Are Western Pluralistic Societies Incompatible With Islam?
German Muslim students protest Holocaust remembrance, attack Israel
Or maybe we did such a good job de-fanging Germany that they are unwilling to fight for anything, and see all philosophies as superior to their own.The school director said that it was good there was student opposition to the memorial event because it "is the basis of discussion."I am curious what discussion was had whose basis is the rejection of Holocaust education, and demonization of Israel...but that's just me.

It needs a slogan like "my open door is a welcome to refugees."
/and it also says "rob me, rape my wife and terrorize my children." But they can find that out themselves.

I know many here have read Matt Bracken's "What I saw at the coup."
He wrote a great short story series more recently dealing with islam called, "Piss Christ? Piss Koran!" Like Crichton's book "State of Fear" in that it's really a lecture to the reader on why islam is not compatible w/western civilization.

They always say they want a conversation, why don't they say prior to any protests, an organized debate has to be had in the auditorium. Make these shitheels come in and defend their ideas instead for shouting people down. Any breach and they are expelled and can do their SJW mission uninterrupted by any diversions.

So now Trumps in 'trouble' for failing to mention the Jews in his holocaust remembrance message.
---
"It is with a heavy heart and somber mind that we remember and honor the victims, survivors, heroes of the Holocaust. It is impossible to fully fathom the depravity an horror inflicted on innocent people by Nazi terror."
---
So apparently no Jews were victims, survivors or heroes of the Holocaust. And they sure weren't innocent!

Aaand again. I don't get it. Jews have much more in common culturally with Germans than Muslims do, since they have by and large assimilated. You get any recording of Bach's unaccompanied violin sonatas, and chances are, the violinist will be Jewish.
So why is so much latitude given to these pool defecating gropists to dredge up a past that Germany is (rightly) ashamed of? Why does Germany side with them instead of with their Jewish population with which they have much more in common in almost every way (even religion wise, since the Old Testament is considered part of Christian scripture)?

There are elements of Islam that actually are compatable with western society. It calls for caring for the needy, opposes things like murder and theft, and directs its people to be law abiding. Islam is at its core another works-based religion where you are judged at the end of time for your balance of good vs evil (sort of like Zoroastrianism) so the central concept could be interpreted and turned into a valuable and useful addition to the world.
The problem is that there are also elements of conquest, mistreatment of women, and slavery which are never opposed or explained and to make matters worse, nearly a thousand years of continual additions to the religion by scumbags and lunatics have made the religion a complete mess.

The President has a lot of plenary authority over immigration per statutes on the books, which many pundits (and now a couple of judges) ignore.
One of the bases for excluding would-be entrants is past or current membership in a Communist or totalitarian party.
Isn't Islam a totalitarian party? Certainly strains like ISIS are. If the Nazis worshiped Odin they'd still be totalitarian, no?

I would like to thank the usual suspects, bluebell, madamemayhem, Miley and others who sent up vehicle prayers for me yesterday afternoon.
I firmly believe it's what got this old part hobbit/elf/ranger 'there and back again.'
The gig went well aside from starting and finishing an hour later than originally booked. They had booked some kids from the KC music academy in, in front of us so waiting for them to tear down and load out put things behind.
We didn't mind. It was fun watching them "grow" a bit and gain a little confidence with each song as people applauded for them. First time in that type of setting for most of them I'm guessing.
Anyway, thanks again!!

As a Catholic, I see something very simplistic behind all of this pandering to Islam: at best, Pope Frank wants to somehow get those one billion Muslims to become Catholic. At worst, he wants to be the head of the One World Religion that puts him in charge of all Christians and Muslims.
/guess he's going to need to work on the Buddhist and Hindu outreach programs as well.

I wrote this for another blog, about how Islam conquers societies:
When Muslims are a tiny minority in a population, they tend to be peaceful and keep to themselves. They may be upstanding members of society. They say, "We just want to be left alone to practice our religion in peace."
As their numbers grow, they begin making demands on the majority population. They will use the infidels' sense of tolerance against them. They will demand that Muslim cabdrivers not be required to pick up fares with alcohol or seeing-eye dogs, that Muslim checkout clerks in grocery stores not be required to handle pork products, or that Muslim-style footbaths be installed in public restrooms. Any resistance to their demands is met with accusations of bigotry or "Islamophobia".
When their numbers climb above 5% or so, they begin to get violent. It starts small, with scattered incidents that gradually become more organized and frequent. Above 10%, conditions really begin to deteriorate. They become openly threatening and aggressive towards kaffirs in public. Muslim political leaders get elected to more and more government offices, and begin to influence public policy. They start putting loudspeakers on mosques, forcing everyone to hear that caterwauling five times a day, every day, for the rest of their lives. There is no escape.
As their numbers climb higher, violent incidents become endemic. They begin to attack churches and synagogues filled with worshippers. Non-Muslims start to flee the violence, causing the Muslim percentage of the population to grow even faster.
Above 50%, it's "Convert, pay the jizya, or die, infidel."
Then the Muslim percentage of the population explodes, as terrified people convert with a literal knife held to their necks. The conquest is complete.
Islam teaches that Muslims are superior to all other people. Non-Muslims are technically "tolerated" in a majority Muslim nation, but under sharia law they are legally second-class citizens. They must pay a special tax (the jizya) and there may be additional restrictions placed on their behavior. Historically, these have taken various forms in different times and places. For example, a non-Muslim may not be allowed to build his house taller than the house of a Muslim, or he may not be allowed to look a Muslim in the eye but must keep his eyes downcast, or he may be required to wear special clothing to advertise his status as a dhimmi. (Where do you think Hitler got the idea of making Jews wear a yellow Star of David? Yep.)
In a Muslim majority nation, non-Muslims may be subject to being beaten, raped, or killed by Muslims, at a whim or on a slender pretext, and there are often little or no legal consequences for doing so. Rape of uncovered women by Muslim men has reached epidemic proportions in parts of Europe, and they're not even a majority. Yet.
While it may take decades or longer to play out, this pattern has repeated time and time again in countries that have been conquered by Islam. It is as predictable as the sunrise. The only way to avoid it is to make sure that Muslims remain a tiny minority in the population. Once they gain a foothold, the progression is inexorable.

The constant comparisons of Jews in the Holocaust with Muslims is not just infuriating but ignorant to a painful degree that is horrendous to the victims of Nazi (and Soviet) evil.
Jews being turned away from the USA by immigration limits was ghastly because they were specifically being hunted down, tortured, and murdered for being Jews.
Turning Muslims away because of their murderous tendencies when they are (allegedly) fleeing a war of their own doing against each other irrespective of their race and religion is a completely different thing.
Only an incomprehensibly vast asshole would conflate the two.

BTW, I worked pretty closely with two Muslims at one of my last jobs.
One was Turkish, drank liquor and did not pray 1,000x a day. He was a functioning member of society and not at all scary. Had daughters who appeared to date non-Muslims. But... not Sunni/Shia.
The other was a black guy who changed his name to be more "african" and was a Sufi. Outside of the lazy, entitled NAACP attitude, I really don't feel he was going to go jihadi at any time either.

Ummmmmm....Yes. Islam is a made up "religion" used by those who want to control others and it offers nothing of value but death, debasement and mutilation.

Mohammad was a pedophile.
Some say he was schizophrenic.
If God is the head of the Judeo Christian Church, I'm pretty sure his arch nemesis Satan is steering Islam.

I think a "reformation" of Islam rejecting all teachings and additions by all clerics and judges to Islam for the past 700 years or so would be a great start. Then they could examine the text and consider portions about conquest and abuse of women to be "negated" by other portions on love and humility, and the portions on how to run a country to be "civil" law only applicable to Muhammad's rulership of Arabia.
That would free the religion to a basic set of moral codes and behavioral procedures lacking the crazy and awful stuff. The problem is, that also eliminates all the cultural Arabic stuff that attracts them so greatly.

White Germans are encumbered by collective guilt over WWII, particularly the Holocaust, so generally feel obliged to bow and scrape to ethnic minorities.

The only way to avoid it is to make sure that Muslims remain a tiny
minority in the population. Once they gain a foothold, the progression
is inexorable.
Nice analysis, but it misses an even larger point. Societies that lose faith in themselves, especially those in which the "elites" use condemnation of all of its societies' values as a salve for self-loathing, are not long for this world. If it isn't Muslims that take over, it will be Hitler, or a refusal to propagate, or something. The void will be filled.

Christopher @ 42 - Yes, Islam "calls for caring for the needy, opposes things like murder and theft, and directs its people to be law abiding." However, the charity, not murdering, and not stealing is restricted to other Muslims. Us muffins,not so much. And you might want to ask which laws they will abide.

