I was born with the name Benzion; in Hebrew it means "son of Zion (Jerusalem or the Biblical Land of Israel)". May I assume then, that I am the personified reflection of Jerusalem and the Jewish people as foretold in the Old Testament? May I assume that wherever the word "Son" and the word "Zion" appear together in the Holy Texts that they are foretelling of the coming of my blog?
The Torah merely recites ancient history such as when the Israelites slew the Amalekites, there is no demand that modern Jews go do likewise. The Qur'an does not recite old wars, it prescribes new ones. The Torah is a history of past conquests and subjugations, the Qur'an is a military handbook enjoining present day Muslims to create new conquests and subjugations.
This is Mohammed's opinion of love: "By the Prophets and all that is holy, there is nothing more pleasing to Allah than to see a Muslim lying in blissful embrace with a goat. Not just any goat, but one smelling of myrrh and dainty orchids. Such a coupling is of the greatest of all rewards, surpassing all other joys." Abu Planck Hadiths 24:7
Christians are commanded to “Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s”. However, there is no such obligation for Muslims. In Muslim teaching and experience, there was no Caesar. God was the head of the state, and Muhammad his Prophet taught and ruled on his behalf.
The year is 2008 and President Walter Emerson and his entourage are stuck in a small Colorado diner because of a raging snowstorm. While there, a TV broadcast cuts to a story that Uday Hussein, the current Iraqi dictator and son of Saddam Hussein, has sent his troops into Kuwait, and is preparing to overrun Saudi Arabia and then attack Israel.
I am violently opposed to any group buying a restaurant franchise and eliminating dishes they find offensive. If you buy a McDonalds or KFC, then leave the menu alone. Otherwise one day Hindus will buy McDonald's and eliminate beef from my hamburgers. Muslims will eliminate sausage from my sausage, egg and cheese. Vegans will eliminate everything except the garden salad.
Vivian Schiller, the CEO of NPR, is an idiot. When Juan Williams voiced personal feelings about sitting on an airplane with passengers in Muslim garb, he was saying exactly what the overwhelming majority of sane Americans would say. Idiot Schiller implied that Williams should see a psychiatrist to deal with those feelings.
Islam will soon be held immune from any criticism in our newspapers, on television, and eventually in private conversations. Ordinary citizens in 1930s Germany were afraid to criticize Nazis. Ordinary citizens in Soviet Russia were afraid to criticize Communists. Now in America in 2010, if you dare tell the truth about your fears about Islam, you will lose your job.
Let me apologize to my female readers, some of whom may not enjoy being exposed to vulgarity. But in my defense I I did clean up the title a bit. I am not purposely displaying photos of women with callipygian assets (no pun intended) just to titillate (no pun intended) my readers but to make a political statement that needs to be broadly (no pun intended) bruited about.
A NY City subway car filled with people of many cultures. However, my experience is that the young Chinese, Hindu, Koreans, Russians, and other children of immigrants in New York learn our language, become indistinguishable from native New Yorkers, have jobs and contribute to society. Groups who do not assimilate and learn to speak English are doomed to be criminals and dependent on welfare.
One of the enduring myths of the Great Depression is that FDR helped to end it. The truth is, FDR was an idiot who had no understanding of Capitalism and instead of ending the depression he prolonged it with a disastrous monetary contraction policy and failed socialist programs. If not for WWII, we would have been locked into a permanent depression for decades more.
It is not illegal to fart in a crowded restaurant. No one will arrest you for doing so. But just because you have the right does not mean it is appropriate even if you are used to doing it in Assurabia. In America, we like to think that passing gas while other people are eating is uncivilized, disrespectful, thoughtless, and rude.
According to Muslim belief, everything one longs for in this world, will be there in Paradise. Rivers of wine and clear drink, an unending supply of nubile young women of "dazzling whiteness" wearing costly robes, golden and diamond studded bracelets, perfumes from the essences of the most exotic orchids.
So let me understand Ahmed: if we allow one mosque near Ground Zero, that will send a strong message to terrorists that they should not war against America? Then perhaps they didn't get the memo: there are thousands and thousands of Mosques in America, almost a thousand alone in Google maps for mosques near Manhattan, New York, NY.
Let it be noted that it is not against the law to be naked in Boulder Colorado. So this moron, Mark Beckner, had to go through textual contortions to turn a harmless bit of fun into a sexual offense. Chief Moron Beckner twisted Colorado's indecent exposure statute, which makes it a Class 1 misdemeanor for anyone to knowingly expose his or her genitals in circumstances "likely to cause affront or alarm," and applied it to nude pumpkin runners saying, "a throng of naked people with jack-o-lanterns on their heads is, by definition, an alarming sight."
It never fails. Muslims who defend Palestinians ignore the barbarities of Hamas and Hezbollah upon their own people, deaths far in excess of anything Israel has ever done and call every single thing Israelis do, no matter how benign, a war crime. In response to my article, a reader from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia left this comment: "watch this film about israeli war crimes by former israeli soldiers here:"
I have Question in regard to a web page I visited today, in the photo (seen here) the article informs me that Manal Saba'na, a 22 year old Palestinian woman, is in prison for recruiting women to become suicide bombers.
If a film is based on real events, on real people, and the dramatization and combination of characters only enhances the plot action but does not materially change the true nature of the participants, then even if the characters are portrayed doing evil things, the film cannot be categorized as being negative.
If you are wondering what's up with the image at the top of the page, on 5 June 2010 Google honored Dennis Gabor the inventor of holography by displaying the Google doodle/logo.
While the country was gearing up for Akshay Trithiya, India's top space scientists were busy seeking the blessings of Lord Balaji at the Tirupati temple for a safe launch of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle. A miniature model of the rocket was laid in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple and prayed over by priests in the presence of 15 scientists. Scientists, who have not let go their own security blanket of gods, can hardly be expected to question the comforting but false illusions astrologers sell to ordinary people.
There have been hundreds of Hollywood films where some corporate CEO is intent on taking over the world and has henchman going around killing anyone who gets in his way. No one has ever complained that this stereotype is complete nonsense: there has never existed in real life, a CEO of a corporation involved in trying to take over the world. Yet Hollywood keeps churning out films like Scanners (1981)
On 7 August 1998 hundreds of people were killed and more than 4,000 injured in simultaneous truck bomb explosions at the United States embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya. The Egyptian Islamic Jihad members responsible for the bombings knew that at most only a dozen Americans worked at the embassies and that many times more Muslims would be killed; despite that, they were still willing to kill many Muslims even if only a few Americans died. The reason? Muslims who died would be rewarded in Paradise, so it doesn't matter how many died, Allah would sort it out.
this afternoon I spent an hour or two at the Department of Consumer Affairs in New York City to register a gold buying business and you know what? The place was filled with immigrants. Arabs, Hungarians, Somalis, Russians, all the various ethnic groups of New York were there ready to start their own business and grab a piece of the American Dream. There were hundreds of them in the little time I spent there, easily thousands of future entrepreneurs every week.
The reason that girls this young can be married is to prevent rape or illicit sex. Yeah, you are reading right. Since men and women cannot be alone together, men get very frustrated and if they cannot vent this frustration legally, they will go out and either rape some poor girl or if the girl is not married off while young there is the chance that she will engage in an illicit relationship.
Bangladesh is a country of 156,050,883 miserable poor souls snuggled into the armpit of India, see map above. If you are wondering how a country finds itself completely surrounded by another country, it should be explained that Bangladesh was once historically, geographically, culturally part of India.
