The Jews have been making changes to their laws from the time Moses first revealed the Ten Commandments at Sinai. Many of the changes occurred when the Jews returned from exile in Babylon and built the Second Temple. It was at the end of this period that the Rabbis found that the death penalty was too draconian a punishment for civilized peoples.

When Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed there were few Shariah-compliant Muslims living in America. The Muslims we did have, such as the Nation of Islam, are so far removed from actual Islam that they do not matter for the purposes of this discussion.

Regular reader Bernard Wishnia sent me an email joke which has nothing to do with Obama, but I immediately recognized that it applied to his chances for re-election in 2012.

The CEO of the company, Kujaatele Kweli, told Local 6 News that they have tried to create an office that accommodates anybody's religion -- not just Islam. However, if there is anything that conflicts with Muslim accommodation, then there is no accommodation for that religion.

In September of 1984, almost 4 decades after the Holocaust, the Catholic Archdiocese of Krakow in Poland wanted to construct a Carmelite nuns' convent in the building of the so-called Old Theater adjacent to the walls of the concentration camp we call Auschwitz.

This is precisely why I voted for an incompetent, imbecile socialist who has no clue how the American economy really works. Thanks to Obama gold is more than $1200 per ounce, and if he carries through on all his policies I expect it to go to $2400 per ounce. I voted for Obama because I own gold and he will make me rich. For those who voted for him expecting hope and change, don't you feel foolish now?

I do not like this 'YES, WE CAN.'
I do not like this spending spree,
I'm smart, I know that nothing's free.
I do not like your smug replies,
when I complain about your lies.

In response to one of my posts filled with anti-Muslim jokes, zara (a reader from the city of Reading in the UK) left this comment today: "you guys are the most mean people on earth."

The majority of Americans do not want his Health Care bill. President Obama doesn't care what we want.
This is the most "Me the President" we have ever elected.

A few months ago I added a widget called LinkWithin to the bottom of my blog posts to encourage my readers to explore related articles on my site. The results have been fantastic. With the addition of a very simple snippet of code, I was able to increase my pageviews by 8% which translates to an additional 120,000 page hits a year.

Three Muslims were hiking through a forest when they came upon a large raging, violent river.

We finished day 15 of our vacation at Disney World in Orlando. We'll be home before midnight after a two hour flight. Actually I'm blogging right now from Orlando International Airport which has free Wi-Fi at all the gates.

This is the arrogance Muslims have when they are barely 0.1% of our population. Imagine what they will be asking for when there are 1% or 10% Muslims in America. If the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sides with this woman against Disney then one day your children will be visiting Cinderella dressed in full hijab.

It might surprise some of my readers to learn that the Jordan has 5 times as many Palestinians yet we never read of rocket attacks coming from the Jordan. The answer might be because Jordan granted most of the Palestinian refugees citizenship in 1950. The percentage of Palestinians living in refugee camps in the Jordan to those who were absorbed into the country is the lowest among all of the refugee camps.

Almost every person I talk to in this country actually believes Islam is a religion. It seemed to me as if I were in some Twilight Zone. Imagine how you would feel if the majority of people you met believed that the Earth was flat. Then I took the following quick current events test from the Pew Research Center...

Here is an easy quiz: look at the following extinction timeline and tell me what is missing from the chart. click on the image for a detailed view (PDF 1.2MB).

It seems Obama is just as misinformed as most Americans about who we were hosting at a dinner 200 years ago. Obama wants us to believe that Sidi Soliman Mellimelli from Tunisia was the first Muslim ambassador to the United States. No, he was here to get blood money for the release of American sailors captured by Muslim pirates and to negotiate for restitution for Tunisian vessels the US captured for trying to run our blockade of Tripoli.

Former Congressman Joe Scarborough, hosting his “Morning Joe” show on MSNBC this morning criticized Newt Gingrich for rightfully comparing the Ground Zero Mosque To a ‘Nazi Sign Next To the Holocaust Museum.’
I am amazed at how seemingly intelligent people continue to believe that Islam is a religion - it is not and never was a religion. Hey, Joe, you idiot, this is a political issue - nothing to do with religion.

It wasn't until the fall of Communism that the citizens of Pilsen finally learned who it was that liberated their city and so every year since 1990 the city has held a "Liberation Festival" to honor American soldiers. The festival has become a local tradition and many American and Allied veterans make it a point to attend.