I find myself withdrawing more and more from social discourse. All my conservative and libertarian friends live out of state.
We have ISIS literally raping and enslaving and murdering people in ways that would have made Hitler giddy, but TRUMP is the Nazi?
I have spent the last eight years arguing logic and facts with people. In the end, no one wanted to hear it. And I don't have the energy anymore to point out all their Obama-loving hypocrisy. I would have no time left to do anything else.
So I'm done with them. They'll get polite greetings from me on occasion, but that's it. I think I need to get more active in our local gun clubs

He was at a battle site and a young German said "All that fighting, and what did it accomplish?". Well, possibly your very existence, but definitely your being able to live in a democracy (if you can keep it).

Not necessarily Islam, but Arab social mores are not consistent with pluralistic Western society.
Then again, liberalism is not consistent with pluralistic Western society. It imposes a similar level of social control.
The quality of Western culture was called "polyarchy." It depicts a society where there is rule of law, a core individualism, and the ability to choose one's political leaders.

I consider myself a conservative on national security but I have wondered for years about the roles that France, Germany, Belgium and Holland might play in the future of NATO.
And it makes me wonder whether NATO is in fact "obsolete" or even possibly moribund, especially if it should continue its eastern expansion.
Is anyone really confident that German and French governments and young men would be willing to fight and die for the Ukraine when they won't protect their own citizens from "refugees?"
In fact, can we count on our NATO allies to protect Estonia from Russian aggression?
Europe and NATO don't seem to be willing to defend and preserve their way of life. How much more so in 10 years?
Don't get me wrong. I am not a big Trump supporter but he may have some valid points about Europe's commitment to NATO, and protecting western civilization and our way of life.

This, I believe, is tangentially related and I hope you'll indulge me...
Why is the left doing what it is doing, protesting, violently protesting, plotting and carrying out attacks on anyone not left, embracing abhorrent ideals, promoting death and making death threats, rioting; the list could obviously go on a long time?
They are doing this, I believe because they believe that they are 'the good guys', and this idea has been for a very long time now, reinforced by primary and secondary education, academia, the media, Hollywood, leftist elites, Dem politicians, and Republican politicians. Republican politicians because of their lack of commitment to their own ideals which, quite frankly, have been damned hard to identify in recent years - since Reagan, at least.
Worse than their belief that they are 'the good guys,' is their belief that, because they are 'the good guys,' is that everyone else - everybody who isn't a 'good guy,' is not only 'a bad guy,' but is also a fascist and therefore worthy of whatever fascist treatment 'the good guys' decide to mete out on them. AND... they have come to believe, naturally because they HAVE gotten away with it for so long, the they should able to get away with whatever conspiratorial and actual criminal, violent and riotous acts they decide to engage in.
Law enforcement in many areas of this country has been ordered to reinforce this belief and in some cases, at the very highest levels, has actually encouraged this behavior.
Instead of protecting ALL citizens, our 'leaders' have decided to protect certain citizens at the expense of all others.
This, by definition, is anarchy.
That we are "a nation of laws" is ludicrous, at this point.
Fascism, by whatever title one chooses to hang on it, is a leftist ideal. The label 'fascist' thrown at the right by the left, follows an Alinskyite rule of "pick the target, freeze it, and polarize it. "Isolate your enemy from sympathy," it says.
That Soros is backing this movement to the hilt is, or should be, no great surprise. He is trying to do what the adage says is impossible: He is trying to go home, to the "happiest time of his life," a time of national socialism - Nazism - fascism.
These people, though straining to see us as facists while identifying themselves as the entitled, enabled and by their virtue, guiltless 'good guys,' are doing exactly what every good Nazi would have done during Soros' glory days.
Until they are held accountable for their criminal acts - and this means Madonna and every other brown shirt on the left - this will continue to be this country's lot.

Jews being turned away from the USA by immigration limits was ghastly because they were specifically being hunted down, tortured, and murdered for being Jews.
Turning Muslims away because of their murderous tendencies when they are (allegedly) fleeing a war of their own doing against each other irrespective of their race and religion is a completely different thing.
Only an incomprehensibly vast asshole would conflate the two.

White Germans are encumbered by collective guilt over WWII, particularly
the Holocaust, so generally feel obliged to bow and scrape to ethnic
minorities.
(Of course, this infects all Western nations today, but may be most pronounced in Germany.)
================
That's the velvet glove that obscures Germany's vision of the EU. The EU, of course is Germany 80% and France 20%. Germany's predominant role requires a muted foreign policy that's focused on manufacturing exports world-wide (including some of the most repulsive regimes in the world), and not scaring the sh*t out of the smaller EU partners with belligerent rhetoric and with a big and expansive military force structure.

You're right, it is directed only to fellow Muslims or those under Muslim rule (to a lesser extent). However it wouldn't take much for that to be shifted to mean "everyone" in a proper reformation of the religion. The elements are there to make a constructive faith that could add to the world rather than be a destructive force.
That was my point, not some effort at "virtue" as you put it.

42 There are elements of Islam that actually are compatable with western society. It calls for caring for the needy, opposes things like murder and theft, and directs its people to be law abiding. Islam is at its core another works-based religion where you are judged at the end of time for your balance of good vs evil (sort of like Zoroastrianism) so the central concept could be interpreted and turned into a valuable and useful addition to the world.
The problem is that there are also elements of conquest, mistreatment of women, and slavery which are never opposed or explained and to make matters worse, nearly a thousand years of continual additions to the religion by scumbags and lunatics have made the religion a complete mess.

I have known and worked with Muslims for almost 40 years as my area was one of the first in the US to see large numbers of them , and there is a lot of truth to that internet "percentage" meme that makes the rounds.
In the beginning (late '70's), they were all pretty swell guys. I knew a couple who went to bars. The women didn't wear hijabs and a number of Muslim kids attended Catholic school. One or two actually converted later.
Then, as more and more of them came, the pressure was on for women to wear the scarves and whatever, they got their own schools and they became very pushy. Trust me, you don't want to be on the road with them on Fridays around noon.....
That said, the Muslims in the US aren't herded into ghettos like in Europe. They are allowed to work and many of them are doing VERY well.
But that becomes a problem because as large numbers of them enroll in American colleges, they are exposed to leftism and quickly pick up on the tactics and language of the perpetually offended of the victim culture. They get politicized and radicalized and become the pets of the campus leftist establishment...
This ain't good.
In the beginning (late '70's), they were all pretty swell guys. I knew a couple who went to bars. The women didn't wear hijabs and a number of Muslim kids attended Catholic school. One or two actually converted later.
Then, as more and more of them came, the pressure was on for women to wear the scarves and whatever, they got their own schools and they became very pushy. Trust me, you don't want to be on the road with them on Fridays around noon.....
That said, the Muslims in the US aren't herded into ghettos like in Europe. They are allowed to work and many of them are doing VERY well.
But that becomes a problem because as large numbers of them enroll in American colleges, they are exposed to leftism and quickly pick up on the tactics and language of the perpetually offended of the victim culture. They get politicized and radicalized and become the pets of the campus leftist establishment...
This ain't good.

And those later parts of the koran supersede all the peaceful, caring surah. The ones who quote the peaceful surah as proof that islam is peaceful are being intentionally deceitful.
Exactly, they need to reject that and go back to the first bits -- and as people have pointed out, extend that to everyone, not just their fellow believers. The first parts of the Koran do not specify "but only to other Muslims" because at that point, there were no fellow Muslims, just potential converts. That was added later, and we get back to the crap added that needs to be dropped.

You're right, it is directed only to fellow Muslims or those under Muslim rule (to a lesser extent). However it wouldn't take much for that to be shifted to mean "everyone" in a proper reformation of the religion. The elements are there to make a constructive faith that could add to the world rather than be a destructive force.

That's a load of bullshit. islam is built on the foundation of raiding and conquering everyone and everything. It is the formalization of desert arab culture. It's plagiarized (and perverted) holy books specifically lay out the "evil" nature of Jews and Christians (since mo stole from the Torah and New Testament, changed the stories to suit his purposes, and then called the Jews and Christians liars for the original writings being different from mo's stolen deformations of them. There is no "reformation" of such a ridiculously belligerent and aggressive political ideology - which is really all islam is.
islam is irreformable. It is what it is and that is a nasty, belligerent, aggressive, violent political ideology of theft, murder and the total subjugation (submission) of all. WIthout that ... it just isn't islam in any way, shape, or form.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean that it would take little cultural effort, only that intellectually speaking it is a pretty simple thing to shift meaning and text slightly to a proper end. Getting Muslims to go along with that would take an act of God.
You're absolutely right, most of the Koran is just codifying Arabic culture into a religion and civil system, part of why it was so instantly popular in the region.

The percentage of willing Dhimmis of a country plays a large roll as well.
For example, we have about 1-2% Muslim population here. But the willing Dhimmis are 30% or more. So that would push the Muslim population above 5% and close to the 10% Mark that you speak of. Hence, the open Sharia and violence towards others.

