There are verses in the Bible that are violent BUT NEITHER CHRISTIANS OR JEWS uses them as foundation for their actions.
"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;...that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.

RE: “What could be more bigoted than to claim that you have a monopoly on God?”
Isn’t the above statement itself a form of bigotry? He is claiming that he holds the correct truth claims and all who disagree with him are wrong.
This guy not only drinks the Kool-Aid, he bathes in it.
Wonder what the Torah says about those who hate their own people?
A fitting end for this creep would be to fall under the dull knife of the terrorist he loves so much. The terrorist would even film the stupid look on his face while his executioner begins sawing his neck.
Another false prophet among many.
1. read the Koran and you will find over 100 sections extolling or approving murdering, subjugating, or attacking Christians and Jews
2. The Bible does not promote terrorism, what an absurd stupid lie.
3. this man is sold out to the IslamoNazis, he just can’t be THAT ignorant about Koran and especially not about the Bible
4. he does us all a tremendous disservice to spread such outrageous lies, especially at this critical moment when Obama is making sure his Iranian IslamoNazi friends get nuclear bombs and the ICBM’s so they can fire them at American cities
5. Jews have been well-known to have their Enemies Within for a very, very long time. But, this guy takes the cake!
Ummm....No.
Torah is truth.
This is one of the wackiness things I have read in a long time.
The actual ancient Biblical Israelites were much more like today's moslems than most people would like to admit. But that is not a criticism. It is praise!
Just a few weeks ago Jews all over the world read the story of Pinechas, who in a fit of righteous wrath picked up a spear and killed Zimri Ben Sallu' and his Moabite lover Kozbi. For this he was rewarded with an eternal priesthood and some commentators say that is is the same person as 'Eliyahu HaNavi' (the Prophet Elijah), zakhur latov, who to this day has not died.
This is what religion was like pre-"enlightenment." People didn't just pay lip service back then. When they said G-d was the Ultimate Authority they literally meant it! Now all Jews and chrstians have subconsciously accepted the moral superiority of secularism and are continually apologizing for the actions of their co-religionists who actually act like their ancestors.
A few weeks ago homosexual militants held a "pride" march in Jerusalem--the holiest city in the world. One "ultra-Orthodox" man was so disgusted that he attempted what Pinechas did (though he didn't succeed). Immediately good "Orthodox Jews" began falling all over themselves to condemn him and assuring their secular betters not to judge Judaism by this man.
Now whether or not what this man did was justified is not for me to decide. After all, murder is certainly as prohibited as homosexuality and in most cases such issues are to be decided by a rabbinic court. But the nature of this particular provocation was almost inconceivable. His critics were quick to point out that what these homosexuals were doing wasn't quite as bad as what Zimri and Kozbi had done. But I would like to ask one question:
What would it have taken for this man's actions to be justified in the eyes of his critics? If the actions of Zimri and Kozbi were to, G-d forbid, be repeated today and if someone, like Pinechas, took matters into his own hands, how many of these same people would be apologizing just as profusely and begging secularists not to judge their religion too harshly?
I don't want to be misunderstood. I am not pro-islam. However, I do not hypocritically demand that moslems go down the same modernist, secularist path that Jews and chrstians have done (as so many conservatives do). The "enlightenment" and the idea that no one can really know with certainty which religion is true (which is what separation of religion and state is really based on) are the seeds sown at the beginning that have led to this current crisis.
I'm not a "lost tribes" person, but if in G-d's will they have been placed in suspended animation for all these millenia, then I'm about ready to have them unleashed on the world. Then both secularists and modern Jewish and chrstian "conservatives" will see what real religion is about!
The Reform movement literally believes in nothing. They make it up as they go.