"This is about tolerance...tolerance of tyrannical ideologies pretending to be religions...tolerance of death at the hands of murdering Muslims...tolerance of those who stone women...As Americans, we celebrate this rich diversity..."

It is day 8 of our Disney vacation and day 4 of Ramadan 2010 and day 17 since Pakistan was hit by the worst monsoon floods in decades which to date has killed more than 1500 Muslims. I write 'Muslims' instead of 'Pakistanis' because I want to make a point about Muslim generosity.

Fans of Walt Disney films will remember Fred MacMurray as the dog-hating father in Disney's first live-action comedy, The Shaggy Dog (1959). What some may not know is that he played bad guy roles in the 1940s and was one of Hollywood's highest paid actors in 1943 with a salary of $420,000.

Before there was Disney, amusement rides were generic affairs. A kiddie ride was just a kiddie ride. Disney turned the ride into a themed whole with the architecture, landscaping, and even the food supporting a specific movie and set of characters. More often than not the ride exits into a store selling the themed products.

In my article When is Too Many Muslims? I noted: "As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone." Actually I was wrong - I should amend that to one-tenth of 1%. We have 1% Muslims in America and at that level they are indeed a big pain in the ass.

I love the way Disney keeps its resorts clean. I enjoy their hospitality and the value they place on their customers. I think they do a great job in promoting the Disney brand. In almost all respects they run a great business. However, they still don't get the Internet.

The Magic Kingdom fireworks view from the 11th floor of Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort is more spectacular than even at the Magic Kingdom itself. Instead of only seeing a small section of sky from the ground at the park, we see the entire panoramic display from our balcony.

One of the fastest ways to Newark Airport requires going on the New Jersey Turnpike and so I was shocked to see our driver getting into the cash lane instead of the EZPASS lane. The driver said his boss didn't want his drivers getting EZPASS. It took us an additional ten minutes to go through the toll than it should have taken.

We're heading for Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida.

Dead links show up somewhere in my blog every single week. To root these out I have engaged the services of a part-time person. I also get some help from my readers who email me that a particular link now points to a spam site that took the domain name abandoned by the original blogger. In some instances the article URL disappears because the blogger changed blogging platforms and somehow lost some of the archived posts.

In 1962 Israeli artist Ezra Orien took the town dump and turned it into a tourist attraction. The sculpture park was built in two stages. In 1963 Oren invited artists from all over the world to Mitzpe Ramon giving them carte blanche to create whatever suited their fancy. 20 years later Israeli sculptors were invited to add works that would fit in with the landscape.

Criminals come in all colors and nationalities. Blacks do not have a genetic disposition toward violence and murder; However, we cannot ignore the fact that there is a class of Black youths who harbor a most murderous rage toward Jews, Asians, and anyone else who they feel exploits them.

It's so depressing to hear idiots like Mike Bloomberg and President Obama carry on about the Mosque at Ground Zero as if this was a matter of religious tolerance. It has nothing to do with religion or tolerance. It has to do with impudence and arrogance. The impudence and arrogance of Muslims to even want to put anything Islamic that close to hallowed ground.

Jabbar Collins was released today after spending 16 years in prison for a murder he did not commit. Collins spent years as a jailhouse lawyer gathering the evidence that proved that Assistant District Attorney Michael Vecchione suppressed exculpatory evidence at his 1995 trial.

Yeah, I said it: Let Them Build that Mosque at Ground Zero. Let me tell you why. Imagine if after WWII the Japanese built a Shinto Shrine to commemorate the deaths of their flying heroes and placed it on the shore so that from the rooftop one could easily view the USS Arizona Memorial in Pear Harbor. Wouldn't that have been nice?

Given a choice between an Apple product or a knock-off I will choose the knock-off because I will be treated better by that manufacturer, I will not be locked into buying peripheral products at inflated prices, and I will have a greater choice of colors, sizes, and models than with any Apple product.

Look at the photo of this happy couple. Megan McAllister and Phil Markoff were both 19 years old when they started dating in 2005. In 2007 they became medical graduates from the State University of New York-Albany and became engaged on 17 May 2008 setting the date for the wedding for 14 August 2009.