Also, reformation gets tossed around really loosely. The Protestant Reformation didn't secularize or liberalize Christian teachings -- it was a return to a much more fundamental (in a sense, "extremist") interpretation of scripture.
Going to a more literal interpretation of the Koran would be counterproductive.

Are Western Pluralistic Societies Incompatible With Islam?

There is a certain incoherence in the assumptions behind that question, and it isn't caused by the word "Islam".
pluralism
3. (social sciences) A social system that permits smaller groups within a society to maintain their individual cultural identities.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pluralism
It's the old "melting pot" vs "mixed salad" debate. It's the idea that expecting assimilation from an immigrant is a hate crime.
It's an inherently Progressive ideology, and like most of Progressivism, it's incompatible with Western culture.
If you want to maintain your culture, stay in your own damn country. If you want to be American, well, maybe we'll have a place for you.
As to Islam, Americans have traditionally had more flexibility in the religion arena as opposed to other facets of our culture. Speak English; obey our laws. But, it is perfectly acceptable to practice your own religion as long as that doesn't mean marrying a 12 year old bride or strapping a bomb to your chest.

Folks I'm not trying to argue Islam is a very fine thing. If I meant that I WOULD HAVE SAID THAT. Please read what is said without presuming and adding to it in your head.
All I was doing was examining a way by which Islam could be, with a few changes, be turned into something that would be compatible with western culture.
Remember, as it was formed in 1500, Christianity at large was not compatible with modern western culture and it without question absolutely stated that the faith it believed then was the word of God without possibility of change.
Now again, because apparently the obvious has to be stated overtly, I am not arguing Christianity and Islam are equivalent. Islam is a satanic and evil faith that is destructive and horrific. Did you all read that? Is the English plain enough? Need I repeat myself?
I'm simply pointing out that simply because a religion is at present incompatible with western culture and stated to be the word of God, does not mean it is incapable of ever changing at any point in human history, and I suggested a way it could change.

Now again, because apparently the obvious has to be stated overtly, I am not arguing Christianity and Islam are equivalent. Islam is a satanic and evil faith that is destructive and horrific. Did you all read that? Is the English plain enough? Need I repeat myself?
I'm simply pointing out that simply because a religion is at present incompatible with western culture and stated to be the word of God, does not mean it is incapable of ever changing at any point in human history, and I suggested a way it could change.

That's the point. But he was painted by the government and MSM as a Christian who abused children and married young kids, which he did.
Islam is this times a million and is practiced in dozens of enclaves across America, which are considered no go zones since the W administration. Thus should be in prison or sent. Back to their native countries.

Oh, because I'm a terrible troll, I should leave this here:
http://tinyurl.com/gvee75x
David J Wasserstein almost five years ago asked "So, what did the Muslims do for the Jews?" He answers "Islam saved Jewry."
Dhimmitude wasn't all that bad, he says:
The result of the conquests was, by and large, to make the Jews second-class citizens. This should not be misunderstood: to be a second-class citizen was a far better thing to be than not to be a citizen at all.
It was pretty darn awesome in practice:
The societies of Islam were, in effect, open societies. In religious terms, too, Jews enjoyed virtually full freedom. They might not build many new synagogues - in theory - and they might not make too public their profession of their faith, but there was no really significant restriction on the practice of their religion.
At least, as long as Muslims were in the minority, he admits.
There's also the assumption that Judaism depends upon a strong non-Jewish state to survive. Creating a sovereign Jewish state (or whatever you want to call the Khazaristan and/or the Yemenite "Rahman" states) doesn't enter his mind. If Wasserstein is observant (I suspect he isn't) then his argument claims that Islam is G*d's sword on the Jews' behalf.

You seem to miss one of the main points:
Christianity, coming out of Judaism, was an individualistic religion from the very start (as Judaism was the first individualistic creed in a world of nothing but tribalism). Judaism and Christianity both raised the individual to sacred status - each individual person is made in G-d's image - and addressed individual responsibilities and actions.
islam, on the other hand, is a firmly and irretrievably tribal ideology. The individual has no place in islam, other than his use as a weapon of the ideology (a literal weapon!). You cannot just wave your hands and have a tribal ideology change to an individualistic one with a few changing interpretations. It just doesn't work that way.
The West is individualistic and any ideology that is opposed to individualism will not ever find common ground with the West. islam is in that camp ... but it's nasty and violent, on top of it all.
There is no reformation of islam possible that will bring it into line, or compatible in any wya, with any individualistic society. This is fundamental.

About Christian refugees from Syria.
This is beyond fake news. It's a lie that I've seen several times in the last few days on MSM. Here's one example:
WaPo gives Trump Two Pinochios for saying that it is "very tough" for Syrian Christians to become refugees in the United States, and that they have been "horribly treated," even though WaPo admits "that a relatively small percentage of Syrian refugees have been admitted," even giving the 2016 figures which show 89 Christians out of 15,134 Syrian refugees, the rest Muslims.
WaPo sell this whopper by saying that it's not true for refugees from Iran, even though Trump's statement is expressly about Syria.
WaPo digs an even deeper hole by saying that "no one understands why there is such a disparity," when it's common knowledge that we've outsourced our refugee process to the UN and Christians (and Yazidis) don't go into the UN camps in Syria because the Muslims there will kill them when they sleep.

David J Wasserstein almost five years ago asked "So, what did the Muslims do for the Jews?" He answers "Islam saved Jewry."
***
By the time Islam conquered the Levant, Jews had been living under other religions for hundreds of years already. In fact, they had been living under Christian Byzantium for about 300 years. They were still there and not in need of "saving".
Looking at the modern world though, the Jewish communities throughout the now Muslim world are pretty much all gone.

At this point... who knows? Almost all we know about the guy was from
Janet Reno's office and the legacy media. Their track record was not
exactly great.
---
Agreed.
I recall there was video that showed up in every broadcast during the siege of him teaching *something*, but I don't recall the dialogue from that.
I do recall it being frequently mentioned that he claimed to be Christ returned, I just don't remember if I ever heard him say that in that video.
Or I could be conflating that situation with the guy from Korea, but it's been so long, I'm just not sure.

What is the reason we are now back to knuckling under to liberals and crying for folks detained at the airport?

The individual has no place in islam, other than his use as a weapon of the ideology
In one sense, yes, but at its core Islam is the observation of five very basic acts:
Charity to fellow Muslims
Trip to Mecca at least once
Pray 5 times a day toward Mecca
Declare Allah to be the only god and Muhammad his prophet
Fast on Ramadan
So in another sense it is very individual. Those literally are all you have to do to be a Muslim and make it to paradise (eventually). Death in jihad is merely an express train to paradise -- everyone goes to hell, but the faithful only a short time to pay for their sins in life, then they go to paradise.
Keep in mind that Roman Catholicism was an all-encompassing system of government, art, education, science, philosophy, etc until the Reformation as well.
But the tribal Arabic aspects of Islam are probably the greatest barrier to any sort of beneficial change to the religion, I agree.

Posted by: Hairyback Guy
The ideologies are all irreformable. But the fascist/totalitarian phases you listed all lasted a relatively short time (the longest, USSR lasted 70 years). Those countries were basically experiencing an aberration.
Islam on the other hand has been that way for millennia. I'm not sure that all of those societies can be rebuilt the way Germany and Japan were. I think the best course for them is quarantine. Although for converts, dissidents, people who are properly vetted and will contribute positively, sure, I have nothing per se against immigration, although I would never say they have a *right* to emigrate.
But as for the hell holes and hotbeds of terrorism. Quarantine them and let them fester.

RickZ: The Torah is the literal word of G-d yet Reform and Conservative Judaism exist. I'm not drawing a moral equivalency between the two but for 5,000 years Judaism meant following the Torah to a T, which simply isn't done by a large percentage of Jews (including yours truly.)
Posted by: broseidon on even newer magic glowy rectangle at January 29, 2017 01:00 PM (+PEqr)
Judaism never advocated the takeover of the world. NEVER. In the Torah, the Jews were only given a small slice of land by G-d (as you know) and that was the only place that Jewish Law was ever to rule over. One, small, limited slice of land. No more than that. Ever. And even there the restrictions of Jewish Law almost exclusively applied only to Jews.
There was never any need for any reformation of a religion that didn't seek unlimited expansion and generally, though always open to converts, never sought them out (and even made it difficult for one to convert into the religion - a real chore, though always possible).
Many of the laws in the Torah were only abandoned because they no longer had any applications after the Temple(s) were destroyed.
Interpretations of what was written in the Torah was always a big Jewish thing, too - hence the Talmud - again, as I'm sure you're aware of.

