Honor Killings – A Gallery of Horror

Another young woman  tortured and murdered  to add to the gruesome gallery….. The horror of these young girls terror stricken victims, who live in homemade concentration camps is given the imprimatur of the West in its complicit silence –  the urbane  face of bloodthirsty savagery. The West looks away and more girls lead desperate, brutal lives. The “Feminists” look away and pretend it is outside the realm of women’s rights  leftists tools of Islāmic jihad..  These useful idiots  are on someone’s payroll or they fear Islam. Either way, get out of the way.  Shame on all of you for failing our women, our children, our girls, our very way of life. How dare they throw our superior culture with both hands.

‘Son of Hamas’ Pronounced as a Fraud by Walid Shoebat

Mosab Hasan Yousef, supposed ex-Hamas terrorist, was called a fraud by former Palestinian terrorist Walid Shoebat.  Shoebat rejected Islam and terrorism a number of years ago and became a Christian and has his own ministry organization – The Walid Shoebat Foundation  where he teaches Bible prophecy and keeps abreast of Islamic and Arab developments and follows the Arabic speaking media outlets to monitor what they are saying.

Yousef became a celebrity when he wrote his book, ‘SON OF HAMAS’ which detailed how he assisted Israeli agents against Hamas. As the son of a high-ranking Hamas official, he had access to real-time information that helped the Shin Bet nab numerous wanted terrorists and saved many Israeli lives. Shoebat – a noted author and commentator on the Middle East – claims in an article on hs website –  that Yousef “has since revealed himself to be more double agent than turncoat.”  “Mosab did not convert to what the West would recognize as Christianity, but to a fiery, Palestinian brand of the faith that is vehemently anti-Israel,” he writes.

ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ

The following is a copy of an article written by Spanish writer Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez and published in a Spanish newspaper on Jan. 15, 2008. It doesn’t take much imagination to extrapolate the message to the rest of Europe – and possibly to the rest of the world.

ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez

I walked down the street in Barcelona , and suddenly discovered a terrible truth – Europe died in Auschwitz .. We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.

The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned.

And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.

They have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime.

Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.

And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.

We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.

What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe …

The Jews are NOT promoting brain washing children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims. The Jews don’t hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German restaurants. There is NOT one single Jew who has destroyed a church. There is NOT a single Jew who protests by killing people.

The Jews don’t traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.

Perhaps the world’s Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.

Muslims must ask ‘what can they do for humankind’ before they demand that humankind respects them.

Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel ‘s part, the following two
sentences really say it all:

‘If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel .” Benjamin Netanyahu

General Eisenhower Warned Us It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.

He did this because he said in words to this effect:

‘Get it all on record now – get the films – get the witnesses – because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened’

Recently, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it ‘offends’ the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the, 6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests who were ‘murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated’ while the German people looked the other way.

Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be ‘a myth,’ it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.

This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people. Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.

How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center ‘NEVER HAPPENED’ because it offends some Muslim in the United States ?

Iran’s Upcoming Propaganda Film – “The Coming is Near”

The Islāmic Republic of Iran is about to release a film, The Coming is Near,

proclaiming the imminent arrival of the 12th Imam, the Islāmic End Times leader who will lead the Muslim armies in the battles and wars of the Last Days.  The movie most certainly will continue to stoke the fires of Islāmic revolt and revolution and increase terror worldwide. Reza Khalili (not his real name), a former member of the Revolutionary Guard who worked as a double agent for the CIA confirms this and can be seen on the CBN video here (The Coming is Near).  The video is going to target Muslim audiences through out the Middle East and the world.  The message of the video is that, according to Islāmic belief, Iran is to arise as a world power to fight the enemies of Allah – The United States and Israel – and to usher in the reign of the Imam Mahdi.  As many of you know the current leader of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Supreme Leader- Ayatollah Khameni believe that time is approaching fast and may even be here.

