DN: om inte Israel bryr sig mer om araber än judar är de extremnationalister!

Jag läste just Nathan Shachars skröna i DN, och undrar varför han får betalt för att förvrida synen på Israel i Sverige. Han häver ur sej saker som att ingen bryr sej om ekonomi och utbildning, precis som om han inte har läst Netanyahus alla uttalanden under flera månader - bara för att de inte har lämnat några spår i svenska media. Han rör inte vid det faktum att alla araber i Israel har full rösträtt och alla nästan alla rättigheter och skyldigheter. De kan bli soldater om de vill och passerar säkerhetstesterna - de behöver inte. De har alla rättigheter som är kompatibla med det enkla förhållandet att Israel är världens enda fristad för alla judar. Man behöver enbart mikroskopisk kunskap om historia för att inse nödvändigheten. Tänk om Israel hade funnits för 70 år sedan! Där finns väl fortfarande inte lika många judar nu som då tack vare européerna. Efter 1945 tog araberna som ledare av antisemitismen. Livni må passa på ett disco i Tel Avivs slum - jag har själv bott i den några månader - men Israel består faktiskt av mer än Tel Aviv! Även om Livni och Ahmedinejad önskar att alla judar samlas där. Enklare att träffa. "Återuppbyggnad av Gaza" Fortfarande inte ett spår i tidningar som DN av kommentarer till hur Hamas ägnade tre år åt att förstöra alla möjligheter i Gaza, efter det att judarna lämnade mer än 3000 toppmoderna mycket lönande växthus, och en industriby som hade givit många araber bra jobb i flera decennier - allt förstörde de. Inte för att det nämndes i svenska tidningar, varken då eller nu. Vem bryr sej om vad som händer långt borta i Orienten om man inte kan anklaga judarna för det. Judarna byggde upp mönsterbyar på oanvändbart land i Gaza under generationer, lämnade därefter mangrant stället. Vad araberna där gjorde - tja, du lär dej inte nåt i svenska media, bara snyfthistorier om hur synd det är om dom. Sverige har inte gjort ett skapandes grand för att hjälpa till att stoppa vapeninförseln av Hamas, vilket är det enda som kan hjälpa på längre sikt, speciellt som de muslimska terroristerna inklusive Fatah fortsätter att skjuta raketer in i Israel då och då när de känner för det. Iran må tycka det är kul men araberna i Gaza får definitivt inte ett bättre liv av det! Flera raketer från Gazaterroristerna under söndagsmorgonen Inte ett dyft i svenska media förstås. En Iransk/Rysk gradmissil till Ashkelon. Netanyahu sa det självklara - Kadimaregeringen gör inte ett dyft. Val i Israel Läser SvD och Bitte om högervindarna i Israel, som om det vore något negativt! Det är i högsta grad dags för ett ständigt hotat land som Israel att få en regering som inte börjar regera med ett ökänt utrop om att "vi är åååh så trötta på att försvara oss!" som Olmert gjorde. De inledde men avslutade inte det nödvändiga kriget i Gaza - den nödvändiga avslutningen att se till att inga vapen kunde införas via tunnlar eller havet. Precis som Livni gjorde i norr, hoppas på att FN skulle försvara Israel och stoppa vapenflödet till Hizbollah, så vill hon nu att alla andra, utom Israel, ska stoppa vapenflödet i söder. Den av svenska tidningar hatade israeliska högern kan tänkas göra något åt det, faktiskt. Netanyahu sa från början att det var vansinne att lämna Philadelphikorridoren närmast egyptiska gränsen. Bitte förklarar inte varför rasen judar inte får bo i ett ev. framtida Palestina medan 20% av israelerna är araber och de har inte blivit utslängda än. Ren rasism faktiskt. Gaza blev knappast bättre av att den knappa procenten judar som fanns där, avlägsnades brutalt av Sharon med Olmerts uppmuntran. Olmert vill avsluta sin miserabla "karriär" med att få Hamas att släppa Shalit. Till en kostnad av 1000 terrorister som garanterat kommer att mörda ett antal judar. Hamas ska självklart inte ha ett dugg förrän de återlämnar Shalit levande. Är han död - vilket jag tror efter Hizbollahs miserabla show med människors känslor på motsvarande sätt - ska de självklart inte ha ett dugg. Demonstration i Malmö Efter den proisraeliska demonstrationen för 2 veckor sedan, som blev ett totalt fiasko för poliserna, och oerhört mycket kritik mot dessa, var denna demonstration snarast ett testa dessa för att se om de hade lärt sej något. Åtminstone försökte de att upprätthålla ordningen denna gången, och ett par av de bråkigaste motdemonstranterna sattes i finkan. Läs mer på bloggar som Jihad i Malmö. Några muslimer hade plakat som visade vilken organisation de representerade: I Holland har antisemitiska demonstranter dömts till olika straff. Precis som i Sverige gick socialistledare där i tåg med Hamasflaggor vajande och skrål med "Hamas Hamas Jews to the Gas" . Även i Israel har arabiska vettvillingar attackerat judar - både i Jerusalem och Jaffa. Det verkar som om araber är sig tämligen lika i diverse länder - vad kan det bero på? Israel, Sverige och Holland har väl inte så jättmycket gemensamt. Mer än att de har för många araber för att dessa ska kunna anpassa sej till en mer modern livsform. När hörde vi några araber som gjorde något positivt i stället??? De vill förmodligen inte chockskada sin omgivning. Judarna hatar inte araber som grupp, men de får allt större och större anledning. Hälsning från Japan Jag har läst bitar av detta innan men hittade detta stycke just nu. Read and enjoy! A sincere Muslim wrote:
hello,i am rosli from Malaysia and i am a muslim. i had read what you had writen in the webpage. i totally disaggre the way you mention about us muslim. i think that you did not understand the true meaning of jihad. the best thing to describe islam is "islam is all about peace". the word islam itself mean peace. i want to give you a suggestion if you want to know islam better you must try to read the translation of the holy quran and observe it or you can log on to islamonline.net website to upgrade your knowledge about islam. ok may Allah give you guidance.
Sagamori responds with respect: Dear Rosli, When someone wakes you up in the middle of the coldest, darkest night of the winter and complains how unbearable the heat of the sun has become, he is either calling you from halfway across the world or he is blind and sitting dangerously close to a blazing furnace. When someone tells you in the year 2006 that Islam is all about peace, he can be one of many things. He can be a Jewish liberal looking at the world and the approaching Holocaust through the pink glasses of political correctness. He can be someone as ignorant and unwilling to learn as President Bush. He can be an unapologetic liar like Condoleezza Rice. He can be a ridiculously apologetic coward like Tony Blair. He can be a schizophrenic, because schizophrenics live in an alternate reality. And, last but not least, he can be a Muslim, because Dar el-Islam is an alternate reality. If Islam is all about peace, then I would like you to explain to me why Sunni Iraqis and Shiite Iraqis, instead of uniting against American invaders, are murdering each other to the tune of several dozens a day. > If Israel is truly oppressing the so-called "Palestinians", why are they, instead of uniting against it, are killing each other at a steadily accelerating rate? Why did the war between Iran and Iraq in the 1980's claimed more than a million lives without benefiting either side? Why has the war between Turkish Kurds and "real" Turks, both Muslim people, killed more than 30,000? How could Abdullah Ocalan, the Muslim leader of the Kurds, declare in 1992: "Even if 100,000 people die this year, our movement cannot be disrupted," while knowing that every single one of that impressive number of people whose lives he so easily deemed expendable was a Muslim? How did the combined efforts of Islamic Salvation Army and Armed Islamic Group result in a civil war in Algeria that produced 150 to 200 thousand Muslim casualties between 1991 and 2002? And look at Mecca, the holiest place of Islam, during the hajj, the holiest event of a Muslim's life. Here is a brief (and, by far, incomplete) chronology of Muslims' peaceful piousness in the modern times:
1979 November 21: On the first day of the 15th Islamic century, a group of 300 students from the Theological University of Medina take control over the Holy Mosque of Mecca. They keep control for two weeks, when 63 are captured alive and the mosque is recovered. All occupants are executed. 1987 July 31: Riots by Iranian pilgrims. More than 400 people die. 1989 July 9: Two bombs kill 1 person. Shiites of Kuwait are accused, and 16 are executed. 1990 July 2: Stampede leads to 1402 people dead. 1994: A stampede kills 400 people. 1997 April 15: Fire kills 340 people. 2004 February 1: Stampede kills 244 people. 2006 January 13: More than 345 pilgrims die in a stampede near the Jamrat Complex in Mina.
