Muslims on campus (especially the fake progressive ones), are much louder, aggressive and threatening than the Jews. Campus Admin and non Jewish Progs respect the in your face Islamist muscle, it's exhilarating. These indoctrination centers are run by the loudest in the room, DEI, BLM, Trans, Islamists. Conservatives and Jews have no chance.

It's not "muslims against jews", it's radicals (islamists, zionists) against moderates. I despise the radicals on both sides and embrace all of those who stand for peaceful coexistence.
By the way.....the most hateful voices aren't the jewish zionists, but the christian zionists with their hatred against anything nonchristian. Their pro-israel stand is used to hide their deep rooted antisemitism. According to Christian zionist prophecy Judaism will be wiped out upon the "second coming of Jesus". By then two thirds of jews will have perished in the big battle called "Armageddon" and only those who convert to Christianity will be saved. That means their plan, if implemented, will finish what the Nazis couldn't: Wipe out Judaism once and for all! Jews should be very careful when choosing their friends.....
It's worse than that. Bari's piece exposed the middle east money trail, especially Qatar. Qatar where Hamas leadership enjoys boys and girls and killing jews. Money corrupts and has corrupted universities receiving Islam's money.
Coining a new expression which describes why this is is happening: itтАЩs the ideology, stupid.
Muslim students are taught that Islam will dominate the world and they have a right and duty to impose their religion by any means. Jewish students are not taught such evil ideas.
In 1953, in a high school in small-town Indiana, I was taking an elective called "World History." The teacher summarized the world views of Islam and Christianity this way: Islam instructions were to spread Islam by the Sword. Christianity's dogma was to be spread by the Word. Neither edict has been followed to the letter by its followers, but recent events speak for themselves.
I often wonder what happens if Biden gets crushed by Trump or another next year, what happens to these people. In the past, they got over it and went on to the next issue. These people are not that type and wonder what they will do and what kind of response they will demand. They are dangerous and stupidтАФa bad combination.
Personally, I wish Trump would go away. That's because the havoc that Leftists will wreak if he gets re-elected will make the summer of 2020 look like a backyard BBQ.
Very true. Trump in fact was fading away after midterm. His announcement of his run didn't even excite his base that much. Then the Dems prosecutors went unhinged and the hundred lawsuits galvanized his base and more all over again, solidifying his block of voters as nothing else could. Now we're all stuck with either the circus or the hospice in White House for 4 more years. Thanks a lot.
You are right Celia. The GOP should dump that nut case and he is nuts. If they don't, the Dem/Socs will crush us in the next election and we will have four more years of faild policies and open borders.
Trump is not responsible for the irrational behavior of the left - true in legal sense, but he surely provokes them into the state of madness that may put all of us in danger. I agree with Celia that the risk of our country burning outweighs any goodness Trump may bring to the table if any. Some of his policies were in the right direction. But look at our country: we have reached the boiling point, when Muslim extremists are ready to attack the White House and TDS has united more than half of the country in their frenzy. We need someone who can help cooling the temp down a few degrees. Is there anyone? ЁЯд╖тАНтЩАя╕П
I honestly think all the Wokesters just want to watch things burn. And the Trumpers gives no fuck anymore except putting Trump back in the WH to stick it to the Left. Neither bloc gives a crap about the country.
Trump is not *responsible* for the irrational behavior of the Left, but he is definitely the primary focus of that irrational behavior. The Left NEEDS Trump as their punching bag. If he is re-elected, they will use that as an excuse for every act of violence they commit.
I think it would be better to take their favorite toy away.
In the four years following the 2016 election, I often said that the problem wasnтАЩt really Trump, per se, but rather peopleтАЩs REACTION to him. Trump Derangement Syndrome is absolutely real. His personality literally drives people insane. I have a theory... I think his narcissism is the key: since narcissism is a common trait in our culture (see Christopher Hitchens), those who are somewhat narcissistic themselves tend to look at Trump and тАЬprojectтАЭ their own hatred of that part of their personality onto him. This causes them to have an outsized reaction.
Edit: I wrongly left out the other part of my theoryтАж people who have been harmed by narcissists are also driven absolutely bonkers by Trump. Obviously, his personality brings up a lot of trauma for them.
My youngest daughter was so deeply convinced that Trump was "literally Hitler" that, out of respect that she might be seeing something I wasn't, I watched his actions very carefully for any signs that he was *any* variety of dictator, much less a fascist one.