Iran has meddled in the affairs of many of the countries in the Middle East that are currently experiencing violent protests and uprisings and it the release of the film is a tactical move to further incite the Muslim hordes to throw off the shackles of corrupt governments that are being propped up by western powers, money and influence.  The Shiite led  Islāmic Republic of Iran is on the fast track to develop nuclear weapons and has terror cells and groups throughout the world including Hezbollah, which for all intents and purposes is now calling the shots in Lebanon.  With the unrest in the Middle East accelerating and the push to declare a Palestinian State at the United Nations General Assembly in September of this year, the noose around Israel’s neck is getting tighter.  With a hell-bent Iranian led Islāmic Caliphate that is fast becoming a possibility, Israel may be forced to act or be destroyed.  The Book of Daniel prophesies of a world war between the Christian West and Islam.  The day may be fast approaching that was foretold in Isaiah:

“Behold, Damascus shall cease to be a city, It shall become a heap of ruins.”  Isaiah 17:1

Stay tuned for updates of when the Coming is Near will be released

Judaism’s Moral Dilemma

I need to set the table correctly on this topic so as not to be accused of anti-Judaism.  I am a long time lover of the Torah.  I have studied it and much of Judaism’s inspiring and beautiful

literature for about 20 years now.  I fell in love with the Jewish culture and it’s people.  Many years ago I began my journey to uncover the truth about God.  I started my trek in Christian Messianism but present myself to you today as a confirmed believer in the Jewish Destiny and Torah Judaism.  I have long jettisoned the idolatry of Christianity and embraced Judaism as my own.  But I should clarify some.  I and my wife have embraced  authentic Torah tradition.  This authentic stream of Judaism  taught by the Rambam and other Torah giants of centuries past reminds us that the subdued response to the Itamar incident is an affront to authentic Judaism.   But I’m getting ahead of myself….

Killed by Amalek

A few days ago in Itamar, a horrendous crime, committed by Palestinian criminals, shocked many in the world.   Some, those who support Israel’s enemies, blamed the murders on the residents of Itamar, basically saying , if they had not built their town there, they would have not been murdered.  This is not new or uncommon, but is the reaction of the Left, who have a deep seated hatred of Israel and  little or no moral compass to speak of, and in the scheme of things are of no lasting consequence.  Those from the quarter that should have been more vocal, the Israelis, was remarkably subdued, an almost surreal silence or at best a murmur.   That in itself is horrendous crime.  Is Israel in such a battle fatigue and burnout that the normal HUMAN response to this crime against humanity cannot be uttered?   Are the echoes of the Holocaust whispering in the ears of my fellow Jews and Israelis?  Are they willing to be slaughtered like sheep once again?  While certainly a case for identifying the Suffering Servant of Isaiah  as the people of Israel can be made in regard to the plight of the Jewish people during the long exile after the Great War, that is far different from the victim mentality that is becoming more and more obvious.

Israel has made many justifications for its lack of response over the years.  Quips such as we are above it all,  we are a people of prayer,  study and acedemia, we are a civilized nation, we are not going to stoop so low as to respond in kind to baseless violence.   Which to me is a whole lotta hooey.  The Itamar murders are an assault on decency and morality.  If it had happened to the Palestinians there would be riots.  If it would have happened anywhere else in the world, there would have been riots, protests and even violent confrontations.   These  types of reactions are NATURAL and even Normal.  I’m not promoting senseless violence, but where is the sense of betrayal and righteous indignation?  Do you think a King David or the Jews of his day would have allowed such an affront?  Absolutely not!  The Israeli government’s immediate response to the murders was to announce government approval of 500 homes in Yesha.  Are you kidding me?   Because the Palestinian terrorists brutally murdered our fellow Jews, the government is going to allow the Jewish people to built more homes on land that is by all rights ours in the first place.

