general - just for your information, the most extreme religious fanatic posting on this forum has also been exposed as an Islamophobic troll who believes pseudo-scholars such as Bob Spencer (of Jihadwatch) and considers Memri's misinformation to be true and even quotes 'Elder of Zyion' with a straig...

It seems the story is a lie. Gotta love the media and their attempts to manipulate and generate ridiculous headlines for readership. And the moral is - don't automatically believe what you read! Now, if only the fanbois were as diligent with fact checks when they quote statistics and quote from the...

This is a very funny story about 'Guru Bob' and his latest mooslim conspiracy theory. Anthony Weiner hit the headlines recently as the congressman who tweeted photos of him modelling his underwear (to put it politely) and resigned as a result. Now, the congressman happens to be of the Jewish faith -...

Looks like a good deal.

Agree with DDS and Sym - this is dis.gusting. To be so cynical (and not to mention rude) and to have your friends celebrate this - dis.gusting. They should be ashamed of themselves. Totally covering the face is indeed cultural - and being rude from behind the veil makes a mockery of the veil itself ...

As Carl Sagan once pointed out - the % of cancer patients who were cured spontaneously (spontaneous remission) is HIGHER than the % of cancer patients who visit Lourdes and pray for a cure for their illness, and are cured. http://www.dubaiforums.com/philosophy-dubai/faith-healing-pure-luck-t37697.ht...

Fascinating stuff. May I just point out that just as there isn't a homogenous 'black' people, there isn't a homogenous 'white' people either. Physical differences in Africa are vast - and even within countries you can easily tell people apart by looks alone. Just saying a 'Nigerian' or 'Ethiopian' d...

LOL I love the hubris in this thread! Hubris comes before a fall. A few people have mentioned Greece. They were indeed at one time the height of civilisation - and now are reduced to begging to be saved from bankruptcy. Rome was for a while a strong empire. Britain had the largest land empire ever -...

Some interesting observations from Andrew Brown in the Guardian - about similarities between Islamophobia and historic anti-semitism in the UK. It's reasonably short, so I posted it in full - and highlighted some bits in blue (for those that balk at reading more than a few words. ;) ) Islamophobia a...

It only took the Israeli Occupying forces 4 years to comply with an Israeli Court's ruling - but it also shows that weekly protests by unarmed Palestinians and a few foreigners does pay off eventually. The re-routing of the so-called 'apartheid wall' (or as Regev puts it 'the security fence') is a s...

shafique

As I said, the excuses for the wall's route now ring hollow given that the Israeli Military Occupation force has agreed to move the 'hafrada'/'separation'/'apartheid' wall's route.

The land grab attempt was thwarted in this case.

Why not build the wall on the 1967 'borders'?

:D The Israelis are caught stealing land and have to give it back, and the response is the typical 'smoke and mirrors' bluster. All this vitriol over an Israeli court's decision! No wonder there is so much resistance to the end of the Israeli Military Occupation of land captured in 1967! :shock: Che...

shafique

Well, you've got to hand it to the fanbois - they are consistent.

The Israeli Occupying Army tries to steal land, Israeli court says this is wrong - and yet they blame the Palestinians whose land was being stolen!

That's what I call Chutpah!

Cheers,

I'm reminded of a joke. There are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't. :mrgreen: (Perhaps only the people with 'large' brains will understand it. Those who struggle with stats will probably also not find it funny. ;) ) Anyway - the canard about genetic ...

shafique

Name calling and smoke and mirrors are the only responses it seems. Why let the simple fact that the Israeli Occupying Army is having to comply with an Israeli court decision that it can't steal Palestinian land. As I said in the OP: The re-routing of the so-called 'apartheid wall' (or as Regev puts...

MCL - the point I was specifically addressing when referring to Morris and Diamond, was the issue of racial differences as a reason for differing levels of technological or even sociological development. Morris deals with this in Chpt 1 - 'Before East and West' (see pg 60 and 80, for example). We're...

LOL.

My excuse is I've been doing it since I was a number on compuserve (I remember the thrill when I got a 14kbs modem - an upgrade from the 9kbs one I was using!)

I'm starting to feel sorry for the young man - when faced with facts and stats that contradict what he was taught at Bible camp, the poor lad has to resort to musing about how people end their posts. Sad, so sad.

^Well, let's not forget that 100,000 Israeli Jews marched IN FAVOUR of racial segregation amongst Jewish schoolchildren in Israel: http://www.dubaiforums.com/dubai-politics-talk/100-000-jews-march-favour-apartheid-t42271.html Explain how they can see racial differences and you can't? Cheers, Shafique

shafique

herve - the Jews see racial differences amongst Jews, which goes against your point that Jews are ONE race. The fact that a large number of Israeli Jews will come out and march in favour of racial segregation is a different issue - but one that highlights Judaism is a religion and not a race. As sym...

shafique

herve - thanks, I agree with your explanation of Judaic features. By the same token, you will agree, not all who have judaic features are Jewish by religion (eg. the members of the tribes of Israel that converted to other religions). Looking back, it seems you were referring to 'Jews who share racia...

Seems pretty clear cut to me - Jewish group says 'Jews are clearly not a race' - fanbois think they know better.

spot on DDS. Another case of what-aboutery. Let's remind ourselves of how the Israeli journalist describes this trait and compare it with the posts above: I came across this quote from Anthony Julius today in Haaretz. He disapproves of a commonly seen fanbois tactic in these forums. 'A playground de...

I don't agree with this one Egyptian woman at all - sexually harrassing Israeli women is not a form of resistance to the Israeli military occupation -that is absurd. I'm a bit confused about the thread's title though - it appears to me that the woman was asked directly whether she was advocating rap...

herve - what proportion of Ashkenazi Jews have the Haplogroup J Y-DNA M304? Are these guys Arab, or Jews?

Cheers,

shafique

Herve was proud of his nazi views and never backed down, indeed he tried to convince me that I should share his view. He failed miserably. The posts are still there - where he expressed and defended his hatred of Muslims, in exactly the same way Nazis hated Jews. But as I said, he's gone now and the...
