Legends ">MYTH:"Arabs cannot believably be anti-Semitic as they are themselves Semites."FACT:The designation "anti-Semite" was coined in Germany in 1879 by Wilhelm Marrih to reduce to the anti-Jewish manifestations of the time period and to provide Jew-hatred a above technological sounding name. "Anti-Semitism" has been renowned and voiceless to mean abhorrence of the Jewish human race. Dictionaries define the designation as: "Conclude, action, or practice directed against the Jews" and "Animosity towards Jews as a priestly or racial minority group, repeatedly accompanied by outgoing, economic and opinionated sentence."The assertion that Arabs as "Semites" cannot believably be anti-Semitic is a semantic distortion that ignores the reality of Arab sentence and antagonism just before Jews. Arabs, so any other human race, can honestly be anti-Semitic."The Arab world is the bear up sanctuary of unimpeded, unashamed, unhidden and unimaginable anti-Semitism. Hitlerian myths get published in the inside force as not able to be forfeited truths. The Holocaust either gets minimized or denied....How the Arab world strength of mind ever come to provisions with Israel as soon as Israelis are portrayed as the devil humanize is jagged to passage out."~~Columnist Richard Cohen~~ Washington Mound, (October 30, 2001).MYTH:"Modern Arab nations are truly anti-Israel and handle never been anti-Jewish."FACT:Arab leaders handle repetitively ready precise their animosity just before Jews and Judaism. For paradigm, on November 23, 1937, Saudi Arabia's King Ibn Saud told British Colonel H.R.P. Dickson: "Our abhorrence for the Jews dates from God's reprimand of them for their persecution and rebuff of Isa (Jesus) and their back rebuff of His to be Forward planner." He added "that for a Muslim to slaughter a Jew, or for him to be killed by a Jew ensures him an short-lived delight in the field of Heaven and in the field of the grand apparition of God Almighty."The same as Hitler introduced the Nuremberg racial laws in 1935, he usual telegrams of congratulation from all corners of the Arab world. Considering, because of the war, one of his utmost forceful constituency was the Mufti of Jerusalem.Jews were never endorsed to postpone in Jordan. Reverential Law No. 6, which governed the Jordanian-occupied West Start, states explicitly: "Any man strength of mind be a Jordanian minion if he is not Jewish."The Arab countries see to it that even ecological schoolchildren are taught to hate Jews. The Syrian Member of the clergy of Coaching wrote in 1968: "The abhorrence which we beat in the field of the minds of our children from their jerk is sacred."Formerly the Six-Day War in 1967, the Israelis found party school textbooks that had been recycled to instruct in Arab children in the West Start. They were satiated with racist and distasteful portrayals of Jews:"The Jews are scattered to the ends of the earth, where they postpone exiled and loathed, what by their natural world they are discreditable, avaricious and enemies of mankind, by their natural world they were tempted to capture a land as place of protection for their make uncomfortable."Compute the stakeout sentences:1. The hawker himself traveled to the African continent.2. We shall exclude all the Jews from the Arab countries.""The Jews of our time are the everyday of the Jews who harmed the Forward planner Muhammad. They betrayed him, they poor the concurrence with him and united sides with his enemies to disagreement him...""The Jews in Europe were aggrieved and loathed for example of their disease, trivial-mindedness and dishonesty."A 1977 Jordanian teachers' encyclopedia for first-graders recycled on the West Start instructs educators to "graft in the ghost of the partisan the theory of Islam that if the enemies maintain even one inch of the Islamic lands, jihad (holy war) becomes deliver a verdict for every Muslim." It each says the Jews plotted to kill Muhammad as soon as he was a child. New-found Jordanian make a copy, a 1982 outgoing studies book, claims Israel recurrent the kill of Palestinians in Sabra and Shatila because of the Lebanon war, but does not increase the Christian Arabs who were the perpetrators."We handle found books with passages that are so anti-Semitic, that if they were published in Europe, their publishers would be brought up on anti-racism charges."~~French lawyer and European Senate fanatic Francois Zimeray~~Commenting on Palestinian, Syrian and Egyptian texts, Jerusalem Mound, (October 16, 2001).According to a study of Syrian textbooks, "the Syrian elevating series expands abhorrence of Israel and Zionism to anti-Semitism directed at all Jews. That anti-Semitism evokes ancient Islamic motifs to justify the resolution and unreliable natural world of the Jews. Its encoded wrap up is that all Jews qualification be annihilated." To citation one paradigm, an eleventh slice textbook claims that Jews not accepted Muslims and were provoked by protectiveness to courtyard antagonism against them:The Jews meager no application to pull the wool over somebody's eyes us, turn your back on our Forward planner, courtyard against us, and mark the holy scriptures.The Jews games with the Polytheist and the infidels against the Muslims for example they know Islam reveals their conniving ways and abject characteristics.An Arabic description of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf has been distributed in East Jerusalem and territories ready by the Palestinian Put away (PA) and became a bestseller.At times, Arab anti-Semitism surfaces at the United Nations. In Dispute 1991, for paradigm, a Syrian commend to the UN At all Responsibility for Casing read a publication recommending that state of affairs members read "a sweetheart book" called The Matzoh of Zion, on paper by Syrian Explain Member of the clergy Mustafa Tlas. The book justifies ritual murder charges brought against the Jews in the Damascus blood defame of 1840. (The name "blood defame" refers to accusations that Jews slaughter Christian children to use their blood for the ritual of making matzoh at Passover.)King Faisal of Saudi Arabia expressed a comparable criticize in a 1972 interview:Israel has had connote intentions what ancient time. Its home in on is the scratch of all other religions....They regard the other religions as put down than their own and other peoples as deprived to their level. And on the minion of arch-rival - they handle a inflexible day on which they mix the blood of non-Jews in the field of their bread and eat it. It happened that two existence ago, spell I was in Paris on a bother, that the order bare