Islamic Jihad continues launching rockets at southern Israel

I was raised in the Christian faith. Often it is taught that the Bible is the word of God and undebateable as the Muslim's believe the Koran is the word of God.

As I have read the ancient text, some of the books that did not make the Bible, etc. it seems that there were many views of God over the years before the Bible was assembled at the Nicene Convention in approximately 325 AD and then the Koran a few years later.

But what I keep coming back to is that Abraham is considered the father of the belief in one God. Through Abraham the Jewish people became the chosen people of God. Abraham's son Isaac an his progeny became the Jewish nation. But his son Ishmael became the progenitor of the Arabs who produced Muhammed and their one God. The chosen people kept not following the law of God and getting sent into bondage for hundreds of years at a time (Egypt and Babylon). Finally Christ Jesus came to teach that the Jews still weren't getting it right and opening the way to God to all who believed - Gentiles as well as Jews. And then after Christ Jesus came Muhammed bringing the same message to children of Ishmael.

Based on that quick summary, it seems to me the "one-God" that all three of the religions proclaim as their own is the same God - who's message has been to live in peace. The Ten Commandments are ten simple rules. The first four relate to honoring God. The last six relate to treating one another with respect.

So what are we fighting about?? It seems to me that God has tried sending the message many different ways through many different messengers (including ancient prophets before Muhammed) and we still are not getting it.

Why is there not more written and discussed about the similarites of these three great religions than their differences???

Kat,

I'm sure you are sincere, but what planet on you on?

Fast Jihad, Slow Jihad.

Even if there were a dime's worth of difference, it wouldn't be worth a plugged nickel.

Or, as the Gazan psychiatrist could but I very much doubt would tell his patients when they come in, wondering whether to pledge their allgiance to less corrupt Hamas or more corrupt Fatah, the Fast Jihad or the Slow Jihad:

Oedipus, schmoedipus, so long as he loves his mother.

Claiming that Christianity and Islam have the same God is much like claiming that China and Denmark have the same government.

Kat - quite simply Islam is evil - muhamed was an evil person who developed a "religeon" to satisfy his pesonal needs - sex power money etc-
IT HAS NOTHING IN COMMON WITH THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST.
Now why dont you fuck off and take your medication?

Olmert is now promising a "broad action" in Gaza to stop the jihadist rockets shot at Israeli towns from there. However, people don't trust Olmert. He supported the mad, criminal retreat from Gaza last year. It has lately been revealed that olmert intervened in the privatizing of a govt-owned bank in favor of his friends, including the American leftist millionaire, Daniel Abrahams. The police are supposed to start a criminal investigation of olmert's activities as acting minister of the Treasury last year after Netanyahu resigned from the govt. That is when olmert is supposed to have exercized his favoritism in the bank sale for his friends.
Many or most Israelis are waiting for olmert to stop being prime minister, one way or another. A criminal prosecution is a good as another.

I just want to say that Kat is pretty darn naive.

Robert,
your quasi Shakespearean reference is great, 'while Abbas struts', coupled with the truth of an emperor transparent 'cause he has no clothes' (islam is a sham).

Hugh,
great line on the son-mother bit; good to laugh these bastards off the stage.

Hear that Ibrahim: our cheerfulness and humour (and ridicule ) will finally expose you.

I think the point is that Islam is a uniquely virulent and lethal strain of monotheism that spreads through either killing or subordinating its host or turning into itself. This is something that Christianity has never managed to become. The difference is not academic. The difference is real. Islam is a plague that we ought to learn about and understand in all its subtle ways of working.

For the time being I would be grateful for anyone to direct me to the best source of information they know on the truth about the Palestinians. I am looking for the barest facts, the tightest arguments and the most cogent presentation. Thanks in advance.

Land for peace-what a great idea! I just hope THIS time when Israel decides to pound these parasitical palestinians they finish the job-no caving into world opinion. Just finish them off.
Completely.

kat, I forgot to mention that islam also condones rape and sexual relations with animals.

Romans
9:4 Who are Is’ra-el-ites to whom Pertaineth and adoption, and the glory, and covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and promises;
9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For thy are not all Is’ra-el, which are of Is’ra-el:
LOOK AT ALL THE MULSUMS IN ISRAEL
9:7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abra-ham, are they all children but, in I’saac shall thy seed be called.
REMEMBER ISHMAEL WAS ALSO A SEED OF ABRAHAM

But one must remember Jesus was from the seed of David who was from the seed of I'saac so that the Christians are the adoption not the frist born so were you saying that Jesus came to change the old phrophets then you should read the bible as it was written for you have erred in your thought!!!!

