Media and Religion today

How does the lack of competition provide for more accurate, reputable, and reliable information? I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are trying to get at.

I would venture to say there were many Nazis that were indeed very good people on the inside. Oscar Schindler being an example. Instead of a political party running 1 country (Germany) just before WWII, its a religion that exists in almost every country. Now muslims disagree on alot of things in their religion. That's why you have Shia and Sunni, who like to kill each other. But there's 1 thing that unites the entire religion: Fighting against Israel.Again, we aren't there yet. But that's where we are headed. Edited by Tal, : No reason given.

Wil kill for a Nobel Peace Prize

Tal made this claim in another thread.I couldn't find anything to back up his version. However if you look for plastic keys rather than gold ones you can find loads of references such as this one from The New Republic.Although I could can find lots of reports I can't find anything to actually verify the story that 'human waves' of children were used to clear minefields - there are references to an unamed 'East European reporter' who saw it but that's about it.The link I put in takes you to a page where you have to be a subscriber to read the whole article, but if you put "Ahmadinejad's Demons" into Google the first hit will take you to the whole article directly.

Oops! Wrong Planet

Thanks, Tiger.For some reason, I don't seem to be able to get the hang of Google. I really seem to have a hard time using it to find anything useful.The article was written by Matthias Kntzel, who is a member of the Scholars for Peace in the Middle East which, along with The New Repbulic, appear to be apologists for Israel policy.On the other hand, Kntzel also appears to be a legitimate academic.At any rate, I also am having a difficult time getting information about these "children" being used as human mine clearers beyond people just saying that it happened. It is possible, I guess -- it would be consistent with Iran "human wave" tactics against Iraqi positions. Still, calling teen-agers "children" seems...odd to me. The obvious appeal to emotion along with that these claims seem to be confined to pro-Israel policy sites leads me to maintain at least some doubt.

"These monkeys are at once the ugliest and the most beautiful creatures on the planet./ And the monkeys don't want to be monkeys; they want to be something else./ But they're not."
-- Ernie Cline

You seem to be missing the forest for all the trees. Take a step back. This is common practice. Palestinians send thier kids to blow themselves up rather regularly with the promise of 72 virgins and lots of money for each Jew that they kill. That money used to come from Saddam, but the US and GBR took care of that. The point here is to explain why this female would blow up her 6 month old baby on the planes leaving GBR last week. I know I couldn't hurt my kids, but these people don't care because their children will be going to paradise. If they strap C-4 around thier kids today, does it take that big of a logical leap to think they would do it to clear mines a couple of decades ago?Again, what a baby is going to do with 72 virgins is beyond me.

A) Members of the Muslim religion should not be compared to Nazi's (though that's in vogue), andB) There are many Palestinians and Israeli Arabs who don't want to see Israel destroyed, thus not uniting the WHOLE religion.Where is your evidence for this war that's coming? Or is this another baseless conservative claim such as WMDs? I, and hopefully a few others, will not give you the benefit of the doubt on such a white-washing claim against followers of Islam.Au revoir,
Theus

A) Germans had values like any other society. After Hitler came into power the populace was desensitized by indoctrinating them and their children.Hitler Youth Hezbos Youth Hamas Youth B)What do you base this assessment on? The Palestinians teach their kids hate.

This is what they teach thier children. Now I would like you to show me examples of Palestinians that want to live in harmony with Israel.

According to philologists and critics, the actual translation is 'raisins,' not virgins. They will recieve 72 white raisins according to the Qur'an.http://www.rense.com/general45/islamafter.htm

“If chance be the father of all flesh then disaster is his rainbow in the sky. And when you hear of, state of emergencies, sniper kills ten, youths go looting, bomb blasts school, it is but the sound of man worshipping his maker” -Steve Turner

I heard it translated "72 white flowers" from a native of Baghdad. I hope Satan has a dozen white roses for them when they get to hell.

Wil kill for a Nobel Peace Prize

Of course, even with all that strife, there's one thing that unites Jews, Christians, and Muslims: hating gays. Rabbi: ‘Holy Land, not Homo Land’

quote:

---

The international gay pride parade is set to take place in Jerusalem next month, much to the ire of groups that had, up until now, little to unite them.

​

Orthodox Jews, Moslems and Christians have banded together to try to prevent this convergence of gays and lesbians from all over the world for a week of activities in Israel’s capital.

​

Believers in Jerusalem have held several citywide prayer meetings regarding the parade, while rabbis and Moslem sheikhs held a mutual news conference decrying the event, including Levin and Arab party Knesset Member Ibrahim Sarsur. At least 45 parliament members signed a petition against the parade.

​

“This is the holy land, not the homo land,” Rabbi Yehuda Levin, a moral activist from America, who came to Israel to stir a charge against the parade, told Israel Today. “The militants are as dangerous as Hamas. And they’re every bit as dangerous as Nazis to religious people.”

And, hey, if you read the comments, you can see Tal's buddies expressing their solidarity with their Jihadist brethren on this issue.I don't see any fundamental problem with the facts as Tal is presenting them, at least in part. It's absolutely true that jihadist groups are indoctrinating children to hate and to kill. Of course, his implication that it's just Muslim jhadists that are doing it is absolutely false:Seriously, though. "Not the homo land." That gets me every time. It would be absolutely freakin' hilarious if not for the fact that, as an atheist who can see no moral problem with homosexuality, all three of these convergent religions are equally adamant that I be "turned or burned", as I think they put it.

Load of old cobbler`s if you read the rebuttal on the same page of that link

For a little perspective...

The media is big business.It is an inescapable part of modern society.Communication is evolving in the information age that we now live in, however.Sharing your story with us made more of an impact on me than either CNN or Fox has been able to do in their reports on the current Lebanese conflict.Thanks!
