Muslim "Honor" Killings

"Honor" has different meanings in Islam . . .

The world is well aware of the barbarity of the concept of "honor killings" among the Mohammedans.

The preceeding video merely elaborates on the inhumanity of this doctrine, but it does not, it cannot, convey the sheer brutality and gut-wrenching inhumanity with which these lynching are carried out.

The idea behind "honor killings" is that a woman, no matter how young, is the sole vessel for the preservation of the "honor" of the Mohammedan's family and that any thought, act, or perceived act that might call the "honor" of the family into question requires the death of that woman, again, regardless of her youth.

There is really little to add that can further enforce or emphasize our condemation of this primitive and utterly barbaric doctrine.

What is truly interesting is that this "principle" of "family honor" is something which devolves solely upon the heads of the women in Islam; there is no such restriction placed upon men in Islamic society. As far as Islam is concerned, a man is free to behave in any way he pleases without fear of condemnation or punishment, as far as his responsibilities to maintaining the "family honor" are concerned. He is beyond the reach of any restraining social or religious doctrines.

And Mohammedan men make the most of this freedom.

Anyone who has visited a Mohammedan country has seen the packs of Mohammedan men trailing after a foreign female tourist like dogs scenting a steak. In all major tourist centers in the Islamic world, the single female tourist is hounded, sometimes with disarming courtesy, sometimes with blatant vulgarity, but always hounded wherever she goes. Whether it is in the souk or in the bazaar, a restaurant or a shop, there will always be the undercurrent of tension surrounding her, the knowledge that she is the prey and the Mohammedan men the predators.

These are the men who are willing, on the instant, to condemn and lynch their own mothers, sisters or daughters at the merest hint of an indiscretion or "perceived" indiscretion.

The hypocrisy of Islam defies comprehension by the civilized mind. These are barbaric practices that, even in earlier eras in less advanced cultures, were considered as unjust.

What would bring these atrocities to a screeching halt would be if Islamic women decided, in every Islamic society, to apply the same standards to, and inflict the same punishments on, the men in their families.

IF an erring son was seen talking to a Swedish tourist in Sharm-El Sheik, or a husband was caught with a woman not of his family in Doha, and they were shamed in public and subsequently lynched, I think that would go far to bring about a more civilized equality between the sexes in Mohammedan society. It wouldn't take more than two or three such examples to pull the rest in to line. I seriously doubt whether such public displays would be sanctioned by the male-dominated Islamic society, so the only reasonable alternative for the Mohammedan wife, sister or daughter would be to slit the offending male's throat in the night. Such an action would be well within the scope of any Mohammedan woman to perform without a second thought.

I think a week or so without sleep on the part of erring men would do wonders to rectify the situation.

But, given the mentality of the Mohammedan male, rather than surrender any of their "masculine prerogatives" of unfettered immorality, I think they would be more inclined to offer a bit more freedom to their women as a sop. I'm sure the Imams ( the Islamic clerics), tossing and turning restlessly in their beds at night, would find Koranic passages that would enable women to drive a car, work outside the home, visit freely among her friends, etc.

The threat of suffering the horrendous fate that the "men" in Islam have so easily meted out to women over the centuries would, I am sure, make them a little more civilized, if not less primitive.

"Yahoo" and "YouTube". . . Promoting Islamic Terror?

There is an extremely disturbing pattern emerging on the "Yahoo.com" website as well as the "Yahoo Answers"section of the "Yahoo.com" website.

For those who aren't familiar with "Yahoo Answers", it's an adjunct of "Yahoo.com" where anyone with a "Yahoo.com" e-mail address can register, sign in and then ask or answer questions posted by other members. This is a free service and it has a host of different sections covering virtually every subject imaginable.

While most of the sections are pretty innocuous and not likely to raise the hackles of the average poster or answerer, there are a few subject areas that tend to attract rather more heated responses than others. Two of the most volatile forums are the "Israel" section as a sub-section under the "Travel" heading and "Religion and Spirituality" as a sub-section under the "Society and Culture" heading.