The evidence was just not there. Bush II was more of a dictator after 9/11 than Trump ever attempted to be. And when the TDS people pointed to stuff they said was "proof," it was invariably on the same level as saying static on the radio "proves" there are UFOs.
I've never been a fan of Trump (nor did I vote for him in 2016), but the TDS stuff was over-the-top LITERALLY INSANE. Insane enough that I ended up voting for him in 2020, because a party as bat-shit-crazy as the Democrats had become could not be trusted with power (which they have since demonstrated in spades).
I think you're onto something with that narcissism theory.
God knows, we could all use a тАЬsani-teaтАЭ party right about now! Save me a seat тАФ Louis Carroll knew: what good is a tea party without a rabbit?! ЁЯР░ЁЯШЙ
He's a loudmouth yankee narcissist, that's for sure. But he also had the most quantifiably / objectively successful presidential admin of the 21st century so far. I don't need him to be my buddy, my uncle, my mentor, etc. I need results in the job.
Im your number one fan Lonesome Polecat. Just wanna say that I disagree about the danger posed by Trump. Hes a narcissist and braggadocious, but he also didnt even believe his political enemies were evil until recently. He used to think they were all corrupt, or pushover shmucks, or stupid. Its only a recent epiphany to him that тАЬthese people hate our country, I really think soтАЭ. In that sense he is far behind the rest of the right, who have known for years the Left hates America. I dont want somebody who will lower the temperature, or be soft-handed and conciliatory. I want somebody brash, bull in the chinashop, who will actually take down/exorcise the swamp-demons destroying our country. I want victory, its the only way my children and my nation can have a future. Furthermore Trump is the only republican that could conceivably win the election, and win it he shall.
Leftism is just as cancerous an ideology on planet earth as Jihadism. I want victory, and I want criminal traitors to actually receive consequences. I want the evil bureaucracy to actually be deconstructed. I hope Trump can manage to do so. We have one more shot at this before either submitting to total tyranny or taking up arms/civil conflict (both sound terrible to me).
Exactly. He is the best President of the 21st Century so far. His foreign policy was outstanding, clearly focused on support for human rights. He took tangible actions against the 3 largest countries suppressing human rights: Russia, Iran, and China. He negotiated recognition of Israel by five majority-countries. He told NATO members to get their required spending on defense of 2% of GDP. He stopped support of anti-freedom components of the UN, such as the "Human Rights Council".
His tax reform law of 2017 was the first in 30 years. It lower taxes on all of the people, except the high earners (~$500,000 and above), who had their taxes go up due to the $10,000 limit on the SALT deduction.
And he did all this despite the vindictive persecution of him by Obama leftovers, starting with the 2016 election Russia collusion hoax (the Russians obviously wanted Clinton since she was so easy to pay to get their way).
All things aside, given we've only had 3 presidents since 2000, the "best of the 21st century" is kinda meaningless. It's like saying Biden is the third best president of the 21st century.
"America's elite Christians"? Other than something you just made up, what the hell is that? I've never met an elite christian. Can your warped Canadian mind define one for us? No idea what you're talking about, and I suspect you don't know yourself.
I just edited my comment. What I meant was that the people who run America, and for that matter Canada happen to be Christians not Muslims but have a similar mindset about Jews. Misleading and clumsily stated. The point is both groups are engaged in some pretty heavy duty antisemitism.
Antisemitic christians do exist. They are called evangelicals or "christian zionists" and they love to pose as friends of Israel. According to their "prophecy" two thirds of jews will be slaughtered in the big battle of armageddon and only those jews will survive who are converting to christianity. As a result judaism will have vanished from the face of the earth and their "sweet Jesus" will rule over a planet that is "jew free" upon his "second coming". You can't get any more antisemitic as that!
Who are the "elite" Christians, may I ask? I'm a Christian and the only "elite" Christian is Jesus. The Disciples Paul and Peter, if you must, and Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene if you want to add women. Pope Francis if you want someone alive and walking the Earth. Beyond them, there is no "elite" Christians, and I dare anyone claim to be one before God.
Yeah, and? Jesus is Jewish. The earliest Christians were Jewish.
While I'm here, I might also add (not to you but generally to amend my previous comment), I'm certain Pope Francis himself will disclaim he's an elite Christian. And no, I'm not Catholic.