Looking at the modern world though, the Jewish communities throughout the now Muslim world are pretty much all gone.
For a long time in the middle east, Jews were living among Muslims in nations like Iraq and especially Iran. until the late 20th century, Islam had become kind of a cultural thing, a nod to their tradition but not really followed all that rigorously behind the basics (5 pillars). Iran had a very large Jewish community, left over from the exile to Persia. Queen Esther was actually beloved by Iranian (Persian) culture. Until recently

Enrique Pena Nieto, the current president of Mexico, gave a short speech on Twitter, where he states that he doesn't like what Trump did, Mexico won't pay a penny towards the wall, and that the obligation for Mexico is to protect the rights of its citizens, both at home and abroad, and to make sure they are protected. Also, he stated that any negotiation with the US would assure that the rights and safety of citizens of his country are ensured.
A) Except for the comments about paying for the wall, this is what Trump was saying;
2) I am relieved and encouraged that the president of Mexico has finally come to this conclusion about the correct purpose of government and had finally shed the mantel of master and lord of the Mexican people as the head of its bureaucracy and become instead the first citizen of his country and champion for their rights;
III) I hope the presidents of Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, El Salvador Belize and Panama also find this to be self evident and address el presidente Enrique Pena Nieto over these same issues; and
3A) for some reason there is no English version, translation, or other element to help those who are not bilingual in Spanish or only speak one of the other languages of his transnational world. SAD

David J Wasserstein almost five years ago asked "So, what did the Muslims do for the Jews?" He answers "Islam saved Jewry."
Dhimmitude wasn't all that bad, he says:
The result of the conquests was, by and large, to make the Jews second-class citizens. This should not be misunderstood: to be a second-class citizen was a far better thing to be than not to be a citizen at all.
It was pretty darn awesome in practice:
The societies of Islam were, in effect, open societies. In religious terms, too, Jews enjoyed virtually full freedom. They might not build many new synagogues - in theory - and they might not make too public their profession of their faith, but there was no really significant restriction on the practice of their religion.
At least, as long as Muslims were in the minority, he admits.
There's also the assumption that Judaism depends upon a strong non-Jewish state to survive. Creating a sovereign Jewish state (or whatever you want to call the Khazaristan and/or the Yemenite "Rahman" states) doesn't enter his mind. If Wasserstein is observant (I suspect he isn't) then his argument claims that Islam is G*d's sword on the Jews' behalf.
Posted by: boulder terlit hobo at January 29, 2017 01:00 PM (6FqZa)
It's fair to talk about political Zionism using Global Governance, which Global Governance as the main instrument to be used is the definition that was founded on in 1896 (people that are so powerful and wealthy we could never comprehend) and the implications it had on the Jewish people, who were obviously less powerful and influencial, during the first half of the 20th century.
The same would hold true with the top officials in the Catholic Church recently coding up with Islam and the effects it has had on Christians world wide.
The point is there seems to be a disconnent based on class and caste between those in favor and the power brokers of Global Governance and the rest of the population.

For a long time in the middle east, Jews were living among Muslims in nations like Iraq and especially Iran. until the late 20th century, Islam had become kind of a cultural thing, a nod to their tradition but not really followed all that rigorously behind the basics (5 pillars). Iran had a very large Jewish community, left over from the exile to Persia. Queen Esther was actually beloved by Iranian (Persian) culture. Until recently

Jews were generally emptied out of the arab/persian world after the establishment of Israel and the War of Independence. 750,000 Jews left the arab world then (most forced out but many choosing to leave, too) and doubled the existing population in Israel of about 750,000 ashkenazi Jews.
At the turn of the 20th century, Baghdad had been a pretty happening place and was around 1/4 Jews. After 1948 I don't think there were more than a few hundred left. By the time we got to Iraq in the Gulf War there were only 8 or 9 Jewish families left in Baghdad ... something like that.

To be fair, The Armenian Genocide by the Young Turks was called a Holocaust until sometime after WWII ended. So when speaking to the world Armenians and others may still consider those 1.5 million killed as a Holocaust.

The problem is all the kindness, caring and ethical behavior is only extended to fellow Muslims. All others are fair game to commit any sort of atrocity against. In fact such acts are condoned.

After studying the Bible from the original languages of scripture for many years, with a pastor-teacher, I firmly believe that Islam was created by the fallen angel Lucifer, a riff off of Judaism and Christianity, in opposition.
It took him a few hundred years after the ascension of Jesus Christ. The Muslims trace their lineage back to Ishmael, the "red-headed stepchild" of the 1st Jew, Abraham. and you know how rough sibling rivalry can be.

David J Wasserstein almost five years ago asked "So, what did the Muslims do for the Jews?" He answers "Islam saved Jewry."
That's a pretty gross overstatement, but as lousy as life was under Islamic conquest, it was better than what the Christians did to Jews later.
Things have swapped of course, now Christians are the best friends Jews have and are their protectors, while Muslims are trying to slaughter them all but too many Jews haven't caught up with this fact yet.

TPOP - Sure, there's a definite strain of legalism in Jewish reform sects - not adhering to Kashrut, for example, because Kashrut laws are seen as more of a Talmudic abstraction than an absolute decree from G-d. I'm just saying that Judaism, a monotheistic religion with a book of laws that come straight from the creator, has been reformed, so you can't say that the Koran coming straight from Allah makes it unreformable. There may be numerous other reasons that reform of Islam would failike, though.

We have two muslims in our family. One female, one male. The female is completely Westernized from birth, is a natural-born citizen, and has never paid any attention to her religion. She sometimes attends Church and always celebrates all the Christian holidays with the family. She observes none of the muslim traditions or holidays. She's a MINO. It would never cross my mind to be concerned about her in any way.
The male is Westernized too, but there have been a couple of things in the last year that have given me pause. Very small minor things. I hope it goes no farther than that.

OK. Cute kitteh story coming right up.
I was sitting in a friend's living room. Her big moose of a chocolate lab was lying on the floor, slowly wagging his tail back and forth. One of her newly acquired itteh bitteh kittens was sitting behind the lab, batting his tail like it was the greatest cat toy ever (the other was sitting on my shoulder for no very good reason). As we're watching this, two things happened simultaneously. The kitten grabbed onto the lab's tail, and the lab decided to stand up. The two of us wound up laughing hysterically and wishing we had a video camera handy (this was before smart phones), while the lab wagged his tail like a happy dog, and the kitten wound up hanging on for dear life and swinging back and forth on the end of the lab's tail like a flag.
Here endeth the cute kitteh story.

270 Trump is so amazingly good at baiting the media and then switching the topic while they are chasing the shiny shit. I have been laughing my ass off about this all week. Loving this guy as President.

A question I have is where are all the weapons used by the muzzies coming from?
Remember those gigantic stacks of money IS stole from Iraq? Hundreds of millions of dollars. At least some of that wasn't used for drugs and partying.

Islam and its very close ties to Naziism. They are really quite compatible, replacing "aryan" with "Arabic."

The Brits were great at keeping weapons out of their colonies back in the day. We should seek to do the same across the muzzie world for our sake and theirs.

AK-47s are the iPods of the Islamic world.
Many (most?) Islamic countries were pawns in the Cold War. Nasser, in Egypt, was strongly supported by the commies. Then Sadat took over and had a rapprochement with Israel, The Camp David Accords. Sadat paid with his life at the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood for daring to do that.
Posted by: RickZ at January 29, 2017 01:35 PM (32Cwc)
Yup...the UAR and Egypt in particular made some fine AKs and Hakim and Rasheeds, etc. but outside of them and the Afghan/Paki junk dealers where are all those weapons and ammo coming from?
Gotta be a source or sources somewhere....

OK. Cute kitteh story coming right up.
I was sitting in a friend's living room. Her big moose of a chocolate lab was lying on the floor, slowly wagging his tail back and forth. One of her newly acquired itteh bitteh kittens was sitting behind the lab, batting his tail like it was the greatest cat toy ever (the other was sitting on my shoulder for no very good reason). As we're watching this, two things happened simultaneously. The kitten grabbed onto the lab's tail, and the lab decided to stand up. The two of us wound up laughing hysterically and wishing we had a video camera handy (this was before smart phones), while the lab wagged his tail like a happy dog, and the kitten wound up hanging on for dear life and swinging back and forth on the end of the lab's tail like a flag.
Here endeth the cute kitteh story.

Scott Ott was #nevertrump, but it seems like he is being pulled back into the fold.
He tells a story on Bill Whittle's channel. He has a progressive friend who got a news item alert on his phone in Jan 20th. He looks at the message, looks at Scott and says "Trump's speech was dark and dystopian. "
Scott had heard the speech prior, and probably knows these exact buzzwords being repeated by the media in a coordinated way before. Scott reads a portion of the speech, and asks him if it was dark. "No, but it's different when he said it."
So the speech is objectively not dark. Trump is dark. You signed up to get an item alert on your phone to tell you that Trump is dark. What is that?

But his post today is nonsense on stilts. All of the good and charitable aspects of Islam are directed to Muslims, not we kuffir in the Dar al Harb. So, no, I see no positive aspects to Islam and I consider those who make it equivalent to Christianity as virtue signaling.