The questions posed by Mohammedans in both of these sections tend to be extremely provocative and antagonistic toward non-Mohammedans, especially Jews, Christains and Israel, while their responses to any questions or answers critical of Islam can frequently border on the hysterical.

Now, the problem is that while "Yahoo Answers" understandably has what are called "Community Guidelines" that are meant to act as mechanisms to keep offensive material out of this forum, and can result in the "suspension" ( read: "termination") of a user's entire "Yahoo" account if an unacceptable number of "violations" are reported, this policy is more and more clearly being used selectively to terminate the accounts of users who are critical of Islam.

As an example of this selectivity, the following innocuous question resulted in the termination of one user's account:

===================================================================

"Question: After three million years of evolution . . .?

. . . . and the long, slow climb of civilization from hunter-gatherers through the rise of agricultural societies and then the gradual emergence of science from the intellectual black hole of the Middle Ages, climbing still higher to witness the spark of the Industrial Revolution that led to the explosion of technolgical and scientific advances in the 19th, and 20th centuries which ultimately gave us the conquest of space and the computer age, do you really think the absolute height of human achievement, both technological and intellectual, on this planet is being able to ask, " Why does my cat pee in the bathroom sink?" on Y/A ?

I mean, really, WTF ?!?"

===================================================================

That, with no additions or omissions, is the entire question exactly as it was posted. Nothing there to offend anyone with a modicum of a sense of humor, I think? Just a light-hearted little bit of fun, wouldn't you agree? But it was posted by a user known to be critical of Islam on "Yahoo Answers" and, as such, was targeted and flagged by ONE Mohammedan user as offensive, resulting in the termination of that user's entire "Yahoo.com" account.

Other users have had questions or answers critical of Islam deleted and received violation notices BEFORE they were even posted on the site itself.

Questions about the validity of Islamic values and doctrines, or especially those critical of Islamic terrorism, are routinely deleted within half an hour to an hour after their posting.

But, postings by Mohammedans which are offensive in the extreme to Christianity or Judaism, or rabidly anti-Semitic when posted in the "Israel" section are left alone even when they have been known to have received over seventy-five flaggings for violations of the "Community Guidelines".

One such example was posted in the "Egypt" sub-section of the "Travel" heading a little while ago and remained posted for over FOUR DAYS without being deleted even though it had received over sixty flaggings that we were aware of ! !

This is the posting, showing the user's screen-name and the content of the posting exactly as it appeared on "Yahoo Answers":

"but what did YOU do for Palestines or for anyone? tell me if you can hero.. I advise you, rather to criticise the Egyptian people, suggest something to do like demonstration for example if you are Egyptian or tell us about your experience of this matter. Let me now ask you a question: are you really ready to gift your soul for the Palestanian cause? for me I know the answer prematurely, people like you do nothing except complaining but in the serious time, they shut up. For me I am ready to carry out what you called the suicidal missions and what I called martyrdom duty and I am ready right now, do you know a struggleful cell which I can join to it?? by the way.. it is not joke!"

====================================================================
This is a typical example of the type of language used by Mohammedan "Yahoo.com" users when discussing Israel, Jews, Zionism, etc. in the "Yahoo Answers" site.

And, as you can see, this was left untouched by the Yahoo moderators for over four days!

This, I believe I can safely say, was a blatant statement of terrorist intent and, by refusing to delete it, "Yahoo.com" implictly aided and abetted this individual's clear intention to influence others to commit similar acts of terror.

A disturbing example of "Yahoo.com"s collaberation with "YouTube" in censoring material critical of Islam or Arab states was the recent termination of the "Yahoo"e-mail account ( FYI: wa2el_3abbas@yahoo.com ) and "YouYube" account of a prominant and internationally respected Egyptian human rights activist, Wael Abbas, who had posted graphic videos of the torture of prisoners in Egyptian police custody on his website http://misrdigital.blogspirit.com/
It was only after an international uproar and expressions of outrage that both "Yahoo" and "YouTube" restored the deleted material.