Traditional Judaism is much to blame for the subdued almost non-responsive reaction. It is unfortunate that Judaism’s learned scholars has forgotten some of its own history and even some of the most important principles of the Torah.  The ancient Israelite were a proud people.  While they were not prone to senseless violence, they did not back down from a legitimate fight.  Even King David, renowned as a singer and psalmist, a man of deep inner reflection and thought, was a mighty warrior-king when the situation called for it.  Ancient Israel was a mighty warrior nation once and would have never allowed the Itamar incident to go unanswered.   Judaism spends far too much time with its nose in the books, running after various mystical teachings instead of promoting a healthy Torah based moral clarity on these important matters.  And those rabbi’s and leaders who do speak out are silenced by the Erev Rav Edomite Israeli Government.  The only ones who are actually stopping terrorist attacks are often the observant Torah observant Jew, sometimes only using sticks and rocks to repel a terrorist attack.

The Rambam -(Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon) tells us:

“This is why our kingdom was lost and our Temple was destroyed and why we were brought to this; for our fathers sinned and are no more because they found many books dealing with these themes of the star gazers, these things being the root of idolatry, as we have made clear in Laws Concerning Idolatry. They erred and were drawn after them, imagining them to be glorious science and to be of great utility. They did not busy themselves with the art of war or with the conquest of lands, but imagined that those studies would help them. Therefore the prophets called them “fools and dolts” (Jer. 4:22). And truly fools they were, “for they walked after confused things that do not profit” (I Sam. 12:21 and Jer. 2:8).

(RaMBaM, Epistle to the Sages of Marseilles, France)

The Torah commanded that Israel give justice to the orphans and the widows.  Since 2000, when this intifada began, over 123 children have been murdered by Palestinians.  Where is their justice?  Their killers are sometimes jailed, but often released later on, traded for captive Israeli soldiers.  HaShem is very concerned for those who are weaker and cannot defend themselves, such as children and the elderly.  Israel’s eternal enemy the Amalekites loved to hurt and kill the weaker parts of society.  Israel was commanded by HaShem to never forget what Amalek did to the Israelites:

Then HaShem said to Moshe, “Inscribe this in a document as a reminder, and read it aloud to Joshua: I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven!”  And Moshe built an altar and named it Adonai-Nissi.  He said, “It means, ‘Hand upon the throne of HaShem!’ HaShem will be at war with Amalek throughout the ages. (Exodus 17:14-16)

The Amalekites were the first to come in contact with the Israelites, opposing their march at Rephidim, not far from Sinai.  The Amalekites displayed their cowardice and blood lust, much in the same way that the modern-day Palestinians do:

“Remember what Amalek did to you on your journey, after you left Egypt – how undeterred by the fear of God, he surprised you on the march, when you were famished and weary, and cut down all the stragglers in your rear.  Therefore, when HaShem your God, grants you safety from all your enemies around you in the land that HaShem your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under Heaven.  Do not Forget! (Deuteronomy 25:17-19)

Sadly, we as a people have lost our way and have allowed political expediency and compromise to dictate to us what is morally acceptable.  As Rambam stated we did not busy ourselves with the art of war.  We did not deem it worthy to take on our sacred duty to learn how to wage war against our enemies, and our enemies know it.   We are in a bad place and getting worse everyday.  Many of the religious leaders tell us we must wait for the Messiah and he will take care of it all.   BALDERDASH!   The prophecies of the last Days portray our people both from the House of Judah and the returned 10 tribes as a nation of warriors, fighting the enemies of God.  This transformation takes place prior to the Mashiach’s return.  We can no longer afford to listen to morally bankrupt advice from leaders who have a broken moral compass and who engage in compromise that is detrimental to the Jewish people.  The righteous morality of the Torah would have us as a people who react in righteous indignation and take immediate action to the Amalekite tactics of the Palestinian Authority and it’s killers.  To do less is sin against Heaven itself.  But Israel fears how the nations view them and so react in a cowardly fashion.  A people who refuses to stand up for itself is a people who is undeserving of freedom and nationhood.  Israel is called to be a light to the nations, not a flickering candle in the wind.

