1. Islamic organization in Miami also at Threat ?
ben ,   singapore   (09.29.07)
Here mosque are at threat, too. It is a pity they blow up mosque around the world. Many good muslims died by the TERRORSIT NETWORK. Blood Shed. The Extermist Islamic Terror Net work are the one who go about bombiing the Friday Muslim Services. Very Bad Kurafats ! KURAFATS !!!! ben singapore
2. US will soon abandon Israel
John ,   London,UK   (09.29.07)
US will not be paying to bankroll Israel forever. Soon, Us aid and fund will stop and Israel will be left with nothing. It has no ties with Arab world and therefore its survival will be put at risk. Iran wants US to stop the flow of money to Israel because they claim it is an obsticle to peace. US is beginning to listen to Iran.
3. to Ben in Singapore #1
Hilda ,   US   (09.29.07)
Der Ben, Surely you know tht all mosques that were blown up were done by fellow Muslims. Most of the attacks by Muslims in US were disguised as plain ordinary crime instead of what they really were terror attack. What is a terror attack anyway? An attack that is meant to scare as well as to kill and surely that's what they were. And most were against Jews.
4. smoke and mirrors
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.29.07)
Most would see this as good news ,but it's very bad news indeed. While this same government allows Islamic terrorists to flood into this country they put on a fake show that they are fighting terrorism. Homeland security gave more money to Islamic groups than they did to Jewish groups and this is not reported . I wonder why ? Taking large sums of U.S. money is how Israel became a slave holding of the U.S. The no longer sovereign Israel is chained to the U.S. led Road Map to her final destruction and just can't seem to ever say no to bad,.bad,failed U.S. agenda to carve up Israel to the Islamic terrorists. All the shill Politicians of Israel know who their boss is. The boss is where the money comes from and if Olmert does not preform Israel gets no money or new toys. You become enslaved by your growing dependence on this dirty money. Better to trust in Hashem than to become a slave of devious,corrupt men who sell their mother's for a barrel of oil. http://www.homelandsecurityus.com/

Dr Hilda, I agree with you, Yes, the whole pupose of the terrorist is to scare the public in fact to cause a public trauma and further sabotage their targeted nation and their economy and the lawfull military of any sovereign nation . I am of on estrong opinion, that true muslims dont engage in such activities but it is the sick sectorian islamic extermist who directly and indirectly aid, abbet, procure and counsel the Terrorsit activity- bombing public places. I am also of the opinion that the terrorist have been trying hard to turn the table on the Israeli- blame pushing PR excercise. I have been talking with some of my friends here and overseas there has been a desperate attempt by the terror link networks to put the blame in the Israeli. Well, the terrorist financing and money- laudering from the Terror Links has been funding such frolic of castigating against the Israeli. I suppose there has been such Extremist Islamic influence being empowered over the journalist community and various public relations firms.( BBC)( Amnesty International) ( THE UN ) just to name a few. MONEY TALKS LAUDER, JOURNALIST SELL THEIR HONOR and PROFESSION. Of course the other objective of the terrorist is to cause fear as you righfully pointed out. However the terrorist will never succeed blaming the jewish people and / or the non- muslims world. We here have eyes to see, we can think from the Religious and Political Point of View - although there has been some vibration against and towards extermist sectarian thinking in South East Asia REcently. Singapoer is the gate way to the east and the west. In singapore no nonsense, please . No place for theseExtremist Islamic Terrorist. We are ready, our strategy is NO FEAR, we are resilient and we will recover immediately, to go forth should there be a strike. We studied the Sept 11 and the London Bombing.We are ready and prepared in the best way within out ability in good faith. The 24 million ( as reported by Ynet )for Jewish non- profit org - it is a money well spent, I am also aware that it is the Israeli that has been fighting terrorist in the longest period in time and space ,see world history speaks for itself. As such it is only fair to give out anti-terror grant to Jewsih Organisation especially in the US. But The Jewish Org must take the grant like trustee's with one clear subject matter- that they enforce and make pure use of the money for the common good of humanity, As such it is also to safe guard the good muslim community in USA and all around the world to protect their interest and well being from the Extermist Islamic Terrorsit. How ever I am also very cautious, at to the identity of the terrorsit, it is very hard to distinguish between a good muslim and the extremist. They seem to fuse, but the benefit of the doubt must be give to those wicked one also, where there is insuffecient prove. It is going about going back again to the jewsih hallmark of justice. That it is better to release 100 convicts than punishing one innocent. This is the origin of the doctrine Presumption of Innocent ,(POI) that dates back to the Torah of Hashem, the Noah's Time, The Great Avraham's time, The Great Teacher Moshe Rabiyahnu's time and the Jewish System of Administration of Justice - Criminal Justice System. continue..
8. No TWO : @ 3 Hilda
ben ,   singapore   (09.29.07)
continue ...But I must tell you that the terrorist are taking our sense of Justice in (POI) to their terrorist advantage. So they ( the terrorsit ) hide under the Extremist Islamic Religion to justify and seek public outcry and also manipulate the right thinking members of the society. This is how and where the terrorist turn the table against the Jewish People in Isarel and in the diaspora. But than such tricks dosent work anymore we have eyes to see and brains to think. We also know that there are the good muslims in this beautiful world that frequently get sandwiched to gether in the Crime Of Terrorism. This much I can safely say in truth and honesty from my heart .As such the homeland Security Department of USA must monitor that the TRUST of Grant , so as it is fairly used for one purpose - TO FIGHT TERRORISM and also to protect the innocent muslims ( if there are any left ) so also to safe guard and protect their house of prayer like we want to safe guard outrHouse of Prayer inIsrael and the diapora. We owe a duty of care and due diligence to the common good of humanity without fear , favor with impartiality. Let the Torah be the equilliberum of guide and good concience, may the all ( jews and gentile ) conduct their affairs well and fairly in this world and be able to face the CREATOR in thwe world to come. ben singapore