I know I never saw Guiliani weep in a press conference.
Giuliani's tears are made up of pure justice and must be used only for good.
I wrestle with the whole refugee thing as a Christian.
We're also called to be good stewards with our resources and care for our families and people first. I do not think anyone can possibly condemn the USA for being like Israel was condemened by the minor prophets. We care for orphans, widows, and the destitute I believe better than anywhere on earth through private charity and national systems. We care for refugees through gigantic assistance and harboring those we can.
But there is a limit, and that limit is what becomes destructive not just to us, but to the refugees. And surely, the requirements of Christian virtue and charity extend to other nations than the USA and Europe.

You are a good person, gramme, and i appreciate you struggle with this. However, how many refugees did Obama let in-10,000?, 15,000?. We've already done our part and very few of those were Christians because Obama just didn't like Christians and favors Islam. I am sure you are very generous in helping ways-as you have mentioned Samaritans Purse before.

My sister wants them out of the camps and brought here now. She throws Scripture in my face and I feel like maybe my thinking is not right.

What do I do when they are knocking on our door? This is hard for me.
I don't know either. It's roughly the same situation as with panhandlers; the people fleeing Syria are a mix of those who really do need help and those who are cynically taking advantage of your good will.
Trying to help refugees over there seems like a decent compromise.

I don't mind some genuinely needy, clearly desperate refugees finding shelter in the USA temporarily during conflict. I don't mind some of them working their way through the system to become permanent citizens and residents of the USA, if they bring us positive benefit as a country.
But floods of people just settled in the USA permanently because their country is at war -- a war the USA materially contributed to starting and worsening under President Obama? That's another story entirely.

314 I wrestle with the whole refugee thing as a Christian. My instructions are to feed the poor, clothe the naked, visit the prisoner, care for the widow and the orphan. Look out for the strangers and aliens in the land, because I too am a stranger and an alien. It's a fine line. I'm trying to understand how best to do this. We do support a couple of organizations who do refugee work. But they do it in foreign countries where people are displaced. What do I do when they are knocking on our door? This is hard for me.
Posted by: grammie winger at January 29, 2017 01:46 PM (dFi94)
The 5 wealthiest countries in the ME take in exactly 0 refugees. The Muslim refugee problem is being used by Global Governance advocates to destroy the West. Forced population displacement is a international crime and a human rights violation, which is what is taking place in Europe, The USA, and Canada.
These Global Marxist:Athiests prey on the Christian guilt and Christian tenets, and are purposely using the "Muslim refugee crisis" as a Trojan horse to destroy the West.
As a Christian when countries are and continue to refuse to take in any of their own neighbors and instead ship them off. Foreign lands exploiting them to advance Jihad then no I don't feel any guilt what so ever about it. I feel guilt about the lack of Christians we are taking in who are being slaughtered in mass in the ME and North Africa. We took in 90 total last year from Syria compared to 15,000.

The goal being to take care of them till their own country is stable enough to return to, or until a neighboring country can be found for them. All the while feeding them and sharing the Gospel.
Well clearly, they're better off in their own culture, with their own people, in their own homes than being thrown across the ocean to an alien place and climate. The point is to harbor them until they can go home, not transplant them into the USA.

Bans and/or restrictions on immigration, to protect America, have been undertaken for decades. Trump's EO imposes a temporary ban on new refugees and asks that those with green cards stop at the border for review.
Your heart is kind and generous, but you are not required to sacrifice your own safety to a growing threat in order to prove your Christianity to anyone, even God.

There's a video I linked earlier entitled "Immigration World Poverty and Gumballs 2010 - Immigration Doesn't Work."
It's a fairly short video that explains why, no matter what we do, the numbers prove we cannot change world poverty.
However, that does not mean that an individual cannot help those in need in their community, or in their own parish.
We are an alien culture to many of the impoverished. It's probably not best to transplant anyone into a completely alien culture, even for their own good. Their life might improve, but they will not be happy.
Example: Germany, Sweden.
Finally, many of these people are not being properly screened and vetted. So we might be helping rapists and murderers. These people owe a debt to society, and by opening our doors, we are not helping them, we are enabling them to commit more atrocities, perhaps on our own families.

Also, our Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord of the Armies. and he doesn't fight on their side. I'm sure of this.

Yeah big crowds of people choking up airports is sure to not annoy weary, frustrated air travelers at all. You don't see Moonies very often but everyone was annoyed by their presence and there were only a couple at each airport.
They keep yelling "wolf" and eventually nobody is going to listen.

Being a generous and loving nation doesn't mean we have to be chumps. We need to tune up our programs so we can accept more people who really need it.

This could all be part of Trump's Chaos Theory of governance.
It could cut both ways though if people become exhausted and just want it all to stop.
Which is what happened during the Iraq War.
The difference is that Trump fights back and doesn't cede ground, initiative or the narrative.
So it's going to be fascinating to see this all play out.

gw, by supporting international organizations, you are doing all that you should. I don't think that if people feel a personal burden to help (real) refugees, that gives them the right to bring them into this country and a) burden everyone with all the problems associated with them b) give part of our national sovereignty away when the original issue was alms. Also bear in mind, a lot of these people are fakes: demanding wifi, 5 star cuisine, going on vacations back to the lands they are supposedly refugees from. Surely charity is a case of triage, and this group of people does not seem to be the most worthy of recipients. Don't let the left bluff and bully you with a lot of incorrect, unstated leaps of illogic.

My sister wants them out of the camps and brought here now. She throws Scripture in my face and I feel like maybe my thinking is not right.
....
My two cents as an agnostic that nevertheless thinks most Christian values have merit:
1. If I recall my bible reading correctly, the consistent idea was helping everyone in need... to follow a righteous path. Please correct me but my recollection of Christ taking in Mary Magdeline and others was because of their desire to change. Yes, help was unconditional on circumstances but at least somewhat conditional on future intent. If a homeless guy wants money to burn down my house, I don't grab my gas can and give him a lift to the gas station.
2. I don't recall anything in the Bible saying that charity is an obligation or duty of the State. Personally, the most minute suggestion otherwise pisses me off. "We need to help all the children! Give me your money and I will give it to the State to redistribute via 1,000 paid political suck ups." Charity is an individual decision. By all means, donate your money as you see fit. Invite whomever you want to into your home and provide for them as you like. That means YOU take responsibility for them, their well being, and their future actions. No one has any right to force me to shelter or support anyone. You can say I'm terrible for my choice, but it remains my choice. If you shelter and support someone who burns my house down and you bought them the gas and matches, I'm holding you equally accountable no matter how tragic their situation.

Supposedly the Trump administration is looking at changing how official unemployment numbers are listed, eyeing the U5 (includes people who would take work if they could find it but are not on the unemployment rolls) as the more accurate list. if you include "underemployed" people working part time, the U6 number its almost 10%.

I've got Rev telling me "We don't have to go to the mission field! It 's coming to us!"
Missionaries don't have the right to conscript people to go along with them to the mission field.
Likewise, no one has the right to "bring the mission field to 'us'". Because it's not just bringing it to those who personally feel burdened with this particular mission.
They will inflict the dangers, risks, and upkeep of these fake refugees on us all. And we lose part of our sovereignty to them when they vote.
An individual's *personal* burden for charity should be carried out in a way that doesn't violate the rights of his neighbors, that doesn't endanger or steal from them.

One more observation, that may be controversial. The Mt 25 parable of the sheep and the goats has the phrase, "as ye have done for the least of these my brethren, so have ye done for me". Now what does "brethren" mean there? Every individual of mankind without exception? I've heard several preachers (mainstream, not Westboro), say that based on NT usage, "brethren" refers only to fellow Christians, not everybody. Certainly, that's not the only verse on the topic, but it is frequently used in service of some sort of universal Christian duty, and probably has nothing to do with that. Muslims are not the Christians brethren, any more than Richard Dawkins.

The problem with your statement is that the 1A does not say that. The "Separation of church and state" traces back to a snippet from Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Baptist Association of Danbury, Ct. shortly after he became president.
It was repeated in a Supreme Court ruling in 1947 in Everson vs. Board of Education. This fallacy has remained with us ever since.

If your sister, or Pope Francis Bogusoglio, or any other Christian terrorist apologist is so concerned about the refugees - tell them to go quote scripture to Bolivian citizens, or Indonesians, or Kuwaitis, or Canadians. It's a big world out there, not limited to our borders.

ummm...in case the Rev hasn't noticed, there are homeless citizens who are camping out in the streets of our own cities. US citizen homeless. US veteran homeless. US mentally ill homeless.
Plenty of mission opportunity there.
Just sayin'.

