Here's Israeli Chemi Shalev's thoughts and observations on the ADL survey, which are mentioned and linked in Strenger's article above: Original article: Ten comments on ADL's global survey of anti-Semitism (It's not all bad) - Haaretz

You and my wife seem to be of a like mind ... As you have surely demonstrated from all of your many, many responses to my posts ... addressing their substantive points, and clearly refuting them ... Oh ... wait ... nevermind ... What was that you were just saying ... something about being...

Since it has been suggested to me that this post was inappropriate in another thread I am reproducing it here - along with other related media coverage: Israeli author Carlos Strenger - who writes his "Strenger than Fiction" column @ Israeli news site Haartez - offers some thoughts on how...

As an additional example of one or more of the manifestations of cognitive dissonance, I'll repost the following - which was ignored and not responded to thus far. Watch for and note what you see in response ... or what you don't ... By the way, I note and point out here that the...

Clearly there may be a reading comprehension problem here, as well as a inclination to flee from logical thought: What I said was that I find the inability to change the title of threads after they are created frustrating ... Since I am not presently trying to change a thread title, it seems...

As a blanket statement that is inaccurate, because it broad-brushes sharia, and seeks to define sharia solely by some extreme interpretations/implementations ... which are relatively rare ... The actions of doing so either speaks to 1. ignorance or 2. motivation ... take your pick ... You...

LOL ... you appear to be confusing frustration with simple bemusement ... In any event ... What you would consider to be the appropriate punishment for such a crime as is described in the article linked in the OP - pouring acid on a girl and depriving her of her sight ? Fifty dollars fine ...

That (accurate, in this instance) observation is at least somewhat reassuring ... As did Christian and Jewish courts at one time ... The inaction by police says otherwise ...

Man decries dog biting man ... after man has bitten dog ...

I'm sorry ... I thought - as a consequence of the plain meaning of the thread title - that this thread was about "Modern Life In Iran" ... Since nothing in the OP clearly indicated that this thread was so narrowly focused and constrained, I simply assumed that the OP was offering up what...

Only serves to show that such domination and sujugation is not limited to a particular religion, or possibly to religion at all ... although some may certainly use religion as a pretext for their darker inclinations ...

One has to laugh at the idea that simply stating something, in anyway makes it true ... particularly when no evidence is offered to support a certain conclusion ... Neither do the laws of most Muslim-majority nations ... but hey - don't let that stop ya from trying to spin it ... ;)

Well ... you remember that thing the good Christian brothers and sisters used to do awhile back up Salem way ? Here's a possible modern day instance of it - in Papua New Guinea ... a country whose population is 96% Christian ... or so they claim ... Meet Kepari Leniata, a 20-year-old mother of...

Well this certainly seems to have the potential to further enrage Mr. Netanyahu ... since it seems to fly directly in the face of the narrative he's trying to construct ... Marsha Cohen of the Inter Press News Service details and analyzes the results of the Anti-Defamation League's latest...

BTW ... your question seems to assume a premise whereby people are only Christians when they are actually in a church ... I can assure you that this is, in fact, not the case ... Given the above, one is left to wonder what the actual motivation is, for inquiring about an individual's church...

Indeed ... in fact, given the nature of how we are constructed - with a conscience - it seems likely that it is we ourselves that will be doing at least some of that judging ...

Actually, I would say that small minds will go to great lengths to overlook (and/or perhaps excuse or justify ...) the imperfections of a great thinker ... particularly if those imperfections are representative of something the small mind has decided to espouse ... Something that seems more...

Related, in as much as it deals with matters addressed to some extent in the articles previous quoted. Nicholas Pelham, a Jerusalem-based correspondent for The Economist, asks a question and endeavors to find an answer: Original article: Where is it really better to be a Christian - Israel or...

xiggi, Perhaps not ... perhaps it was in plain view but just not seen or recognized. During the 20 years that you attended Catholic church, just how many women priests conducted the Mass ?
