They were trying to be generous, I guess.

RE: RE: Muslim vs. Jewish Contributions to the World
Peter Brian Medawar was born in Brazil, the younger son of a Lebanese father and a British mother, and was naturalized British citizen.
Here is his view on religion:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Brian_Medawar
“... I believe that a reasonable case can be made for saying, not that we believe in God because He exists but rather that He exists because we believe in Him... Considered as an element of the world, God has the same degree and kind of objective reality as do other products of mind... I regret my disbelief in God and religious answers generally, for I believe it would give satisfaction and comfort to many in need of it if it were possible to discover and propound good scientific and philosophic reasons to believe in God... To abdicate from the rule of reason and substitute for it an authentication of belief by the intentness and degree of conviction with which we hold it can be perilous and destructive... I am a rationalist—something of a period piece nowadays, I admit..”
NOT ONE MENTION OF MUHAMMAD OR ALLAH.
So, how is he a Muslim? Just because he was born of a Lebanese father?
Hey, in this case, we should all believe that Meriam Ibrahim is a Muslim like the Sudanese who sentenced her to be hanged simply because her Muslim father abandoned her ( outward profession be damned ).
Sounds OK. Why would an evil magazine mix good with their trash?
I always thought that joke was written by someone really misinformed................

I think the writers of Airplane! were Jewish.
“Allah’s followers have several magnitudes more land than Israel. Why are they so obsessed with this little nation’s land?”
It goes back a few thousand years ...
Well they did say “Legends”. Koufax is probably the only one that most people would know was Jewish.
Most likely, but even they can be mistaken. There were and are lots of Jewish athletes. I’ll give them the benefit of “anything for a laugh”.................
Was Lou Gehrig Jewish? His parents were German immigrants..................
The other one that comes to mind was Hank Greenberg.
Camus’ mother and father were Pied-Noir which means they were of European descent. The mother was Spanish. Pied-Noir could also be Sephardi Jews so his listing has just as much if not more weight on the other side of the ledger. My guess is was neither.
I too questioned the Camus listing.
A communist and anarchist, he seems to have been most of all - anti-totalitarian. Islam seems to be extremely totalitarian.
(I wouldn’t include him in the Jewish list either)
I think they just wanted to throw a few names on the Muslim side just to show they were giving them the benefit of the doubt. Still, it proves the point.
More proof the MediGovt complex cares not to cure, but to RULE!

I'm reaching epic levels of Contemptus Mundi.
The Israelis need to expand their borders as much and as fast as possible toward the original grant by Yahweh. And the land needs to be cleared of Moslems except those who are already citizens of Israel. Islam is overcoming Western Civilization and Israel needs as much space as it can take and hold for the influx of returners that is coming.
