If land is what they want, why don't they go after Jordan?

They tried this back in "Black September" of 1970, and King Hussein kicked their ass right out of the country. The irony is that for years Jordan and Palestine were essentially considered one and the same by everyone involved, but not after the failed coup attempt. Of course the Jordan monarchs today would never even consider allowing the P.L.O. terrorists back in, even though Jordan is still a majority Palestinian country.

Yes it's a jihad - but it's not directed just at the Jews -- it's directed at Christians too -- and prosperous, democratic cultures. Why do you believe bin Laden and his minions have attacked America. What do you suppose is his long term, strategic objective ?? Simply to stop us from supporting Israel ?? To spread Islam throughout the world ?? To seek economic domination over western cultures ?? To expand the borders of the Arab world ?? Do you believe it's as simple as he hates the Jews ??

I don't think so.

"Though I'm an American black, I'm not afraid to tell it like it is; Inner-city blacks are the American Palestinian refugees, and they are being used just like the so-called Palestinians are in the Middle East."

Horowitz pretty much comes to the same conclusion in his media-supressed book "Hating Whitey." Have you read it?

The History Channel last week aired a two night mini-series on the impact of ancient Egyptian religions on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It was fascinating to see ancient sites like the first Christian monestary, St. Anthony's, and the early churches established by the Coptic Christians of Egypt. But one detail glibly glossed over in the documentary was the so-called "tradition" of Islam to build mosques square in the center of sanctified Jewish and Christian sites - directly over them in many cases. The documentary depicted this sacriligious practice as quaint and ideosyncratic of Arab culture. They didn't dare call it what it is - profane desecration.

Wouldn't it be interesting to have someone who disagrees with Horowitz's analysis address his argument point by point, logically, and with concise, rational thought?

If you think his analyis is inaccurate, I, for one, would be very interested to hear where you disagree with what he has said, logically and with conscise rational thought.

Absolutely right! The predominantly Christian west should realize that the Jews are in the front lines right now - but the enemy of these militant Islamists is the death of the infidel - anyone who is not a Muslim. If they aren't stopped now, we will be dealing with them in New York, London and Paris.

This traitorous SOB Horowitz is walking around free.

Thank you for proving my favorite adage: "No one is useless: You can always serve as a bad example."

. . Nazis of the Middle East.

Only place where I mildly disagree with Horowitz. Actually the nazis had a sense of shame and located their concentration camps in the most remote areas possible. To this day, their apologists (including Noam Chomsky) try to deny their existence.

The Islamist nazis, on the other hand, are proud of the devil's work which they do and put it on public display for all to see and to inspire and motivate future butchers of the innocent.

Bump for a later read...

And just how is Horowitz a "traitor?" Explain this in detail. I'm all ears.

[oldcodger]

Thanks for the ping. Yes, that is a great read indeed.

Articles like this make me appreciate Free Republic - and Freepers like you who let me know about these articles.