Bill Hicks' Ghost ,   Dubai, UAE   (09.29.07)
I dont see Syria's or Saudi's or any other arab country's army illegally occupying any western european country or american state....i see western armies illegally occupying mulsim and arab lands, so the west is at war with the arabs and muslims because it chose to. the arabs are in a state of defence and the west is on the offence. thats the truth and you know it.

the arab nations, though wishing with all their might to occupy the other nations and subjugate them to sharia law and islamization, thanks god cannot militarily occupy othercountries for their nefarious agenda. the way they occupy is to send paramilitary terrorist factions and terrorists rebel armies to the usa and other countries such as lebanon, israel, jordan, etc.... so that they can inflict terrorism in those countries, change democratic governments, etc... the arab nations do this through terrorist proxies and propaganda pallywood style knowing full well that they cannot acheive thier agenda without terror, infiltration and killing. this is what is happening in iraq now where suni and shia kill each other, where anti syrian government officials are murdered by iran and syria so as to subjugate lebanon to be an islamic state and not a democracy. you, sir, are blind!

Very good comments. However, G-d gave us brains and muscles to defend ourselves. It's not good enough to leave it all up to Him. He helps those who help themselves. I'm all for Israel being self-reliant, but that means fully developing Israel's own high tech military industry. Of course the Americans would try to undermine those efforts, but when there's a will, there's a way.

you wrote ; " It's not good enough to leave it all up to Him. He helps those who help themselves" In the end is is all up to God. Trusting in men has gotten us where we are at today. Worthless is the help of man is what the Bible says and it is proved out. Look around. God does not help those who are SELF sufficient but He does help those weak and helpless unable to help themselves. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. America has become proud. full of herself and assuming she is god. He will bring America down to the dust and then Israel will have no other place to go but Him. This will be Israel's salvation,real help as the world is united against her. The friendship with the u.S. has become a curse on Israel. Just look at the phony peace scam this president pushes rewarding Islamic terrorism and stealing what little land the Jews have.

for video surveillance. B'Nai David Congregation in Visaliahas been plastered with hate graffiti and has to have lock high iron gates and fences around the building unlike most Christian churches in the area except St. Mary's Roman Catholic church which has to have locked high wrought iron gates and fences, too. Since the Ten Commandments were taken out of the public schools in America, children have less direction in what is right and wrong. My opinion is that reading should be taught with McGuffy Readers books that teach the Ten Commanments to students as they learn to read, as a fundamental doctrine. That should not offend any religious group since the laws of all nations that I know of are based on the Ten Commandments.

What does the US' choice to fund organizations dedicating to protecting ordinary Jews, regardless of their political leanings, from attacks by those Muslims who hate Jews enough to open fire at daycare centers, have ANYTHING to do with Israel, or foreign aid? Do you think the US should not protect its own citizens if they happen to be Jews? Where do politics even inject in this particular article? US aid to Israel is actually on an increase, from 2 billion to 3 billion per year, and it seems to be in accordance with renewed negotiations between Olmert and Abbas. Israel has ties with Jordan and Egypt, albeit primitive, but the US doesn't exactly benefit from ties with Arabs except through getting oil. The US candidates for 2008 almost all exclusively support an end to dependance on foreign oil- on top of that, even if oil were to remain a major import, organizations like OPEC have proven time and time again that they can't effectively ruin the US economy. Also, the primary source of oil, Saudi Arabia, is always in friendly relations with the US so they can get their oil money. Most of these Arab governments care more about the money than the Palestinian cause. Iran is flowing money to insurgents fighting US troops in Iraq, to Hamas, to Syrians, to pretty much every guerilla group and force fighting against every Western power as well as Israel. Some Americans believe that talking with Iran, an enemy, is essential, but almost all acknowledge Ahmadinejad's stupidity and monstrous behavior, and the terrors committed under his regime, even among left-wing circles. The US may very well begin trying to find a way to defeat Iran politically, as opposed to militarily, but that doesn't mean she is "listening" to them, and following their orders. Even the Democratic candidates are clear about their desire to stop hatred in the Middle East for the US AND Israel. You can dream up your own reality and make bold statements about the future of a country you're not a citizen of, but that doesn't make it true John.
