We hear about Catholic priests abusing children but never Jews - why might that be?

“The Jewish religion died 200 years ago. Now there is nothing that unifies the Jews around the world apart from Holocaust,” Yeshayahy Leibowitz, a observant orthodox Jew philosopher.

Professor Dr. Noam Chomsky made headlines when he was refused entery by the Israeli guards at the Allenby Bridge on his way from Amman (Jordan) to Ramallah (West Bank) where he was schedule to lecture on US foreign policy at Bir Zeit University.The “official” reason was that Chomsky is a ‘Self-Hating, Israel-Threatening (S.H.I.T)’ Jews and thus a threat to the Zionist entity. In fact, Chomsky in real life doesn’t even come closer to those ‘allegations”.

“We don’t go to Synagouge to pray to a flag (Israeli),” Stephen Naman

The 2010 US Assembly of Jews conference was held last month in Detroit. the theme of the conference was ‘Racism and Israeli Apartheid’ and to discuss strategies for ‘declonizing Palestine’.

It is time for us to come together. To stop marginalising and segregating ourselves from one another. We are all special and unique in our own individual ways. So it is time to break free and to release the shackles that we put on ourselves. To stop being the shepard, the sheep dog and the sheep. We are all human beings sharing a great experience called life. It is time to start living this life that we are all experiencing as one sentient consciousness.

I'm not going to respond directly to Srdja Trifkovic,  since he said that our correspondence was over (for the record: in a responspe to a comment where I told him the same thing first), but there is an argument used by him and other professional Muslim haters that I can't stand.  It's called the "True Islam theory."  It goes like this.

Oh so you think we can exist on the same planet as Muslims?  Do you know that in 1453 the Grand Turk said that the Holy Roman Emperor looked like a homo?  That in 1652 there were Muslim tourists who spit on the Sistine Chapel?  That the Koran says a woman is worth three toenails of a man?  That the great Muslim theologian Kareem Abdul-Jabar wrote in 1068 that moving to Europe to live off the welfare state and rape blondes is part of jihad? Read up on the real Islam, and what the religion is really about.  Then you'll be ready to debate.

With all due respect to Mr. Trifkovic, if his latest piece on Islam was written by somebody of Jewish descent 90% of the commentators would’ve been telling the author that he was being hyperbolic and to fight his own battles.

I m no fan of Muslim immigration.  In fact, I think that best case scenario most European countries will have a significant Muslim minority hostile to their societies forever.

Liberty, equality and fraternity but where do France's Muslims fit into that national motto? France's National Assembly voted almost unanimously to ban the face veil.

A year ago in Cairo, Barack Hussein Obama addressed the Muslim world with the same buttock-splayed obsequiousness he exhibits toward all of America’s blood enemies. Citing “civilization’s debt to Islam,” he credited Mohammedan culture with the development of algebra, the magnetic compass, the writing pen, and basic medical advances in healing. Never mind that the Greeks developed algebra, the Chinese invented the compass, the Egyptians and/or Indians gave us the pen, and most Islamic medical “advances” were swiped from the ancient Hellenists.

Last month, former astronaut and current NASA Administrator Charles Bolden toured the Middle East in commemoration of Obama’s speech. He sat down for a televised interview with the Al Jazeera Network. When asked why he was visiting the Islamic world, this was his reply:
