[tictoc]

One could bring up other Jews that were also brilliant and brought the world nothing but suffering like Lenin and Trotsky.

Lenin was a Jew? Are you nuts?

Maybe I shouldn't say this, being a new member of FreeRepublic, but I am appalled at the low level of fact checking that some posters here employ.

[kapn kuek]

OK, did I miss any spiritual activities characteristic of Islam?

Destroying all Christian and Jewish Holy sites and erecting ugly domes and phallic symbols in their stead.

[Doctor Stochastic]

The Mongol destruction caused the Clerics to claim that "It happened because the people turned away from God." The Mongols destroyed irrigation systems, bridges, etc. They never built much until later. The Clerics continually gained influence which meant that rebuilding wasn't happening in general. It's what the South would have been after Reconstruction without capitalism.

[RightWhale]

Proof please

I am very pleased to find others joining in and contributing to the documentation of this historical fact. Don't know if it will, but this thread could be an eye-opener and a valuable contribution to truth.

What's happening now in some of the Islamic world is a disgrace and I hope the OBLs and Arafats come to their senses very soon.

[elmer fudd]

Yes, Lenin could have immigrated to Israel as a Jew under the Law of Return.

[RightWhale]

fact checking

Some of the most resourceful people on earth are on FR. Few distortions of fact will go unchallenged. We're all learning.

[Pharmboy]

Pretty sure Lenin had a Jewish grandmama.

[SkyPilot]

A few years back, I saw Charles Murry on This Week with David Brinkley. His co-authored book The Bell Curve was quite in the news.

Richard Herrstein also helped write it--and they discovered that Jews were in the top, top, top section of intelligence from a statistical perspective. Herrstein also tested for an IQ of over 160 himself.

It was very controversial, because Asians also were found to be of high intelligence, followed by those of European descent, with blacks and hispanics on the lower end of the curve (statistically).

[restornu]

They are not the only "Semites" on the planet, you are forgetting the tribe of Joseph who worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

They are mostly from the Europe that have arrive in America. Not to take anything away from Judah, for Judah are only 1 of 12 tribes of Israel, the are 11 other tribes of Israel.

[FreeReporting]

And some of the most famous of the Arabs were Jews.

[kaylar]

Hating dogs.
Torturing dogs.
Letting little girls burn for not wearing abayas.
Executing women for the crime of being raped.

[RLK]

Maybe I shouldn't say this, being a new member of FreeRepublic, but I am appalled at the low level of fact checking that some posters here employ.

-------------------

If you're right, your're right, regardless of how long you have been around here.

[Kay Soze]

I was about to make the same adjustment to the list on Camus

[MEGoody]

LOL Oh, brother. You've been brainwashed very well.

[NCDoc]

If the Arabic peoples are not out there winning secular awards, maybe it's because they are more interested in spiritual endeavors.

Maybe its because they send their wives into the fields to tend the crops and their kids into the streets to beg while they sit in the local cafe drinking tea and picking their toenails.

(The sitting in the cafe and picking the toenails bit is from someone I know who was raised in Egypt)

I am sorry to pour out a little rain on your parade: Boris Pasternak could not be considered Jewish, because he was a (devoted) Russian Orthodox beliver. And it seems to me that both Kapitsa and Tamm were not Jewish either, however, I am not sure about it.