I hope you noticed that I only listed a few of the most notorious cases of Muslim violence against Muslims. Those are not isolated episodes. They are part of an ongoing process that has accompanied Islam throughout its entire history. In fact, the absolute majority of Muslims who die a violent death are not killed by "infidels": they are slaughtered by other Muslims. Therefore, if your definition of peace has anything at all in common with mine, Islam, contrary to your opinion, is not about peace at all. If you disagree, I will be grateful if you share your definition of peace with me. Maybe it is about deep personal beliefs? Let's see. Islam is the only religion in the modern world that accepts forced conversions. Just a few months ago, two Western journalists were abducted in Gaza and held for ransom — also a uniquely Islamic practice. While in captivity, they were given a simple choice: convert to Islam or die. They converted. Not a single person of any authority in the entire Dar el-Islam has objected against that rape. And why would they? For 14 centuries Mohammad's followers have spread Islam by the sword. For 14 centuries that worked for them. Why stop now? I am no hero myself. I have to admit that if I were offered the same choice, I would, most probably, choose life and repeat the shahadah after my tormentors. But how would those foreign sounds that are utterly meaningless to me, sounds that were forced out of me by the gun at my temple or a knife at my throat, change the way I feel towards Islam and everything it stands for? You can force someone to follow your rituals; you can even force someone to fight on your side. But can you force a person to believe or not to believe something? No more than you can force an Islamic country into democracy, even if the entire military might of the United States is at your disposal. No, dear Rosli, Islam has nothing to do with personal beliefs. Maybe, Islam is all about truth? I doubt that, too. You must know that Sharia expressly forbids non-Muslims to bear witness against Muslims. This means that your religious courts, and, therefore, your religion, are not interested in truth but in the Muslim domination over the "infidel". Besides, the Koran itself contains, shall we say, inaccuracies. For example, in 2.135 we read: They say: "Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (To salvation)." In reality, unlike Christianity or Islam, Judaism does not declare salvation a monopoly of its followers. Jewish law explicitly states that a gentile will go to heaven if he or she abstains from committing the seven mortal sins; a Jew, in order to go to heaven, must follow 613 commandments, including the seven mandated for gentiles. That's why, when a person approaches a rabbi asking for conversion, the rabbi's duty is to explain to the petitioner that the conversion will endanger his chances for salvation. A person desiring to become a Jew must understand the responsibility and accept it willingly and knowingly. This alone, as you can see, makes a forced conversion to Judaism even theoretically impossible. Whether the quotation above was a deliberate lie or the result of ignorance of the man you mistook for a prophet, it certainly prevents me from accepting the idea of divine inspiration behind the text. Maybe, Islam is all about love? I don't think so either, because Islam is the only religion in the world whose followers routinely practice "honor killings" of members of their own families. It is also the only religion in the world that does not promise family members a reunion in the afterlife. Instead, it guarantees good Muslim men a free brothel for all eternity. It does not spell out the reward for virtuous women, but does specify that dead Muslims will be segregated by gender in their X-rated heaven. Wouldn't a loving husband prefer to spend eternity surrounded by his family rather than fornicating like a priapic rabbit? He would, unless, of course, the loving husband in question is Muslim. Maybe, Islam is about high moral standards? Not really. Even if you decide to disregard the overwhelming corruption reigning in all Islamic countries, without a single exception, as a perversion of the true faith, you must know that wine, sexual pleasures, and everything else Islam declares taboo in this life, is promised in abundance in the next one. But if something is evil here, on our sinful earth, it must be even more evil in the pristine purity of heaven. Therefore, the wrongness of the act is not the reason for the prohibitions. What is then? Here's my guess. If you forever prevent perfectly normal people from having fun, from enjoying their lives, they will be easier to control, easier to turn into "martyrs". As you must know, this works wonderfully well. You must also know that in Muslim countries mullahs run prostitution rings by officiating temporary "marriages" between their customers and the hookers in full compliance with Sharia. You must have heard about Ayatollah Khomeini's fatwas detailing what a man should do to an infant he raped or to domestic animals subjected to a similar treatment. Besides, even Mohammad himself didn't rely on the high moral standards of his followers. He is quoted as saying, "When a man and a woman are in the same room together, the third person in that room is the devil." I do not guarantee the accuracy of the quote (to the best of my knowledge, it is not found in either the Koran or Hadith), but I do know that it reflects the customary Muslim attitude: a person who has an opportunity to do wrong is not expected to resist the temptation. Don't you think that such an attitude alone makes the average Muslim enormously more immoral than the average Western teenager who manages to spend a day of fun at the beach surrounded by half (or, rather, nine-tenth) naked females without ever being tempted to rape anyone? Maybe Islam is about charity? No, because all your charities support terrorism. After the devastating tsunami of 2004, Dar el-Harb provided tens of times more aid to its mostly Muslim victims that Dar el-Islam did. What is Islam about then? What has Mohammad brought into the world that was unknown before he declared himself a prophet? Monotheism was discovered by the Jews millennia before Mohammad. Worshipping a mortal instead of God was practiced by Christians centuries before Mohammad succeeded in turning himself into a bloodthirsty deity. What else is there? Having read the Koran and the Hadith long before you suggested it to me, I must tell you that Muslim sacred texts are not the best way for an outsider to acquire a practical understanding of your religion. If I wanted to help you understand Nazism or Communism, I would never invite you to start with the Mein Kampf or, respectively, Das Kapital. Instead, I would ask you to look at the Nazi atrocities during World War II or at the Communist atrocities wherever Communists came to power. And if, having learned what Nazis and Communists do, you decided to learn how they justify their crimes, then reading their propaganda materials might help you. Otherwise, you don't need to dive head first into the cesspool, no matter how curious you are about the taste of its contents. In order to understand Islam, one doesn't need to read the Koran. One only needs to take a careful, unprejudiced look at life in Islamic countries. Or, even better, at the purest, least corrupted by Western influence implementation of Islam in modern times. I think you would agree with me that the Taliban regime in Afghanistan was exactly such an implementation of Islam. Would you like to live in Afghanistan under the Taliban? Would you like to deprive the women in your family of all opportunities to go to school, to pursue a career, to walk in the streets, to be able to see a doctor when they become ill? Would you enjoy attending public executions? Would you like to take part in the stoning of an adulteress? Would you like to be told what clothes to wear, what length beard? Would you like the government to deprive you of the last vestiges of your privacy by insinuating itself into every aspect of your personal life? As a Muslim, you probably would. But as a