Palestinian Barbarism Update

The terrorist attack committed against the Fogel family and the Jewish community at Itamar in Samaria Israel is probably one of the most heinous terror acts committed against Jews in some time.  But we only need to remember our history to realize that the Palestinians excel at killing Jewish children, having murdered at least 123 in acts of terror since 2000.  Today Palestinians are passing out candy to celebrate and Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of the Palestinian Authority, refuses to condemn the murders.  The western mainstream leftwing media is actually blaming the people of Itamar for their own murders, which is par for the media who have a deep-seated hatred of Israel.  The New York Times reported that the proximity of the Jewish ‘settlement’ to the Palestinian town of Awarta caused the incident:

“The killers appeared to have randomly picked the house, one of a neat row of identical one-story homes at the edge of the settlement, on a rocky incline overlooking the nearby Palestinian village of Awarta — the proximity underlining the visceral nature of the contest in this area between Jewish settlers and Palestinians over the land.”

It is shameful and a crime against humanity to support known terrorist organization such as the PA Fatah faction who is responsible for the murders at Itamar according to sources in Israel, and both the media and the United States government are in bed with the PA.  It is also a crime to suggest that because there was a Jewish settlement, the blame for the murders lie at the feet of the town of Itamar, as the New York Times clearly is suggesting.

David Horowitz, conservative commentator and author of many books on the Middle East and Israel and the Front Page Mag website stated that, “No people have shown themselves as so morally sick as the Palestinians.”  He also noted that “In the history of humanity, there was never a people who strapped bombs on their bodies and killed innocent people.  No other people has sunk so low as the Palestinians, and everyone is afraid to say it.”  Horowitz, himself was one a left-wing academic, educated at Columbia University and part of the New Left in the 1960’s.

In regard to the Palestinian claims to the Land of Israel, it is common knowledge that historically the name Palestinian always refered to the Jewish people.  There never was a Palestinian nation in the land of Israel since the days of the Roman conquest.  There most certainly was not a Palestine in 1946.  The wars against the Jews started in the guise of Pan-Arab nationalism and the Palestinian Liberation Organization was created by the KGB.  Arafat was advised that the best way to succeed is to play the role of the victim and claim that the only thing they want is their land back which Israel is supposedly occupying.  Israel since the days of the Roman occupation has never given up their rights to the land that HaShem gave them in covenant over 3400 years ago.  During the Jewish Peoples long captivity in the nations of the world, the land of Israel languished and was a desolation.  The few Arabs that actually occupied the land did nothing to cultivate it and only when the Jewish people began returning to the Land of Israel did it again begin to blossom.

One only need to travel to Israel to experience the Palestinian culture of death.  Every Palestinian town I was ever in was  dreary and grey.  Palestinians do not typically plant many trees or flowers.  But if you travel to the so-called Jewish settlements, they are full of life.  Jews love to plants trees, bushes and flowers.  The difference between the two are as night and day.  It will be a sad day indeed when Israel bends to the pressure of the Jew hating media and Western Governments and allows a Palestinian state to exist.  If this state ever comes into existence, that will be the end of the state of Israel.