While "Yahoo.com" has been willing, even eager, to act as a watchdog in the interests of its Mohammedan users, it has also been supine in the extreme in allowing offensive comments or postings regarding Christianity or Judaism by those same Mohammedans or, just as frequently, atheists who routinely disparage any and all religious faiths in the most offensive manners imaginable.

Luckily, in the "Yahoo Answers" community, the overwhelming impression one receives is that the vast majority of users realize this manipulation and continue to expose postings by Islamic apologists to the ridicule and contempt they so richly deserve.

I might suggest that the "Yahoo Answers" moderators keep in mind Abraham Lincoln and his justly famous statement that "You can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."

Sexual Abuse of Children Authorized by Islamic Clerics

This is a great example of the true nature of Islam.

With the cancer of Pedophilia sweeping the globe through the media of the Internet, there are more and more children being subjected to some of the most horrendous sexual abuses. This problem has been high-lighted in recent years with the revelations that Catholic clerics had been, for generations, abusing the children under their spiritual care.

In response to these revelations, the Catholic Church has instituted new regulations concerning the behaviour of celibate clergy when interacting with children in their parishes.

With the outrage of the Western world at these sexual atrocities and the almost visible cloud of shame that has overshadowed the Catholic Church, Mohammedan clerics have now come out, in an extremely vocal and agressive manner IN SUPPORT of sexual child abuse ! !

In a way, this is hardly surprising, since one of Mohammed's "wives" was barely six years old !

This is hardly anti-Mohammedan "propoganda", since the Mohammedan scriptures themselves state, "The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)." (Sahih Bukhari 7.88)

I think that if you view the following video you'll have to agree that, in this age of rampant pedophilia, this kind of "religious" acceptance and encouragement of sexual abuse of children constitutes one of the most egregious and depraved doctrines that could possibly be imagined.

While the Catholic Church has admitted its shame and attempted to rectify its sins, the Mohammedans are revelling in these abominations.

Please watch the video, and let us know what you think through your comments.

Regarding the practice of "thighing", the masterbating between the legs of a female infant or actually sodomizing her, Islamic clerics have this to say:

PEDOPHILIA LAWS FROM ISLAMIC-FATWA.NET

Question 1809

After the permanent committee for the scientific research and fatwahs (religious decrees) reviewed the question forwarded by the grand scholar of the committee with reference number 1809 issued on 3/5/1453 and 7/5/1421 (Islamic calendar)

Question: ‘It has become widespread these days, and especially during weddings, the habit of mufa’khathat of the children. (mufa’khathat - literally translated, it means “placing between the thighs” which means placing the male member between the thighs of a child).

What is the opinion of scholars, knowing full well that the prophet, the peace of Allah be upon him, also practiced the “thighing” of Aisha - the mother of believers - may Allah be pleased with her ?

Answer: After studying the issue, the committee has answered as follows:

As for the prophet, his thighing his fiancée Aisha when she was six years of age and not able to consummate the relationship was due to her small age. That is why the Prophet used to place his male member between her thighs and massage it, as the prophet had control of his male member not like other men.

Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, The Supreme Leader of Iran, the Shia Grand Ayatollah, 1979-89 said in his official statements:

"A man can quench his sexual lusts with a child as young as a baby. However, he should not penetrate. Sodomizing the baby is halal (allowed by sharia). If the man penetrates and damages the child, then he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl, however, does not count as one of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the girl’s sister. It is better for a girl to marry when her menstruation starts, and at her husband's house rather than her father's home. Any father marrying his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven."

Khomeini, "Tahrirolvasyleh" fourth volume, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran, 1990

“It is not illegal for an adult male to 'thigh' or enjoy a young girl who is still in the age of weaning; meaning to place his penis between her thighs, and to kiss her.”

Ayatu Allah Al Khumaini's "Tahrir Al wasila" p. 241, issue number 12

"Young boys or girls in full sexual effervescence are kept from getting married before they reach the legal age of majority. This is against the intention of divine laws. Why should the marriage of pubescent girls and boys be forbidden because they are still minors, when they are allowed to listen to the radio and to sexually arousing music?"

MUHAMMAD, THE PROPHET OF ISLAM

PART 1 MECCA

An Arab is regarded as an old man, a sheik, when he is fifty.