reasonable person you shouldn't expect people from other cultures to wish that upon themselves. My own initial acquaintance with Islam began not with its literature, but with the experience of living in a Muslim country. I decided to read the Koran when I heard about the Islamic belief that God handed Moses not the Torah, but the Koran and that later the evil Jews maliciously rewrote the holy book. I began reading the Koran out of curiosity. I wanted to see the other vision of the Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. I was curious if Muslims had an analogue of the Psalms or the Song of Songs. A few years before that, I was going through a period of fascination with Russian history and politics. Russia is the biggest and, in terms of its natural resources, arguably the richest country in the world. I wanted to know how the Russians had managed to turn themselves into one of the most miserable nations on the planet. I turned to Lenin for answers. I was hoping to find in his writings a monumental vision of greatness and the clues of mistakes that had prevented that greatness from happening. Instead, I found volumes of bickering with ideological opponents, minutiae of arguments that had ended decades before I was born and could interest nobody today. My experience with the Koran was similar to that. Instead of a different vision of the world I found fuming anger against Jews and Christians and shallow syllogisms intending to prove that the Forefathers of the Jewish people were Muslims rather than Jews. Allah in that book sounded like an insecure chieftain desperately trying to solidify his power over people who were uncertain as to whether they should submit to his will — which is exactly the situation Mohammad was in when he undertok the project of writing the Koran. The book is full of promises to his followers and threats to the rest of the human race. And here is the most important detail that sets the Koran aside from the Torah and the New Testament. Just as the Koran never mentions Jerusalem, it doesn't contain a single reference to the Ten Commandments. All religions I am familiar with define good and evil in terms of how the believer is expected to relate to other people, whether or not they belong to the same religion. For Jews and Christians, the Ten Commandments provide the most fundamental guidance in distinguishing between good and evil. What about the Muslims? Their only measure of good is the loyalty to their prophet. Koran 3.110 states:
Ye are the best community that hath been raised up for mankind. Ye enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency; and ye believe in Allah.
Since the right conduct is a lie and forbidding indecency is pure hypocrisy, what is left? What exactly makes you "the best community that hath been raised up for mankind"? Has there ever been a Muslim Newton? Or a Muslim Shakespeare? Or a Muslim Mozart? Or a Muslim Mother Teresa? A few Muslim names that you can name, like al-Khwarimi, could shine only in the darkness of the Dark Ages. As soon as Dar el-Harb moved forward, Dar el-Islam found itself unable to produce even a single person of any global significance, except for an enormous variety of Qaddafis, Saddams, bin Ladens, Arafats, and other Hitlers of every imaginable magnitude. One of the most respected Muslim leaders of modern times, the former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad of Malaysia, made a remarkable admission in his farewell speech: We need guns and rockets, bombs and warplanes, tanks and warships for our defense. But because we are discouraged from learning of science and mathematics as giving us no merit for the afterlife, today we have no capacity to produce our own weapons for our defense. We have to buy our weapons from our detractors and enemies. It is remarkable because it makes clear that one of the most respected Muslim leaders has no clue what motivates the people of Dar el-Harb. He would never believe that our apocalyptic (and, due to the cowardice of our leaders, absolutely useless) military might is nothing but a side effect of our insatiable curiosity about God's creation. He also inadvertently admitted that his religion is nothing but a cult of death. And this is why I keep urging everybody who will listen to read the Koran and the Hadith, so they can see for themselves that Islam is not "just another religion" but an ideology of jihad, and jihad is not an internal strife of a Muslim for spiritual perfection, but genocide that's been going on for 14 centuries in the name of a false prophet. And, by the way, the Arabic world Islam does not mean peace; it means submission. Can you tell the difference between the two? Having said this all, I must add that I understand that your letter was sincere and inspired by good motives. Let me respond with a sincere suggestion. Try reading the Torah. Don't be afraid; it won't make you a Jew, just as listening to Bach won't make you a composer. But it might provide you with something you so desperately need: an alternative view of the universe. May you find good guidance wherever you seek it. In The Matter of Palestine By Yashiko Sagamori If you are so sure that ' Palestine , the country, goes back through most of recorded history,' I expect you to be able to answer a few basic questions about that country of Palestine : 1.? When was it founded and by whom? 2.? What were its borders? 3.? What was its capital? 4.? What were its major cities? 5.? What constituted the basis of its economy? 6.? What was its form of government? 7.? Can you name at least one Palestinian leader before Arafat? 8.? Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation? 9.? What was the language of the country of Palestine ? 10. What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine ? 11. What was the name of its currency? Choose any date in history and tell what was the approximate exchange rate of the Palestinian monetary unit against the US dollar, German mark, GB pound, Japanese yen, or Chinese yuan on that date. 12. And, finally, since there is no such country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur? You are lamenting the 'low sinking' of a 'once proud' nation. Please tell me, when exactly was that 'nation' proud and what was it so proud of? And here is the least sarcastic question of all: If the people you mistakenly call 'Palestinians' are anything but generic Arabs collected from all over -- or thrown out of -- the Arab world, if they really have a genuine ethnic identity that gives them right for self-determination, why did they never try to become independent until Arabs suffered their devastating defeat in the Six Day War? I hope you avoid the temptation to trace the modern day 'Palestinians' to the Biblical Philistines: substituting etymology for history won't work here. The truth should be obvious to everyone who wants to know it. Arab countries have never abandoned the dream of destroying Israel ; they still cherish it today. Having time and again failed to achieve their evil goal with military means, they decided to fight Israel by proxy. For that purpose, they created a terrorist organization, cynically called it 'the Palestinian people' and installed it in Gaza , Judea, and Samaria . How else can you explain the refusal by Jordan and Egypt to unconditionally accept back the 'West Bank' and Gaza , respectively? The fact is, Arabs populating Gaza , Judea, and Samaria have much less claim to nationhood than that Indian tribe that successfully emerged in Connecticut with the purpose of starting a tax-exempt casino: at least that tribe had a constructive goal that motivated them. The so-called 'Palestinians' have only one motivation: the destruction of Israel , and in my book that is not sufficient to consider them a nation' -- or anything else except what they really are: a terrorist organization that will one day be dismantled. In fact, there is only one way to achieve peace in the Middle East . Arab countries must acknowledge and accept their defeat in their war against Israel and, as the losing side should, pay Israel reparations for the more than 50 years of devastation they have visited on it. The most appropriate form of such reparations would be the removal of their terrorist organization from the land of Israel and accepting Israel 's ancient sovereignty over Gaza , Judea, and Samaria . That will mark the end of the Palestinian people. What are you saying again was its beginning?

