The Airport rightly decided that a Menorah wouldn't cause problems but the Islamic religious symbols that would almost automatically follow would cause many of the traveling public to feel ill at ease. Thus they went from A to C skipping B.

This is all sad but CAIR will eventually undo each and every advance that American Jews have labored to create.

CAIR is modeled to take advantage of ADL's techniques to push for social change. The lever behind ADL's efforts was guilt about the Holocaust, but as time slips into the future, this is forgotten and the norms of preventing oppression by being super accommodating to minorities has been turned on its head because all minorities and all religions are not the same.

This process was previously protested by the White Supremacists who wanted to put up displays where ever Jews tried to put up Menorahs. This was comical and to the greatest extent which ever way this went, it was more of a tempest in the teapot. The entry of Islam into this contest after 911 has been to create a situation where a Religious group intends to use each situation to establish domination over Christianity, Judaism and all other faiths. First by begging accommodation, but then insisting on showing respect by not having competing symbols, on force of threat of mayhem.

Even the Hanukkah story is being turned against us, establishing the grounds for "respecting" Islam as a proxy for American Society being Greece trying to oppress them. At Temple this weekend, the Rabbinic Intern leading Saturday Shabbot services was brimming with pride about Keith Ellison's demand to use the Koran for his swearing in, citing the precedence of a Jew being allowed to use the Tanakh, rather than the standard Christian Bible. I was sore tempted to leave.. but, they were so happy. Thinking this was the next "advance" in religious "tolerance" in the United States.

The challenge of bringing America back to One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All is now a core fight for the very survival of our civilization.

The wasteland that is being settled in our country is the barren souls of Americans who have forgotten God and Morality. This is the shock that we are waking up to. That a significant portion of our population has no concept of morality, and that Hedonism and Multiculturalism have replaced true respect for others who are different but willing to adapt to the American Dream and with that the shared moral values of our culture. This has been fractured along many lines, in a slow deliberate fight to "secularize" the society. But, instead of creating a better society, instead we have slowly begun descending into depravity. Muslims have seen all of these lost souls and believe they can gain a working majority in the US and thereby eventually dominate the whole world.

The problem at its core has two aspects.

The increasing percentage of Americans who only nominally believe in God or are Agnostic or Atheist.
The attempt to Substitute an Atheist State for a Secular State with a basic assumption of the existence of God as defined by the Judeo-Christian tradition.

As long as these two problems exist, we will not be able to meet the challenge of creating and maintaining Justice, Freedom and Liberty for all.