ROTFL!!

Gold star for you today!!

I think bird flu will kill a lot less people than the islamic flu. we are worried more about what might happen than about what is happening.

Kat:

It appears that you need to do quite a bit more studying about the differences between these religions. I think you have apparently misinformed yourself considerably about the comparisons between these religions.

There is no quick and simple summary here whatsoever that can be reached on any comparisons.

With all do respect; please come back in about 6 months and during the mean time study the History of Mohammed and the read the 114 surahs in the Quran along with the hadiths so you may be able compare the teachings in the Bible and the Torah.

Kat,
You might want to also study up on Christianity. You must know the truth before you can identify lies. As an anti-counterfeit agent studies the dollar to its minute details in order to discern a fake, so must one study the intricacies of the Bible in order to discern a false religion. After reading through alot of commentary on this site, I would hesitate to even call Islam a religion; but I would call it an oppressive death-cult whose brain washed minions spread like a disease.

Me neither I remember the 10th sent upon egypt for messing with his people and I see things alining the same look at the 1918 pandimic world screws his people in 1917 and 50,000,000 people died around the world .

in the 1930 to the 1940s again the world sits back and screws his people and 50,000,000 people die around the world

Yes a time warp will the world screw his people again I see that to be the case the thing is how ugly are things going to get?

I see over 210,000 dead mulsums killed by a killer wave

I see famie in Africa because of the mulsums killing others

I see over 200,000 dead mulsums killed by other mulsums in one state in africa

I see over 78,000 mulsums dead in Pakistan from a killer quake

I see over 30,000 mulsums dead in Iran from a killer quake

OF course for insurance we call all of these and act of God

And we can't forget Africa and the affects of the Locos that ate their crops and the pictures of all them dieing mulsums who have no food?

But of course china has come to their rescue or maybe not because China has had unsual flooding and winds and loseing their crops too??

A book was found July 25 this year in Irealand and it was 800 years old the pages were stuck on Pslms 83

Now many people don't believe in signs but I do.

The meaning of this passage was clear the islmalits were attacking Israel from Trye

Remember it was the world that made Israel give up their land in Gaza what did they do with this landthey gave up OH yea farm.

So now we see the world loseing farm land to drought and flooding.

all this globle warming is just that crap emember the dino's lived in a warm earth before man all the globle warming crap is to raise money for the jizzi tax.

HAS the islamic terrorist from lebanon and gaza given the Israeli soldiers back yet?

Maybe this is why the republicans are in trouble if they really are in trouble I some how don't believe they are.

But if the weather channel can't even get a hurrican right how can they controle the sun?

Yea the flu is nothing to worry about If you are stocked up.

Can we please get rid of the US State department since they are against the USA

I can't help but think of alger hess??

As I see mulsums burning France.

it is fun to play once and a while so I can see the point?

aaaaaaaaaaas mulsums kill children who are trying to help their people because their men are cowards and hide in holes while they send other children to kill others to pull on the heart strings of the normal people in the world
they send out their hit squads to distract from their monster ways

BUT CUTTING OFF THE HEAD OF A PERSON TRYING TO HELP HIS PEOPLE where are their men are hiding did they gather other men to hunt down these monsters who cut off the head of this Hero or are they still hiding behind women and puss pussys??

Oh the shame of the mulsums.

As the mulsums cry because they have no elec have no pity for them for they support these monsters who do these murders

sorry mackie but the cutting off of that boys head in Iraq because he was a Christian who was trying to help his people just pisses me off.

Is this not the same thing the mulsums are doing around the world then they send in their OH NO but it is the same god crap

mean while they shoot rockets and say oh but it aint our fault Maybe Israel and the west and India can start shooting some rockets and say but it aint our fault they made us do it!!

What is good for the goose is good for the gander!

At lest that is the way I see it

Called do unto others.

Part of the American Tribe

Nice "nation" those palestinian losers are building in Gaza. As usual they're more interested in tearing down Israel than building their nation.

I guess they're waiting for those stupid infidels to send troops over and build them one-just like in Iraq.