Sociopath Terror in Samaria

This past Friday, March 11, 2011, Arab terrorists entered the home of Rabbi Fogel in Itamar, Israel and murdered him, his wife, his 11-year-old son, his 3-year-old son and a 3 month old baby.  The 3-year-old son was brutally stabbed in the heart and the throat of the 3 month old infant was slashed.  Photo of the brutal killings are available on Arutz Sheva.  The photo’s have been released by the family to report the horror of killing innocent children simply because they were Jewish.  The terrorist were from the Fatah Freedom Fighters.  About 20 Arabs have been arrested up to now.  The IDF investigation of the attack has discovered that at 20:59,  terrorists entered the community. They jumped over the fence and an alert sounded. The guard on duty went to the spot from which the warning was heard, but saw no evidence of infiltration and therefore, made the erroneous decision that an animal had activated the electronic fence’s warning signal.  Between 22:20 and 22:30 the terrorists entered the house through the living room picture window, did not notice the 6-year-old boy sleeping on the couch and continued on to the bedroom where they slashed the throats of the father and newborn baby who were sleeping there. The mother came out of the bathroom and was stabbed on its threshold.  They then slashed the throat of the 11-year old-son who was reading in bed. They did not notice the 2-year old asleep in his bed, but murdered the 3-year old with two stabs to his heart. After that, they locked the door, exited through the window and escaped.  The only survivors were a 12-year-old girl, who returned from a Bnei Akiva youth group event to discover her parents and three of her brothers and sisters,including a three-month old baby girl, dead in pools of blood, and two younger brothers, who were sleeping a separate room.

In a statement to the media, the terrorist cell of the Fatah faction headed by PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas claimed that the attack was a “heroic operation, part of the natural response to the massacres of the fascist occupation against our people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.”  Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that Israel would file a complaint with the United Nations. “Israel is expecting to hear a strong condemnation from all democratic states which in the name of human rights hurry to denounce every caravan movement in Judea and Samaria but as of last night have yet to condemn the heinous murder of an entire family, including a three-month-old baby,” he stated.

It numbs the mind that the majority of the targets were children.   Anyone that can murder children in their sleep is not human but a vicious monster that should be put down as one puts down a rabid dog.  Slashing the throat of a 3 month old child is the work of sociopaths not so-called freedom fighters.  Any religion or ideology that condone and carries out such vicious attacks on innocent children should never see the inside of a jail cell, let alone a courtroom.  These are the conditions in which Israeli’s must endure through.  The PA has so demonized the Jewish people in their schools and institutions, that many Palestinians are raised with a virulent hatred of the Jewish people.  And the media are as much to blame as well, often siding with these Islāmic extremists, giving their murderous agenda legitimacy in the eyes of the world.

If the world has any moral sense and rationality, in no way shape, form or fashion can a Palestinian State ever be allowed to exist alongside with Israel.  If that becomes a reality, what happened in Itamar yesterday will become a regular event.  Hard choices need to be made soon, regarding Islāmic extremism.  I for one have always been an advocate of striking your enemy before he has the power to destroy you.  The Arab world and the Muslim faith have basically been silent regarding condemnation of what we call terrorism.  And the silence is deafening.  There have been a few who have spoken out but they are insignificant in number.  The truth is that the Muslim world, especially the Palestinians, have so corrupted and betrayed the current and upcoming generations, that it is a guaranteed certainty that a world war will result.  Having watched the events of the Middle East in recent weeks, I’d say that possibility will come sooner than later.

What is Religious Extremism?

There are many challenges that our planet faces today.  As one looks around we see many problems that our modern society is trying to cope with; environmental issues which impact America, China and many other countries; the financial woes which confront us all are constantly in the news.  But one of the most dangerous problems we face is religious extremism.  While certainly Islāmic Jihadists are foremost in many people s minds, Islam is not alone ion extremist views.  Christian extremism is also on the rise as well as in Judaism to a more limited degree.  Religious extremism can be defined as a person or group that takes the position that  if others do not follow their ways, they will be damned.  While these extremists present themselves as deeply spiritual, religious fanaticism comes not from deep faith, but from a lack of it.  The only thing religious fanaticism really demonstrates is weakness on the part of the fanatic. Weakness in his own faith.

