Someone recently passed this article on to me, which I posted on another board. It was promptly removed. So sad . . .

Frightening News from France

Once again, the real news in France is conveniently

not being reported as it should. To give you an idea

of what's going on in France where there are now

between 5 and 6 million Muslims and about 600,000 Jews,

here is an email that came from a Jew living in

France. Please read! Will the world say nothing - again - as it did in Hitler's time?

"I AM A JEW -- therefore I am forwarding this to

everyone on all my e-mail lists. I will not sit back

and do nothing." Nowhere have the flames of

anti-Semitism burned more furiously than in France:

Lyon, a car was rammed into a synagogue and set

on fire. In Montpellier, the Jewish religious center

was firebombed; so were synagogues in Strasbourg and

Marseilles; so was a Jewish school in Creteil - all recently.

A Jewish sports club in Toulouse was attacked with

Molotov cocktails, and on the statue of Alfred

Dreyfus in Paris, the words "Dirty Jew" were

painted. In Bondy, 15 men beat up members of a

Jewish football team with sticks and metal bars. The

bus that takes Jewish children to school in

Aubervilliers has been attacked three times in the last 14 months.

According to the Police, metropolitan Paris has seen

10 to 12 anti-Jewish incidents PER DAY in the past

30 days. Walls in Jewish neighborhoods have been

defaced with slogans proclaiming "Jews to the gas

chambers" and "Death to the Jews."

A gunman opened fire on a Kosher butcher's shop

(and, of course, the butcher) in Toulouse , France;

a Jewish couple in their 20s were beaten up by five

men in Villeurbanne , France . The woman was

pregnant; a Jewish school was broken into and

vandalized in Sarcelles , France . This was just in

the past week.

So I call on you, whether you are a fellow Jew, a

friend, or merely a person with the capacity and

desire to distinguish decency from depravity, to do,

at least, these three simple things:

First, care enough to stay informed. Don't ever let

yourself become deluded into thinking that this is

no t your fight. I remind you of what Pastor

Neimoller said in World War II: "First they came for

the Communists, and I didn't speak up, because I

wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and

I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew. Then they

came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up,

because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me,

and by that time there was no one left to speak up

for me".

Second, boycott France and French products. Only the

Arab countries are more toxically anti-Semitic and,

unlike them, France exports more than just oil and

hatred. So boycott their wines and their perfumes.

Boycott their clothes and their foodstuffs. Boycott

their movies. Definitely boycott their shores. If

we are resolved we can exert amazing pressure and,

whatever else we may know about the French, we most

certainly know that they are like a cobweb in a

hurricane in the face of well directed pressure.

Third, send this along to your family, your friends,

and your co-workers. Think of all of the people of

good conscience that you know and let them know

that you and the people that you care about need

their help. The number one best selling book in

France is "September 11: The Frightening Fraud,"

which argues that no plane ever hit the Pentagon."

Your beliefs are off limits to discuss, you can tear apart mine, is that what you're saying?

Your beliefs are fine with me. I only have a problem with you trying to convert everyone to them.

And if you would express them as "your beliefs" instead of "I didn't say that. Scriptures says that", I would be less inclined to complain. An "IMHO" here and there wouldn't hurt.

That's not a discussion, thats like Socialism, which is another name for liberalism isn't it? Now who's the reall bully here??

Why are you so afraid of the word Liberal? What is wrong with the word socialism?

Wasn't Jesus promoting socialism when he tried to save everyone's soul by dying on the cross?

That's one way to change the subject, avoid having to answer questions and get real! Go on yet another tirade against the government, Conservative Christians, social injustice and everything that's wrong with this country. :faint: :notagree :help: SOS = Same Old Story!!

There is an insidious undercurrent that many in the USA are not aware of. Many people of good will are being swept up into it unknowingly.

In this thread, it has been said and agreed with that anyone who disagrees with the President's policies should be tried as a traitor. Ann Coulter may have wrote the book, but there are many supporters, including some of the posters here.

It has also been said that people should vote for candidates that would put their religious values into law.

If enough candidates are elected by members of one religious group, then the laws can be and will be changed to reflect that group's religions values or what some of the extremists see as the religious values of that group. The USA is 80% Christian according to the latest figures I have read.

Ann Coulter and her followers are prominent in one of the largest pockets of Christian political thought and one of the most vocal and most politically active. They will work tirelessly to get their agenda put into law.

Though there are many different kinds of Christians, a president may someday be elected, who will take measures to promote his version of Christianity and when people disagree with him, they will be tried as traitors. Soon, who will have the nerve to speak out.

How many people were afraid to speak out in the days right after 911?

I wasn't and I was verbally assaulted for being unamerican and a traitor, and invited to go to a Muslim country to live.

How many people were afraid to speak out in the days right before and right after the invasion of Iraq?

I wasn't and I was verbally assaulted for being unamerican and a traitor, and invited to go to a Muslim country to live.

When Ann Coulter gets her way and the majority of elected officials know that the Bible would want them to promote Christianity, what else will people be afraid to speak out about?

Jesus tried to convert everyone, didn't He??

Your beliefs are fine with me. I only have a problem with you trying to convert everyone to them.

And if you would express them as "your beliefs" instead of "I didn't say that. Scriptures says that", I would be less inclined to complain. An "IMHO" here and there wouldn't hurt.

My beliefs and what the scriptures say are one and the same. I don't make up my own beliefs.

Why are you so afraid of the word Liberal? What is wrong with the word socialism? Socialism has never worked; ask a Russian!! At least now we knoe your ideal is 'Socialism" and not Democracy! That explains an awful lot about your views about our great country!