Muhammad married Aisha when she was six years old in Mecca and she joined him in Medina three years later when he was 53. He began having sex with Aisha when she was nine years old and still playing with dolls.

This is the original story told by the ONLY valid biographers of Muhammad and Islam, Ibn Ishaq and Tabari, and the hadiths of Bukhari and Muslim. Refer also to the works of the Qur’an commentators Ibn Kathir and Ibn Qayyim. (Ibn Kathir, The Life of the Prophet Muhammad (Al-Sira al-Nabawiyya), Volume II, translated by professor Trevor Le Gassick, Garnet Publishing Limited, UK. The Center for Muslim Contribution to Civilization, 2000. pp. 93-94)
(Ibn Qayyim Al-Juaziyyah, Zad-ul Ma’ad fi Hadyi Khairi-l ‘Ibad (Provisions for the Hereafter, From the Guidance of Allah’s Best Worshipper) translated by Jalal Abualrub, [Madinah Publishers & Distributors, December 2000] Volume I, pp. 157-158)

Muhammad said that he had dreamed of Aisha before demanding her from her father, and his own brother in Islam, Abu Bakr, claiming special ‘prophets rights’ when Abu Bakr was reluctant to give her to him.

Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 235: Narrated 'Aisha: That the Prophet said to her, "You have been shown to me twice in my dreams. I saw you pictured on a piece of silk and someone said to me, 'This is your wife.' When I uncovered the picture, I saw that it was yours. I said, 'If this is from Allah, it will be done."

Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 18: Narrated 'Ursa: The Prophet asked Abu Bakr for 'Aisha's hand in marriage. Abu Bakr said "But I am your brother!"

The Prophet said, "You are my brother in Allah's religion and His Book, but she (Aisha) is lawful for me to marry."

Marriage to a female already offered to another was illegal in Arab law. Abu Bakr had already arranged for Aisha to marry Djubayr Mutim.

Muhammad married ‘A’isha in Mecca when she was a child of six and lived with her in Medina when she was nine or ten. She was the only virgin that he married. Her father, Abu Bakr, married her to him and the apostle gave her four hundred dirhams. (Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasulullah (The Life of Muhammad) translated by Alfred Guillaume [Oxford University Press, p. 792)
Tabari VII:7 “The Prophet married Aisha in Mecca three years before the Hijrah, after the death of Khadija. At the time she was six.”

Tabari IX:128 “When the Prophet married Aisha, she was very young and not yet ready for consummation.” [The History of Al-Tabari: The Foundation of the Community] translated by M.V. McDonald annotated by W. Montgomery Watt [State University of New York Press, Albany 1987], Volume VII, pp. 6-7) (The History of Al-Tabari: The Last Years of the Prophet, translated and annotated by Ismail K. Poonawala [State University of New York Press, Albany 1990], Volume IX, pp. 129-130)

Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 236: Narrated Hisham's father: Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he married 'Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consummated that marriage when she was nine years old.

An "Infidel" in Israel

This article was published in The Jerusalem Post on October 23, 2007
The article was written by Lela Gilbert


Nonie Darwish was born in Cairo, and in the early 1950s moved with her family
to Egyptian-occupied Gaza, where her father, Lt.-Gen. Mustafa Hafez, was
appointed by president Gamal Abdel Nasser to command Egyptian army intelligence. Hafez founded Palestinian fedayeen units to launch terrorist raids across Israel's southern border. Between 1951 and 1956, the fedayeen killed some 400 Israelis. In July 1956, when Nonie was eight, her father became the IDF's first targeted assassination. He was immediately recognized as a shahid - a martyr for jihad. Nonie eventually graduated from the American University, and later worked as a journalist. In 1978 she moved to the US, where she has become a Christian.

Nonie Darwish's book "Now They Call Me Infidel" fascinated me, and I remember thinking as I read it that I would love to meet this woman. The opportunity came during her recent visit to Jerusalem to speak at the Feast of Tabernacles.

We began our conversation by talking about her family background.

You attended elementary school in Gaza. What was that like?

