The Jews aren't strapping bombs on their people. That's something the Palestinians practice. Because their religion - moderate are not - is to convert or die. No other religion has that written in their holy book.

Really? They do? Lets look at the stats.

That's half of the murder rate in Houston.

Where Cruz practiced law.

Jews don't engage in terrorist attacks? What kind of ignorant nonsense is that? You DO know that the Jewish state was founded on terrorism don't you?

The Jews attacked EVERYBODY, including the British, to form their state. What you and those like you need to do is come out and declare it is OK in some cases and not OK in other places based on race or religious beliefs.

"Convert or die" is a Christian invention, not a Muslim invention.

From The Crusades, by Bernard Hamilton:1

“In 1309 the Teutonic Order moved its headquarters to Marienburg in Prussia. It had a papal license to wage perpetual war against the pagans and used this to launch annual crusades against Lithuania. These expeditions were very popular the nobility of northern Europe: campaigns were held twice a year, in the summer and in the winter when the order laid on special Christmas festivities for visiting crusaders.”

“The excuse for men who enjoyed fighting and to lay waste large parts of Lithuania in the name of Christ was removed in 1386 when the King of Lithuania, Ladislas Jagiello, married Queen Jadwiga of Poland and received Catholic baptism. The two kingdoms were united under Christian rulers and the Teutonic Knights no longer had any justification for crusading against pagans there.”

Lithuania was not the first country that fell victim to a campaign of lethal military force, for the purpose of forced conversion to Christianity. Three entire European nationalities became victims of genocide because they refused to become Christians:

“...the Vandals, Ostogoths, and Heruli. The last three were destroyed by the Pope of Rome because they refused to become ‘Christian.’ The armies of Emperor Justinian, in cooperation with the Pope, thrust the Ostrogoths out of the city of Rome. They have become extinct.”2

Jews had to endure the sword too. Millions of Jews from the fourth century CE until the 20th Century were forced to “kiss the sword” of Christ, or be put to death by that sword. Therefore, many, many Jews died at the hands of Christians in the name of Jesus. Fortunately, many Jews managed to survive. They survived by lying―they converted, but secretly remained Jews. The Christian Church finally realized what was happening and in 1492, the Spanish Inquisition tried to purge the country of these “Secret” Jews, called Marranos.

Islamic Law does not "force" conversions at the cost of life.

I don't click onto your links. The only thing I will say is that "murder" is a sin to any honest Christian. So, the murder rate in Houston is irrelevant to the discussion. Good attempt to sidetrack though.

And save yourself the trouble of bringing up tribal wars of the OT. It was survival of the fittest. It was either Israel as the survivor or another heathen people. I would prefer Israel to be the victor.

Jews don't engage in terrorist attacks? What kind of ignorant nonsense is that? You DO know that the Jewish state was founded on terrorism don't you?

Ever heard of Irgun? Here's their list of terrorist attacks.

Yes, I am familiar with Irgun. Are you familiar with the fact that the Jewish Agency condemned them for their acts?

I don't know any Muslim organization who has condemned Hamas or any other Muslim terrorist. I believe Greta VanSusteren just sent out a challenge to hear someone step up.

On a side note, it reminds me of the Mexicans that are still whining that the US "stole" their land. The want to overlook the facts of history - Santa Anna encouraged the Mexicans to go to Texas and other southern states. After they began to settle, he became a dictator to them and they fought and "won" their independence from his cruel hand.

Your list here doesn't show relevant facts. For one - GOD Almighty gave the land to the Hebrews. Israel belongs to the Jews. There were various tribes inhabiting the land before God instructed the Hebrews to conquer the land from the heathens who worshiped gods of their own making and would harm Israel thereby.

The age old argument or claim that Arab Palestinian rights to Arab Palestine is contradicted in history and has been pointed out by various historians and even Arabists that the land was named Palestina by the Romans in order to eradicate all traces of its Jewish history. Israel belongs to the Jews.

So, let's look at some of the facts concerning the Irgun:

• They were a military group that refused to bow to political pressure in their attempts to secure Israel.
• They were trying to protect the Israeli settlers from roaming Arabs who were causing havoc.
• The British began banning Jewish immigration and were not protecting the Jews.
  The Jewish Agency condemned them for their acts.