Wasn't Jesus promoting socialism when he tried to save everyone's soul by dying on the cross? Not even close! he gave us all a free choice; that more like capitalism!

If I am to believe in a God, and I believe that God is perfect...

How perfect is God?

Was God perfect enough to know everything that was going to happen in the future?

Did God know (on the first day of Genesis) that TOM would be asking Ron Cusano "How perfect is God?"?

If so, then we are only playing his game, and therefor we are doing his will, whether we are murdering 6,000,000 Jews or living a life of a pious Christian monk.

If not, then God is not perfect, but very powerful and IMHO still Almighty.

To be able to control life or death.

To be able to listen in on the thoughts of 6,500,000,000 people at once and to judge them.

WOW. That is Almighty (but not perfect).

Jesus tried to convert everyone, didn't He??

And that is more akin to socialism than capitalism. IMHO, Jesus was anti-capitalism. Look at his contact with the money lenders just before his execution. How about the Biblical statement about the difficulty of a rich man entering the "Kingdom of Heaven"?

In the example you sited here, the Pastor was 100% correct. Within the church, a women is not to exert authority over the man. Just as Christ is the head of the Church, a man is the head of the household and is responsible for teaching, among other things.

So....you're saying that for the more than 50 years this woman taught, her church elders, various pastors, etc were ALL in error? And for all that time, they were misinterpreting the scriptures, yes? How is that possible, since the dogma of the church did NOT change during that time. And still remains unchanged in most Baptist churches across America.

How do you KNOW this one scripture should be taken "literally", but many others (like the one that says women must cover their heads to pray) need NOT be? How, exactly, is that distinction "clear" to you?

That is your opinion!

No one told you to leave the country. As usual, you are twisting my words and making things up. I listed three choices that we all have. I didn't tell you to do anything.

And, no, you don't have to explain your lifestyle to me. I just thought since you are always yelling about social injustice and the down trodden, that you would be going to great lengths to change the world unless it's all just talk.

Regarding you religious conviction, let me see if I understand you correctly. Your beliefs are off limits to discuss, you can tear apart mine, is that what you're saying? That's not a discussion, thats like Socialism, which is another name for liberalism isn't it? Now who's the reall bully here??

Cusano, you have chosen to display your beliefs on this thread and thus they are open for discussion. It does not follow that TOM must display his beliefs and he has chosen to keep these to himself. What is wrong with that?

Yes, my God is perfect. I can't say much for the God you worship. If he's in imperfect, I want no part of him!

How perfect is God?

Was God perfect enough to know everything that was going to happen in the future?

Did God know (on the first day of Genesis) that TOM would be asking Ron Cusano "How perfect is God?"?

If so, then we are only playing his game, and therefor we are doing his will, whether we are murdering 6,000,000 Jews or living a life of a pious Christian monk.

If not, then God is not perfect, but very powerful and IMHO still Almighty.

To be able to control life or death.

To be able to listen in on the thoughts of 6,500,000,000 people at once and to judge them.

WOW. That is Almighty (but not perfect).

And what is wrong with socialism? (Perhaps you are confusing socialism with totalitarianism, eh.)

Why are you so afraid of the word Liberal? What is wrong with the word socialism?

Socialism has never worked; ask a Russian!! At least now we knoe your ideal is 'Socialism" and not Democracy! That explains an awful lot about your views about our great country!

There you go again, equating a question with a point of my belief. I never said I believed in socialism, though I support Social Security and Medicare. I will not ask if you do. It is none of my business.

And if I did favor in Socialism, which I don't, why would that make me a bad American? There is an American socialist party registered with the US Board of elections who have the same rights as the other registered parties such as the Republican, Democratic, Conservative, Liberal and American Communist parties.

Yes, my God is perfect. I can't say much for the God you worship. If he's in imperfect, I want no part of him!

Oh, the my God is better than your God statement! How refreshingly juvenile. This reminds me of my schoolyard era and that was a long, long time ago. :rolleyes

What bit about Jesus' Body?

You've said that Jesus didn't really mean us to eat his body and drink his blood. But those are the words the Bible uses.

Yes, my God is perfect. I can't say much for the God you worship. If he's in imperfect, I want no part of him!

So God knew 6,000 years ago that on March 2, 2007 that Ron Cusano was going to type, "Yes, my God is perfect. I can't say much for the God you worship. If he's in imperfect, I want no part of him!"?

I asked only in jest. You need not answer that.

And my God is the same as your God is the same God that the Muslims worship is the same God as the Catholics worship is the same God as Jews worship and the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons worship.

We just go about it differently.

All we're asking is "How do you know about Jesus and whatever it is you believe" if it didn't come from the Bible??? What are you basing it on?? It's a simple question!

Not believing the Bible is word-for-word literel doesn't mean some don't read it, and that their faith doesn't come from it. You don't seem to get that, even though it's what you yourself do.

A number of posts ago it was sugested that the term Liberal and the terms communism and socialist were interchangeable. Communism and a socialism are economic systems not political philosophies so it is quite possible to be a conservative communist.

Democracy is a type of political system as is a dictatorship. So it is also possible to live in a Liberal, socialist democracy, many Americans would view Canada as such.

Also when someone states that there has never been a succesfull example of socialism or communism you are mistaken. China is very succesful and considerred to be a society based on a communist system. I am certain that many will say that China is not a true communist country and my response is that the many would also argue that the United States is not a true democracy only proving that it is impossble to find a true anything.

So stop saying that socialists and liberals are the same thing. I am a Liberal and a socialist who believes in democracy.