"In elementary school we learned hatred, vengeance and retaliation; peace was never an option, but a sign of defeat and weakness. Teachers filled our hearts with fear of Jews; that made hatred come easy and terrorism acceptable, even honorable. Looking back, I never heard a peace song in Arabic. All we heard were songs glorifying jihad, martyrdom and winning wars."

In "Now They Call Me Infidel", you wrote about the difficulties your mother faced as a widow, even though your father was an Egyptian hero. What was life like for you and your family after he died?


"After my father's death, my mother had to face life alone with five children in a culture that respects only families headed by a man. In the 1950s few women drove, and she was called names for buying a car to take us to school."
You've said that you gradually began to question the culture you lived in. Do any specific incidents come to mind that were turning points?


"I remember visiting a Christian friend in Cairo during the Friday prayers, and we both heard the verbal attacks on Christians and Jews from the loudspeakers. We heard "May God destroy the infidels and the Jews, the enemies of God…" and believe it or not, if you grow up with cursing prayers, they can sound and feel normal. But my Christian friend looked scared, and I was ashamed. That was when I first realized something was wrong with the way my religion was taught and practiced."
You are very outspoken in your book about the grave consequences of polygamy on women in the Arab culture. Why?


"Polygamy has a devastating effect on family dynamics, on the husband/wife relationship and on women's relationships with other women. Many Muslim men have only one wife, but the damage to the wife/husband relationship has already been done in the Muslim marriage contract, in which a man doesn't pledge loyalty to his wife. Besides the name of the bride, the marriage contract has three spaces left blank, to be filled with the names of any other women the man later wishes to marry. Yet in spite of this, a good Muslim woman must accept her destiny under Shari'a law..."
How would you describe Shari'a law?

"Under Islamic Shari'a law, punishments include flogging, stoning, beheading and amputation of limbs. These are cruel and unusual punishments by Western standards. Leaving Islam is punishable by death. Even if an Islamic state fails to kill an apostate, his death is guaranteed at the hands of a street mob. That makes Islam more than a religion; it's a state, with an elaborate legal system that can put you to death if you leave it. Shari'a guarantees that there is no crossing the "Berlin Wall" of the Muslim state... Amazingly, the majority of Muslim countries don't practice criminal Shari'a simply because they can't stomach it. But family Shari'a law is in every Muslim country. It allows only men the right to an easy divorce, permits up to four wives and allows wife beating. A woman is respected only when she hides her body, face and even her identity."

You've been to Israel several times. In your view, how does it differ from the rest of the Middle East?

"Israel really brings hope to the region. Israel is the only country in the Middle East that allows religious freedom. Even though it is the tiniest country in the region, it is not afraid to allow Muslims to have mosques to pray in; it is not afraid to allow Christians all these freedoms. It is really a credit to Judaism that it doesn't have the possessiveness Islam has. You know, it's amazing, with all the land the Muslims have, and all the wealth from oil, and all the armies, that no Arab country is secure in its existence. Why else would 1.2 billion Muslims feel threatened by five million Jews? It says a lot. And I've learned that the fear and hate are by design - of Islam's religious educators, its political leadership and its intellectuals. Hatred for Israel is part of how the Arab world operates. They need an enemy. Because there is so much turmoil inside the Muslim world and no one can really name the reason. Why do we have so much turmoil? Why do we have so much anger? Why do we have such rage in our families? They don't dare say it's because of Shari'a."

You still have family members in Egypt. When did you last see them, and what were your thoughts about life there during your visit?

"In August 2001 I visited my birthplace. I was stunned to see how radical Islam had taken over. The level of anger and hate speech was alarming. I saw extreme poverty, pollution, hazardous material and garbage along the Nile. There was high unemployment, inflation and widespread corruption. But when I read the Arab media, all I saw was the bashing of Israel and America. Citizens were unaware of Muslim-against-Muslim atrocities in Iraq, Algeria, Sudan and so forth. I was happy to return to the US on the evening of September 10, 2001."

So the next morning…?