five murdered children. Their blood had been worn out, and it turned out that some Jews had murdered them in order to surprise their blood and mix it with the bread that they eat on this day. This shows you what is the degree of their abhorrence and harm just before non-Jewish peoples.On November 11, 1999, because of a Gaza next with Preparatory Peer of the realm Hillary Rodham Clinton, Suha Arafat, companion of Palestinian Put away Chairman Yasser Arafat stated: "Our human race handle been subjected to the daily and rife use of nasty gas by the Israeli armed forces, which has led to an progress in corruption bags and women and children." Airless specious allegations handle been ready by other Palestinian officials.The Arab/Muslim force, which is roughly exclusively ready by the governments in each Method Eastern nation, to the beat situation anti-Semitic articles and cartoon strips. At the moment, it deposit recognized to find anti-Semitic publications in Egypt. For paradigm, the join Al-Ahram periodical published an phenomenon role the "former" stuff of the blood defame tradition spell fault-finding Israel of using the blood of Palestinian children to knock together matzohs up to the make up time. Anti-Semitic articles each to the beat consider in the force in Jordan and Syria. Bountiful of the attacks become infected with with rejection of the Holocaust, its "abuse" by Zionism, and a analogy of Zionism and Israel to Nazism.Egyptian Rag Al-Ahram, (May 23, 1998)In November 2001, a intense mockery aired on the blink utmost inside observe housing in the Arab world, which depicted a sort predestined to be Ariel Sharon spending the blood of Arab children as a grotesque-looking Ensign Jew looked on. Abu Dhabi Television each aired a mockery in which Dracula appears to surprise a test out of Sharon, but dies for example Sharon's blood is soil. Protests that these shows were anti-Semitic were overlooked by the trap.The Palestinian Authority's media handle each understood rabble-rousing and anti-Semitic physical. A Friday discourse in the Zayed bin Sultan Aal Nahyan mosque in Gaza craft for the murder of Jews and Americans was partition postpone on the certified Palestinian Put away television:Take no leniency on the Jews, no factor where they are, in any majestic. Wrangle them, someplace you are. Somewhere you understand them, slaughter them. Somewhere you are, slaughter fill with Jews and fill with Americans who are so them and fill with who stand by them they are all in one control, against the Arabs and the Muslims for example they committed Israel portray, in the beating strength of the Arab world, in Palestine....Continual Palestinian crossword puzzles are recycled to delegitimize Israel and destroy Jews, rescue clues, for paradigm, suggestive of the Jewish part is "dishonesty.""Syrian Person in charge Bashar Assad on Saturday [May 5] unfilled a graphic, if discreditable, pageant of why he and his running are worthless of style or good interaction with the United States or any other uncensored majestic. Salutation Pope John Paul II in Damascus, Mr. Assad launched an destroy on Jews that may collection as the utmost not conversant and inappropriate speech delivered preceding the pope in his two decades of travel speak the world. Comparing the test of the Palestinians to that of Jesus Christ, Mr. Assad supposed that the Jews 'tried to slaughter the morals of all religions with the same take offense in which they betrayed Jesus Christ and the same way they tried to mislead and slaughter the Forward planner Muhammad.' Along with that defame, the Syrian top corrupted all his majestic and the pope...."~~Washington Mound paragraph, (May 8, 2001)~~MYTH:"Jews who lived in Islamic countries were well-treated by the Arabs."FACT:For example Jewish communities in Islamic countries fared outdo all told than fill with in Christian lands in Europe, Jews were no strangers to persecution and dishonor and the Arabs. As Princeton College historian Bernard Lewis has written: "The Golden Age of free job was a myth, and belief in it was a go behind, above than a kind, of Jewish concern for Islam."Muhammad, the founder of Islam, traveled to Medina in 622 A.D. to attract attendants to his new group. The same as the Jews of Medina refused to let know Muhammad as their Forward planner, two of the major Jewish tribes were barred. In 627, Muhammad's attendants killed amongst 600 and 900 of the men, and separated the current Jewish women and children with themselves.The Muslim deal with just before Jews is reflected in mottled verses available the Koran, the holy book of the Islamic group. "They [the Mope of Israel] were consigned to dishonor and emptiness. They brought the fury of God upon themselves, and this for example they recycled to turn your back on God's signs and slaughter His Prophets unfairly and for example they disobeyed and were transgressors" (Sura 2:61). According to the Koran, the Jews try to train disease (5:64), handle always been flawed (5:78), and are enemies of Allah, the Forward planner and the angels (2:97-98).Jews were taken as a whole viewed with contempt by their Muslim neighbors; calm coexistence amongst the two groups in action the subordination and loss of face of the Jews. In the ninth century, Baghdad's Caliph al-Mutawakkil nominated a orangey badge for Jews, fix a example that would be followed centuries progressive in Nazi Germany.At mottled time, Jews in Muslim lands lived in appropriate settlement and thrived culturally and carefully. The prestige of the Jews was never property, however, and changes in the opinionated or outgoing conditions would repeatedly lead to persecution, violence and death. The same as Jews were supposed as having achieved too adapted a prestige in Islamic faction, anti-Semitism would thin covering, repeatedly with shattering have a row. On December 30, 1066, Joseph HaNagid, the Jewish vizier of Granada, Spain, was crucified by an Arab mob that proceeded to smooth the Jewish environs of the city and beat its 5,000 populace. The disturbance was driven by Muslim preachers who had intensely objected to what they saw as stately Jewish opinionated power.By the same token, in 1465, Arab mobs in Fez slaughtered thousands of Jews, neglect truly 11 made flesh, following a Jewish emissary vizier treated a Muslim man in "an unenviable stance." The killings touched off a wave of comparable massacres available Morocco.Elderly group murders of Jews in Arab lands occurred in Morocco in the 8th century, where whole communities were wiped out by the Muslim prime minister Idris I; North Africa in the 12th century, where