IтАЩm supportive of the Palestinian movement. They should leave all of Israel including the West Bank and Gaza to people whose ancestors came to the area 3500 years ago and settle in a place where they wouldnтАЩt be obsessed with killing people who arenтАЩt like them. Any of the 46 Muslim majority countries would do but Mauritania, which is 100% Muslim is probably the best option for them and mankind. Or they could go to Somalia, which is 99.8% Muslim if they take You Know Who with them.
Many of the "protests groups" aren't muslim at all. White liberals, progressive minorities, and faculty activist are thick as thieves on these campuses. Collectively fueling the new hatred of the Jewish people.
For Christ's sake! They are neither liberals nor progressives. They are left wing neo-Nazis.
Here is another thing. If one of these vile swine calls you an Islamophobe, say, "Hell yes I am an Islamophobe and you should be too.". Islam is the antipathy of everything I believe in. Every Islamic country is a brutal dictatorship. They are misogynist who murder women and homosexuals, They torture and murder dissentients. They practice slavery. They slaughter non-Muslims and any Muslim that is not of their sect. Sunnis murder Shias and visa a versa. Islam is a brutal murderous religion so yes, I am an Islamophobe. If they have their way, they will convert the world to Islam and if you do not convert, they kill you and not in a very pleasant way.
Only the deluded loony left, in their own perverted way, worships Islam.
Why any Jew still clings to the Party of Evil is beyond me. Maybe Bari and Nellie can write an article on "Why I am still a glassy eyed Democrat."
Thank you for being so direct- and correct, as usual! And yes, everyone needs to abandon the Democrat party en masse. They are coddling these extremists- BLM, SJP et al- and should be made to pay for it. So what if the Republican Party isnтАЩt perfect? ItтАЩs way better than the alternative.
P.S.- the term Islamophobia was invented by CAIR, a Muslim brotherhood-run organization, to shut down any criticism of their murderous, anti-American, anti-Semitic ways. ItтАЩs not a phobia if itтАЩs true! We should all be very afraid.
By your own admission these people arenтАЩt libs or even progressives, for the most part, and theyтАЩre certainly not Democrats.
They are far left neo-Nazis. ItтАЩs Protest du Jour.
in this case many of them swapped BLM for Free Gaza as those protests, and the vast amount of people who apparently cared, vaporized, except for the occasional sign in a window.
The Dems here arenтАЩt the problem. These protestors, or whatever you call them, hate the Democrats. They want to тАЬburn it all down.тАЭ
People like me, centrist moderate Dems, are the new fascists. A pro Palestinian commenter on Instagram, when we were arguing about antisemitism and she was frustrated with my disagreement, wrote тАЬOK, Lib.тАЭ
I found it surprising as nobody had used the term тАЬLibтАЭ pejoratively who came from somebody on the left of me. Then she wrote тАЬscratch a Lib and out comes a fascist.тАЭ
Here are examples of left wing tyranny: PC/Woke censor free speech, dictating what we can say and what we can't say, like what pronouns to use. and firing those who don't comply. The ever senile Joe during the Covid madness, ruling by mandate (which was later overturned by the Supremes.) The dept of Homeland Security had for a brief time a misinformation bureau to stifle "misinformation". Guess who was going to determine what was misinformation and what wasn't?
The Dem/Soc allowed men to compete in women's sports. Dem/Soc turned a blind eye to BLM and ANTIFA , both Marxist organizations, to burn out cities down and not condemning them.
I do not dispute that the political left is getting more and more tyrannical, You mentioned some examples, but I do not see the political right any less tyrannical. That's the tragic place Americans are stuck in these days. In a year's time they will be able to choose which dementia stricken tyrant gets to oppress and lead them to the slaughter. I do not believe this country has much of a future, it's nearing its expiry date. Neither of the political factions has a solution for the problem, they both are just symptoms of the decline. The rightwing hate spilling into the commentary section is mirroring the leftwing hate in other places and all this hate everywhere is going to do this country in. It feels more and more like the Weimar Republic in good old Germany before the Nazis took over, when the only choice left was between communists and nazis.
Just look at the situation of science these days in this country. Scientific progress that used to be a strong suit of this country gets squeezed by irrational ideologues on one side and by superstitious religious nut cases on the other side, leaving the shaping of the technological future to the new Asian powers, where natural sciences are still held in high regard and no resources are wasted on inventing new pronouns or bible studies.