English troops "pacified and civilized" Ireland, where only Gaelic "wild Irish", "unreasonable beasts lived without any knowledge of God or good manners, in common of their goods, cattle, women, children and every other thing." One of the more successful soldiers, a certain Humphrey Gilbert, half-brother of Sir Walter Raleigh, ordered that "the heddes of all those (of what sort soever thei were) which were killed in the daie, should be cutte off from their bodies... and should bee laied on the ground by eche side of the waie", which effort to civilize the Irish indeed caused "greate terrour to the people when thei sawe the heddes of their dedde fathers, brothers, children, kinsfolke, and freinds on the grounde".
    Tens of thousands of Gaelic Irish fell victim to the carnage. [SH99, 225]

    * Marra (Maraat an-numan) 12/11/98 thousands killed. Because of the subsequent famine "the already stinking corpses of the enemies were eaten by the Christians" said chronicler Albert Aquensis. [WW36]
    * Jerusalem conquered 7/15/1099 more than 60,000 victims (Jewish, Muslim, men, women, children). [WW37-40]
    In the words of one witness: "there [in front of Solomon's temple] was such a carnage that our people were wading ankle-deep in the blood of our foes", and after that "happily and crying for joy our people marched to our Saviour's tomb, to honour it and to pay off our debt of gratitude."
    * The Archbishop of Tyre, eye-witness, wrote: "It was impossible to look upon the vast numbers of the slain without horror; everywhere lay fragments of human bodies, and the very ground was covered with the blood of the slain. It was not alone the spectacle of headless bodies and mutilated limbs strewn in all directions that roused the horror of all who looked upon them. Still more dreadful was it to gaze upon the victors themselves, dripping with blood from head to foot, an ominous sight which brought terror to all who met them. It is reported that within the Temple enclosure alone about ten thousand infidels perished." [TG79]
    * Christian chronicler Eckehard of Aura noted that "even the following summer in all of Palestine the air was polluted by the stench of decomposition". [WW41]
    * Battle of Askalon, 8/12/1099. Thousands of heathens slaughtered "in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ". [WW45]
    * Fourth crusade: 4/12/1204 Constantinople sacked, number of victims unknown, numerous thousands, many of them Christian. [WW141-148]

    Heretics and Atheists




    * Already in 385 C.E. the first Christians, the Spanish Priscillianus and six followers, were beheaded for heresy in Trier/Germany [DO26]
    * Manichaean heresy: a crypto-Christian sect decent enough to practice birth control (and thus not as irresponsible as faithful Catholics) was exterminated in huge campaigns all over the Roman empire between 372 C.E. and 444 C.E. Numerous thousands of victims. [NC]
    * Albigensians: the first Crusade intended to slay other Christians. [DO29]
    The Albigensians (Cathars) viewed themselves as good Christians, but would not accept Roman Catholic rule, and taxes, and prohibition of birth control. [NC]
    Begin of violence: on command of pope Innocent III (the greatest single mass murderer prior to the Nazi era) in 1209. Beziérs (today France) 7/22/1209 destroyed, all the inhabitants were slaughtered. Number of victims (including Catholics refusing to turn over their heretic
    neighbors and friends) estimated between 20,000-70,000. [WW179-181]
    * Carcassonne 8/15/1209, thousands slain. Other cities followed. [WW181]
    * Subsequent 20 years of war until nearly all Cathars (probably half the population of the Languedoc, today southern France) were exterminated. [WW183]

    * After the war ended (1229) the Inquisition was founded 1232 to search and destroy surviving/hiding heretics. Last Cathars burned at the stake 1324.
    [WW183]
    * Estimated one million victims (Cathar heresy alone), [WW183]
    * Other heresies: Waldensians, Paulikians, Runcarians, Josephites, and many others. Most of these sects exterminated, (I believe some Waldensians live today, yet they had to endure 600 years of persecution) I estimate at least hundred thousand victims (including the Spanish inquisition but excluding victims in the New World).
    * Spanish Inquisitor Torquemada, a former Dominican friar, allegedly was responsible for 10,220 burnings. [DO28]
    * John Huss, a critic of papal infallibility and indulgences, was burned at the stake in 1415. [LI475-522]

    * University professor B.Hubmaier burned at the stake 1538 in Vienna. [DO59]

    * Giordano Bruno, Dominican monk, after having been incarcerated for seven years, was burned at the stake for heresy on the Campo dei Fiori (Rome) on 2/17/1600.
    * Thomas Aikenhead, a twenty-year-old scottish student of Edinburgh University, was hanged for atheism and blasphemy.