Christianity is being used by mixing Liberation Theology in the 1960's into it giving birth to SJWs across the globe. It has zero to do with Christianity. It is 100% political and Marxist. The Pope and the Catholic Church as well as other denominations are exploiting this for political reasons. It is about Global Governance that is Marxist in nature.
Obama is seen by the Muslim world as being Muslim. In reality he is a Global Governance advocates and is Marxist.
Christianity and Islam are being used as pawns to advance Global Marxist Governance. Islam is already political in nature. Christianity has been perverted by Liberation Theology to self destruct. Both are being used to destroy the West.

I have a feeling Trump's State of the Union Address will be short on platitudes and long on being like a shareholders' meeting, ticking off facts and figures.
I would love for that to be his approach. And it makes sense: here's how the "business" is doing and what we must do to turn around the bad and encourage the good. Here's what needs doing, here's what we're doing, here's what is good and what has to go.

I think trying to keep refugees safe in camps in their homelands covers scripture obligations
Posted by: Deplorable Male Logic
I think these "refugees" are above the minimum level under which scriptural obligations fall.
"Gleaners" in Biblical times would starve to death if they were not allowed to glean. These people, rejecting the cuisine of their hosts and demanding internet access are several levels above that.
They may be *relatively* worse off than people in western lands, but on an *absolute* level, they seem to be doing ok, based on conditions in Biblical times.

I actually welcome it when some leftist tries to use the Bible or Christianity against me as a Christian. First, it helps humble me and forces me to recognize my sin and failure to glorify God. My actions should show Him, and be blameless to the world. I am no good at that. I lost my temper here and attacked a guy I have never even met, and I apologize for that Rick.
Second, they don't understand Christianity and don't know the Bible, so its a great chance to educate them and show them the truth, if in just a little bit.
Third, it forces topics to the forefront that they have spent most of their lives trying to suppress and get people to forget, and I always welcome that.
I don't need to win. I don't need to convince them. I just need to in love and humility defend the Truth. God will take care of the rest. In the end both their and my knee will bow and both their and my lips will confess Jesus Christ is LORD.

Just found out about the AMC return of MASH; yay!!
Thirty (or more precisely, 23ish) of the best moments in television history: "Officer of the Day":
Frank (referring to the OD paraphernalia): "There's even a sash and sword that goes with it!"
Hawkeye: "That's in case we're attacked by the Saracens."
I know women especially are mourning the death of MTM, because of what Mary Richards meant to them.
Me? I'll fall apart when Alda goes. Early Hawkeye (1-5) was who I aspired to be when I was a kid.
Never became a Dr., but I nailed the smartassery.

I think a "reformation" of Islam rejecting all teachings and additions by all clerics and judges to Islam for the past 700 years or so would be a great start.
Leaving us with the Koran and Hadith and various commentaries, which all still agree on the holiness of murder and theft and the filth of non-Muslims.
Then they could examine the text and consider portions about conquest and abuse of women to be "negated" by other portions on love and humility
Except the peace-love-and-understanding BS was said before the conquest stuff, and Mohammed specifically said they're to follow the last thing he said.
and the portions on how to run a country to be "civil" law only applicable to Muhammad's rulership of Arabia.
Except Mohammed said they were to conquer the world.
What you're saying is, "Islam would be OK, if it weren't Islam". Which no one would argue with, but we may as well wish we were all back in our 20ish bodies with all the knowledge we have now and fantastically rich to boot.
Your fantasies aren't possible, and the rest of us have to live in the real world. That real world features a murderous, conquering Islam.

I'm going to take the political side of my earlier argument.
I think the immigration system in the U.S. is a giant clusterfuck and support getting rid of every bit of it in it's entirety. If you want to come here... come on. The door is open. With one big exception: You want to come here because you think doing so offers you the freedom to pursue a better life. No guarantees. No handouts. No outcomes. You make your own way and you understand that you're leaving behind wherever and whatever you came from in preference for this option. It doesn't mean that this option is perfect. It's not. You choose what is best for you but you do not get to choose what is best for me. I am under no obligation to accommodate or integrate with the stuff you chose to leave behind.
Example: I love Mexico. I spent several months in Central/ Southern Mexico and got to know the people and culture a bit. It's a beautiful place. They have a sense of family that the US has lost, a work ethic that no longer exists here, and several other values and attributes that I think are far better than what I've seen living and working in over 38 US states.
The downside that I can't comprehend is that they have surrendered their short and long term well being to the State. They allow their potential to be determined and limited by what the State allows. Alas, a country that is absolutely stunning and has equal or more resources of every sort compared to any country in the world suffers and struggles when, with just by virtue of work ethic alone, they should be the riches nation on earth. They keep looking for "someone" to "lead" them and the most enterprising people I've ever met are relegated to poverty and dependency. They sacrificed freedom for security and got neither.
We're not doing much better here. We forgot that, even with the best intentions, the State can only limit potential. We've forgotten everything that allowed this country to go from a destitute upstart to the wealth and freedom provider of the world in a generation and grow faster and farther than an civiliazation in human history from there.
Back to my point: everyone is welcome who is willing to accept both the consequences and benefits of freedom and wants a different way of life than what they're leaving behind. If you want to wax poetic and vie for the better days of wherever you came from or how much better somewhere else is... go live there.

You're right, it is directed only to fellow Muslims or those under Muslim rule (to a lesser extent). However it wouldn't take much for that to be shifted to mean "everyone" in a proper reformation of the religion.
More fantasy. Your "not take much" means rewriting the Koran, and eliminating all the copies of it as it is.
Not. Gonna. Happen.
Stop looking for diamonds in the cesspit.

I'm on this thread late and don't know if any #FAKENEWS has been discussed.
My FAKENEWS item for Jan 29, 2017 comes from NPR. They were on a tear this morning. Don't know the show, however it was a breakdown of the Trump White House relations with the press.
First the female narrator delivered a recital of some Trump tweets - in a mocking voice and intonation. Then she and her male counterpart went into a litany of Trump's "spectacular lies", including that of the crowd size. Oblivious to the fact that CNN published a picture of the crowd that confirms what Trump had said about the "sea of love".
They quoted a Commie shill professor who declared that voter fraud is "insignificant". Then alked about the "Fog of Confusion" that Trump White House is creating. One of the alleged lies they attributed to Trump was his statement that his CIA speech was a home run.
"AHAHAHA, nay nay", scoffed the NPR toadies. It was NOT a home run. Why it was savaged by EVERY PUNDIT the next day."

476 Counseling, plush toys, and coloring books need to be made available, on a rush basis, to Michael Medved. It's the compassionate thing to do, in a non-denominational, even secular, sense.

I am just tired of a-holes who know nothing about the sacrifices I've made, the faith journey I've walked...using my religion to club me over the head in order to enable a Communist Globalist Agenda.

The original point of Islam was to unite the various Arabic warlords so they would stop fighting each other, and Muhammed could then use them to fight his enemies - who were Jewish and pagan Arabs.
He promised his followers they would conquery Rum (Rome), which at the time meant Constantinople. Today the Muslims say the same thing, but they mean Rome and London and New York and Chicago and Los Angeles and Sydney and Tokyo and...

It doesn't really matter what any of us think about refugees or migrants or the so-called muslim ban. It doesn't matter what any of our lefty friends & relatives think about it. We can't do anything to change - or structurally support - national policy. It doesn't matter if you think everyone should come live in America, or we should lock the door & throw away the key - no of us can set policy. It's all just sound & fury, signifying nothing. Love those around you as much as you can, pray for those in need, and look at yourself to see what you need to change to be a better servant of God.

David J Wasserstein almost five years ago asked "So, what did the Muslims do for the Jews?" He answers "Islam saved Jewry."
The Byzantine-era Copts thought the same thing. Some of them idiotically welcomed the Muslim conquest as a way to get out from under the thumb of Constantinople -- Constantinople and Alexandria frequently having doctrinal disputes, plus more than a little political ambition.
Do you think the modern Copts think their ancestors made a good bargain?

That's a pretty gross overstatement, but as lousy as life was under Islamic conquest, it was better than what the Christians did to Jews later.
Uh-huh. That's why there are a few dozen Jews still alive in Arab countries today.

The executive, astonishingly enough, may its most serious occupant in a generation, or generations (an idiosyncratic real estate tycoon).
But the elected GOP is still dominated by the small, talentless, irresponsible sub-mediocrities who were an integral part of what got the country to where it is at the moment.

Bleeding hearts come in all types, including Evangelicals I guess.
Why have a criminal justice system, after all, shouldn't we forgive the murders and rapists?
The idea that Christianity obligates up to take in the whole world, many of which are commanded by their religion to slaughter us, is complete lunacy.