"The next morning, when I saw the second plane hit the Twin Towers, I thought, 'Jihad has come to America.' Muhammad Atta was from Cairo, the same city I came from.

I called several friends in Cairo that day, but they were all in denial and asked me, "How dare you say that Arabs did this? Don't you know this is a Jewish conspiracy?"

Were the people you talked to affiliated with radical Islam?

"No, these were not radicals, but ordinary Egyptians, who are otherwise very nice people. I hung up and felt alone and disconnected from my culture of origin. Once again, my people are accusing the Jews of something we know very well that we Arabs have done... I started speaking after 9/11 out of respect for the 3,000 fellow Americans who died that day. I also spoke out of empathy for Israel - a country that deserves our respect and not our hatred. And today I speak out of love for my culture of origin, which is in desperate need of reformation. Arab terrorism is destroying the moral fabric and goodness in Arab culture."

You have written about the role envy plays in the Muslim world, describing it as a root of anti-American and anti-Israel thinking. Can you explain what you mean?

"As Muslims we fear the evil eye of others. We call it "hasad", which means envy. Unlike Christian teaching, which regards envy as a sin of the person who envies, in Islam envy is viewed as a curse brought upon one person by the evil eye of another. As a result we often see Muslims hide good news or keep their distance. Even giving a compliment is dangerous; it could be taken as a curse. The end result is a population that is extremely distrustful of one another...
Islamists are blinded by envy and can't understand Israel's success. They say it must be due to conspiracy and not merit... They have forgotten that Jewish success is due to a culture that promotes excellence and is blessed with self-discipline, education, dedication and a drive to leave this world a better place. There is no conspiracy there! If Arabs want to compete with Jews, let them do it in the realm of innovation and education, and not by terrorizing and eliminating the opposition. Arab mistakes are blamed on Israel, the West, past injustice or colonialism. Looking at a map of Israel in relationship to the Arab world tells us that Arabs don't need land; they need tolerance. There is no shortage of land. There is a shortage of freedom."

Exactly how do Muslim preachers stir up envy and hatred against non-Muslims?

"Non-Muslims are not just cursed, but are often described as "nagas", Arabic for "filth." The Times of London reported that Muslim students in Britain are being taught to despise non-Muslims as filth. That is why many Arabs believe that the existence of non-Muslims on Muslim land is a desecration... That is why America's defense of the Muslims against the Serbs, the Afghani Muslims against the Soviet Union, feeding Somali Muslims starved by their own leadership, received no credit in the Muslim world. In fact, the results are just the opposite; the more we try to help stabilize the region, the more we are despised. Muslims do not want to be rescued by infidels. This is a proud culture that is easily shamed by feelings of dependency on non-Muslims."

Besides your book, explain the other work you are doing.


"In February 2004, I started an organization called Arabs for Israel. Some criticized the name, claiming it implied a lack of support for Arabs. But to support Israel doesn't mean being anti-Arab. I love my people, but for peace to happen, we need a big leap, a new attitude; forgiveness and compassion. We Arabs need to ask "What can we do?" and not focus on what Israel must do to build trust, respect and peace... Improving living conditions for Arabs is not Israel's responsibility, it is the Arabs' responsibility. And Arab kids don't need hatred, they need hope. They don't need jihad, they need jobs."

What are your fears for Israel?

"My greatest fear for Israel is that it will lose the will to fight. Its founders are dying off, and now the same liberalism that is making the West weak is here too. I'm afraid Israel will give away too much, and the country will become too small to defend. Because the more you give, the more the Arabs want; it's part of the Arab culture. My Arab people are beautiful people, and I pray to God that they will find forgiveness in their hearts."



And "Amen" from the staff here on the blog!

Zionism as Opposed to Nazism / Islam

There have been numerous attempts by the "tin-foil-hatted" Mohammedan anti-Semites to equate Zionism to Nazism.

The difference between these two types of movements is clear to the most jaundiced eye.

Zionism was, and is, a movement for the re-establishment of, and return to, a secure homeland for a people who were conquered and forcibly exiled by the Romans two thousand years ago and subsequently suffered unprecedented persecution and oppression at the hands of both the Christian and Islamic communities who were desperately attempting to distance themselves from the Judaic roots of their religions.