This makes your list irrelevant.

I am wondering if you are aware that the Catholic Church preaches false doctrine - therefore - their acts will be judged by God in that last day. A Christian is a follower of Christ's doctrine. The Catholic Church does not teach that doctrine.

Although they had a reformation take place, they are still not of the Apostle's doctrine. They preach nothing that Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost. There is no other truth in this world.

You may want to look a little more educated when you judge "Christianity" and the "Crusades" by the Catholic Church. It would be a good idea to realize that about the Catholic Church and to also note that they were the ones in 325 AD who started the meme of the Jews being "Christ killers". They were the ones that began the Antisemitism fight - a priest testifying to that very fact after he researched the history of Catholicism and left the Catholic Church.

You see, the facts make your comments irrelevant.

Let’s look at the “myth” of moderate Islam. While the Jewish Agency condemned the acts of the Irgun, we don’t see any muslim organizations doing the same.

Let’s focus on their inherent beliefs more than focusing on whether or not they are violent:


According to a 2011 Pew Research poll:
1.6 Billion Muslims live in this world - in 49 different countries there they have the majority


Asia - 205 Million Muslims
Indonesia and a lot of other countries - 50% support strict Sharia Law
70% - Blame the US or Israel for 911
Total: 143 radicalized Muslims

Egypt: 80 million Muslims
65% support strict Sharia law
70% positive or mixed feelings about Ben Laden
Total: 55.2 Million radicalized Muslims

Pakistan - 179 Million Muslims
76% support strict Sharia law in ALL Islamic countries
Total: 135.4 Million radicalized Muslims

Bangladesh - 149 Million Muslims
2013 Pew Research - 1/4 believe suicide bombings sometimes justified
82% want Sharia law as official law of the country
2/3 support honor killings of women as sometimes justified
Total: 121.9 Million radicalized Muslims

Nigeria - 75.7 Million Muslims
71% favor Sharia Law
Total: 53:7 Million radicalized Muslims

Iran - 74.8 Million Muslims
83% favor Sharia as of 2013
Total: 62.1 Million radicalized Muslims

Turkey - 74.7 Million Muslims (the most moderate Muslim country and ally of the US)
32% support honor killings of women as sometimes justified.
Total: 23.9 million radicalized Muslims

Morocco - 32.4 Million Muslims
3/4 support Sharia Law
Total: 24.6 Million radicalized Muslims

Iraq - 31.1 Million Muslims
78% support honor killings of women
Total: 24.3 Million radicalized Muslims

Afghanistan - 24 Million Muslims
76% support honor killing of women
99% support Sharia law
Total: 24 Million radicalized Muslims

Jordan - 6.4 Million Muslims
60% approval ratings for Hamas
Total: 3.8 Million radicalized Muslims

Palestinian Areas - 4.3 Million Muslims
78% positive or mixed feelings about Bin Laden
89% support terror attacks against Israel
89% support Sharia Law
Total: 3.83 Million radicalized Muslims

France - 4/7 Million Muslims
2007 - 35% favored suicide bombings as justified
Total: 1.6 Million radicalized Muslims

Great Britain - 2.8 Million Muslims
78% wanted prosecution of Mohammad cartoonist
Total: 2.2 Million radicalized Muslims

United States - 2.6 "Moderate" Muslims
13% support violence against civilians as justified
19% favorable to Al Qaeda
Total: 500,000 radicalized Muslims

Grand Total: 680,030,000 radicalized Muslims

942.4 Million Total Muslims - leaving off the totals for Algeria, Syria, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Tunisia, Somalia and Libya.

What is the logical conclusion? That the totals are NOT a "minority", they are a "MAJORITY"! - "MODERATE IS A MYTH"!!!!

