.000-05:00Mother Teresa or today her organization could be c...Mother Teresa or today her organization could be characterized the same way.

The most important single mitzvah today, IMHO, is achdut -- unity -- among Jews. <BR/><BR/>May your words be part of a growing tsunami of words that sway our own people, and remind them to love each other, before being so quick to love our enemies.<BR/><BR/>This would be a great memorial to the murdered of Mumbai.rutimizrachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809119908148195009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625076107995960519.post-79347473018043402662008-11-29T08:55:00.000-05:002008-11-29T08:55:00.000-05:00Yacov, you are absolutely right.

Although they have chosen not to practice Judaism in the Orthodox fashion, they have found a place where are are always welcome. When my ex mother -in-law was hospitalized, my former sister-in law was distraught and confused with all the directives of the doctors. I suggeted she go to Chabad and they would help her make Jewish decisions about life and death. The rabbis were so helpful and inclusive they now have an other loyal admirer who continues to join them for holidays and services whenever possible. <BR/>My daughter summed it up best when she said, "All those people do is pray and do mitzvot ( good deeds). How could anyone kill them?" We now have unassailable proof that it is not " Israel" It is not " Zionism" It is nothing but barbarism and hate. Any Jew that still makes excuses for them is making excuses for the the death of civilization.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625076107995960519.post-20935477983243861492008-11-28T19:59:00.000-05:002008-11-28T19:59:00.000-05:00Yaacov, thanks so much for bringing out the humani...Yaacov, thanks so much for bringing out the humanity of this beautiful couple, and the wonderful organization that they honored with their work.<BR/><BR/>I wd quibble a bit w/Nancy, since the lamestream media often DOES show feeling...For example when a gay youth is murdered, or a non-liberal white politician utters an anti-black slur, or when a Jewish "settler" points a gun at some Arab "youths," my, my, the outrage just POURS forth.Jewish Odysseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704379332151214452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625076107995960519.post-5333080476167318382008-11-28T19:45:00.000-05:002008-11-28T19:45:00.000-05:00The jihadists are often portrayed as if they were ...The jihadists are often portrayed as if they were an amoral force of nature that responds to provocation the way a gas leak might explode if you leave the valve open.