At no time have Jews charaterized themselves as "superior" to any other people.

The catch-phrase of all anti-Semites, "the chosen people", refers solely to the fact that the God of Israel ( I repeat . . . the God of ISRAEL) acknowledged that He had chosen Israel to be His people. There is NO reference in the Jewish scriptures DENYING the existance of other gods. There are, in fact numerous references to many different gods . . . it simply states that the nation of Israel, specifically, is forbidden to worship them or to have intimate relations with those who do.

If you believe in Ba'al, Woden, Allah, Mohammad, Shiva, Buddha, Jesus, Wicca, Zeus, etc., Judaism couldn't care less . . . more power to you.

But no dedicated Jew will follow those beliefs voluntarily.

Another extremely interesting similarity between Nazism and Islam is the rabid assertions that Jews invented democracy, communism, human rights, animals rights, etc. That these could be conceived as negative achievements shows the glaring differences between Judaism, which encourages intellectual and philosophical diversity and the Nazi/Islamic mentality which so virulently suppresses any such freedoms.

As for Jews inventing democracy, that refers to the Biblical commandment that, during the forty year experience in the desert, those following Moses were commanded to chose freely among themselves the leaders of groups of ten, then those group leaders would choose from among themselves leaders of hundreds, etc. until they reached the leaders of groups of ten thousand. When critical matters arose which couldn't be decided by these sub-leaders, they brought the problems to Moses for final adjudication.

That communism, a political philosophy formulated by Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels, was a reaction to the overwhelmingly inhumane conditions suffered by the average worker during the Industrial Revolution in England under the control of PROTESTANT industrialists is universially ignored by anti-Semites.

Both Nazism and Islam consider all these (democracy, communism, human rights, animal rights, etc.) to be abominations because they imply an innate dignity and respect for the individual.

Human rights are guaranteed in the Biblical scriptures for women, where there were no such guarantees previously, there are guarantees for the rights of slaves ( and the OBLIGATORY release of those slaves after seven years) where NO other people or nation gave such rights.

Animal rights and the requirement for the care and consideration of both domestic and wild animals are also an integral part of Judaism.

Another unique feature of Judaism, which is anathama to both Nazism and Islam, is its consistant REFUSAL to accept new members into the community unless they are absolutely and FREELY determined to become Jewish.

Contrast those few examples of Jewish religious tenents with both National Socialism and Islam.

Both National Socialism and Islam are based on the ideology of the superiority of a certain race or religious belief.

Both National Socialism and Islam are forces which demand submission or extermination.

Both National Socialism and Islam demand blind acceptance of, and submission to, a central leader. In the case of National Socialism it was Adolph Hitler, with Islam it is Mohammed.

Both National Socialism and Islam purport to be "superior" to all other peoples or religions.

Both National Socialism and Islam are monolithic belief systems which persecute and oppress those who they believe to be "inferior" to them.

The similarities between National Socialism and Islam are virtually endless, but the examples given above are enough to make my point.

If a Mohammedan Imam opposes the terrorism of Mohammedans, he risks his life in doing so, and Mohammedan clerics have been killed in Europe and elsewhere for voicing just such opinions.

NO rabbis have been murdered for any "tin-foil-hatted" anti-Semitic or "anti-Zionist" statements . . . they're just ignored by the rest of the Jewish community . . . and bound with hoops of steel to the bosoms of the anti-Semites who pounce on these pronouncements as gospel.

The very fact that you state that you can read a Neturai Karta rabbi comparing Zionism to Nazism or a Noam Chomsky denegrating Judaism itself shows the leeway Judaism has in the scope of the beliefs it encompasses.

For those who have this image of tiny Israel as a monstrous, overshadowing threat to civilization, I have just answer one question . . .

"How many hundreds of thousands of Muslims live in Israel, with passports they can freely use to leave that " Zionist" country if they so wish, and how many Jews live freely and safely in Gaza . . . or in Saudi Arabia ( or Iran, Iraq, UAE, Qatar, etc.)?
