This site ROCKS!

namaste luecy7,

Heck, I could be wrong, heavens knows I've been wrong before.

This was my response to someone who just insisted on swinging. There was no marriage intended or wanted, he simply wanted to put down, belittle and ridicule folks with other beliefs.

I was simply indicating this was not the intent of this forum.
Yes, but a marriage is more than words. Nobody merely talks to their spouses and kids through an internet forum, do they? It is kind of hard to have kids, right? It takes more than words to get to know somebody and have a relationship, though you can discuss interfaith and relationships with words. If you agree with me and you see interfaith as being anything like a marriage, and a marriage is founded based on differences, then take note that communication is just a component of it. A forum can be a place to discuss interfaith, commonalities and differences, but it is just not the place where it is experienced. Experiencing interfaith, I find, the differences do play the pivotal role. When speaking of differences in person, there is nothing that Farhan could say that would bother me in the least, because in person I would have to tolerate his words and viewpoints to get to know him / her. If I can't handle a person's differences here, then how am I ever going to handle the differences with a person in a true interfaith relationship?

Is there interfaith in Maryland? I am married, and I will certainly not be robbing a bank, but it looks like I will be in Maryland some day soon. It sounds like a popular place. What is popular in Maryland besides posting on a rocking UK internet forum about interfaith?
 
Curious - I would have thought a marriage comes from two people who, despite their differences, have commonalities and that bring them together. :)

Some people seek incestual relationships by one aspect or another. I'm not trying to knock the practice, but it is typically not referred to as interfaith.

In Bethesda there is a Synagogue attached (physically, spiritually and monetarilly) to a Presbytarian Church, and they have established a relationship with a Mosque. Unity Churches are Christian based but honor the beliefs of other religions.

Local Sufi's are involved in Dances of Universal Peace, which sings/dances/moves/chants various religions texts and prayers...
 
Thank you wil. In my opinion that is an interesting and relevant example of interfaith. I will attend the BJC - BHPC when I am there.
 
i agree - i think his views are appalling. however, it would just be too easy for me to do it, because it would feel like it was a personal thing given his particular attitude to jews. i would prefer it if someone else took the view that there was a case to answer, but so far, it seems to be tolerated.
I dont have any particular "attitude" towards jews, no matter how you want to twist my words. Yes, I dont, cant, & shouldnt accept such an obscenity as "Israel's right to exist". Thats has got nothing to do with Jews per se. Its just my disgust for terrorizing the natives & uprooting their orchards to make the land a home for somebody. Add to that, the continuous "kheemas eez responsible" whining during/after every mass murder of Palestinians, and further add to that the sick tactics used to hushup any opposition of Israel on poor western "free" media.

I can change my opinion though if Israelis give "aliyah" to the natives who were uprooted during the Israelization of ME. That ofcourse, will never happen.

As far as violent jihad is concerned, my views are very simple. Dont colonize humans if you dont like them fighting you back. If a thing is right for the empire, its right for the other people too.
 
Seems like the discussion has went a bit of topic, but I think this a great place and Brian has created wonderful opportunities with this site. Thank you Brian.

you certainly do and no twisting of your words is required. the way you speak about jews - not israel - is repellent. i can only ascribe it to the rampant jew-hatred in your media and education system - and i will call it as i see it.

Yes, I dont, cant, & shouldnt accept such an obscenity as "Israel's right to exist". Thats has got nothing to do with Jews per se.
then you don't know anything about jews. you are not obliged to accept israel's right to exist, that's true. but it is people like you that have made it impossible to live in many other places in the world, such as pretty much every so-called islamic country there is. all we demand is the right to national self-determination. this is no different from what the palestinians demand, nor is it incompatible with it. might i also point out that much of the jordanian population is palestinian in any case and never had to move. i don't notice you offering jordan as part of any future palestinian federation. way to go on the arab brotherhood, dude.

Its just my disgust for terrorizing the natives & uprooting their orchards to make the land a home for somebody.
i disagree with those kind of actions and have made my opposition abundantly clear, but your issue, equally clearly, isn't with israel's ACTIONS - it is with its EXISTENCE. you said so just above. by that logic, what difference would it make if israel treated palestinians better? can't you see that's part of the problem? this is the khartoum declaration all over again - you: no peace, no negotiations, no recognitions - fine. you want nothing except everything? you'll get nothing that way.

Add to that, the continuous "kheemas eez responsible" whining during/after every mass murder of Palestinians
i suppose this applies to those kids that had their throats cut in their sleep? what a proud act of resistance that was. how brave it was to fire missiles at that school bus. mass murder? go and look at what's going on in syria. *that* is mass murder.

and further add to that the sick tactics used to hushup any opposition of Israel on poor western "free" media.
yes, that must be why opposition to israel is sooo hard to find in any newspaper or tv show! you obviously don't have much exposure to "free" media.

I can change my opinion though if Israelis give "aliyah" to the natives who were uprooted during the Israelization of ME. That of course, will never happen.
and what's your position on the half of israel's population that came from iraq, syria, egypt, iran and yemen? where should they go? is the government of iraq going to grant iraqi citizenship to the hundreds of thousands of jews of iraqi descent in israel? are arab governments going to return the billions of dollars worth of jewish assets that were nationalised when they expelled their jews? where did they think these jews were going to go - uganda?

As far as violent jihad is concerned, my views are very simple. Dont colonize humans if you dont like them fighting you back. If a thing is right for the empire, its right for the other people too.
your lack of perspective with regard to this remark astounds me.

b'shalom