Like disregarding results of democratic elections without any real proof of fraud. Or trying to silence all criticism of Israel by trying to expel critics of Israel from universities. Or organizing a mob to storm the American parliament. All these are clear signs of tyranny, of utter disregard for freedom of speech and democracy.
Exactly. But, so are many Dems, including younger ones. The media would like to portray us all as raging leftists, waving our pronouns around, smoking weed while researching our next protest location. Hardly. But that does not make good fodder for media.
Have you considered changing sides. I am not a Republican. I think both parties are despicable. However, I think the Dem/Soc Patry is more despicable. With more and more leftists siding with the terrorists, Hamas, I don't know how anybody that knows the history of Israel can support these brutal murderers, Hamas.
Crap. I commented. Called Hamas тАЬhummusтАЭ (the latter, of which I like reasonably well), try to figure out how to edit my comment and now itтАЩs gone?
As I mentioned above, I do not believe the Dems at large our siding with hummus. These are the far left. These people also hate the Democrats.
Joe Biden has been pro Israel. Our government has been pro Israel, which is why all these people are protesting.
I would switch sides if the Republicans were not a bunch of ass hats. I cannot abide by the current crop of Republicans. They are a party of the Trump cult. Give me a moderate republican candidate, one who isnтАЩt an election denier, blames Democrats for everything, doesnтАЩt understand pandemic economics, doesnтАЩt want to beat people with a Bible, isnтАЩt rude and nasty, doesnтАЩt think more guns more guns more guns will solve every problem, and weтАЩll talk.
There are so many things I want to say about your post but I just don't have the energy to reply, mainly because I have addressed them in the past. I have been posting here for over a year.
Come on Sharon. How about you refute what I wrote point by point.
Prove to me that Islam isn't a bloody, misogynistic, murdering religion.
When the armies of Islam invaded India, the religion of peace slaughtered about 50 million Indians, depopulating entire provinces. The great 20th century historian Will Durant, wrote prior to WW II, it was the bloodiest slaughter in recorded history.
Islam hasn't changed. It is still the religion of brutal murder.
Is what I have just written "screed" or is it historical fact? If it is historical fact, which it is, then maybe you should change your mind when it comes to Islam.
I think I used the correct word. I do have a deep aversion to the brutal religion of Islam.
You did what every left wing fanatic does when approached with an idea they don't like. You insulted me as a way of dismissing me and not entering into an honest, civil debate.
Did I say anything about Islam that wasn't true and if I did please tell me where I failed. Below you will find my "Screed". How about a point by point rebuttal? I know it will be hard but try and be civil. OK?
Every Islamic country is a brutal dictatorship. I consider Turkey quasi democratic. Islam is misogynistic that murders women and homosexuals. They torture and murder dissentients. They practice slavery. They slaughter non-Muslims and any Muslim that is not of their sect. Sunnis murder Shias and visa a versa. Islam is a brutal murderous religion.
Give debating instead of insulting a shot. You might find it rewarding. I do.
Also, she used тАЬyourтАЭ when she meant тАЬyouтАЩreтАЭ (she may go back and edit it, but hereтАЩs the original cut and paste from her post тАЬIf your going to write a screed, at least get your wording correct.тАЭ).
It certainly undermines someoneтАЩs overly picky criticism when they are guilty of exactly what they criticize. I hate nitpicking. Comment writing is prone to errors, given that itтАЩs often carried out on oneтАЩs phone.
These protest groups are lead by the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which is directed by Hamas and funded by Iran/Qatar. Every student who joins SJP or participates in one of its rallies should face disciplinary actions, including explusion. Parents of students who are involved with SJP should withhold tuition money for their children and write their children out of their wills.
I would be willing to bet a simple peek into influential faculty bank accounts would reveal the motivation for a lot of this madness. It's all part of the plan to destroy this country from within and the current administration is the facilitator.
Depends on what rich people you are referring. I am talking about foreign and domestic interests that are promoting communism to form a global society of "slaves" that serves their wealth and power. It's not a conspiracy theory anymore. The WEF is not hiding the fact that this is their goal.
Not really- just look what much of The Left has become ...the VERY THING they despised Republicans for being. I can easily make a list but it's all so obvious.
