Your comment targeting one faith “Islam” as being behind a “world-wide rising tide of hate” is just plain bigotry. Racist comments have no place in Judaism.

Not to say that Islamo fascism is not dangerous of course it is…to claim ALL Muslims are involved is racist, full stop.

And if your Rabbi called me a “twit” (I have been called worse) he’s no Rabbi…no Rabbi I know would engage in namecalling. Methinks you are not telling the truth dear Sean.

And I agree not all Jews are CJC supporters. Not all Jews are Liberals or Conservatives or NDPers or or or..what’s your point?

BTW we rag on cjc a lot here. But here is an article CJC’s Farber had today in the Toronto Sun which I don’t think any of us here could disagree with (except maybe for Sean and his Rabbi)

And the “hate knows no faith” point is a lemon. Right now there is one particular faith that is behind a worldwide rising tide of hate. The sooner we start dealing with that fact, the better our odds of survival become.

I e-mailed my rabbi last night, incidentally, and he agrees with me. He thinks you’re a bit of a twit after reading these comments.

Not all Jews (or wannabes) are enamored with the CJC, especially not since the CIJA takeover that more or less separated the CJC from any semblance of being a democracy that serves the interests of its membership.

BTW Rabbinical authorities will also tell you that devout Jews do not use or imply how Ha”Shem will look upon people come the High Holy Days. It is consdiered highly improper in Judaism. Back to the books Sean.

I know that the CJC views Syed S. as a “moderate”. I know that Farber and Rudner of the CJC misrepresented the death of Pamela Waechter in a National Post column on Feb 19/08, making her death sound as if it was attributable to some Hitler Fanboy when the plain truth was that she was murdered by a radical Islamist. I know that an organization, which is purportedly concerned with preventing the recurrence of the atrocities that occurred under Hitler, should not be using the same legal devices and restricting the same freedoms that Hitler did.

Loshen hora, indeed.

Allow me to remind you of Maimonides’ tenth principle of Jewish faith:

I believe with perfect faith that the Creator, blessed be His name, knows all the deeds of human beings, and all their thoughts, as it says: “Who fashioned the hearts of them all, Who comprehends all their actions.”

When the books of account are opened on Rosh Hashanah, I think I’ll probably fare better than certain CJC employees. Maybe they’ll luck out and get a respite until Yom Kippur, but I rather doubt it.

Just Google CJC and Islamic extremists. You will be surprised to see that it was CJC that challenged Vision TV when a radical Imam was on one of their programs. You will also be surprised to see that it was CJC that publicly called on a leading Canadian Muslim leader to resign his office after he was found to support an extremist Islamic website where a positive poem on beheading was posted. It was CJC that began a procedure that helped keep a radical British Imam form coming to Canada.

There’s more Sean but you need to study. That’s what Judaism is all about study, learning and not engaging in “loshen hora”, in ugly mistruths of gossip-mongering that casts negative aspersions. But Im sure your rabbi has taught you all this.

But when the open, vicious and truly threatening antisemitism comes from segments of the Muslim community, he and Warman put on sunglasses, turns the other way and start whistling for a cab.

The Muslimsareitch post Kevin linked to above puts this apparent double-standard directly to the test: How will Kinsella and/or Warman respond when a Holocaust-denying guy named Hal Turner posts antisemitic words, but on a *Muslim* website? Will they go after him, or do antisemitic whiteys get uncontested sanctuary in the bosom of Islamism?

WWKD?

As someone who is in the process of studying to convert to Judaism, I’d just like to say that the CJC has as much relevance to my Jewish identity as the McDonald’s restaurants Special Deals Menu does. Which is to say, none whatsoever.

Having lived a couple of towns over from Terry Long’s turf, I’m pretty confident that I could wear a kippah around Caroline AB all day long without worrying about my safety. I would not feel equally safe in certain parts of say, Scarborough, TO. And we all know damn well that it wouldn’t be Aryans I would have to worry about attacks from.

If Warren is looking for Righteous Gentile status, he should shift his attention from the pretend “Nazi” threat to the very real and growing Islamist one. It would be especially lovely if he could convince his bosom buddy, Bernie F, to do the same.

I won’t be holding my breath.

i don’t reckon this will be the most relaxing carefree holiday super K has taken….any reasonable man would admit his ‘rep’ is in tatters…

but i AM looking forward to the vacation fotos….his pictures of every toilet stall from Atlanta to Biloxi to Shreveport to Pensacola and on to Ft Lauderdale will be ripping entertainment.

i can almost see and hear him being snappish cranky and out of sorts…perhaps even carrying a hip flask…and mainlining Murine…..kicking puppies out of his path…drawing on inside straights and so on…
