Thanks for the info. I went through that in the 70's but hadn't heard of it. Would like to read the book on Babbage, too, when I can find it.

>is there any place on Earth (outside of the USofA) where the Jew has prospered and assimilated?
Yes, most of Northern and Western Europe and it's colonies. There they are among their blood cousins, non-Jewish Israelites, the same ones that are paying the bills for the current nation Israel. Click on my Profile for the story.

You can make a case for your historical point, however, you must account for the "Holocost" that took place in Europe.

Yes, that's why I carefully worded it "... most of Northern and Western Europe and it's colonies."
In the mind of most Celtic scholars, contemporary Germany is not a Celtic country, although the lines between Slavic and Celtic don't seem as clearly drawn to me there as elsewhere. The name "Germany" came from the Celtic Germani tribe, which moved on north and westward long ago...
That said, in a broader sense much of the history of Europe over the millennia has been of wars between Celtic tribes.

...what I ment Hawk, was the religion in itself, not the crimes commited under the religion's fabricated umbrella of reasons, to attack western civilisation vestiges and justify their cowardly attacks.
Over the years, I have noticed a whole lot of religious postings, containing some, quite, vitriolic and condencending comments along the way, I might add. Hence my comment/posting against religion discussions.
You see,we were told that Islam is such a peace loving religion...

I still have a question about Europe's Non-Anti-Semitism. I think you take a geographic approach while I take a political approach. I mean that national governments of Europe do not and have not tolerated the Jew as they have been here in the USofA.

There are many peacefull muslims too, and they are the ones who must stop this madness. But they just won't. That is why we must show we know what is playing on the inside. If we confront them with the fact that we know about the way the militants think, maybe then the moderates will act. If we keep buying the lies they will never act.
If the muslims stop their own militants all this would not have happened.

You may be right. But I suppose it depends on which governments you select to analyze. How do you feel abou Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Ireland and England for example? Celic countries all.

To be fair ,Turkey accepted Jewish refugees after King Ferdinand of Spain ordered them out. One of Turkey's ambassadors also saved Jewish lives during the Holocaust of World War II.
Yeah, I guess that's because they wern't Armenians.

BUT PLENTY OF BULLETS. Unfortunaely not, thanks to 8 years of Clintonian loathing of the military. They don't even have enough 9mm to qualify with, unless they are slated for deployment soon. Situtation with other stores is little better. An unlike 9mm and other small arms ammunition, precision weapons, aircraft, tanks and such take a good long time to aquire, from order to delievry.

Islam was originally a religion of Peace. I think not, it was spread from it's very begining by the sword. Now other religions, once established, also were spread by the sword, but few by their founder and "prophet".

Wherever the church has been an established, state church, you will inevitably find something dishonorable in its history Which is exactly what is wrong in the Islamic countries. Their "holy men" are also Politicians, men of secular power, like Cardinal Richelieu (sic) and scores of others. It's not that way in Turkey, inspite of the efforts of the more fundamentalist among them, and they get along with the rest of world, save the Greeks pretty well (The antipath for the Greeks is more historical than religious, although there was a religous component too of course.). Religion can guide or influence the State, when it becomes the State, head for the hills, or the caves as in Heinlien's "If this goes On".

What I was referring to was the fact that when Islam first spread through the Arab population of Israel, the Jews were allowed to practice their own religion and live separately from the Muslims. I forget which country was ruling Israel at the time. The peace may have been more a result of an outside ruler, than a peaceful Muslim population.

I'm told it was two Pakistani's Pakistani's are not Arabs,and derive the benefit, such as it is, of British educational and cultural influence. Plus being somewhat humble after ruling the Indian Subcontinent for some year, of having their tushes kicked first by the Brits, and now several times by the Hindu and Sikh Indians. ALthough that seems to be wearing off, time for another ash kicking? Let's hope not, since large numbers in the region might end up as radioactive ash in the process.

As for kissing a rock, I don't get too upset about that. It's not the rock kising itself, tourists to Ireland, including my daughter, do that. It's the hypocrisy of doing that while at same time claiming to forbid idol worship and graven images and blowing up other people's religious and cultural icons that bites.

We'd be watching the Grand Wizards on TV stating that "KKK is peace". Instead the NRA helped arm and train some of its targets. Somehow after that, the boys in the white hoods seemed less interested in burning crosses in the yards of, or lynching, people that had the benefit of that help.
