61. #8 islam's accomplishments
REAL vision ,   USA   (03.25.12)
exactly what are islam's accomplishments. I cannot seem to remember any accomplishments. Islam just causes death and destruction. Islam is a disgrace everywhere
62. Genius
Zivron   (03.25.12)
Abraham essay a genius and conceived laws of decency.But his willingness to sacrifice isaak if its true revealed the trait of paranoid megalomania or a cunning propogandist for humanitarianism.His descendants were better than the nazis.they. generally accepted converts.Islam mutated malignantly by aligning with nazism and holocaust denial and minimilization.The Jewish national secure sanctuary Revolution in Israel made mistakes and still commits war crimes but no one except East Timor has been better.Even East Timor has refused sanctuary for refugees and is packed full in corruption .

64. to 58
(03.25.12)
once a man said - religion is the food of the poor - i think this man has no soul sure he is not hungry but there are people to have both food of the body and food of the soul many moslemes have both iam one of them policy is another thing you can agree or not but religion you trust with food or without food
65. OJ / # 8
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (03.25.12)
If Islam with all it's many people were anything to write home about they would be able to acomplish at least a fraction of what the Jewish people have. If Islam were the religion of peace they would not riot and kill over teddy bears and cartoons. There is nothing more we need to know about Islam OJ. Tiny little Israel puts all Islamic countries to shame.
66. #29, christains are the biggest killers
jb ,   Encino, CA   (03.25.12)
#29 do you know anything about history. So called "christians" have killed more people then Islam+jews+hindus+budhists combined multiplied by 10 at the least.
67. maybe all religion is the problem including yours
jb ,   Encino, CA   (03.25.12)
68. Endorsements anyone
Glen ,   The Bronx   (03.25.12)
Shual Rosefeld you are certainly full of endorsements (if you know what I mean) that say nothing of any intellect nor a grasp of just what is happening in the world spiritually and of the changes that are occurring retroactively. None the less, keep informing us of what and whom you endorse (if you know what I mean).
69. #48 David
Jim044 ,   USA   (03.25.12)
i don't think it makes a very good point to lump today's protestant Christian in with the history of the Catholic church and some twisted people who claim to be Christian(Russians and Nazis).....jf
70. Islam must/will be destroyed!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (03.25.12)
Islam is a false religion concocted in the very halls of Hell.
71. Arabs are fed lies
Malka Geneshe ,   Miami Beach, U.S.A.   (03.25.12)
Mr. Leon, your facts are totally mistaken. The Arabs have started every war with Israel. The Israeli army takes the utmost care not to harm civilians, but war is war. The settlers bought their land and have the deed to prove it, if otherwise they have been evicted as ordered by Israeli courts. Iran's ruler, Achmanidijad constantly threatens to annihilate Israel (as does the Hamas and PLO charter). Israel allows truckloads of food and medicine into Gaza on a regular basis. If people are starving, their Hamas rulers are to blame for ignoring their plight and channeling funds for military purposes only.
72. repeating history...
michel ,   Ashkelon   (03.25.12)
Europeans facing danger were always blind and laking courage like in the thirties with fascism. The wake up will be painfull and catastrophic.
73. #29
yosef yankelev, Phd ,   USA   (03.25.12)
Hey there, I figure you meant your drivel. Of all truly ignorant, sanctimonious morons, you take the cake. Look up the Crusaders, Inquisition, American Indians, Jewish Pogroms, Nazi inspired atrocities to name a few -- rivers of blood and torture -- all in the name of Christ.....
74. To #8
Non isreali ,   Australia   (03.25.12)
I heard a saying that rings true for the majority of arab countries, i say arab because islam is a religion not a race. The saying goes - never underestimate the power of stupid people in a large group- This has been seen time and time again when anyone has the guts to say or do anything against islam. Arab countries are poor, and their people are to a large extent dont have the basics of education. The imams and clerics use this fact to their own pursuit of power. Good luck denying this arab people....
75. The incredible denial of reality of the radical Left
Shalom Freedman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.25.12)
It is difficult to understand the kind of hypoocrisy, folly and total denial of reality involved in the Radical Left's embrace of those who most strongly contradict their fundamental values. If one needs to prove how Irrational and Escapist human beings can be one need only study the Radical Left's embrace of the Islamic Fundamentalists.
76. #30 ergenekon
solomon ,   bklyn   (03.25.12)
Your post makes no sense whatsoever. In answer to "Almost everyone is staying away from pointing the finger at Islam." you say "so what?"? No rebuttal? No reasoning? It seems the finger pointing would be accurate.
77. Mr writer,you are a BIG liar
Moses ,   Jerusalem   (03.25.12)
Gone are the days when dust could be thrown into peoples eyes. That Islam is the problem, pls come again. Every open and level headed person knows the undercover devilish religion of our time, that religion has being a problem from day one and it is a problem. pls spare us this rubbish.