The thing, Kat, is that Islam considers itself to be "better" than Judaism and Christianity. Technically, to them, we are the dhimmi; inferior, lesser human beings.

And anyways, if we don't convert, or we don't accept dhimmi status, they fight us. It's what Muhammad taught. That is not the same message as Jesus. Muhammad isnt worthy of washing Jesus' feet in that regard.

l think kat was just hatched, and needs a lot of catching up on islam. being serious folks, kat probably just came of the liberal train, and trying find out what all the fuss is over islam. just have to be paitent with kat, there is hope she/he made it to this site. hang on kat your going to to be on an exciting ride of knowledge.

From The Israeli Project:

As Palestinians Intensify Attacks on Israeli Civilians, Israel Forced to Respond
Despite Discovery of Numerous Arms-Smuggling Tunnels, Israel Ensures Humanitarian Aid Flows to Palestinian Civilians to Ease Hardships

Israel will increase its military operations in the Gaza Strip in response to a recent rise in Qassam rocket attacks by Hamas [see timeline below], Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said on Monday, Oct. 30. One of the Qassam rockets fired Monday landed near an Ashkelon strategic structure.

"Israel is operating against Hamas centers in Gaza," Olmert told the Knesset (Parliament) Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. [2] "We will expand the operations, but we will not remain for an extended period in Gaza."

He also stressed that Israel will cooperate with the international community to facilitate the continuation of foreign aid into the Gaza Strip to help Palestinian civilians.

Olmert denied news reports that the Egyptian army had deployed thousands of troops along the Israeli border in recent days in order to prevent arms-smuggling into the Gaza Strip. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has in the last two months uncovered dozens of smuggling tunnels dug underneath the Gaza-Egyptian border by terrorist groups linked to Fatah, Hamas and the Iranian-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

On Sunday, Oct. 29, Hamas acknowledged publicly for the first time its role in digging such tunnels, in a statement mourning the death of Izz Eddeen al-Qassam Brigades member Bakr Na'eem Al-Assar, who died two days earlier in an accidental explosion in one such tunnel. "The Qassam fighters are working on top of and under the ground… Their guns are pointed and will remain directed at the one and only enemy, Israel," according to the statement.

Background and Key Facts

The number of Qassam rockets launched in October, in comparison to September, has increased drastically. According to the IDF, about 15 Qassams landed in Israel during September. In October, 72 Qassam rockets and 12 mortars were launched from Gaza into Israel. Twelve of the Qassams have landed in the southern Israeli city of Sderot.

In the past month, IDF ground troops have unearthed 14 tunnels Palestinians used for smuggling weapons from Egypt into the Gaza Strip. Additional shafts and uncompleted tunnels have been found near the Gaza anti-terrorist fence.

Oct. 18, 2006 During a single IDF operation to prevent weapons smuggling from Egypt into Gaza, the IDF uncovered five tunnels. Since the beginning of the IDF operations on Oct. 18, eight tunnels have been unearthed.

A tunnel of this type, dug under the Gaza fence into Israeli territory, was used in the attack on the Kerem Shalom crossing on June 25, in which two soldiers were killed and IDF Cpl. Gilad Shalit was kidnapped.

Shalit is still being held by his captors, three terrorist groups - The Army of Islam, the Izz Eddeen al-Qassam Brigades and the Palestinian Resistance Committees. The latter two are directly linked to Hamas.

Since Shalit's abduction, 25 tunnels have been discovered by IDF forces.

In September alone, 12 tunnels were found within a kilometer of the Gaza Strip town of Dahaniya, and three of the tunnel openings were found on the Egyptian side of the border with Gaza.

In the past five years, more than 15 Israeli citizens and foreign worker residents in Israel have been killed by Palestinian Qassam attacks both inside Gaza and in Israeli territory. Several of those killed or wounded were residents of the Israeli town of Sderot, which sits adjacent to the border of the Gaza Strip.

Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in Aug. 2005, making painful sacrifices as it uprooted about 9,000 citizens and resettled them in other parts of they country. The country also withdrew all of its troops, including from the strategically vital "Philadelphi corridor" running along the Gaza side of the Gaza-Egypt border fence.

When Israel completed its disengagement from Gaza, Egyptian and Palestinian troops agreed to patrol the Egypt-Gaza border. But that didn't stop the serious problem of arms smuggling; instead, said IDF sources, the rates at which weapons are smuggled into the Gaza Strip are increasing. Civilian property often provides cover for the tunnels, according to Lt. Col. Drory of Israel's Givati Infantry Brigade.