the Almohads either brusquely converted or decimated various communities; Libya in 1785, where Ali Burzi Pasha murdered hundreds of Jews; Algiers, where Jews were massacred in 1805, 1815 and 1830; and Marrakesh, Morocco, where above than 300 hundred Jews were murdered amongst 1864 and 1880.Decrees ordering the scratch of synagogues were enacted in Egypt and Syria (1014, 1293-4, 1301-2), Iraq (854-859, 1344) and Yemen (1676). Nevertheless the Koran's stoppage, Jews were obliged to twist to Islam or direction death in Yemen (1165 and 1678), Morocco (1275, 1465 and 1790-92) and Baghdad (1333 and 1344).The point of Jews in Arab lands reached a low small piece in the 19th century. Jews in utmost of North Africa (by means of Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Morocco) were obliged to postpone in ghettos. In Morocco, which understood the prime Jewish community in the Islamic Diaspora, Jews were ready to ramble on barefoot or wear shoes of straw as soon as detached the ghetto. Continual Muslim children participated in the loss of face of Jews, by throwing stones at them or harassing them in other ways. The popularity of anti-Jewish violence improved, and plentiful Jews were executed on charges of apostasy. Introduction murder accusations against the Jews became run of the mill in the Ottoman Family.As grand Orientalist G.E. von Grunebaum has written:It would not be thorny to put together the names of a very roomy be incorporated Jewish subjects or the social order of the Islamic descent who handle attained to high collection, to power, to terrible money-making influence, to terrific and obvious bookish attainment; and the same might be done for Christians. But it would anew not be thorny to calm down a lingering list of persecutions, random confiscations, attempted obliged conversions, or pogroms.The distress for Jews became even big as a showdown approached in the UN. The Syrian commend, Faris el-Khouri, warned: "Unless the Palestine get tangled is granted, we shall handle see in distrustful and protection the Jews in the Arab world."In addition than a thousand Jews were killed in anti-Jewish rioting because of the 1940's in Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Syria and Yemen.31 This helped inspire the group exodus of Jews from Arab countries.MYTH:"As human race of the Degree,' Jews and Christians are fasten under Islamic law."FACT:This battle is fixed in the traditional conception of the "dhimma" ("order of protection"), which was lingering by Muslim conquerors to Christians and Jews in interchange for their subordination to the Muslims. Yet, as French decide Jacques Ellul has observed: "One qualification ask: fasten against whom?' The same as this interloper lives in Islamic countries, the consequence can truly be: against the Muslims themselves."Peoples subjected to Muslim theory routinely had a higher amongst death and trade, but Jews and Christians, who adhered to the Scriptures, were routinely approved, as dhimmis (fasten dwell in), to practice their group. This "protection" did run down, however, to walk in the park that Jews and Christians were treated well by the Muslims. On the unfavorable, an fixed aspect of the dhimma was that, hub an infidel, he had to respond to of course the difficulty of the true supporter - the Muslim.In the early existence of the Islamic defeat, the "tribute" (or jizya), rewarded as a twelve-monthly seek tax, symbolized the subordination of the dhimmi.Considering, the deprived attitude of Jews and Christians was unbreakable shortest a series of cipher that governed the routine of the dhimmi. Dhimmis, on twinge of death, were banned to mockery or fault the Koran, Islam or Muhammad, to proselytize and Muslims, or to ambiance a Muslim man (even if a Muslim man might surprise a non-Muslim as a companion).Dhimmis were barred from party turn-off and armed service, and were banned to storage arms. They were not approved to continue collection or camels, to build synagogues or churches taller than mosques, to kind houses above than fill with of Muslims or to plan wine in party. They were obliged to wear person clothing and were not approved to pray or mourn in lippy voices - as that make disappoint the Muslims. The dhimmi each had to fly party worship just before Muslims; for paradigm, always spineless them the focus of the road. The dhimmi was not approved to provide evidence in sensible against a Muslim, and his self-possession was disallowed in an Islamic sensible. To watch over himself, the dhimmi would handle to sort out Muslim witnesses at terrible expense. This vanished the dhimmi with run down legitimate recourse as soon as harmed by a Muslim.By the twentieth century, the attitude of the dhimmi in Muslim lands had not highly enlarged. H.E.W. Sea green, British Infirmity Consul in Mosul, wrote in 1909:The deal with of the Muslims just before the Christians and the Jews is that of a master towards slaves, whom he treats with a inflexible lordly tolerance so crave as they stash away their place. Any sign of self-importance to similitude is promptly repressed.35MYTH:"Muslim schools in the United States teach tolerance of Judaism and other faiths, and set off coexistence with Israel."FACT:For example it is substantial that plentiful Muslim schools in Arab and Islamic countries beat students with abhorrence of Jews and Israel, it was truly solely revealed that comparable experience are rise in in the United States. Islamic schools in Virginia, for paradigm, handle maps of the Method East in their classrooms that are wanting Israel. On one map, Israel was blackened out and replaced with "Palestine." An 11th slice textbook teaches that one sign of the Day of Assessment strength of mind be that Muslims strength of mind disagreement and slaughter Jews, who strength of mind coat recent trees that say, "Oh Muslim, Oh servant of God, portray is a Jew hitting recent me. Blow portray and slaughter him."The attacks are not truly against Jews, but each Christians. Students are taught, for paradigm that the Day of Assessment won't come until Jesus Christ salary to Dust, breaks the include, and converts someone to Islam.The unique schools are legally approved to teach doesn't matter what they target as crave as they understand expression requests.A Los Angeles Muslim foundation insinuated comparable distasteful views in the field of the party schools. The Omar Ibn Khattab Center donated 300 copies of a description of the Koran that understood footnotes recitation Jews as "brassy" and "human race fading group."37 Formerly discovering the anti-Semitic passages, the books were unsophisticated.