Your answer, randomly picked from thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of possibilities

Margaret Ward was condemned to die for assisting a priest to escape from Bridewell. She was offered her liberty if she would go to the Protestant church, and on refusing these terms, was hanged at Tyburn. Mrs. Line was tried for her life before Chief-Justice Popham for entertaining a priest in her house, and was flogged and then hanged. Mrs. Wells, for the same cause, received sentence of death, but died in prison. Anne Tesse and Bridget Maskew were condemned to be burnt alive, but after lingering for several years in gaol, were set at liberty by James I. More famous, however, than any of these is the name of Margaret Margaret Clitherow, of whose charity, good works, and heroic death we fortunately possess a full contemporary account, drawn up by her director, the Rev. John Mush. Her history is but briefly told in the Memoirs of Bishop Challoner, who simply says she refused to plead, and was ‘pressed’ to death according to law.

It was already pointed out that you do and will excuse terrorist acts depending on religion, skin color or background, no big surprise on your answer. I can see that Irgun was condemned. Look what happened to their leadership. OOPS.


Menachem Begin Hebrew: מְנַחֵם בֵּגִין; Polish: Mieczysław Biegun; Russian: Менахем Вольфович Бегин Menakhem Vol'fovich Begin; 16 August 1913 – 9 March 1992) was an Israeli politician, founder of Likud and the sixth Prime Minister of the State of Israel. Before the creation of the state of Israel, he was the leader of the Zionist militant group Irgun, the Revisionist breakaway from the larger Jewish paramilitary organization Haganah. He proclaimed a revolt, on 1 February 1944, against the British mandatory government, which was opposed by the Jewish Agency. As head of the Irgun, he targeted the British in Palestine.

He was a terrorist and he participated in targeting random civilians all over the region. Condemned? Not a chance. He became prime minister.

I reiterate that the state of Israel was founded on and by terrorism and terrorists and that you, and Ted Cruz, support this.

It is good to see how brave Margaret Ward was against the strong arm of the Catholic Jesuits, but the newly formed Protestant Church was still not the Apostles Doctrine. You can focus all day long on past history and the time of the "crusades", but it is still Catholicism, which God wouldn't recognize as truth. I don't judge true Christianity by it. Especially, during that time period.

It was already pointed out that you do and will excuse terrorist acts depending on religion, skin color or background, no big surprise on your answer. I can see that Irgun was condemned. Look what happened to their leadership. OOPS.


Menachem Begin Hebrew: מְנַחֵם בֵּגִין; Polish: Mieczysław Biegun; Russian: Менахем Вольфович Бегин Menakhem Vol'fovich Begin; 16 August 1913 – 9 March 1992) was an Israeli politician, founder of Likud and the sixth Prime Minister of the State of Israel. Before the creation of the state of Israel, he was the leader of the Zionist militant group Irgun, the Revisionist breakaway from the larger Jewish paramilitary organization Haganah. He proclaimed a revolt, on 1 February 1944, against the British mandatory government, which was opposed by the Jewish Agency. As head of the Irgun, he targeted the British in Palestine.

He was a terrorist and he participated in targeting random civilians all over the region. Condemned? Not a chance. He became prime minister.

I reiterate that the state of Israel was founded on and by terrorism and terrorists and that you, and Ted Cruz, support this.

You can continue to falsely call Israel "Palestine"... AGAIN:

Obama Administration is Intentionally Misleading Americans on Proposed Water Rule

Senators Respond to Administration’s Biased Campaign to Downplay Negative Impacts; Proposed Rule Will Have on Jobs, The Economy and Private Landowners

(Below is a news release and letter issued by Sen. Barrasso’s office earlier today, which may also be viewed here.) - Click link below to view letter.

WASHINGTON, DC -- Today, U.S. Senators John Barrasso (R-WY), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Ranking Member David Vitter (R-LA) led a group of 25 senators in calling out the Obama Administration for intentionally misleading Americans about the negative impacts of the proposed “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS) rule.

With few exceptions, this proposed rule would give the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) virtually unlimited regulatory authority over all state and local waters, no matter how remote or isolated such waters may be from truly navigable waters. The Small Business Administration’s Office of Advocacy (SBA) recently reported this rule will result in a “direct and potentially costly impact on small businesses.”

In a letter to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy and Secretary of the Army John M. McHugh, the senators outline and respond to some of the Administration’s misleading talking points about the rule.