There is much confusion regarding terms that the media and other groups banter around, such as religious fundamentalism, religious fanaticism, and conservatism.  To many intellectuals and media types, these terms are essentially equivalent to religious extremism.  However there are important differences.  My religious conservatives lead quiet exemplary lives.  Religious fanatics or extremists, however, are often very aggressive, seeking to impose their views on other people or people groups.  These extremism often preach intolerance against all who disagree with their own viewpoints.  We have seen this with Islāmic extremists who cannot tolerate any adverse portrayals of Islam or its leaders or icons.  Fundamentalism as well is not fanatical in and of itself.  Many fundamentalists are truly seeking the roots of there particular faiths.  However, fundamentalism can quickly turn into dogmatic fanaticism.  These types often present themselves as holier-than-thou and openly condemn the practices and beliefs of the society around them with dogmatic certainty, promoting themselves as having a monopoly on the truth.

Recently, I had an exchange with a Christian women which upset my family and I as well as family of the women.  My wife and I have a home-based business.  Any successful internet business is utilizes social media such as Facebook, Twitter and such.  As part of our advertising effort we sent out LinkedIn invites to our contacts.  One of the contacts was a Christian woman of our acquaintance.  We had met this women through some friends of ours.  She was our friends mother and she has been to our home and enjoyed our hospitality.  Some time after meeting this women, my wife and I made the decision to abandon our long-standing faith in the New Testament.  After receiving our social media invite many months later, she responding to it with condemnation and vitriol.   She wanted no part of us became we abandoned faith in Jesus and accused us of corrupting her son, stating that God does not hear the prayers of those who don’t profess faith in Jesus.  Of course we were shocked and hurt.  Our decision was not an easy one to make.  We struggled with it amid tears and anguish.  It was not an easy decision to make.  But our decision has brought us much comfort and peace.  And since that time my own studies and research, which is and always has been very extensive, have routinely confirmed our decision as the right one for us.

ARE YOU A RELIGIOUS EXTREMIST?

Below is a list of red flags or warning signs that you or your loved one is a religious fanatic or associated with an extremist group.

1.  A person that misinterprets a book of faith in order to cause hatred and ignorance towards homosexuals, lesbians, people of color, women, and anyone else that is different.  While it is ok to disagree with lifestyle choices, hatred toward some on the basis of their identification in a certain group is religious bigotry and is not ever condone by God.  Christian extremists who bomb abortion clinics are an affront to God.  God may well indeed disapprove and condemn the idea of killing of a fetus, but that is a far cry from committing murder and terrorism in the Name of God.

2.  A person that denies all logic, science, and common sense in order to find comfort in faith.

3.  A person that believes it is okay to hurt and kill, as long as it is performed in the name of faith.  Islam believes that jihad is justified under the Quran.   One of the tragedies of Islāmic faith is how women are treated under Sharia Law.  In Iran and other Islāmic Republics or societies, Sharia is used to enforce aparthied against the female populace.  There are many reports, too many to mention here of so-called honor killings, which no civilized faith would endure or permit.

4.  A person that comes up with ignorant responses to disprove scientific facts, i.e, the Earth is 6000 years old (Even though it has been proven to be 4.5 Billion yeas old.)  Normative Judaism has long acknowledged that the Creation is far older than many people of faith realize.  It should be interesting to note that the ancient Kabbalist’s determined that the earth was 4.5 billion years old based on secrets contained with the ancient text of the Hebrew Torah.

5.  Anyone who is overly argumentative about what the Bible says.  It has been my experience that most religious extremists have a very poor grasp of what the Scriptures actually say.  Extremist is prone to taking biblical passages out of context to dogmatically declare their own view-point as the truth.  Many people fail to take into account that religious texts are produced by certain cultures.  For instance the Tanakh or Old testament was produced by ancient Israelites or Jews.  Much of what is contained within this text is culturally Jewish and often foreign to the Western mindset.  But religious extremists take passages which can only be understood culturally, and interpret and twist them according to their own modern ideas.

I look forward to exposing the fraudulent use of Scripture by religious fanatics and educating those who wish to understand what the biblical texts actually convey about God, Israel and Judaism.