MUSLIMS DEMAND GERMANY "MAKE ISLAM EQUAL TO CHRISTIANITY"

Be the first of your friends to like this. Muslims attending the German Islam Conference were apparently offended by the insinuation that Islam could be radical or violent. A major conference on German-Muslim relations has ended in failure after Muslims attending the event refused to acknowledge the government's concerns about the threats to security posed by radical Islam.
German Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich had wanted the eighth annual German Islam Conference, held in Berlin on May 7, to focus on finding ways the government could work together with "moderate" Muslims in Germany to combat Islamism and extremism.
But Muslims attending the gathering were apparently offended by the insinuation that Islam could be radical or violent, and demanded instead that the German government take steps to make "Islam equal to Christianity" in Germany.
The German Islam Conference was launched by former Interior Minister Wolfgang Sch"auble in 2006, and has been billed as the "central forum for dialogue" between German politicians and representatives of the estimated 4.3 million Muslims now living in Germany.
The stated aim of the annual event -- where Muslim organizations and individuals are invited to sit at the table with representatives from federal, state and local government -- is to promote Muslim integration into German society.
This year's event was focused around three main themes: institutional cooperation between Muslims and the German state; gender equality as a common value, and prevention of extremism, radicalization and social polarization.
Muslims attending the conference evidently wanted to focus only on the first theme, which included "promoting the introduction of comprehensive Islamic religious instruction in public schools, including through conferences and publications." Although the government has already made many concessions in this regard, Muslims complained about German "interference" in selecting the teachers who provide Islam training in German schools.
In respect to the second theme -- gender equality -- the German government had hoped to find solutions to the problems of honor violence and forced marriage. But Muslims refused even to acknowledge any connection between Islam and forced marriage. Instead, they managed to turn the gender issue on its head by demanding that German employers promise not to discriminate against Muslim women who want to wear burkas to work.
The third theme -- the prevention of Islamic extremism and radicalization -- undoubtedly caused the most controversy at this year's conference.
Interior Minister Friedrich had been hoping to enlist the support and cooperation of Muslims at the conference to help in the fight against the radicalization of young Muslims in Germany.
Since taking office in 2011, Friedrich has led Germany's multifaceted response (here, hereand here) to the rise of radical Islam there. Friedrich and other German security officials are increasingly concerned about the threat posed by home-grown terrorists inspired by Islamic extremists, who openly state that they want to establish Islamic Sharia law in Germany and across Europe. (A recent pollfound that more than half of all Germans view Islam as a threat to their country and believe it does not belong in the Western world.)
But Muslims were perceptibly furious when Friedrich refused to give in to their demands to drop discussion of security-related aspects of Islam at this year's conference.
The director of inter-religious dialogue at the Turkish-Islamic Union for Islamic Affairs[T"urkisch-Islamische Union der Anstalt f"ur Religion (DITIB)], Bekir Alboga, complained that Friedrich had rendered the conference "pointless" by bringing "security policy themes too far to the fore." Alboga saidthe German Islam Conference "makes no more sense in its current form. I do not see any genuine partnership." He added that "we [Muslims] do not want to be seen as being a security factor."
In a speechhe delivered at the conference, Alboga used logical gymnastics to blame Germany of promoting "extremism and radicalization" by not doing enough to stop "Islamophobia."
Later, in an interview with the German news agency Deutsche Welle, Alboga said he was hoping that German Chancellor Angela Merkel would be defeated in federal elections in September 2013 so that the Muslim-German dialogue could continue in a more positive way with a new government led by the more Muslim-friendly Social Democrats. "I yearn for a real partnership," he said.
It should be noted that Alboga's DITIB is a branch of the Turkish government, which controls over 900 mosques in Germany. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has long used DITIB to dissuade Turkish immigrants from integrating into German society.
Alboga's complaints were echoed by the Secretary-General of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany[Zentralrats der Muslime in Deutschland (ZMD)], Aiman Mazyek, who said the Islam conference "urgently needs a general overhaul" because it is not a "dialogue among equals."
The head of the Turkish Community in Germany[T"urkische Gemeinde in Deutschland (TGD)], Kenan Kolat, called on the German government to create a new Integration Ministry that would take the responsibility for organizing the German Islam Conference away from the Interior Ministry.
The director of the Islamic Council of Germany [Islamrats f"ur die Bundesrepublik Deutschland (IR)], Ali Kizilkaya, described the German Islam Conference as "a train heading in the wrong direction" because the event is built on "security concerns and mistrust."
The center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD), eager to court disgruntled Muslim voters in a desperate bid to unseat Merkel this fall, has jumped on the anti-Friedrich bandwagon with enthusiasm.
The Interior Minister of Lower Saxony, the SPD's Boris Pistorius, accused Friedrich of fomenting "Islamophobia" by making "insensitive comments." Pistorius said the original goal of the German Islam Conference "was to talk about Islam" but Friedrich and his predecessor, Thomas de Maizi`ere, changed the focus to "security and terrorism" and this shift has "alienated" Muslim participants. Pistorius said that after the federal elections, a victorious SPD would re-conceptualize the conference by "carefully separating the concepts of Islam and Islamism."
The parliamentary secretary of the SPD, Thomas Oppermann, accused Friedrich of leading the Islam Conference to an impasse, and said, "We want to put the dialogue with Muslims on a new basis." The Integration Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, SPD politician Guntram Schneider, hinted at what such a "reorientation of the conference" might entail when he complained that the event did not address "Islamophobia."
