The map illustrates the extent of the issue here - note that the area between the two red lines was West Bank territory before 1967. The Israelis renamed this East Jerusalem and annexed it (illegally).

It's a bit funny to have a rabinical court hearing, find the guy guilty of a crime under Judaism and then symbolically lash him lightly. The guy accepted the punishment though - let's just hope he didn't enjoy the punishment and publicity ;) I mean, I found the whole episode funny (as in funny 'ha h...

He's got you there Berrin. (I hope that wasn't aimed at me.. and if it was, I totally agree. Thanks for the reminder. )

As I said, it's a choice between Haaretz and the one claiming to know better.

You and your silly selective quotes and spin - this seems to be the only response you have when challenged on your spin - more spin. Look at the very first sentence of my original post - I said the colonists were civilians. I clearly stated that the fact they were colonists does not justify their ki...

shafique

Indeed shame on them and also shame on you. However, here's the actual quote from NYT (compare it with Elder's quote which links to an arabic page) The claim of responsibility was unusual in that Hamas had refrained from taking responsibility for attacks in recent years. But with a sharp decline in ...

shafique

There you go again, denying that you're spinning the story. The first thing you typed in this thread is a spin - as I said shame on you. The issue of the illegal settlements is one that doesn't sit well with you, obviously - hence why you are spinning this. Compare your spin with my opening post. Ch...

The fact that you believe Karmi is an anti-semite is really only down to your views of Islam and not based on reality. You seem to be afraid to actually read and understand what is written - but such as it always was with loons. ... Which leads me to think you didn't actually read the articles. C'mo...

shafique

You see - still ignoring the simple fact.

Loons are so shy of actual evidence, it is painful.

Oh so you agree with the Taliban, great maybe you secretly wish you start a similar christian faction. Funny you should mention that - eh's guru, Bob 'I run away from debates' Spencer and the Taliban are united in their opposition to the 'ground zero islamist supremacist megamosque': http://www.loo...

Berrin, for every loony rabbi with a weird ruling I can give five or six loon Egyptian rulings. I mean the Christians have their own nutters - such as Bob Spencer and the Quran burning Pastor, we have our 'breast feeding' fatwa issuing Imams. It is totally legitimate to make fun of these funny guys,...

shafique

Long posts can't disguise that the first thing you wrote was a spin on story of 4 people being killed, slurring the PA who had nothing to with the attack. This cheap political propaganda is distasteful - and add to the fact it was dishonest, makes it worse. The PA does not object to Israelis buildin...

shafique

Your argument is with Haaretz.

Are you sure YOU haven't been indoctrinated?

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Sure thing. Please present any actual evidence for Spencer's beliefs- I listened to it, and all he seems to do is repeat his loon beliefs (loon as in discredited disinformation about Islam. Anyway, the first thing he alleges is that Islam is a religion of violence that teaches war against all Muslim...

A community in the USA has put up signs telling women how to dress - and includes the instructions 'maintain gender separation in all public places' (hence why I'm posting this here) http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2010/08/31/welcome-to-kiryas-joel-please-dress-accordingly/ It is all constitutional and ...

Pastor Terry Jones of the 'Quran Burning' on 9/11 fame, is now on record saying that it isn't actually Muslims that are behind the de-christianisation of America, but the Jews. He will be burning the Talmud, he says (along with the Qurans)! Furthermore, when pressed to describe the real groups, pers...

Shocking story (no pun intended). Bravo to the guy who stood up to the thugs and got hit for his trouble.

I wonder how many less serious assaults don't get reported - people, be careful out there!

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Berrin - I'm not questioning your knowledge or faith, just agreeing with DD that mocking another religion does not agree with our understanding of the teachings of Islam. You may have mocked unintentionally, but your subsequent justifications don't seem to imply this. We can agree to disagree on thi...

shafique

Sigh - Berrin, let's agree to disagree.

I have much desire to debate the breast feeding fatwa as to debate the rights and wrongs of the original article. That was my whole point - both are not to be taken seriously (and trust me, there are more of these loony fatwas out there!)

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Fair enough Berrin, you win.

Thanks eh - but you appear to not have clicked on the link above and read what Danio's refutation says. The second part of the post about Spencer's discredited view is: http://www.loonwatch.com/2010/06/more-proof-that-robert-spencer-is-an-intellectual-huckster-part-2-spencer-digs-himself-into-a-deep...

shafique

eh - are you related to Pastor Jones, or do you just share his views?

Can you at least bring yourself to condemn the burning of the Talmud (if not the Quran)?

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Ah, as per usual, FD tells us a bit of the story... the article continues: Despite Zahar's tough words, it's unclear whether the militants will try to derail the negotiations with more attacks or whether the shooting was an isolated incident. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak wrote in an op-ed piece ...

shafique

Shocking stuff. I'll be surprised if anyone here stoops low enough to make excuses for what is in these videos... the casual violence is truly shocking. The throwing of the puppy just indicative of how callous some are. I don't think it is a matter of nationality - give kids guns and give them power...

shafique

Epic failure again eh. Spencer's hucksterism has been demolished by Danios, and Spencer has run away from the debate he issued a challenge to. Anyway, if you have no answer to Danios (it is clear Spencer doesn't) then there is nothing to debate regarding evidence is there? So, let's use logic to exa...

Pam Geller is notorious, and whilst there are those bikini photos (which thus far I have not seen), this is about the exposure of her views to the harsh sunlight of fact-checks. Jewish Week has an enlightening interview with Pamela Geller, heroine loon and Spencer's proud side-kick - but as per usua...

shafique

As far as Jews go, I'm guessing that most Jews would have enough common sense to know that people should be able to whatever they want with their own private property. Great argument - presumably you had no issues with Hitler burning books that belonged to the German state then? (loons and their pe...

shafique

I share your hopes. When they announced the talks I said: At last there is some movement on the peace talks - with resumption beginning next month. .. The solution everyone says they are aiming for is clear: 2 state solution and final status agreement on the main issues of i. borders, ii. Jerusalem ...

shafique

Still ignoring a simple fact and pointing at a strawman. Such as it always was with loons - they can't face the evidence. I'll wait too and see whether eh ever addresses (or even acknowledges) that Christian scholars (rather than loon bloggers) have concluded that the God of the Quran is the God of ...

shafique

Let us know when you actually have read and understsood Karmi's articles, and then read :

philosophy-dubai/hasan-karmi-anti-semite-t43065.html

You're looking increasingly foolish. When in a hole, it is generally good to stop digging.