    Witches




    * From the beginning of Christianity to 1484 probably more than several thousand.
    * In the era of witch hunting (1484-1750) according to modern scholars several hundred thousand (about 80% female) burned at the stake or hanged.

    * 1568 Spanish Inquisition Tribunal ordered extermination of 3 million rebels in (then Spanish) Netherlands. [DO31]
    Between 5000 and 6000 Protestants were drowned by Spanish Catholic Troops, "a disaster the burghers of Emden first realized when several thousand broad-brimmed Dutch hats floated by." [SH216]
    * 1572 In France about 20,000 Huguenots were killed on command of pope Pius V. Until 17th century 200,000 flee. [DO31]
    * 17th century: Catholics slay Gaspard de Coligny, a Protestant leader. After murdering him, the Catholic mob mutilated his body, "cutting off his head, his hands, and his genitals... and then dumped him into the river [...but] then, deciding that it was not worthy of being food for the fish, they hauled it out again [... and] dragged what was left ... to the gallows of Montfaulcon, 'to be meat and carrion for maggots and crows'." [SH191]
    * 17th century: Catholics sack the city of Magdeburg/Germany: roughly 30,000 Protestants were slain. "In a single church fifty women were found beheaded," reported poet Friedrich Schiller, "and infants still sucking the breasts of their lifeless mothers." [SH191]

    (I feel sick ...) this goes on and on, century after century, right into the kilns of Auschwitz.


    Native Peoples




    * Beginning with Columbus (a former slave trader and would-be Holy Crusader) the conquest of the New World began, as usual understood as a means to propagate Christianity.
    * Within hours of landfall on the first inhabited island he encountered in the Caribbean, Columbus seized and carried off six native people who, he said, "ought to be good servants ... [and] would easily be made Christians, because it seemed to me that they belonged to no religion." [SH200]
    While Columbus described the Indians as "idolators" and "slaves, as many as [the Crown] shall order," his pal Michele de Cuneo, Italian nobleman, referred to the natives as "beasts" because "they eat when they are hungry," and made love "openly whenever they feel like it." [SH204-205]
    * On every island he set foot on, Columbus planted a cross, "making the declarations that are required" - the requerimiento - to claim the ownership for his Catholic patrons in Spain. And "nobody objected." If the Indians refused or delayed their acceptance (or understanding), the requerimiento continued:

    "I certify to you that, with the help of God, we shall powerfully enter in your country and shall make war against you ... and shall subject you to the yoke and obedience of the Church ... and shall do you all mischief that we can, as to vassals who do not obey and refuse to receive their lord and resist and contradict him." [SH66]


    * Likewise in the words of John Winthrop, first governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony: "justifieinge the undertakeres of the intended Plantation in New England ... to carry the Gospell into those parts of the world, ... and to raise a Bulworke against the kingdome of the Ante-Christ." [SH235]
    * In average two thirds of the native population were killed by colonist-imported smallpox before violence began. This was a great sign of "the marvelous goodness and providence of God" to the Christians of course, e.g. the Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony wrote in 1634, as "for the natives, they are near all dead of the smallpox, so as the Lord hath cleared our title to what we possess." [SH109,238]
    * On Hispaniola alone, on Columbus visits, the native population (Arawak), a rather harmless and happy people living on an island of abundant natural resources, a literal paradise, soon mourned 50,000 dead. [SH204]
    * The surviving Indians fell victim to rape, murder, enslavement and Spanish raids.
    * As one of the culprits wrote: "So many Indians died that they could not be counted, all through the land the Indians lay dead everywhere. The stench was very great and pestiferous." [SH69]
    * The Indian chief Hatuey fled with his people but was captured and burned alive. As "they were tying him to the stake a Franciscan friar urged him to take Jesus to his heart so that his soul might go to heaven, rather than descend into hell. Hatuey replied that if heaven was where the Christians went, he would rather go to hell." [SH70]
    * What happened to his people was described by an eyewitness:
    "The Spaniards found pleasure in inventing all kinds of odd cruelties ... They built a long gibbet, long enough for the toes to touch the ground to prevent strangling, and hanged thirteen [natives] at a time in honor of Christ Our Saviour and the twelve Apostles... then, straw was wrapped around their torn bodies and they were burned alive." [SH72]
    Or, on another occasion:
    "The Spaniards cut off the arm of one, the leg or hip of another, and from some their heads at one stroke, like butchers cutting up beef and mutton for market. Six hundred, including the cacique, were thus slain like brute beasts...Vasco [de Balboa] ordered forty of them to be torn to pieces by dogs." [SH83]
    * The "island's population of about eight million people at the time of Columbus's arrival in 1492 already had declined by a third to a half before the year 1496 was out." Eventually all the island's natives were exterminated, so the Spaniards were "forced" to import slaves from other caribbean islands, who soon suffered the same fate. Thus "the Caribbean's millions of native people [were] thereby effectively liquidated in barely a quarter of a century". [SH72-73] "In less than the normal lifetime of a single human being, an entire culture of millions of people, thousands of years resident in their homeland, had been exterminated." [SH75]
    * "And then the Spanish turned their attention to the mainland of Mexico and Central America. The slaughter had barely begun. The exquisite city of Tenochtitlán [Mexico city] was next." [SH75]
    * Cortez, Pizarro, De Soto and hundreds of other Spanish conquistadors likewise sacked southern and mesoamerican civilizations in the name of Christ (De Soto also sacked Florida).
    * "When the 16th century ended, some 200,000 Spaniards had moved to the Americas. By that time probably more than 60,000,000 natives were dead."
    [SH95]


    Of course no different were the founders of what today is the US of America.