Potential SPD coalition partners also joined the electioneering. Left Party politician Christine Friedrich Buchholz accused Friedrich of not being really interested in a genuine dialogue with Muslims. Green Party leader Renate K"unast said the conference needed a "reset" because Friedrich had "smashed too many dishes."
In any event, this is not the first time the German Islam Conference has ended in failure. The official focus of the conference in 2012 was to find ways to deal with the spiraling rates of forced marriages and domestic violence among Muslims in Germany.
But Muslim representatives attending that event were in no mood for compromise. Then, like now, they refused to accept responsibility for any of the innumerable irritants in German-Muslim relations. Instead, they insisted that the German government amend its "misguided" approach to Muslim integration.
The 2012 event ended without a joint press conference because of lingering Muslim pique at "offensive" comments that were allegedly uttered at the press conference that ended the 2011 event.

SCOTTISH UNIVERSITIES HOTBEDS OF ANTI-JEWISH SENTIMENT

Be the first of your friends to like this. The greatest problem to tackling anti-Jewish incitement is the denial that there is any such problem. The facts, as we have seen, tell a rather different story. A charity ball organized by the University of St. Andrew's Jewish Society, guarded by plain-clothes police officers, was held in secret last week after threats were made against staff at the original venue. The increasing security and secrecy surrounding this annual student event is an illustration of the sentiments aimed at Jewish students in Scotland.
The ball was originally supposed to be held at the Golf Hotel in St. Andrews, a small University town on the east coast of Scotland. After a campaign organized by the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, a number of threats were directed at the hotel's staff, and a number of violent comments were posted on social media, with one protester writing: "Friday we send them into hell."
The Golf Hotel cancelled the event over "safety concerns." One member of the Jewish student society said that the decision to cancel the event was "pathetic.... They [the Golf Hotel] had no right to violate their part of the contract. The Golf Hotel is scared of them. A victory does not come from bullying people into submission, it comes from engaging people and opening their minds."
Although activists from the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign [SPSC] were able to pressure the hotel into cancelling the charity ball, it was held secretly at another location, and raised over three times the amount of money for its nominated charities.
The SPSC offers a free book to all new members: Shlomo Sand's "The Invention of the Jewish People" -- a book the central argument of which is that the Jewish people, as a single collectivity, do not exist. Last year, the group also protested in support of a student at St. Andrews, Paul Donnachie, who was charged and found guilty of racially abusing a Jewish student.
In 2006, the SPSC commemorated Holocaust Memorial Day by performing a reading of "Perdition," a play that claims the Holocaust was a joint venture between Zionists and Nazis. In 2009, the group commemorated Holocaust Memorial Day by running an event with Azzam Tamimi, a spokespersonfor the terror group Hamas. And in 2010, the group reproduced the winning entry from Iran's offensive Holocaust cartoon competition of 2006.
Senior SPSC member John Wight has previously promoted a website called the "Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust." Wight has said: "As soon as the scales fall from the eyes of international Jewry with regard to the racist and fascist ideology that is Zionism, the world will begin to emerge from the iron heel of war and brutality in the Middle East."
Similarly, Edinburgh PSC chair Mike Napier has referenced a number of neo-Nazi websites in an article that vindicatedthe murder of eight Jewish students at a religious school in Jerusalem, on the grounds that the school is "the main educational and training centre of the fanatical Israeli settler movement," and that the students are taught to regard Gentiles as cattle and to use Arabs for "medical experiments" and to send "Arabs to the gas chambers."
The "We are all Hana Shalabi Network" also supported the protest against the St. Andrews Jewish Society. This group campaigns in support of Hana Shalabi, a member of the Palestinian terror group Islamic Jihad. In 2012, Shalabi visited Tehran as part of a delegation from the Islamic Jihad movement. In front of the Iranian leader Ayatollah Khamenei, Shalabi spoke of her commitment to "jihad and resistance" and praised the Iranian revolution in 1979 as the "beginning of a new era."
Across Scotland, Jewish students regard the line between anti-Israel activism and anti-Jewish incitement as wearing dangerously thin. Several months ago, a number of Jewish students the University of Edinburgh abandoned their courses because of the "toxic atmosphere" on campus.
Moreover, the University of Glasgow is a participant in a European Union-funded program, "Lifelong Learning in Palestine," in which the Islamic University of Gaza is one of the main beneficiaries. The Islamic University of Gaza is the "the brain trust and engine room of Hamas," the Palestinian terror group that rules Gaza. In 2008, Hamas was using the University to build explosives and rockets for use against Israeli civilians.
In 2011, security guards had to step in to protect Arab-Israeli diplomat Ishmael Khaldi at the University of Edinburgh, after a student mob surrounded him while screaming"Viva, Viva Palestina."
Increasingly, Jewish students' choice over which university to attend is influenced by the potency of anti-Israel sentiment. The Scottish Council of Jewish Communities has reported a rise in the number of inquiries from parents and potential students in the US and Europe about the safety of Jewish students.
In 2011, the British ambassador to Israel, Matthew Gould, claimedthat the image of Universities being "hotbeds of anti-Israel sentiment" was false. University authorities also downplaythe extent of the campus extremism. Last month, Baroness Warsi, the Minister of State for Faith and Communities, and Nicola Dandridge, the head of Universities UK, both claimedthat the problem of university extremism is greatly exaggerated. The facts, as we have seen, tell a rather different story.
The greatest obstacle to tackling anti-Jewish incitement is the denial that there is any such problem.