>>> I'm sorry, no. We don't need any immigration. Not a bit. I would put a complete hiatus on it for the next 40 years while we digest the many millions we have already legally taken in.
.....
I find it hard to disagree and, generally, I'm with you.
Where i differ is that I view the problem as our abandonment of the principles and ideals that made us great.
For sake of argument: we slam the doors and no one comes in. Ok. I can support that for a variety of reasons. What are we left with?
What is see is several generations of worthless imbeciles who should have gone to a vocational school or worked their way up while getting paid to learn a trade demanding $100k starting salaries while producing nothing but "workplace fairness" demands and liabilities. Fuck them.
I do not believe in "American Jobs" any more than I believe in government dictating wage rates or how a workplace functions. If you're unwilling to work for the value of the job, you're welcome to go accept the real minimum wage of zero. You have that freedom. Th job still needs to be done and your latte sipping, SJW marching ass isn't going to pay 10x as much for me to hire your classmates.
I fully support securing borders, building walls, and launching every person in violation of any US law over the nearest border with a catapult, even if said border is with an ocean. If you're not willing to live and work here under American law and customs, I fully support your shortest, cheapest and fastest way out. Where I differ is that the same condition applies to people born here but I have to support and seek to vilify, imprison, and/ or bankrupt me. By all means, take your double major masters degree in poly sic and wimmenz studies over to Afghanistan and go on your crusade for Muslim rights and gay freedoms. Let me know how that works out for you.

josephistan talk radio is mere infotainment at best, and consumed intermittently, and almost entirely just to see what the meme du jour is. Never listened to Medved much, but even short exposures sufficed to illustrate his ignorance and almost amusingly fierce moral narcissism about illegal migration. He's at the level of the more loathsome Dem elected race-baiters, or some religious figures.

The report gave passing mention to the fact that Trump White House is much more welcoming to the press, contrary to Obama, whose staff used to shoo them out of the East Room. I thought: wow, an actual tidbit of truthiness there.
But the way they framed it is that Trump is doing this simply to create Political Theater to keep all the world, except those sharp and insightful NPR dweebs - in the Fog of Confusion.

The "press" has become incredibly, measurable *worse* than it was just 10 years ago - when it was already so bad we had a country in hysterics over a broken levy in New Orleans and a very small, historically easy war that was essentially over.
Just glancing at some wire service stories (these are the lifeblood and basic raw material of almost all "news"), I am gobsmacked at the errors and distortion (and I was directly involved in preventing/rebutting this sort of stuff for years).
From AZ, an AP story begins "To build his highly touted deportation force".
WTFF? What the hell are they talking about? There never was, never will be, a "deportation force". Deportation is merely one component of enforcement of immigration law (in all countries, at all times), one which has gone on un-interrupted for decades.
As with today's insane panic over a very limited and temporary adjustment in admissions practices, all "reporting" on this reflects complete ignorance of reality and history - and depends on same from the audience.
Old news, I know. But to those who have been involved and observing for decades, it really seems like things have gone over a new cliff, to mangle a metaphor.

Bleeding hearts come in all types, including Evangelicals I guess.

I don't think my heart bleeds, but I do take seriously the commands of Jesus, and wrestle with what that means for my life. If you're seeing a link to a leftist agenda, I think you are mistaken. I'm speaking of a personal, practical action I can take myself. I am not talking about a national tax-payer supported program that makes it compulsory for all citizens.

SPECIFICALLY dyothelete Christianity, like Nestorianism and Catholicism, has been good at defining a Church that can advise and admonish the king, like Nathan advised and admonished David.
Byzantine Christianity had more of a problem here, so tended to despotism.

So basically since 1900 we have a wealthy Global Class seeking Global Governance as a end game. They are Marxist-Athiests but claim the banner of their "religion" to advance political and financial ends giving zero fucks about the loss of life across the globe.
This is not about Chistianity, Islam, or Judaism. It's about Marxism, whose end game is total control, seizing property including human capital, and being on top when the transfer of power and wealth is complete.

Sadly I think navybrat is right for the foreseeable future. Wahhabism/other extremist branches *are* the reformation - they squeezed out the mystical branches like Sufism and other moderate sects. The classical Muslim world produced Al Ghazali, Avicenna, Averroes...the modern Muslim world puts fatwas on their few remaining intellectuals.
The head choppers have indeed won.

Legacy media played around the edges of creating the Narrative that bullied GOPes into submission during the "W" years. But when Obama got elected, the Propaganda Machine was unleashed and used to its fullest effect. They will continue. However they're missing a huge piece of the puzzle: more and more Americans are getting their news from alt media.
The NPR report I'm describing also mocked the fact that Trump was allowing alt media types into the press conferences. HEY LEGACY: 2008 called, it wants its information highway back.

205 The individual has no place in islam, other than his use as a weapon of the ideology
In one sense, yes, but at its core Islam is the observation of five very basic acts:
Charity to fellow Muslims
Trip to Mecca at least once
Pray 5 times a day toward Mecca
Declare Allah to be the only god and Muhammad his prophet
Fast on Ramadan
So in another sense it is very individual. Those literally are all you have to do to be a Muslim and make it to paradise (eventually). Death in jihad is merely an express train to paradise -- everyone goes to hell, but the faithful only a short time to pay for their sins in life, then they go to paradise.
Keep in mind that Roman Catholicism was an all-encompassing system of government, art, education, science, philosophy, etc until the Reformation as well.
But the tribal Arabic aspects of Islam are probably the greatest barrier to any sort of beneficial change to the religion, I agree.

Responding to an old post that has probably already been addressed, but the first pillar "Charity to fellow Muslims" is pure tribalism, and not individualistic at all. I'm not an expert on Islam by a long shot, but does the Koran have anything like "Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you" or the parable of the good Samaritan, or any of the many admonitions to put others, regardless of their faith, before oneself?

I don't want to sound like an eyore or a phony concern troll, but I have a feeling this "Muslim ban"--even though it's really neither--isn't going to end well--for us.
The media and the left and the lawyers and the GOPe squishes have all sunk their teeth into this thing and I don't see how they can let go without Trump capitulating and reversing. And that would be bad because it would be portrayed as a Trump loss.
But if Trump sticks to his guns and doesn't rescind, repeal or reverse, I can see the protests growing larger and larger until the the "middle'-- that is the people who elected Trump-- say 'enough. Let them stay."
That would be worse. Because it would be a loss AND it would show that Trump could go to far even for his own base.
Beyond that, this is a mess. The reporting, the moral posturing, the phony righteous indignation , the virtue-signaling ---and the hypocrisy because no one mentions Obama pulled a similar thing in 2011--is stomach turning.

JoeF., no. Even you don't seem to understand what you're saying.
Which is, the plenary power of the president to implement immigration and admissions policy, as based on existing law, is void.
If a tiny, temporary and unobjectionable change to admissions policy for countries representing a negligible case-load of the total is politically impossible, then Trump should just resign now.
As noted by others, for good reasons this policy is not unpopular.
One thing that would be nice - as in ALL confrontations of this sort - is for the administration to not just stay the course and make small marginal statements. They need to attack with 100 megatons, common sense, facts, and law. Snarking about press distortion is not 10% of what's needed (nor has been, for years).
If Trump backs down one micron on this, he's finished.

If a tiny, temporary and unobjectionable change to admissions policy for countries representing a negligible case-load of the total is politically impossible, then Trump should just resign now.
As noted by others, for good reasons this policy is not unpopular.
One thing that would be nice - as in ALL confrontations of this sort - is for the administration to not just stay the course and make small marginal statements. They need to attack with 100 megatons, common sense, facts, and law. Snarking about press distortion is not 10% of what's needed (nor has been, for years).

Shortly after 911 happened I studied Islam, read the Koran, the Hadiths, the Suras, etc.
A very good on line translation can be found at U of Virginia web site.
Jefferson studied it too, for the same reason I did.
We wanted to find out what motivates these people who think that you can murder, rape, subjugate and pirate your way in to heaven.
I suggest everyone do the same. I takes about a month or so.
You will discover the most horrific things, such as, lying to the infidel is not only permitted, but encouraged.
Which is why you really can't believe the first word out of the their mouths. Why any fool would enter in to a treaty with them is beyond comprehension.
Many other equally disgusting practices are revealed in every chapter and verse.

How will the squishy middle see it?
How will the moderate Republicans who stayed home in 2016 because Trump was uncouth?

yeah, Luther and all the Christian reformation guys, reformed to the teachings of the Bible. There is a day when Christ returns "in power", judgment, white horses, etc. ("Day of the Lord" is then, "Man's Day" is now, free will choice to choose Christianity)
But till then Jesus distinctly stated "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's". JC really did "come in peace", and choosing Christianity is free choice. He overturned the money changer tables but that was at the temple. He did not overthrow nations, though the devil offered him such power.
But to "reform" to the fundamentals of "the book" in Islam is to go to the conversion by the sword, abuse of the infidels, child brides and the whole bit. They accept no law above Sharia. To "reform" to the Western culture would mean defying their own writings. Their kingdom is on earth, over the nations.
Some have tried to claim otherwise, but they have a lot of history to ignore. Even Islamic nations we get along with are hardly compatible with Western thoughts on equal rights and liberty.