Yes, from the videos looks like a mix of freaks to me. The LGBTQ (H), the angry oppressed Muslims, the progressive blonde babe from Nebraska, and the post Jewish "as a Jew" leftist looking to get some points. I never thought a 52nd Islamic supremacist apartheid state would be the progressive cause of 2023.
I believe there was strong sarcasm in j p mтАЩs use of the term тАЬoppressed MuslimsтАЭ, hence the inclusion of the word тАЬangryтАЭ before it. Comment writing makes it difficult to convey тАЬtoneтАЭ.
Muslims on campus (especially the fake progressive ones), are much louder, aggressive and threatening than the Jews. Campus Admin and non Jewish Progs respect the in your face Islamist muscle, it's exhilarating. These indoctrination centers are run by the loudest in the room, DEI, BLM, Trans, Islamists.

Have you been reading the news about Trump's trial? He has gone off the rails . They may put him in a straight jack and gag him.
He's reacting to the obvious political witch hunt prosecution being applied to him.
I don't know. He's despicable megalomanic who cannot control his ego.
He's a loudmouth yankee narcissist, that's for sure. But he also had the most quantifiably / objectively successful presidential admin of the 21st century so far. I don't need him to be my buddy, my uncle, my mentor, etc. I need results in the job.

Spot on
Jews have much to fear, AmericaтАЩs elite are just as bad as Muslims but in their own way: more hidden and smoothed over, but still hate.
"America's elite Christians"? Other than something you just made up, what the hell is that? I've never met an elite christian. Can your warped Canadian mind define one for us? No idea what you're talking about, and I suspect you don't know yourself.

Not sure about where your area, but here in North Carolina there seem to be 2 camps:
Traditional christians who seem to be in unified full throated in support of Israel.
Activist/woke christians that seem to either be completely silent or supportive of the Palestine movement.
North Carolina still has hope, great state. Just fight for it, and vocally.
Those woke Christians that have drag shows, and BLM and pride flags, right?
IтАЩm supportive of the Palestinian movement. They should leave all of Israel including the West Bank and Gaza to people whose ancestors came to the area 3500 years ago and settle in a place where they wouldnтАЩt be obsessed with killing people who arenтАЩt like them. Any of the 46 Muslim majority countries would do but Mauritania, which is 100% Muslim is probably the best option for them and mankind. Or they could go to Somalia, which is 99.8% Muslim if they take You Know Who with them.
Toronto: left-wing politics in Canada so the sympathy for the Jews is now being displaced by a pro- Palestinian narrative.
I would say we have no traditional Christians, or rather, traditional Christian ethos is viewed as regressive ignorance.
Canada is lost.
Neither Canada or the United States are lost. The majority is not insane.
Good! I need your optimism, thank you
Many of the "protests groups" aren't muslim at all. White liberals, progressive minorities, and faculty activist are thick as thieves on these campuses. Collectively fueling the new hatred of the Jewish people.
For Christ's sake! They are neither liberals nor progressives. They are left wing neo-Nazis.
Here is another thing. If one of these vile swine calls you an Islamophobe, say, "Hell yes I am an Islamophobe and you should be too.". Islam is the antipathy of everything I believe in. Every Islamic country is a brutal dictatorship. They are misogynist who murder women and homosexuals, They torture and murder dissentients. They practice slavery. They slaughter non-Muslims and any Muslim that is not of their sect. Sunnis murder Shias and visa a versa. Islam is a brutal murderous religion so yes, I am an Islamophobe. If they have their way, they will convert the world to Islam and if you do not convert, they kill you and not in a very pleasant way.
Only the deluded loony left, in their own perverted way, worships Islam.
Why any Jew still clings to the Party of Evil is beyond me. Maybe Bari and Nellie can write an article on "Why I am still a glassy eyed Democrat."
Thank you for being so direct- and correct, as usual! And yes, everyone needs to abandon the Democrat party en masse. They are coddling these extremists- BLM, SJP et al- and should be made to pay for it. So what if the Republican Party isnтАЩt perfect? ItтАЩs way better than the alternative.
P.S.- the term Islamophobia was invented by CAIR, a Muslim brotherhood-run organization, to shut down any criticism of their murderous, anti-American, anti-Semitic ways. ItтАЩs not a phobia if itтАЩs true! We should all be very afraid.