Talisman AEgishjalmur Helm of Terror, or Helm of Awe
From the ancient Islandic Viking era, one brand new Talisman (binding), the AEgishjalmur Helm of Terror. Size:.25 x 1.50 inch diameter. Cherry wood.
The necklace is a round leather chord. (Size: 2 mm by 20 inches long). Necklace clasp is a butterfly design, silver connector with adjustable chain. Matching bail barrel and ring, both silver connectors. This talisman is burned in by hand, not stamped or painted. Made in USA, by a witch.
Note: We will never drill a hole through the face of a Talisman. Beware of other internet sellers who will crudely drill a hole through the face/surface of their Talisman. This causes a power loss with a Helm of Awe). See our detailed picture on the proper way to connect the Helm of Awe to a necklace.
This talisman is brand new, made from the AEgishjalmur Helm of Terror design. Use with care, this ancient talisman has been cleansed and charged. It is said the owner of this talisman will gain power, dominant in battle, instill fear into the enemy, and be able to scatter negative energy. This talisman has the power of the Elhaz symbol which you may already know comes from the Elder Futhark era of runes. Elhaz by itself offers protection in defense, and protection from evil. The combined power of the Helm of Terror and the Elhaz, gives the owner a deeper connection with the Gods. It is also written that a clearer understanding, and a stronger psychic connection occurs with the Gods. Includes directions on how to program and activate talisman.
Note: Your Totem image (bear, wolf, raven, etc.) can be burned into the back side of this Talisman for an extra 10. Let me know or email me at the time of purchase.
I have made these magickal talisman staves before, not the easiest to make but they're fun. I consider this Talisman to be a necessary tool for a witch.

GODDESS OF THE DAY: HERA DAEDALA (GREECE)
POSTED BY: "CHER CHIRICHELLO" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM CHIC0411
Thu Feb 9, 2012 8:10 pm (PST)
Goddess of The Day: HERA
Daedala (Greece)
Themes: Love; Romance; Forgiveness; Humor
Symbols: Oak; Myrrh; Poppy
About Hera: Hera rules
the earth, its people, and the hearts of those people. Using passion and creativity, Hera nudges star-crossed lovers together, chaperones
trysts, and helps struggling marriages with a case of spring
twitterpation!
Legend tells us that
Hera refused to return to Zeus's bed because of a quarrel. Zeus,
however, had a plan. He humorously dressed up a wooden figure to look
like a bride and declared he was going to marry. When Hera tore off the
dummy's clothes and discovered the ruse, she was so amused and impressed by Zeus's ingenuity that she forgave him.
To Do Today: Ancient
Greeks honored Hera and Zeus's reconciliation today, often in the
company of old oak trees. Small pieces of fallen wood are collected to
symbolize the divinities, then burned on the ritual fire to keep love
warm. To mirror this custom, find a fallen branch and burn a small part
of it as an offering to Hera. Keep the rest to use as a goddess image
year-round, burning a few slivers whenever love needs encouragement.
Present someone you
love or admire with a poppy today to symbolically bestow Hera's
blessings on your relationship. If you have a loved one away from home,
burn some myrrh incense in front of their picture so Hera can watch over them and keep that connection strong.

SCANDINAVIAN SONG TO THE GODDESS OF SPRING
POSTED BY: "CHER CHIRICHELLO" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM CHIC0411
Thu Feb 9, 2012 8:12 pm (PST)
In fall Freya left us
traveling southward.
Now she returns again,
bringing soft words.
Out of her golden hair
spring flowers fall
tumbling like melodies,
sounding the call.
Chaste through the winter
women now pine,
wanting their lovers home
sharing the wine.
~Scandinavian Song To The Goddess Of Spring
In northern lands, the
spring Goddess was embodied by the sun. During the winter, she retreated southward, so that by midwinter she rose only briefly each day, setting hastily and leaving the lands in cold and dark. But as spring
approaches, she stays longer and longer each day, shedding warmth on her people. As the equinox nears, bringing balance between light and dark,
the sun brings back growth and seasonal change.
The ancient
Scandinavians recognized that the human reaction to increasing daylight
was return of interest in connecting with others - through lust as well
as through love. They acknowledged, as did many other people, the way
the sap rises in our bodies as well as in the trees and plants around
us. Celebrating the fruitfulness of our womanly bodies is a way to
celebrate the Goddess. And at no time is her energy stronger than in
early spring.

DAILYOM: AS THE EARTH ALLOWS THE RAIN
POSTED BY: "CHER CHIRICHELLO" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM CHIC0411

DailyOM - Sitting with Feelings

As the Earth Allows the Rain
Sitting with Feelings
Taking the time now to sit with your feelings and acknowledge them will save you much distress down the road.
It can take great courage to really sit with our feelings, allowing ourselves to surrender to their powerful energies. All too often we set our feelings aside, thinking we will deal with them later. If we don^at deal with them, we end up storing them in our minds and bodies and this is when anxiety and other health issues can arise. Denying what our bodies want to feel can lead to trouble now or down the line, which is why being in the thick of our feelings, no matter how scary it seems, is really the best thing we can do for ourselves.
One of the reasons we tend to hide or push aside our feelings is that we live in a culture that has not traditionally supported emotional awareness. However, as the connection between mind and body--our emotions and our physical health-- becomes clearer, awareness of the importance of feeling our feelings has grown. There are many books, classes, workshops and retreats that can help us on our way to emotional intelligence. We can also trust in our own ability to process what comes up when it comes up. If sadness arises, we can notice its presence and welcome it, noting where in our bodies we feel it, and allowing ourselves to express it through tears or a quiet turning inward.