"A tree is known by its fruit. For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit." All belief systems should be evaluated at face value--Christian, Judaism, Islam, Atheism, Conservatism, Marxism, etc. What do they advocate? What do their belief systems create? Peace and harmony or strife and discord? Jews make up less than 1% of the world's population, but make up 22% of Nobel Prize Winners, as well as 38% of US National Medal of Science medals, and are estimated to have saved the lives of 2.8 billion people via lifesaving medical and scientific advances. But what of Islam and its more than one billion adherents? As of 2015, only 12 have received Nobel prizes. Of the 25 wars going on around the world, 21 involve Muslim countries, or 80% of the armed conflicts. Any Muslim who advocates for Sharia should not be allowed in the US. Any Muslim who will not renounce key elements of the Quran and Hadith (death for apostasy, child marriage, etc.), should not be allowed in the US. This should be obvious.

I think religions have a "gravitational pull" that asserts itself over time, despite occasional hiccups in other directions.
So for instance, we had the aberration of slavery in the 19th century, but it is not really compatible with Christianity (ex. Philemon, 1 Ti 1:10), and because of that, it troubled enough consciences so that it was eventually done away with.
Likewise in the 20th century, various ME countries became "secularized" for a time, but the true nature of Islam asserted its pull over people's minds, and dragged them back to what we see now. Those who are not actual terrorists probably feel too guilty before the "pious" terrorists to assert themselves and put an end to them themselves.

Love the side bar item but one criticism: Twitter is NOT news.
***
If you bother to click the links of the media tweets, you'll get the actual articles. And, in absence of an article, yes, a tweet from CNN, or FNC, or NYT is news.

CNN informs me that there are massive protests against keeping terrorists out
They don't look massive from the footage,its almost all in tight shots which means maybe not so big.

F*ck CNN. Who knows what the truth is just based on what they say? No doubt there are a few vocal dipshits on college campuses who are protesting, but "massive"? Doubt it.

So, I have been looking at apartment lately. One I went to was a new complex. They had keyless entry on the doors. It struck me while standing there with the guy showing me this technology: what happens when the power goes out? There appeared to be no key entry at all, so in an emergency like a power outage, do your doors automatically unlock?

What is fascinating about this is that the left, instead of heeding the advice offered by even some of those on the left to moderate their outrage so there is not outrage overload, have instead decided to keep doubling down expecting different results. As long as Trump stays the course, what do they do from there. Pretty much all that is left is armed insurrection.

Just returned from a trip and passed through Atlanta airport as dozens, possibly hundreds of protesters were arriving with their signs, scruffy beards. and twat hats. They stood out from the passengers and airport staff like sore thumbs, not only in dress but also in their rude, disorderly conduct. The commentary I heard from other travelers was mostly contemptuous. Who wants to put up with this after all the other headaches of airline travel or work? This is going to backfire on the libs, although from the early MSM reports I can see they are going with the narrative that this is a brave stand against tyranny.

Some executive orders decree
By which he would the Muslims ban
To no more harm either goat nor man
Despite Chuck Schumer's pleas.
And all who heard shall see him there
The media cries, "Beware! Beware!
His Russian ties! His orange hair!
Weave a pussyhat round him thrice
And march against his pussy clutch
We cannot attack him overmuch
To enable the Marxist Paradise!"

There have been numerous terrorist attacks against us during O'Fuckbrains 8 years. So even if we were cowards who preferred to live on our knees, as Charlie Hebdo put it, we'd have nothing to lose. Who cares how mad they get? They are already killing us and we need to fight back.

My wife told me she's seeing a lot of her friends on FB that are melting down over the refugee issue. I told her she should dump FB. She says she can't do that.
I told her she should ask the lefties if they actually have to have one of their family members killed by a Sudden Jihad Syndrome patient before they actually understand we're under attack. She should also tell them the Muzzie countries haven't taken ONE refugee. Then she should ask them why solving this problem should fall on the U.S., who is twenty trillion in debt, when the refugee coreligionists won't spend a damn dime. She tells me she can't say things like that because they won't listen.
Our conversation pretty much has to stop there. She's not going to tell the lefties to perform an act that is generally considered impossible for most people despite my urging. Pity, since most of them need to hear exactly that, followed by an immediate unfriending.
I dumped every lefty I know years ago and I call them on it whenever some lefty bastard spouts that crap in my presence. Not having lefties in ones life makes things a lot easier. Dealing with unrealistic people is a constant pain and I no longer have the patience for it.

Regarding comments that more-or-less suggest that "all the Muslims have to do is change what their Holy Book says":
Islam CAN'T change.
see: https://tinyurl.com/Meme-of-Islam
Short Version:
Islam means "Submission", right? Allah's Perfect Plan for mankind is found in the Koran, which was revealed to Mohammed over a series of visits by Archangel Gabriel. The Koran is eternal, unchangeable, and inerrant. You, practicing Muslim, *MUST* submit to Allah and His Wisdom, and you *MAY NOT* question His methods or His purposes. "For Allah knoweth, and you do not". Muslims must submit to Allah's will as revealed in The Book WITHOUT JUDGING ALLAH'S PLAN, even if they are confused or even repelled by His commands. Human understanding is feeble; The Divine Will is inerrant. Period.
Change a word, a syllable, a vowel, an accent mark ... and the resulting book is no longer the Literal Word Of God. Change ~any~ thing, and you no longer have
Islam.
Which is why Islam is Islam and will always *BE* Islam. It CAN NOT change.

I've lived in a Muslim country and went on short visits over a period of twenty years. I don't go anymore, I wouldn't even if someone paid me to, and I don't think we should be inviting hordes of Muslims onto our shores. I met some very lovely people, particularly in the earlier years of my travel there, but over time I noticed a regression in... how do I put it. Human feeling, common feeling, and common sense, I think. Some of this came from being fed increasing amounts of propaganda originating, I think, in the Saudi wahhabi networks. Social media and al Jazeera spreading a sense of generalized grievance. And of course the Iraq War, not least of all.
Still, there is something ingrained which is foul. I will never forget stumbling across a Jewish cemetery in a ghetto part of town in a so-called "moderate, secular democracy." Most of the Jews of the district had been chased out. In their absence, the locals had turned many of the gravestones into paving stones for a walking path shortcut through the cemetery. They blissfully walked across the names of dead Jews. A few hardy families had tried to prevent vandalism by encasing their ancestor's grave in iron bars. Even that didn't work.
Just a fluke, you say? No. I did a language project whereby I bought middle school civics and history textbooks and prepared a report on them. I was sickened by the anti-Jewish and anti-Christian propaganda. I had a supposedly educated young woman tell me Jews never bathed. In fact, I've heard some of the vilest, stupidest things come out of the pilaf holes of women in hijabs.
And the men. I met numerous women, Europeans and Americans, married to local men. These relationships all inevitably ended the same way. One day I had the treat of escorting a visitor through my city, an attractive young African American woman. Normally I would counter the rude comments of men on the street with little "tsk, tsk" pronouncements in the local language to shut them up. That day, with the black woman, I kept my expression blank and said nothing. I was so glad that she couldn't understand the things being said about her, and didn't want to have to explain why I was so angry.
So yes. I believe that Islam as it is taught and practiced today is incompatible with western values. It is only Americans' naivete and ignorance that makes anyone think otherwise. We assume people are pretty much like us, just with a different flavor. Some people are curry flavored and some taste like Texas bbq, isn't it grand! No. It is not so. We are better off with as few of that sort as we can manage to let in.
To contrast this, all the Copts and Persian Christians I've met have been truly wonderful.
Still, there is something ingrained which is foul. I will never forget stumbling across a Jewish cemetery in a ghetto part of town in a so-called "moderate, secular democracy." Most of the Jews of the district had been chased out. In their absence, the locals had turned many of the gravestones into paving stones for a walking path shortcut through the cemetery. They blissfully walked across the names of dead Jews. A few hardy families had tried to prevent vandalism by encasing their ancestor's grave in iron bars. Even that didn't work.
Just a fluke, you say? No. I did a language project whereby I bought middle school civics and history textbooks and prepared a report on them. I was sickened by the anti-Jewish and anti-Christian propaganda. I had a supposedly educated young woman tell me Jews never bathed. In fact, I've heard some of the vilest, stupidest things come out of the pilaf holes of women in hijabs.
And the men. I met numerous women, Europeans and Americans, married to local men. These relationships all inevitably ended the same way. One day I had the treat of escorting a visitor through my city, an attractive young African American woman. Normally I would counter the rude comments of men on the street with little "tsk, tsk" pronouncements in the local language to shut them up. That day, with the black woman, I kept my expression blank and said nothing. I was so glad that she couldn't understand the things being said about her, and didn't want to have to explain why I was so angry.
So yes. I believe that Islam as it is taught and practiced today is incompatible with western values. It is only Americans' naivete and ignorance that makes anyone think otherwise.