By your own admission these people arenтАЩt libs or even progressives, for the most part, and theyтАЩre certainly not Democrats.
They are far left neo-Nazis. ItтАЩs Protest du Jour.
in this case many of them swapped BLM for Free Gaza as those protests, and the vast amount of people who apparently cared, vaporized, except for the occasional sign in a window.
The Dems here arenтАЩt the problem. These protestors, or whatever you call them, hate the Democrats. They want to тАЬburn it all down.тАЭ
People like me, centrist moderate Dems, are the new fascists. A pro Palestinian commenter on Instagram, when we were arguing about antisemitism and she was frustrated with my disagreement, wrote тАЬOK, Lib.тАЭ
I found it surprising as nobody had used the term тАЬLibтАЭ pejoratively who came from somebody on the left of me. Then she wrote тАЬscratch a Lib and out comes a fascist.тАЭ
So no. These arenтАЩt Dems.
You could have fooled me because these non-Democrats, vote Democrat and elect left wing tyrants.
Vote Republican and You elect right wing tyrants. No matter what You vote for You'll be stuck with tyranny.
Here are examples of left wing tyranny: PC/Woke censor free speech, dictating what we can say and what we can't say, like what pronouns to use. and firing those who don't comply. The ever senile Joe during the Covid madness, ruling by mandate (which was later overturned by the Supremes.) The dept of Homeland Security had for a brief time a misinformation bureau to stifle "misinformation". Guess who was going to determine what was misinformation and what wasn't?
The Dem/Soc allowed men to compete in women's sports. Dem/Soc turned a blind eye to BLM and ANTIFA , both Marxist organizations, to burn out cities down and not condemning them.
I've got more example if you want to hear them.
I do not dispute that the political left is getting more and more tyrannical, You mentioned some examples, but I do not see the political right any less tyrannical. That's the tragic place Americans are stuck in these days. In a year's time they will be able to choose which dementia stricken tyrant gets to oppress and lead them to the slaughter. I do not believe this country has much of a future, it's nearing its expiry date. Neither of the political factions has a solution for the problem, they both are just symptoms of the decline. The rightwing hate spilling into the commentary section is mirroring the leftwing hate in other places and all this hate everywhere is going to do this country in. It feels more and more like the Weimar Republic in good old Germany before the Nazis took over, when the only choice left was between communists and nazis.
Just look at the situation of science these days in this country. Scientific progress that used to be a strong suit of this country gets squeezed by irrational ideologues on one side and by superstitious religious nut cases on the other side, leaving the shaping of the technological future to the new Asian powers, where natural sciences are still held in high regard and no resources are wasted on inventing new pronouns or bible studies.
I gave some very specific examples of left wing tyranny. Can you give some of right wing tyranny?
Like disregarding results of democratic elections without any real proof of fraud. Or trying to silence all criticism of Israel by trying to expel critics of Israel from universities. Or organizing a mob to storm the American parliament. All these are clear signs of tyranny, of utter disregard for freedom of speech and democracy.
My view of current events is way different from yours.
You are caught in the middle.
Exactly. But, so are many Dems, including younger ones. The media would like to portray us all as raging leftists, waving our pronouns around, smoking weed while researching our next protest location. Hardly. But that does not make good fodder for media.
Have you considered changing sides. I am not a Republican. I think both parties are despicable. However, I think the Dem/Soc Patry is more despicable. With more and more leftists siding with the terrorists, Hamas, I don't know how anybody that knows the history of Israel can support these brutal murderers, Hamas.
Crap. I commented. Called Hamas тАЬhummusтАЭ (the latter, of which I like reasonably well), try to figure out how to edit my comment and now itтАЩs gone?
Look to the right of reply and share. There are 3 dots. Click on the dots and edit will appear. I don't want your thanks. Send money.
As I mentioned above, I do not believe the Dems at large our siding with hummus. These are the far left. These people also hate the Democrats.
Joe Biden has been pro Israel. Our government has been pro Israel, which is why all these people are protesting.
I would switch sides if the Republicans were not a bunch of ass hats. I cannot abide by the current crop of Republicans. They are a party of the Trump cult. Give me a moderate republican candidate, one who isnтАЩt an election denier, blames Democrats for everything, doesnтАЩt understand pandemic economics, doesnтАЩt want to beat people with a Bible, isnтАЩt rude and nasty, doesnтАЩt think more guns more guns more guns will solve every problem, and weтАЩll talk.
