Turkey and Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins is an internationally known and respected professor at Oxford, an ethologist and zoologist. He is a writer whose books have had tremendous impact, among them The Selfish Gene, The Extended Phenotype, The Blind Watchmaker and The God Delusion. I have gained valuable insights from...

Great! We’ve got a Debate! Christian and Muslim Freakazoids...Part II

In order to make things as easy as possible for my esteemed readership, I have reprinted benzinha’s comment below, to be followed by my response. And I am serious when I say that I welcome this debate... We Christians cannot be held liable for what our fringe freakazoids do, spout, call for, teach,... Sign in to see full entry.

Great! We’ve got a Debate! Christian and Muslim Freakazoids...Part I

At the very end of my “Israeli child-killer” series, we have the beginnings of a debate, something I had hoped to generate in the first place, a hope that was disappointed. Voices ‘from the other side’, as it were, remained silent. These two comments, while not from Muslims, nonetheless are... Sign in to see full entry.

Hamas' 'Mickey' and Israeli child-killers...X (Final)

This shall be the last post in the current series. Not because the topic is exhausted (I am barely scratching surfaces here), but because much of what I would want to get into would necessarily require more work and time than I can devote to it, and would also be in danger of becoming too ‘academic’...

Hamas' 'Mickey' and Israeli child-killers...IX

In this post I shall briefly deal with the ‘issue’ of Jerusalem. It is next to impossible to speak of a city intimately bound up with the course of many thousands of years of human history in merely prosaic terms, a city that really ‘belongs’ to the world. But it can’t be helped, because for... Sign in to see full entry.

Hamas' 'Mickey' and Israeli child-killers...VIII

This part is long and dry, and even more boring than the earlier stuff. Sorry... In the previous part, I made reference to the Palestinian Constitution. Basically, my interest in that document is limited to the degree that it has a bearing on the relationship between Palestine and Israel. This... Sign in to see full entry.

Hamas' 'Mickey' and Israeli child-killers...VII

“Nautikos, I'm afraid that there is much ignorance about this subject among people of all faiths; and I would guess that an awful lot of them would just as soon remain ignorant about it rather than have to face possibilities and probabilities. ” TAPS I offer this comment by TAPS at the outset of...

Hamas' 'Mickey' and Israeli child-killers...VI

I suggest that, collectively, Jews and Muslims tend to have a deeper sense of history than Christians. Christians may ‘know’ history, Jews and Muslims ‘live’ it, primarily because in Judaism and Islam the history of their respective ‘tribes’ is an integral part of the faith. Based on history alone,...

Hamas' 'Mickey' and Israeli child-killers...V

There are moments in history when events follow an inner logic, displaying an inexorable thrust which no human agency can deflect. Such moment came with the end of WWII. What had been a trickle of Jewish migration to Palestine before turned into a flood! Men, women and children, the survivors of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Hamas' 'Mickey' and Israeli Child-killers...IV

In the previous post I spoke of the ‘creation’ of Israel. But, in the interest of historical accuracy and to forestall a descent into the kind of debate which arises from the charge that ‘The Jews stole the Arabs' land’, let me add to that and be very blunt about this: The Jews did not steal the...