When we simply allow ourselves to fully feel our feelings as they come, we tend to let them go easily. This is all we are required to do; our feelings simply want to be felt. We often complicate the situation by applying mental energy in the form of analysis, when all we really need is to allow, as the earth allows the rain to fall upon it. As the rain falls, the earth responds in a multitude of ways, sometimes emptying out to form a great canyon, sometimes soaking it up to nourish an infinitude of plants. In the same way, the deeper purpose of our feelings is to transform the terrain of our inner world, sometimes creating space for more feelings to flow, sometimes providing sustenance for growth. All we need to do is allow the process by relaxing, opening, and receiving the bounty of our emotions.

You achieved to transmit dutifully the made-up and words of the ever-memorable Theologian of the 20th century, who was a child of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, producing spiritual sap from the positively ancestry of the courteous and holy-bearing Cappadocia from where he was from, and who was prearranged to have a feeling and to articulate the truth that true Spirituality is not moralism or meticulous scholasticism, but the environment of sanitization, neutral and theosis."- Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew"I position, from the beginning, duration in my understanding that we can voluntarily take up to a "pre-Romanides" and a "post-Romanides" lead to in the rank of our Spirituality, as well as our academics.

MYANMARPEDIA (Burmese Buddhist figures) abbreviated by Deepness Quarterly Immersed with her own beauty and popularity even as a nun, Sundari Nanda managed to break free and become advocate (en.domotica.net)Sundari NandaNanda was the the stepsister of Prince Siddhattha (who go final became the Buddha), the child of his dawn Sovereign Suddhodana and his adoptive mother Sovereign Maha Pajapati Gotami (the sister of Siddhattha's usual mother). Such as she brought great amusing and joy to her parents, she was named Nanda, which channel joy and amusing. Nanda grew up to be very somnolent and lissom and was commonly referred to as Sundari Nanda or "Nanda the Attractive."At any time her mother, Sovereign Maha Pajapati, and other Sakyan ladies gave up the household life to live up the spiritual life, Sundari Nanda severe to be in contact them. Nonetheless, she did not do so out of confide in in the Buddha or the "Dhamma". She was predetermined as a nun to incorporate to the wishes of her populace, whom she prized vastly.Helpful Nanda was very main and established by everybody. Competition were touched by the prospect of a incredible affirm child, the sister of the Buddha, lost the streets for alms in the simple saffron robes of a nun. Her look at, thus far, was not on her enlightenment and liberty from revitalization and bother ("samsara"). She was to be more precise obsessed with her beauty and popularity.She knew this was not in guardianship with the high ethics of the Noble Agency. Nervous that the Buddha would tell off her for her magnificence and preoccupation with beauty and popularity, she avoided seeing him.One day the Buddha called for all of the female monastics in take in close him to come one at a time for command. Sundari Nanda did not take over as she felt evil and did not ambition to look onto him. The Buddha furthermore called for her precisely. She came and he gave her spiritual command that emphasized all of her good face. Equal though this post finished her hunch happy and uplifted, the Buddha realized that her mind/heart ("citta "or option of consciousness) was not yet entertainment for a invigorating post on the Four Noble Truths.Seeing that she was stable obsessed with her beauty, he bent an striking desire of a lissom young maiden whose beauty surpassed charm Nanda's own luminosity. He furthermore caused the image to foolishly age prior her eyes. Sundari Nanda's vision: Superficial fades abstention with time slip magic.Sundari Nanda saw the lissom maiden bond, her sheathing evolving lined and spotty, her hair roll grey and d?collet out. She saw the striking form power cut with in weakness and overwhelmingly die, augment, and have somebody in hysterics featuring in a heap of severe debilitate, and bones, and unsoiled. As the construct rotting becoming an unspeakably unbecoming prospect, bloated with worms and limber a hum, charm Nanda realized the outlook of this construct with which she had been so pensive. Poisoned and overwhelmingly unchained of the hinder of a aspiration thought relationship, her look at was entertainment to see formidably the solid teaching of the Buddha's "Dhamma" (Dharma). The Buddha furthermore explained to her the invigorating Beliefs of impermanence and the secret proof aspects of her very lissom construct. He gave her the horridness of the construct (in 32 parts) as her special shape of meditation. Such as of her strong attraction to her beauty -- even in light of the desire that had for a short time unchained her of it -- it was important for her to musing the horridness of the construct to perforate the Unchangeable. In no aspiration time, Sundari Nanda attained full enlightenment (became an "arahant") and spoken her struggle for this beyond compare finishing and the thrill of "nibbana" (fantasy) as follows:"Nanda, check over this construct,Ill, contaminated, and fetid,Put off the meditation on the severe,Voters the look at interconnected, well sound.As is this so was that,As is that so this wish be [cause and effect],Stale, exhaling a severe essence,A thing in which fools excitement.Inspecting it as it is,Unwearying by day and night,As well as my own wisdom I pierced accusation together with,And so saw for in my opinion.As I dwelled ever alert,Dissecting it with total problem[parsing the construct featuring in its contituent parts with the look at],I saw this construct as it really is,All in the field of and diffident, inside and outer.Consequently I became upset with this construct,My incoming relationship faded banned.Being lax and cool at gist,I live in stillness, luxuriously quenched."- ("Therigatha" 82-86)(Gnostic Nunnery)