There are so many things I want to say about your post but I just don't have the energy to reply, mainly because I have addressed them in the past. I have been posting here for over a year.
I think you mean antithesis. If your going to write a screed, at least get your wording correct.
Come on Sharon. Show some backbone and reply to my posts below. Give me a point by point rebuttal without insults or a non sequitur.
Come on Sharon. How about you refute what I wrote point by point.
Prove to me that Islam isn't a bloody, misogynistic, murdering religion.
When the armies of Islam invaded India, the religion of peace slaughtered about 50 million Indians, depopulating entire provinces. The great 20th century historian Will Durant, wrote prior to WW II, it was the bloodiest slaughter in recorded history.
Islam hasn't changed. It is still the religion of brutal murder.
Is what I have just written "screed" or is it historical fact? If it is historical fact, which it is, then maybe you should change your mind when it comes to Islam.
Come on Sharon. Tell me where my "screed" was wrong. Did I say anything that wasn't true? If I didn't, I guess my post wasn't a screed after all.
I promise I won't correct your grammar or misuse of words.

I think I used the correct word. I do have a deep aversion to the brutal religion of Islam.
You did what every left wing fanatic does when approached with an idea they don't like. You insulted me as a way of dismissing me and not entering into an honest, civil debate.
Did I say anything about Islam that wasn't true and if I did please tell me where I failed. Below you will find my "Screed". How about a point by point rebuttal? I know it will be hard but try and be civil. OK?
Every Islamic country is a brutal dictatorship. I consider Turkey quasi democratic. Islam is misogynistic that murders women and homosexuals. They torture and murder dissentients. They practice slavery. They slaughter non-Muslims and any Muslim that is not of their sect. Sunnis murder Shias and visa a versa. Islam is a brutal murderous religion.
Give debating instead of insulting a shot. You might find it rewarding. I do.
Also, she used тАЬyourтАЭ when she meant тАЬyouтАЩreтАЭ (she may go back and edit it, but hereтАЩs the original cut and paste from her post тАЬIf your going to write a screed, at least get your wording correct.тАЭ).
It certainly undermines someoneтАЩs overly picky criticism when they are guilty of exactly what they criticize. I hate nitpicking. Comment writing is prone to errors, given that itтАЩs often carried out on oneтАЩs phone.
Thank you, Rabbit. Also, I used the correct word to describe my disgust with the murderous Islamic religion.
These protest groups are lead by the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which is directed by Hamas and funded by Iran/Qatar. Every student who joins SJP or participates in one of its rallies should face disciplinary actions, including explusion. Parents of students who are involved with SJP should withhold tuition money for their children and write their children out of their wills.
Lead? Do you mean led?
or did she mean that their butts ought to be filled with lead? :-)
Yes, Of course, led.
I would be willing to bet a simple peek into influential faculty bank accounts would reveal the motivation for a lot of this madness. It's all part of the plan to destroy this country from within and the current administration is the facilitator.
You believe the rich are anti-capitalist and want to make the country poor. How would they benefit from that? Goofy.
To clarify, I am saying that foreign interests are paying school administrations and faculty to promote leftist propaganda.
Depends on what rich people you are referring. I am talking about foreign and domestic interests that are promoting communism to form a global society of "slaves" that serves their wealth and power. It's not a conspiracy theory anymore. The WEF is not hiding the fact that this is their goal.
Not really- just look what much of The Left has become ...the VERY THING they despised Republicans for being. I can easily make a list but it's all so obvious.
Yes, from the videos looks like a mix of freaks to me. The LGBTQ (H), the angry oppressed Muslims, the progressive blonde babe from Nebraska, and the post Jewish "as a Jew" leftist looking to get some points. I never thought a 52nd Islamic supremacist apartheid state would be the progressive cause of 2023.
Thanks. IтАЩm also a grad. I will follow up.
Where are Muslims oppressed? Criticizing an evil supremacist ideology is not oppression. Muslims have the same legal rights as everyone else.
I believe there was strong sarcasm in j p mтАЩs use of the term тАЬoppressed MuslimsтАЭ, hence the inclusion of the word тАЬangryтАЭ before it. Comment writing makes it difficult to convey тАЬtoneтАЭ.
Because they only control 99.8% of land area of the middle east and have the world's fastest growing religion