"The tunnels are often dug from within homes or agricultural areas," Lt. Col. Drory said. "When we asked the owners of the homes, they denied there are any tunnels present, but a search of the homes revealed the tunnel shafts."

Oct. 20, 2006 A tunnel used for smuggling weaponry was discovered near the Philadelphi corridor during an IDF operation. The tunnel was hidden inside a civilian home in the southern area of the Gaza Strip. A total of 14 tunnels have been unearthed since the operation began.

According to an IDF official, militant groups have also found a way to smuggle into Gaza light weapons and ammunition, and about 20 advanced anti-tank missiles since the end of the recent Israel-Hezbollah war.

Anti-tank missiles found in Gaza tunnels in recent weeks are similar to those used by Hezbollah militants in the recent war; which caused a number of IDF casualties on the Lebanese border.

Over the past year, Israeli officials say that among the tons of arms and explosives that have been smuggled into Gaza, Palestinians are obtaining 122-millimeter (mm) Grad rockets, which can be launched 18-30 km (11-19 mi.), placing major Israeli cities such as Ashkelon and Ashdod well within firing range.

On March 28, 2006 Palestinian Islamic Jihad launched a Grad-type Katyusha into Israel for the first time. Four Grad-type rockets in total have been fired into Israeli territory.

All the Katyusha rockets that have been fired from Gaza were 122 mm,the same as those found on the Karin-A ship captured by Israeli authorities in Jan. 2002. The ship was carrying a supply of weapons and munitions delivered by the Shiite terrorist group Hezbollah and paid for by Iran, [18] the leading state sponsor of terror.

The 122-mm Katyusha rocket was widely used by Hezbollah to attack Israeli civilians in northern Israel during the recent Lebanon war and is thought to comprise the bulk of its arsenal.

Defense Minister Amir Peretz said on Oct. 24, while touring the Gaza border area with the Southern Command, "We will not allow the Gaza Strip to turn into southern Lebanon and we will take action to prevent the strengthening of the terrorist organizations."

Gaza Civilians Receiving Extensive Aid

Although the Palestinian civilian population is undoubtedly experiencing some hardship due to the current security situation in the Gaza Strip, it is receiving extensive financial aid to prevent humanitarian suffering.

Both Israel and the international community, including the European Union, continue to hold back direct payment of funds to the Palestinian Authority, until the ruling Hamas party agrees to recognize Israel's right to exist, renounce terrorism, and agree to abide by existing agreements. But despite this, humanitarian aid benefactors' programs are operational, and Palestinians are receiving extensive financial and medical support.

The European Commission (EC), for example, has recently initiated its Temporary International Mechanism (TIM) for aid payments. Through the TIM, the EC has started paying social welfare allowances to 40,000 of the neediest Palestinian families.

The payments are in addition to stipends that have already been paid to health workers and those who have suffered a sudden drop in income and pensioners. Families selected to receive allowances through the TIM will receive $344 (€270) each. No regular payments have been made to the families since February 2006 due to the ongoing Palestinian Authority (P.A.) financial crisis.

In Sept. 2006 the Quartet (United States, European Union, United Nations and Russia) supported an extension of the TIM for a three month period and an expansion of its scope. So far, 1.3 million people in the Gaza Strip have gained access to water, health care and sanitation through the TIM. In the upcoming months, more than 600,000 people will benefit from social allowances under the TIM, including 12,000 health care workers, 55,000 other low-paid public service providers and pensioners and 40,000 families in greater need.

TIM has delivered over 2 million liters of fuel to Palestinians to ensure the continued supply of energy, in particular for hospitals and water sanitation in the Gaza Strip following the destruction of the Gaza power plant in July.

The European Commission is making $134 million (€105 million) available for the TIM from the Community budget and Member States have so far pledged an additional $98 million (€77 million). Together with the support granted through international organizations, UNRWA and NGOs, the total European Commission support to the Palestinian people will reach $420 million (€330 million) this year.Following EU Council approval, the TIM will be extended an additional three months.

Israel has permitted the Karni crossing and the Nahal Oz terminal to continue operations for the delivery of food and fuel to Palestinians despite the constant threat of terrorist attacks at these facilities.