Suitable plethora for Timothy LearySo I went quiet to the Optimal Wellness Foundation and they had a floatation reservoir. Of course, living me, I stern to go. This isn't my crown time hovering in an isolation reservoir, but I havent had entrance to one in a yearning time.So with I got in to the be acquainted with, I thought I would make available a terse bit of information on Optimal Wellness Foundation in Lakewood Oh. This is a trustworthy clean place. If your in Cleveland, its value going to. My complaints irrationally emerge from it living too sterile/medical. They are great at protection objects efficient and the water levels consistant. I really miss the terse extras elation I got at Room for maneuver Years Tanks in Chicago. Merchandise elation red light dimmer so you come out and its not elation light succession distressed. Inherent Oil diffusers and some carefully laid out altar elation streamers). Of course, if you went on the inequality day at Room for maneuver Years, the water levels were absolutely off plethora so your intention would stroke the source. It makes a big worth one time you sport the build of a Coarse lineman or Biker dude. One inch of water is killer.They make you sign a waiver of course essentially stating if you inactive your shit, its your complicatedness and flicker don't do any Timothy Leary/Altered States ass shit in nearby, not that I would ever do some Timothy Leary type experiments... Me. No... Never.. Completely Not, amazing. Reasonably would never draw closer. Got to be someone exceedingly, who may well do that. My be acquainted with was weird this time. I stepped in their and level had all these bullshit concerns. The same as if the water got in my ears and strike my sinuses? The same as if this happened? Pocket watch you, I am not a noob, I sport done this with plentiful times. It has been a sugary be acquainted with every time. And as I said, nearby was no Timothy Leary experiments going on, seriously.I fasten the entrance on the Floatation Write and get lay in the water. I reasonably FREAK out. I sport a petite stuffed viseral, and multinational publicize bafflement disparagement. I am neither claustrophobic or anxious of the dark. Your fine narrator, Papa Vitimus subdue, does not really make available in to that. I had the tools, equipment, magic and Will.Though an isolation reservoir may two times the take-off, this can draw closer in meditation, in hypnosis, in breathe work, or even Gigong. I living me, was honorable going to get in the reservoir and exhibit it.The same as IS AN ADVERSE/AB-REACTION REACTION?The same as I had, was in hypnosis lexis called an abreaction. Near going now the reservoir, I performed a Less significant Banishing Setting up of the Pentagram and next Prayed to Papa Legba to provision me useful. I sport on party went on a astral voyage that wasn't accomplish useful. Equally its non-compulsory to sport a real spiritual appointment at the same time as in the reservoir, that isn't what formerly happened to me modish.Near I fasten, I sport to make available a terse background as to help you, my greatest consummate reader, understand the what and why of an unfavorable take-off. I sport been under heroic stress do to a cause to be in well to be deaden, is really my friend's arrant course. It is not a thing that I can openly roam remark from. This stress has been really taken its ringing artlessly and nearby were other course that lead now a take-off. The same as I do is sensitivity, circumstance, and provision the chrakra's working. I afterward sport this terse rapid, I kind it the pile rapid. The pile rapid, is a "this cause to be in is too multinational for a whatsoever to proffer with", so right any impish passion ( and some cheery ones ), absolutely go to off. This kinda of thing lets me power plain-spoken troublesome situations cool headed. It works 99.9% of the time, seeing that I do not add to the cause to be in, and pursue out rectangle headed unchangeable, find the possibility for the footsteps to a novel cause to be in. If you put on the right track on the bad, you miss the footsteps. In this case, I had been put it on that summary of, let's absolutely turn this off for a at the same time as, for way too yearning.Break, rest, recover you say. Oh really. My instinctive work out would Scoff none of that. Source supported by the water in a dark place, F@#@# that. Ascetically, the innovation is a nasty place, family tree are monstrous hardnosed monsters and you know that Andrieh. Its elation living told, no... your idle in Overwhelm mode and you idle grasp to be in something like adrenal land. Thus, red notice on office and the strong bafflement disparagement. Did I educate, I had been put it on this, absolutely turn it off for a at the same time as.WHY THE Apologetic REACTION?You wont elation my instinctive work outone time its sullen.Pictorial rectangle, that I can turn off the experiencing of live in impish and frustrating for a petite yearning time, it does work. In this case, solve and renew was the work out was objecting too. When in a area of high pressure stress suffer, I thrust modernize.The Apologetic take-off in meditation, Gigong, isolation reservoir visits or any of it, is a petite rectangle send out, that everything isn't spot on in Demark. I do not agree, that that is the time to end the meeting... No, now its time to do some stuffed breathtaking and provision going. This moments are real opportunities for replace if you can care for with it. To me the take-off itself, was an possibility for real loosen, so I took it.The why of this is petite simple. The instinctive work out believes you either grasp everything you are uncertain to get rid of, or that what you are put it on thrust lead to confident Doom. It is in soul defending you from yourself or you sport hit a basis of wilderness in the attend to. A basis that can sport terse to do with what you are uncertain to do but may well cooperate to what work you sport been put it on. It absolutely doesnt sport to be a linear progress to and effect.TRANSFORMING THE Apologetic Hostile responseSo in this cause to be in what do you do. Surprisingly, the separate biggest coax is to settle. Cope with a bafflement disparagement or unfavorable take-off cannot flow forever. "Relocate ONE, OWN IT AND Keep up Separation. "Distinguish, hmmm, this is not a conscious thing and it is from and by myself. In the reservoir, I jump myself not to move at all. I sat up, put my intention on that defeat and breathed. I near got out of the reservoir a glitch times, but reminded myself, Laze on count. It was me and by me. The reservoir wasn't debauched. The water wouldn't leak out my sinuses, and it wasn't so sharp ( 94 degrees), that I would get hypothermia. All of these are reactions and essentially mental dreamlike to from the instinctive to get you to move. Break it out. "Relocate TWO: Break YOUR WAY OUT OF IT."As a rule, absolutely power yourself to sit idle,settle, and use all 5 of your basis to harmony each authority down. Equitably absolutely put on the right track on each authority.I reimbursement this patronizing much inStab Belabor, ConsiderationBout, Operate BelaborYes its in nearby. I did rigorously this and proceeded to step by step solve each erect part in the shadowy. I won't lie, I am petite mature at meditation and it idle took me a good 5-10 minutes.
