* Evicted five centuries ago by crusading Christians, the Arabs are back in Spain, using their oil dollars to buy land that was seized from their ancestors by the sword". James M. Markham, The New York Times, 1981.
* The Madrid daily ABC wrote that 800 mosques in Spain are out of control. The Spanish daily La Razon charged that Gulf donors, such as Qatar, were a source of Spain's Islamization. The Saudis also launched a new Spanish television channel, Córdoba TV, as did Iran.
* They dream of, and work to, regain the "lost Caliphate" of Spain. Some Islamists do it with bombs and car-ramming attacks. Others, more surreptitiously, do it with money and dawa, Islamic propaganda. The second way may be even more effective than the first.
The ceremony in 2003 was announced with bombastic headlines: "After a wait of more than 500 years, Spanish Muslims, have finally succeeded in building a mosque of their own in the shadow of the Alhambra, once the symbol of Islamic power in Europe". A troupe from al Jazeera was sent to follow the event: a muezzin climbed to the minaret of the Great Mosque of Granada to call the faithful to prayer for the first time in five centuries.
From Osama bin Laden to the self-proclaimed Caliph, Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, all the leaders of the global jihad -- including the terror cell that killed 17 people in Barcelona -- have mentioned Spain among the lands to be conquered by Islam. There is, however, not only jihad. There is also "the quiet conquest", as it has been dubbed by the French magazine, Valeurs Actuelles. The quiet conquest is a sinuous attempt to re-Islamize Spain through cultural centers, mega-mosques, proselytizing, conversions and financial investments. This pacific attempt to elicit submission......

“the people of Europe may find their independence - and their spine”
But unless they find their children, the amount of spine is irrelevant.
Constant renewing of things covered in this is what caused the gentle Nauga to go extinct: excessive hunting.
Man once again learned the lesson that the unique beasts could have been farmed; but NO!; they had to go the way of the Passenger Pigeon and the DODO!!
Rats!
I was hoping for a rational discussion of the subject.
Oh well...
Like THIS guy??
He was into LAW a lot...
9To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable:
10"Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people-robbers, evildoers, adulterers-or even like this tax collector. 12I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.'
13"But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'
14"I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."
The Seven Laws of the Children of Noah are the minimum for a healthy culture. Any culture that abandons those Seven Laws is going to be brutal and short-lived, regardless of whether its members nominally embrace Christianity.
Theological disputations are pointless in a collapsing culture.
Elsie, you raise a good point.
The poor creatures were hunted almost to extinction!
Still, my noahide bible cover was beautiful and functional, but of course temporary- just like the noahide commands were supplanted as God reavealed His prophecy in history... and particularly in Christ.
Whats happening to this entire world is disgusting, disheartening and scary. The Left and the Muslims are ushering in hell on Earth.
Now the Muslims use those oil dollars to bribe the deep state.
613 Jewish commandments?
That sounds quite demanding. How do you remember that many and how they apply to day to day life?
It is extremely hard to follow the 613 Jewish commandments. Jews have a Divine commandment to study them and to know all their details. This is why non-Jews are not obligated to convert. One cannot undo an Orthodox conversion. If a person sees that 613 commandments are too hard, he has no way of going back.
I disagree bro. Imagine that. All he has to say, is I go back, and he goes back. Its quite simple really.
By the way, I also disagreed with your plan to have an eternal portion in the future world to come. You say you dont need to be perfect, but others have shown you that you do. Either you are in a bit of a pickle, or we are going to have to reach our eternal portion in the future world to come, a different way. Oh my goodness, being as I am from California, I just had a Eureka moment. (Eureka, California. Population 27,226) I just realized that not one, single, solitary person on earth, can keep ANY law, let alone, six hundred and some. So, because of my Eureka moment, I have come to the conclusion, that if you want an eternal portion in the future world to come, you better figure out a different way of doing it. Keeping laws, just aint gonna cut the mustard. I dont know why this is so hard to understand? I understand it perfectly, but then again, I have spiritual understanding. 👍🇵🇭😀🙀
I appreciate your disagreement. Torah is eternal. I did not write it :)
No, it was written by God, through the prophets. It tells about the coming Messiah, starting in Genesis 3:15, as God spoke directly to Adam and Eve, before they got their walking papers.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, again, others have told you, that you are not perfect. Since God requires perfection, in order for us to have our eternal portion of the future world to come, what on earth are you going to do? The only other alternative, is a really bad eternity in a burning lake of fire 🔥 My guess is, you probably dont look forward to that, but its coming, sure as the day is long. That brings me to the safe alternative. Jesus of Nazareth, the one you claim that started a new religion. I dont believe he did, in fact, I believe he was the one who spoke to Adam and Eve in Gen 3:15, before kicking them out of the garden. I believe God came to earth in the form of a man, to live the perfect life that we cant, and save us from ourselves. I am pretty sure you dont accept that. So be it. We have a choice. We can accept him as savior NOW, or face him as judge later. You can willingly bow the knee to him now, or unwillingly bow the knee to him later.
Where ever you spend eternity, is entirely up to you, but one thing you can never claim that no one ever told you the truth. I hope you enjoy your eternity bro. I know I will. 😆😄👍
I suspect we may have to agree to disagree on this issue. So be it bro.
Apparently not...

So how do you keep the Law without a consecrated, ordained priesthood to perform the proper sacrifices and without a consecrated temple at which to do them?
I will answer sincere questions about Torah. But I will not waste my time on debates.
What criteria do you use to determine sincerity?
