. December 12, 2006 SouthAmerica: Here is some information about Islam. It is estimated that today âIslamâ has about 21 percent market share of the global religion market. It is estimated that there are between 1 million to 1.2 million people around the world who follows the Islam religion. There are two major sects of Islam â The Sunnis (80 percent) â The Shiites (18 percent) â And other (2 percent.) ********* SouthAmerica: I have a good friend who is a marketing teacher at a local college here in New Jersey. He is a very interesting fellow and we spend hours talking about religion and philosophy. I learned a lot from him regarding Hinduism, Buddhism, the other religions of India, and Persia, and also about the history of India. He was born in India and his family follows the Hinduism religion. He did work for many years as a marketing executive for a multinational and he had the chance of traveling all over Africa, and the Middle East on behalf of his company. He told me that based on his many years of actual experience traveling all over Africa and the Middle East he observed and was able to grasp a major difference between Sunnis and Shiites. He told me that usually the Sunnis are the better-educated group on most countries, they were more accommodating, more tolerant, more flexible, and they made the bulk of the business class who were interested in trading with other people and so on⦠The Shiites usually were the less educated class, the poorer people on these countries, and they were less tolerant, and a lot more radical regarding religion and so on⦠If we look at the Middle East and analyze country-by-country maybe my friendâs perceptions and observations are correct â the only person and group that does not fit his generalization is Osama Bin Ladden and Al Qaeda - but still he is a Sunni, he is wealthy, and he is very well educated. .
. December 14, 2006 SouthAmerica: I did watch a portion of the Charlie Rose Show to hear what Henry Kissinger had to say about Mess O Potamia. Why all these guys want to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons? Now that Israel, made official what everybody knew for a long time anyway â that Israel has over 100 nuclear weapons â why the other countries in the area can't also develop nukes? Israel is not the only country in the Middle East armed with nukes â Saudi Arabia also has about 8 nuclear weapons that they acquired from Pakistan. Charlie Rose asked a question to Kissinger regarding what former President Carter said about the Jewish Lobby having to much power regarding US foreign policy. President Carter had the courage to say what has been obvious to me for the last 30 years. But a lot of talking heads on television are on President Carterâs case because of what he said about Israel. The holocaust is back in the news once again. That subject canât go away. The president of Iran has no idea how annoying that subject is â I have been saturated about holocaust talk since the 1970âs. I donât want to hear another word about the holocaust anymore. Enough is enough. I am sick and tired of hearing over and over again about something that has happened many years before I was even born. Today we have a holocaust underway in Africa that most of the world is ignoring - why should the world care about a holocaust that happened long ago? Please spare me - I donât want to hear another word about the 1940's holocaust. .
. December 17, 2006 SouthAmerica: Tonight I started watching â60 minutesâ on CBS, but guess what? After watching â60 Minutesâ for about 2 minutes and realized the subject of their program I did change the channel and did watch something else. The subject of the â60 Minutesâ program was the holocaust (the Jewish holocaust of the 1940âs) â The people at CBS has no idea how saturated I am of hearing about that holocaust. Enough is enough. I am getting to the point of âwho cares about that holocaust?â I am sick and tired of that same old story. After what Israel did to Lebanon and the Lebanese people this past summer, and what they have been doing to the Palestinian people for a long time â the marketing of that old holocaust it does not work anymore for me and for a lot of other people. I am glad I was watching television and had a choice of watching something else â by the way, I watched instead the program on PBS with Bill Moyers which turned out to be an excellent choice. I know a number of people who are also saturated of stories about the Jewish holocaust, and they also change their channel to watch something else. .
The obvious question that nobody ever seems to ask is why ? Why have the Jews been persecuted since the time of Moses and probably before ?????????????????? The follow on obvious question is what have they learnt from these unpleasant experiences ?????????????
you looking for the answer in the wrong place. it is more likely that other had problems with the jews. and if you ask THAT question, it becomes quite obvious: jealousy. the jews could read. they could talk, they could teach, they could think. the real reason why they ever got into all this money business was, that they were not allowed to do anything else. the jews were called: "men of the book". they told their children (girls as well) how to read at times when the illiteracy quote around them was well above 90%. it is quite obvious. everything else, including stubborness or godmurders does not really work ...
Isn't it amazing how many people are jealous of the Jews? Such a small population of Jews worldwide and such inordinate accomplishment. Almost all my clients are Jewish and they are all worldly, well educated, loving, generous people with incredibly strong family ties. Sure there may be exceptions - I guess the fact that I have yet to meet one doesn't mean much. I must say that ET provides an unscientific basis for evaluation of anti-Semitism. After all, it doesn't take a Nobel Prize-Winner to figure out that almost every one of the members here who post anti-Semitic remarks are...well, let's just say that they're not the sharpest knives in the drawer. PS - I haven't reviewed SA's thread to see if his comments are generally anti-Semitic. If he says he's sick of hearing about the Holocaust (not textbook anti-Semitism) he nevertheless is almost certainly one. His comments are kind of pointless, at best. But then for a man who is personal friends with Presidents Nixon, Clinton, Bush and the Queen of England, and who predicted the last three bull markets in stocks and the Christmas Tsunami, maybe some leeway has to be given.
yeah. what to learn from the holocaust. what to learn from thousands of years of unfairness, broken guarantees, insane cruelties. have these fools not yet learned IT? that they rather, better, should ... vanish? let me help you saying clear what you are obviously struggling with: if we rape her long enough, she sure is a bitch, right? buddy? besides, nice name, humpy.
can't help it. must come back to your cute, little post. so you really think that you are among the first two million raising the "obvious question that nobody ever" seemed to ask? humpyhoney, this, sorry: stupid, question is almost as old as the crowd that ran after the first jewish girl to rape her.