    * Although none of the settlers would have survived winter without native help, they soon set out to expel and exterminate the Indians. Warfare among (north American) Indians was rather harmless, in comparison to European standards, and was meant to avenge insults rather than conquer land. In the words of some of the pilgrim fathers: "Their Warres are farre less bloudy...", so that there usually was "no great slawter of nether side". Indeed, "they might fight seven yeares and not kill seven men." What is more, the Indians usually spared women and children. [SH111]
    * In the spring of 1612 some English colonists found life among the (generally friendly and generous) natives attractive enough to leave Jamestown - "being idell ... did runne away unto the Indyans," - to live among them (that probably solved a sex problem).
    "Governor Thomas Dale had them hunted down and executed: 'Some he apointed (sic) to be hanged Some burned Some to be broken upon wheles, others to be staked and some shott to deathe'." [SH105] Of course these elegant measures were restricted for fellow Englishmen: "This was the treatment for those who wished to act like Indians. For those who had no
    choice in the matter, because they were the native people of Virginia" methods were different: "when an Indian was accused by an Englishman of stealing a cup and failing to return it, the English response was to attack the natives in force, burning the entire community" down. [SH105]
    * On the territory that is now Massachusetts the founding fathers of the colonies were committing genocide, in what has become known as the "Peqout War." The killers were New England Puritan Christians, refugees from persecution in their own home country England.
    * When however, a dead colonist was found, apparently killed by Narragansett Indians, the Puritan colonists wanted revenge. Despite the Indian chief's pledge they attacked.
    Somehow they seem to have lost the idea of what they were after, because when they were greeted by Pequot Indians (long-time foes of the Narragansetts) the troops nevertheless made war on the Pequots and burned their villages.
    The puritan commander-in-charge John Mason after one massacre wrote: "And indeed such a dreadful Terror did the Almighty let fall upon their Spirits, that they would fly from us and run into the very Flames, where many of them perished ... God was above them, who laughed his Enemies and the Enemies of his People to Scorn, making them as a fiery Oven ... Thus did the Lord judge among the Heathen, filling the Place with dead Bodies": men, women, children. [SH113-114]
    * So "the Lord was pleased to smite our Enemies in the hinder Parts, and to give us their land for an inheritance". [SH111].
    * Because of his readers' assumed knowledge of Deuteronomy, there was no need for Mason to quote the words that immediately follow:
    "Thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth. But thou shalt utterly destroy them..." (Deut 20)
    * Mason's comrade Underhill recalled how "great and doleful was the bloody sight to the view of the young soldiers" yet reassured his readers that "sometimes the Scripture declareth women and children must perish with their parents". [SH114]
    * Other Indians were killed in successful plots of poisoning. The colonists even had dogs especially trained to kill Indians and to devour children from their mothers breasts, in the colonists' own words: "blood Hounds to draw after them, and Mastives to seaze them." (This was inspired by Spanish methods of the time)
    In this way they continued until the extermination of the Pequots was near. [SH107-119]
    * The surviving handful of Indians "were parceled out to live in servitude. John Endicott and his pastor wrote to the governor asking for 'a share' of the captives, specifically 'a young woman or girle and a boy if you thinke good'." [SH115]
    * Other tribes were to follow the same path.
    * Comment the Christian exterminators: "God's Will, which will at last give us cause to say: How Great is His Goodness! and How Great is his Beauty!"
    "Thus doth the Lord Jesus make them to bow before him, and to lick the Dust!" [TA]
    * Like today, lying was morally acceptable to Christians then. "Peace treaties were signed with every intention to violate them: when the Indians 'grow secure uppon (sic) the treatie', advised the Council of State in Virginia, 'we shall have the better Advantage both to surprise them, & cutt downe theire Corne'." [SH106]
    * In 1624 sixty heavily armed Englishmen cut down 800 defenseless Indian men, women and children. [SH107]
    * In a single massacre in "King Philip's War" of 1675 and 1676 some "600 Indians were destroyed. A delighted Cotton Mather, revered pastor of the Second Church in Boston, later referred to the slaughter as a 'barbeque'." [SH115]
    * To summarize: Before the arrival of the English, the western Abenaki people in New Hampshire and Vermont had numbered 12,000. Less than half a century later about 250 remained alive - a destruction rate of 98%. The Pocumtuck people had numbered more than 18,000, fifty years later they were down to 920 - 95% destroyed. The Quiripi-Unquachog people had numbered about
    30,000, fifty years later they were down to 1500 - 95% destroyed. The Massachusetts people had numbered at least 44,000, fifty years later barely 6000 were alive - 81% destroyed. [SH118] These are only a few examples of the multitude of tribes living before Christian colonists set their foot on the New World. All this was before the smallpox epidemics of 1677 and 1678 had occurred. And the carnage was not over then.
    * All the above was only the beginning of the European colonization, it was before the frontier age actually had begun.
    * A total of maybe more than 150 million Indians (of both Americas) were destroyed in the period of 1500 to 1900, as an average two thirds by smallpox and other epidemics, that leaves some 50 million killed directly by violence, bad treatment and slavery.
    * In many countries, such as Brazil, and Guatemala, this continues even today.


    More Glorious Events in U.S. History



    * Reverend Solomon Stoddard, one of New England's most esteemed religious leaders, in "1703 formally proposed to the Massachusetts Governor that the colonists be given the financial wherewithal to purchase and train large packs of dogs 'to hunt Indians as they do bears'." [SH241]


    * Massacre of Sand Creek, Colorado 11/29/1864. Colonel John Chivington, a former Methodist minister and still elder in the church ("I long to be wading in gore") had a Cheyenne village of about 600, mostly women and children, gunned down despite the chiefs' waving with a white flag: 400-500 killed.
    From an eye-witness account: "There were some thirty or forty squaws collected in a hole for protection; they sent out a little girl about six years old with a white flag on a stick; she had not proceeded but a few steps when she was shot and killed. All the squaws in that hole were afterwards killed ..." [SH131]



    * By the 1860s, "in Hawai'i the Reverend Rufus Anderson surveyed the carnage that by then had reduced those islands' native population by 90 percent or more, and he declined to see it as tragedy; the expected total die-off of the Hawaiian population was only natural, this missionary said, somewhat equivalent to 'the amputation of diseased members of the body'."
    [SH244]


