Freedom

Teri, I don't see that as a personal attack, Neb is far from the truth

----------------------------- quote Unreal that was in the Washington Post! I rarely read the Washington Post for stories for Worthy News because of its VERY liberal slant --------------------------------- Yep, sooner or later even Neb will be forced to see the truth.

Iran's Hezbollah (located in lebonon) has said there will NEVER be peace with Israel, regardless of concessions made by Israel they will fight until every last Israeli is dead. (sounds like some of Neb's friends)

Arafat's Harvest of Hate By Charles Krauthammer Tuesday, March 26, 2002; Page A19 Sept. 11 awakened Americans to the anti-American vitriol in the state-controlled media of such apparently friendly states as Egypt and Saudi Arabia. We are just beginning to understand how a daily diet of hatred fed through schools and the media -- a hatred quietly incubating for years -- found its most perfect expression in the slaughter of Sept. 11. We have failed, however, to see how a similar campaign of hate has laid the groundwork for the orgy of murder-suicide the Palestinians are now engaged in. A mother appears on videotape proudly sending her 18-year-old to his death just so he can kill as many Jews as possible. This is unprecedented. Before the Oslo peace accords of 1993, suicide bombing was a practice almost unheard of among Palestinians. And it is not as if they had no grievances before 1993. On the contrary. The advent of suicide bombing coincides precisely with the era of Israeli conciliation and peacemaking: recognition of the PLO, repeated concessions of territory, establishment of the Palestinian Authority, acceptance of an armed Palestinian police -- all culminating in the unprecedented offer of an independent Palestinian state with its capital in a shared Jerusalem. It is precisely in the context of the most accommodating, most conciliatory, most dovish Israeli policy in history that the suicide bombings took hold. Where, then, did they come from? During the past eight years -- the years of the Oslo "peace process" -- Yasser Arafat had complete control of all the organs of Palestinian education and propaganda. It takes an unspeakable hatred for people to send their children to commit Columbine-like murder-suicide. Arafat taught it. His television, his newspapers, his clerics have inculcated an anti-Semitism unmatched in virulence since Nazi Germany. When U.S. peace negotiator Dennis Ross stepped down last year, he acknowledged, to his credit, that a major error of diplomacy in the Clinton years was turning a diplomatic blind eye to the poisonous incitement in Palestinian media. Just as Osama bin Laden spent the '90s indoctrinating and infiltrating in preparation for murder, Arafat raised an entire generation schooled in hatred of the "Judeo-Nazis." This indoctrination goes far beyond expunging Israel, literally, from Palestinian maps. It goes far beyond denying, indeed ridiculing, the Holocaust as a Jewish fantasy. It consists of the rawest incitement to murder, as in this sermon by Arafat-appointed and Arafat-funded Ahmad Abu Halabiya broadcast live on official Palestinian Authority television early in the Intifada. The subject is "the Jews." (Note: not the Israelis, but the Jews.) "They must be butchered and killed, as Allah the Almighty said: 'Fight them: Allah will torture them at your hands.' . . . Have no mercy on the Jews, no matter where they are, in any country. Fight them, wherever you are. Wherever you meet them, kill them." The rationale offered for such murderousness is Jewish villainy as taught not just in Palestine but throughout the Arab world. On March 10, for example, an article in the official Saudi newspaper al-Riyadh described in rich detail how the Jews ritually slaughter Christian and Muslim children to use their blood in their holiday foods. With almost comic pseudo-scholarship, it explained that for one holiday (Purim) the Jew must kill an adolescent, but for Passover the victim must be 10 years or younger. When the article achieved wide notoriety in translation, the editor apologized under pressure. He said he had been out of town when the article appeared. An odd excuse, given the fact that this elaborate blood libel ran as a two-part series. A precondition for peace is to prepare your people for peace. Egypt's Anwar Sadat did that after signing his peace treaty with Israel. The Israelis did that after signing Oslo. They changed their textbooks and altered their civic culture to recognize and accept the Palestinians. On the 50th anniversary of Israel's independence, for example, Israel Television aired an epic multipart historical documentary that offered a view of the Palestinians that was deeply sympathetic and understanding. While Israeli leaders, both political and intellectual, were preparing their people for peace, Arafat was preparing his people for war -- the war he unleashed two months after rejecting Israel's Camp David peace offer of July 2000 -- with an unrelenting campaign of anti-Semitic vilification carried out by every organ of his media. And how he has succeeded. When Arafat's state-controlled media glorify a "martyrdom operation," it is not just a commendation of the murderer, it is a vindication of their own pedagogy. We now see its fruits in the streets of Jerusalem, where the blood from the latest suicide bombing graces the third floor of surrounding buildings.

sorry Prime

Would you like your Arafat regular or extra crispy?

The all new Arafat

Teri, I agree 100% I pray that more will be saved then lost.

I also agree with Prime. No reason to let it return to what it was once it is cleaned up. I would also ask that they allow freedom of religion.

By golly Prime, there is hope for you yet!!!! We don't stone sinners Prime, because the bible doesn't teach us to, Christ changed all of that BEFORE the quran was even written. If a muslim is going to try and do as the Koran teaches, then they will kill infidels that will not convert. Because that is what Mohammed taught them to do. The peaceful muslims are like the lukewarm Christians, that say there is a God, but I'm too busy to be bothered with all that right now, because life is taxing. Once these muslims decide to get serious about their god, then they are a threat to all NON muslims. Christ taught a different Gospel all together. His was truely based on love.

Fair? I don't know if I could send my son out to die for alot of people that didn't care about me or not. He's never cheated me. He's never lied to me. He's been there for me when no one else was. He's shaped me. He's molded me. He's continues with His work on me even now. To call Him "fair" would be to short Him, and to say He is Awesome would still be an understatement. So I'll just say, try Him, You'll like it )

and ignorance is bliss

So who's your source? Arafat or Saddam?

A source for your information would be nice, otherwise one might suspect it was the communist daily.

"Whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all" (James 2:10). The moral law does not consider our weaknesses as human beings; in fact, it does not take into account our heredity or infirmities. It simply demands that we be absolutely moral. The moral law never changes, either for the highest of society or for the weakest in the world. It is enduring and eternally the same. The moral law, ordained by God, does not make itself weak to the weak by excusing our shortcomings. It remains absolute for all time and eternity. If we are not aware of this, it is because we are less than alive. Once we do realize it, our life immediately becomes a fatal tragedy. "I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died" (Romans 7:9). The moment we realize this, the Spirit of God convicts us of sin. Until a person gets there and sees that there is no hope, the Cross of Christ remains absurd to him. Conviction of sin always brings a fearful, confining sense of the law. It makes a person hopeless