78. #69: Unfortunately you are wrong!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (03.25.12)
It would be nice if Antisemitism was limited to one branch of Christianity but just look around and see where most hatred of Jews come from and please start in the UK, particularly England, and go on to the USA where it is growing and has spread to the BLT. Strange they stand with Muslims, who put Gays to death, to condemn Israel! Let's not forget that the close friend and mentor of the President of the United States, the Rev. Wright, is a rabid Antisemite! Unfortunately, because of the hate propaganda against Israel spewed out by the Muslim world, Antisemitism, which went into "hibernation" after the Holocaust has become politically correct and is in vogue today. A "fine" example" today are the rantings against Jews and Israel by Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu of the "Peace and Reconciliation Commission"!
79. #66 #73 Really??
Poster #29   (03.25.12)
Would you agree with me that the US is far more dangerous than Iran, because radical Christians are getting more and more influence in your country? Rick Santorum might be your president at the end of the year. "God's own country" you call yourself, after all what Christianity has done. You both have written it yourself. Maybe the US is the Satan and Iran is right. Could that be? Who is the ignorant moron?
80. To all Christian Haters'!
Taz Man ,   USA   (03.25.12)
To those who name, so-called, times of Christian killing: these people were not true Christians--period!!! With that said, the Christians' are the only true faith. As Jesus Christ said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one gets to the Father but by me." Now, it's up to you unsaved people to do with that what you want; be careful on the decision you make. Also, read: John 3:16 & Acts 4:12. You can read...can't you? God bless, Israel and His Jerusalem! A Christian Zionist
81. #78 David (not wrong)
Jim044 ,   USA   (03.25.12)
Can't say that all modern Christians are good, but the basic teaching is to love one another (that means want and do what's best for them) and I have nothing against any Jew except many posting here seem to be full of hate and paranoia. I have no use for Wright and Tutu and don't subscribe to their teachings if it varies from the basic i have stated above. Please read post #80 to help you. Have included my e-mail address in case you need more simplified Christian teachings or just want to rant at someone...jf
82. Islam's WINDOW of opportunity to DETOTALITARIZE is CLOSING.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (03.25.12)
83. #79 poster
solomon ,   bklyn   (03.25.12)
No, I would not agree with you that the US is far more dangerous than Iran. Even if the US is on the road to being dangerous because of religion, Iran is already there. And in modern times, Islam has proved itself much more dangerous. And what country does not consider itself the closest one to G-d? Very, very few. Result: You are the ignorant moron.
84. Mr. Rosenfeld be a realist
m   (03.25.12)
The arabs do the world's work, just as the nazis (I'Sh) did. In their heart of hearts they all cheer the murderers not knowing that their time will come soon.
85. quiz
Finious ,   Toronto,Canada   (03.25.12)
Here is your media studies quiz for this week: 1. What is the name of the killer who recently killed 4 people in France? 2. What is his religion? 3. Do you know the names, ages or occupations of any of his victims? 4. What is the name of the killer who recently killed 16 people in Afghanistan? 5. What is his religion? 6. Do you know the names, ages or occupations of any of his victums? 7. Think about it.
86. Western left-wing intellectuals
eva goldschmidt ,   Heidelberg, Germany   (03.25.12)
the moment it was leaked that the murderer was a Muslim with alleged Al-Kaida affiliations, German Media representatives and left-wing politicians began to find excuses for killer. I strongly believe that they are happy that the Muslims are doing the dirty work and accomplish their dream: A world without Jews. Their tacit support in Germany is to boycott Jewish Israeli scholars, German Jewish students and inviting Nuseibeigh who propagated peaceful world without Israel. The ordinary people are just scared by the influx of more and more Muslims. E. Goldschmidt
87. Totally disagree with article.
eliza ,   Australia   (03.26.12)
As far as I am concerned only one word is needed in response to this - Indonesia - a state which is predominantly Islamic and which is more tolerant and democratic than Israel could ever hope to be.
88. #5 finious - answer to quiz
solomon ,   bklyn   (03.26.12)
We know the answers of one through six and a partial answer for number seven. (Partial answer to #7: family name: Wazir. women: Shakarina, Zahra. children: Nabiya, Farida, Massoumeh, Palwasha, Esmatullah, Faizullah.) Not exactly the answer you expected, yes? Think about it. We don't know the answer to number seven as it is easier to remember
89. #29
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (03.26.12)
I think you are forgetting about the Crusades in the Middle Ages, the Inquisition in Spain, the expulsion of Jews from England in the Middle Ages and many other crimes committed against Jews by christians.
90. No 52 Leon
Emma ,   London   (03.26.12)
Why don't you stop spouting errant nonsense and learn some historical facts. Why don't you also cite accurate, independent sources for your ridiculous statement Israel ……………'kills at will". How does an invasion by 5 Arab armies in 1948 constitute Israel starting a war? How does threats and mobilisation against Israel constitue Israel starting the 1967 War? How does an invasion over the Suez Canal by Egypt and invasion by Syria in the North in 1973 constitute Israel starting the Yom Kippur War? Stop regurgitating Arab propaganda and read more widely on the subject. You really are a total brain dead idiot.