    20th Century Church Atrocities




    * Catholic extermination camps
    Surprisingly few know that Nazi extermination camps in World War II were by no means the only ones in Europe at the time. In the years 1942-1943 also in Croatia existed numerous extermination camps, run by Catholic Ustasha under their dictator Ante Paveliç, a practicing Catholic and regular visitor to the then pope. There were even concentration camps exclusively for children!
    In these camps - the most notorious was Jasenovac, headed by a Franciscan friar -
    orthodox-Christian Serbians (and a substantial number of Jews) were murdered. Like the Nazis the Catholic Ustasha burned their victims in kilns, alive (the Nazis were decent enough to have their victims gassed first). But most of the victims were simply stabbed, slain or shot to death, the number of them being estimated between 300,000 and 600,000, in a rather tiny country. Many of the killers were Franciscan friars. The atrocities were appalling enough to induce bystanders of the Nazi "Sicherheitsdienst der SS", watching, to complain about them to Hitler (who did not listen). The pope knew about these events and did
    nothing to prevent them. [MV]


    * Catholic terror in Vietnam
    In 1954 Vietnamese freedom fighters; the Viet Minh; - had finally defeated the French colonial government in North Vietnam, which by then had been supported by U.S. funds amounting to more than $2 billion. Although the victorious assured religious freedom to all (most non-Buddhist Vietnamese were Catholics), due to huge anticommunist propaganda campaigns many Catholics fled to the South. With the help of Catholic lobbies in Washington and Cardinal Spellman, the Vatican's spokesman in U.S. politics, who later on would call the U.S. forces in Vietnam "Soldiers of Christ", a scheme was concocted to prevent democratic elections which could have brought the communist Viet Minh to power in the South as well, and the fanatic Catholic Ngo Dinh Diem was made president of South Vietnam. [MW16ff]
    Diem saw to it that U.S. aid, food, technical and general assistance was given to Catholics alone, Buddhist individuals and villages were ignored or had to pay for the food aids which were given to Catholics for free. The only religious denomination to be supported was Roman Catholicism.
    The Vietnamese McCarthyism turned even more vicious than its American counterpart. By 1956 Diem promulgated a presidential order which read:

    "Individuals considered dangerous to the national defense and common security may be confined by executive order, to a concentration camp."

    Supposedly to fight communism, thousands of Buddhist protesters and monks were imprisoned in "detention camps." Out of protest dozens of Buddhist teachers - male and female - and monks poured gasoline over themselves and burned themselves. (Note that Buddhists burned themselves: in comparison Christians tend to burn others). Meanwhile some of the prison camps, which in the meantime were filled with Protestant and even Catholic protesters as well, had turned into no-nonsense death camps. It is estimated that during this period of terror (1955-1960) at least 24,000 were wounded - ; mostly in street riots ; - 80,000 people were executed, 275,000 had been detained or tortured, and about 500,000 were sent to concentration or detention camps. [MW76-89].
    To support this kind of government in the next decade thousands of American GI's lost their life.


    * Christianity kills the cat
    On July 1, 1976, Anneliese Michel, a 23-year-old student of a teachers college in Germany, died: she starved herself to death. For months she had been haunted by demonic visions and apparitions, and for months two Catholic priests - with explicit approval of the Catholic bishop of Würzburg - additionally pestered and tormented the wretched girl with their exorcist rituals. After her death in Klingenberg hospital - her body was littered with wounds - her parents, both of them
    fanatical Catholics, were sentenced to six months for not having called for medical help. None of the priests was punished: on the contrary, Miss Michel's grave today is a place of pilgrimage and worship for a number of similarly faithful Catholics (in the seventeenth century Würzburg was notorious for it's extensive witch burnings).
    This case is only the tip of an iceberg of such evil superstition and has become known only because of its lethal outcome. [SP80]


    * Rwanda Massacres
    In 1994 in the small African country of Rwanda in just a few months several hundred thousand civilians were butchered, apparently a conflict of the Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups.
    For quite some time I heard only rumors about Catholic clergy actively involved in the 1994 Rwanda massacres. Odd denials of involvement were printed in Catholic church journals, before even anybody had openly accused members of the church.
    Then, 10/10/96, in the newscast of S2 Aktuell, Germany - a station not at all critical to Christianity - the following was stated:

    "Anglican as well as Catholic priests and nuns are suspect of having actively participated in murders. Especially the conduct of a certain Catholic priest has been occupying the public mind in Rwanda's capital Kigali for months. He was minister of the church of the Holy Family and allegedly murdered Tutsis in the most brutal manner. He is reported to have accompanied marauding Hutu militia with a gun in his cowl. In fact there has been a bloody slaughter of Tutsis seeking shelter in his parish. Even two years after the massacres many Catholics refuse to set foot on the threshold of their church, because to them the participation of a certain part of the clergy in the slaughter is well established. There is almost no church in Rwanda that has not seen refugees - women, children, old - being brutally butchered facing the crucifix.
    According to eyewitnesses clergymen gave away hiding Tutsis and turned them over to the machetes of the Hutu militia.
    In connection with these events again and again two Benedictine nuns are mentioned, both of whom have fled into a Belgian monastery in the meantime to avoid prosecution. According to survivors one of them called the
    Hutu killers and led them to several thousand people who had sought shelter in her monastery. By force the doomed were driven out of the churchyard and were murdered in the presence of the nun right in front of the gate. The other one is also reported to have directly cooperated with the murderers of the Hutu militia. In her case again witnesses report that she watched the slaughtering of people in cold blood and without showing response. She is even accused of having procured some petrol used by the killers to set on
    fire and burn their victims alive..." [S2]

    More recently the BBC aired:

    Priests get death sentence for Rwandan genocide
    BBC NEWS April 19, 1998

    A court in Rwanda has sentenced two Roman Catholic priests to death for their role in the genocide of 1994, in which up to a million Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed. Pope John Paul said the priests must be made to account for their actions. Different sections of the Rwandan church have been widely accused of playing an active role in the genocide of 1994...


    * As can be seen from these events, to Christianity the Dark Ages never come to an end.





    If today Christians talk to me about morality, this is why they make me sick.

  3. Jag tror faktiskt det var en japansk flicka, men det är sent och jag gitter inte gå tillbaka till källan......

    Islam är i stort sett samma sak som judendom, eftersom Muhammed tog många stycken från de judiska skrifterna, med lätt modifikation. I alla kan man hitta liknande stycken som inte passar det moderna samhället. Det ÄR trots allt annorlunda, med instant communication. När urskrifterna skrevs tog det decennier för information och tankar att tränga fram. Det värsta som finns tror jag är att berätta snyfthistorier omöjliga att bekräfta, om individer som har kommit i kläm. Något våra svenska media vältrar sig i.