“Undoubtedly, there is a disconnect between regulatory reality and the Administration’s utopian view of the proposed ‘waters of the United States’ rule. We believe this reflects the EPA’s and the Corps’ refusal to listen to the thousands of Americans who have asked that the proposed rule be immediately withdrawn. Indeed, there have been several examples of bias against the proposed rule’s critics. For the record, we note here the ways in which the Administration has manipulated this rulemaking in ways that appear to be designed to prejudge the outcome:,” the Senators wrote.

The Senators respond in detail to:

The Obama Administration claims that the proposed “Waters of the United States” rule responds to prior requests for a Clean Water Act rulemaking.
The Obama Administration insinuating that opposition to the proposed rule is equivalent to opposition to clean water.
EPA’s attempt to delegitimize questions and concerns surrounding the proposed rule.
EPA and the Corps blatant misrepresentation of the impacts of increased Clean Water Act jurisdiction.
EPA’s social media advocacy in favor of the proposed “Waters of the United States” rule prejudices the rulemaking process.

In addition to Barrasso, Cruz, McConnell, and Vitter, the letter was signed by Senators Pat Roberts (R-KS), Mike Enzi (R-WY), John Cornyn (R-TX), Jim Risch (R-ID), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Roger Wicker (R-MS), Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Roy Blunt (R-MO), John Boozman (R-AR), Mike Johanns (R-NE), Tim Scott (R-SC), Deb Fischer (R-NE), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Jerry Moran (R-KS), Rand Paul (R-KY), Johnny Isakson (R-GA), John Hoeven (R-ND) and Mike Lee (R-UT).

We Stand in Solidarity with Israel and Canada
Sen. Cruz releases statement about terrorist attacks in Ottawa and Jerusalem
October 23, 2014
|
(202) 228-7561

WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, released the following statement today regarding the terrorists attacks in Ottawa and Jerusalem yesterday:

“The attacks in Ottawa and Jerusalem yesterday are stark reminders that while radical Islamic terrorism may have originated in the Middle East, it is not confined to that region. Our great and good friends in Canada and Israel were targeted because both countries share the same core principles of tolerance and freedom that we in America hold so dear—and which are hated by the vicious terrorists whose ultimate goal is to destroy us all.

“In Ottawa, a brave soldier named Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was guarding the symbol of his country's national resolve when he was brutally gunned down by a recent convert to radical Islam, apparently aggrieved by Canada’s support for the operation against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. This episode is all too reminiscent of the attack on Fort Hood in Texas in 2009 when fourteen Americans were slaughtered on one of our key military installations in a claimed retaliation for Muslims killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.

“In Jerusalem, a three month old baby girl, Chaya Zissel-Brown, was run over by a car driven by a Hamas associate who deliberately crashed into a crowd of civilians embarking from a commuter train. This innocent baby was in fact an American citizen as her parents had recently emigrated to Israel from the United States. This calculated targeting of innocents is all too reminiscent of the attack last month in Moore, Oklahoma, in which yet another self-radicalized Muslim convert decapitated a co-worker, Colleen Hufford, while screaming Islamist tenets.

“The United States stands unshakably with our close allies as we continue the long fight against the enemy who does not distinguish between our countries. We empathize with their losses as they are our losses as well. Ultimately, our solidarity and shared commitment to the defense of our way of life is the source of our strength. As Prime Minister Stephen Harper said today, such episodes only ‘lead us to strengthen our resolve, to strengthen and redouble our efforts to work with our allies around the world and fight against the terrorist organizations who brutalize those in other countries with the hope of bringing their savagery to our shores. They will have no safe haven.’”

That's for sure. We are different like that. In this example you would not dare put UN statistics beside your claims. That would incur allowing facts to stand in the way of your statements.

Yes, I can see how you would have confidence in any stats coming from the Anti-semitic UN. The reason that I don't click on your links is because I don't know you, and many of your links I don't recognize.

I find it quite funny that you seriously and deeply believe that UN statistics related to global violence are "anti-Semitic" for no reason other than they do not support your views.
