Here is the Jewish version of the islamocrazy, from:

Ultra-Orthodox modesty squad burns clothing

Ultra-Orthodox extremists continued to wage their immodest clothing war as they set ablaze women’s apparel they deemed impure.

The “clothes of impurity” were burned in an open square in Jerusalem as rabbis admonished the crowd.

“We will get rid of the tight clothes and the Holy One, Blessed be He, will place his mercy on us,” it was written on one of the signs held by the protestors. “Modesty is the only thing that needs to be corrected in our generation,” the rabbis clarified, saying this would solve the troubles of today. “We must overcome this hurdle,” they proclaimed.

The campaign for modesty offered women coupons to “authorized shops” to buy new apparel if they handed over their immodest clothing.

Clothing that is forbidden by the ultra-Orthodox rabbis include: Tricot shirts, Lycra shirts and skirts, open-collared shirts, short and tight skirts, skirts with a slit, skirts with a straight cut, long or bulky earrings, clothes and bags in loud, flashy colors, wigs that are too exclusive, transparent or colorful stockings and clunky shoes.

The crusade descended into violence as extremists attacked women who didn’t fit their criteria and caused damage to various clothing shops, ruining thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.

Thanks for that US Admirer.

It's an instructive comparison, isn't it? It's notable that even at their worst, these Jewish fashion police don't appear to have raped and killed any 16-yr old girls nor strapped bombs to Downs Syndrome teenagers. There's something oddly likeable about them.

...rolling my pants legs up above my ankles,...

That's a new bit of muzzie inanity to me.

Anyone have any info on what that is all about?

I felt myself attracted to the faith, and it seemed to answer the "liar, lunatic, or Lord?" argument by posing a fourth alternative: Jesus was a prophet with a close relationship with God, but he had never claimed divinity. Rather, his words were distorted over time.

So close...

LOL. Much more clever and well-reasoned (and effective) response than I would have given.

I just say "dittos."

The fact that important counterterrorism officials don't even know which groups are Sunni and Shia is indicative of the fact that many people charged with defending our national security are in fact committing professional malpractice.

Bump

Having a strict outlook on life isn't bad.

Blowing up other people for not sharing your outlook, however, is.

As long as these people were burning clothes they had purchased, or legally acquired, and were following local codes on open burning, they weren't doing anything wrong.

A Jew has to be nuts or temporarily insane to go Muslim. I make a bit of an exception for Sufism because the way Sufism is practiced in the USA is hippy dippy New Age. They are harmless goofballs and many are Jewish. I still don't like to see it

Interesting.

I've been coming around to a position that's backed up a little bit by this guy. I think the time is coming upon us when we'll have to expand the fight to an ideological level-- the theological level. It's risky, but I think ultimately its the only way to actually defeat terrorism as it grows out of the Islamic world.

We (the "West") have to take on Islam itself, directly and head-on. We will have to show that Islam itself, in particular Wahhabism, is a false religion. Radicalism will not be defeated until it no longer attracts the faithful.

This is not a mission for governments, either. Especially not the U.S. government. For the American government to take such a position would only confirm Wahhabism's Jihad within their own rhetoric. The American governments job is just to ruthlessly hunt down and kill the radicals just as effectively as they've been doing.

I see it as the job of the Church writ large, with calm assurance and forceful apologetics, face the enemy and agressively take them on at the spiritual level.

Just a thought. Still developing.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how a wig can be exclusive (or otherwise).

Well if they did not attack other people who don't share their fanaticism and only did crazy things, I guess that would only make them crazy and not wrong but these nut-jobs don't stop there.

Actually they beat up women who don't sit on the back of the bus and throw bleach on women who wear immodest dress and stone the windshields of people who drive on the sabbath in their neighborhoods. Does that qualify as wrong?

Would mean the wig stands out to much. Does not easily blend in with the wigs the other ultra orthodox woman are wearing. I have a female cousin who wears such a wig. They moved to Israel

Is wig-wearing an ultra-Orthodox tenet?

And why "exclusive"? That has never been used to mean "loud" or "flashy" or "attention-getting."

You are making a vile comparison with the Islamic fundamentalists. 
What you have to ask yourself is how many of these Jewish extremists are there on this planet?
And do they kill maim and murder others?

There are many many many more Islamic crazies and they will kill you, destroy Israel and subvert Europe

Your dumb comparison is similar to equating Abu Ghraib with what Saddam did.

Only a small minority of students from other countries ever get to see the inside of an American home. We live in a "low context" culture, where interpersonal relationships take a distant back seat to individual interests, such as watching TV.

Yet so many of these bright young people are friendly, and willing to be friends, if approached with sincerity. Hollywood has taught them that Americans are indifferent (or even hostile) to family and God. It's an eye-opener for them to be made welcome in a family that values both.

I am asking God to raise up thousands of home-school families that "adopt" muslim nations, study their language and culture, and befriend students from those countries. Many universities have "language partners programs" where you can coach someone in English, and work on your own Turkish, or Farsi, or Arabic.