    Efter mitt första blygsamma besök i Israel 1971, då jag inte visste ett dyft om judar eller Israel, har jag följt med och sett utvecklingen.

    Jag har också rest i Malaysia och Indonesien, där jag har träffat söta muslimska flickor som har sagt "jag HATAR araberna på grund av deras sätt att behandla oss flickor!"

    Mitt intresse av Asien började tack vare Artur Lundqvist, som reste till Indonesien 1930 och skrev väldigt mänskligt om vad han upplevde. Han gifte sej med byskönheten då det var ett absolut nono att göra något sådant. Han behandlade dem som vanliga människor.

    Jag använder mina erfarenheter och läser mycket. Jag ser vad som händer. Jag ser de trevliga muslimska killarna nere i affären här på hörnan, men jag ser också livet i Rosengård i Malmö, där allt går åt skogen eftersom politikerna försöker vara politiskt korrekta och genomimbecilla, i stället för att se verkligheten, och speciellt extrapolera det till när Malmö har 50% muslimer om 25 år.

    Det är ytterligt "not politically correct" att kräva något av palestinier i Mellanöstern, sammalunda av araber här. Kan det gå annat än åt skogen? Vad som händer när get gör det blir värre än Förintelsen av judarna för 70 år sedan.

  4. Allt det dar om det historiska forloppet har man harvat och skrivit sa mycket att man, och jag, upptackt att det inte hjalper. Sa vi tar situationen som den ar:
    1-Israel har atererovrat sitt gamla omrade.
    2-Omradet annekteras helt, inklusive Judéen och Samarien.
    3-Frammande som bor dar kan bo kvar med alla sina rattigheter utom att bekriga Israel inifran (Detta galler i Sverige ocksa). Ett antal typiskt arabiska stader far sjalvstyre inom sjalva staden.
    Att skapa en "palestinsk" stat mitt i magen pa Israel ar nagot som Israeler inte kan acceptera.Vem skulle kunna leva med en kruttunna med varldens kortaste lunta pa magen?
    Ur Israels synpunkt ar FN overspelad. USA far soka sin fred med araberna utan att lata Israel betala priset. Europa-och Sverige- far sjalv klara sina problem med sina muslimska befolkningar. Passar inte galoscherna alla utomstaende.....det var ju sa synd!!!
    Jag heter Isaac Haskiya, ar bade svensk och israel, har skrivit ett antal artiklar bade i Sverige och i Danmark, och ar trott pa att debattera. Bli inte sarade nar jag sager att Israel skoter sitt och Sverige gor likadant.
    Det enda felet som varlden inte skall gora ar att komma mot Israel med vapen i hand for att tvinga fram sin losning. Iran tar vi hand om inom sin tid, pa det ena (forhandlingar)eller andra sattet (vapenmakt). Lev val och sopa framfor egen dorr!

  5. Det är ju två saker: antingen låtsas man vara politiker och säger vad som borde göras, eller får man förklara vad som faktiskt sagts, gjorts, skrivits under blabla - vilket de flesta har väldigt lite kunskap om. Palestinaaraberna tjatar hela tiden om det och deras anhängare förstärker än mer deras argument.

    Obs adressen till min aktuella blogg, denna använder jag bara när nåt hänger sej eller jag behöver en alternativ adress.

  6. Har ar det ingen som latsas vara politiker. Jag star i kontakt med de flesta hogerpartiernas ledning i Israel och IDF. Jag har aven blivit erbjuden ett jobb som talesman for ett av dom.
    Det jag har skrivit forra gangen ar den konklusionen som manga politiker och israeler har dragit efter efter 7 krig och 60 ars schakrande.
    Manga med mig visste att Olmert-Livni skulle falla, att Israel skulle vanda at hoger och ett paradigmskifte skulle komma till stand. Dessa tva har helt enkelt varit alltfor tillmotesgaende och angelagna. Ett tecken pa kommande hard-talk kom redan under Gaza kampanjen da Israel sade nej ca 20 ganger, en gang for varje dag som kriget pagick, nar omvarlden kravde ett stopp. Det var anda for sent for Kadima. Det var ocksa alltfor egoistiskt av Livni att inte ge en hjalpande hand till Netanyahu eftersom Israel behover en stark och stabil regering pa kring 70% for att kunna skriva under ett hallbart fredsavtal. Hon har latit sin personliga integritet ga fore Israels sakerhet. Detta kommer Israel inte att glomma. Gazakampanjen har dock hjalpt till att sanka antalet raketer och granater med 5 ganger.
    Just nu finns alla tecken pa att det inte blir ett fredsavtal. Just nu finns vissa tecken att det kan bli en vapnad konfrontation mellan Israel och sjalva Palestina-araberna. Relationerna till FN ar bara pa strikta "speaking terms". Israeler tycker att Obama har spelat fel. Araberna har sagt flera nej an de har sagt i Khartoum. Icke-statliga eller icke-regerings organisationer - dissidenter- anvander sina demokratiska rattigheter med metoder som skadar Israel. Dessa kommer att stoppas pa ett eller annat satt. Begreppet "hemlighetstamplat" finns aven i Sverige, trots allt prat om svensk demokrati. Optimal demokratri kraver optimal fred och det ar inte fallet i Israel. En stor majoritet av Israeler ar oandligt trotta pa omvarldens (las FN, USA och EU) tjafs. Nagra skandinaver tycker att man kan bojkotta Israel med att sluta kopa apelsiner; en 120 mm. stridsvagnsgranat som Israel tillverkar och exporterar motsvarar minst 5 ton apelsiner i varde. Om relationerna till USA (eventuellt) och EU forsvagas ett tag sa kan Israel klara sig med Sydamerika - darav Libermans besok - Indien , Kina och aven vissa amerikanska och europeiska foretag som lever efter regeln "business as usual". Du har ratt nar du sager att Palestinaraberna tjatar hela tiden; deras teater ar vulgar och falsk. Manga manniskor tror tyvarr pa deras skadespel och pseudo-argument. Vi lever i en tid da gurkorna talar om tradgardsmastaren hur han skall gora, annars slar dom pa honom! (Gammalt ordsprak fran Mellanostern) De flesta har asikter om saker de inte ver mycket om!
