I found this to be very compelling.

I also spent last week in trial with Jewish refuges from Russia. A lot of the testimony turned on how Jews are treated in Russia. The judge, a very nice man and one would assume well educated, said he had no idea that Jews were still hated in the world. I felt like asking him what reality he was living in.

(Twelve imams led Islam after Mohammed’s death, much like Peter and the early church fathers/popes led Christianity. The twelth, and last, of the imams disappeared mysteriously, I don’t know the whole story. The Shiites believe that he will return, he is called the Quaim.)

The story I have heard is that he fell into a well and was never seen again. I could be wrong...

I represented a Jewish woman in a divorce case. We were in court when opposing counsel complained about the money my client wanted for support. Speaking to the magistrate, she said something along the lines of, "You know how Jewish women are. You know how they like their money."

I was almost speechless. Both opposing counsel and I are black, and I find blacks often think they can make anti-Semitic statements to each other without impunity. What surprised me was that she was saying this trash in court. But unbeknownst to her, I am also a convert to Judaism. I didn't care if I was in court or not, I immediately told her what I thought about her statement and asked for an apology.

Back in law school, a classmate asked me if I was converting in order to make more money.

There's plenty of anti-Semiticism around. Most of the time, you don't even have to look for it; it's staring you in the face.

It is very compelling.

". . . he believes that the Quaim will return . . . and the time . . .will be marked by chaos and war. Until you understand this factor . . . ."

I will never understand this factor, and frankly, I don't want to. IMO, they are just evil men who live for death, destruction, and power, and "blame" it on their beliefs. Plain and simple.

"Hezbollah is an agent of Iran. When Iran gets nuclear weapons, so will Hezbollah. Israel knows that it must eliminate Hezbollah and the nuclear threat from Hezbollah within a certain timeframe."

Yet the bleeding hearts are giving Israel grief for their "disproportionate" actions in the current campaign. Yet, If Israel suffers even one nuclear strike and many are killed, where will these dumb self-righteous moralizers be as the dead are being buried?

Right. No where to be found.

It is fairly well written. I don't share her opinion about Syria completely.

"In the fullness of time, Islam will be a “footnote in history”, according to Islam’s own Hadith, the collection of Islamic writings that are generally believed to be accurate and inspired, not spoken by Mohammed but perhaps the equivalent of the letters of the apostles in the New Testament."

Fascinating. An admirable post for a difficult time. Thank you.

Thanks very much for the eyewitness perspective, very interesting.

The leader of Iran, Ahmandejad, is a very fundamentalist Moslem, and he believes that the Quaim will return within two or three years, and the time before that second coming will be marked by chaos and war. Until you understand this factor, you will not understand what is really happening in the Middle East.

Worth repeating, I think.
