Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Muslim students again give Nazi salutes at Auschwitz

Rising anti-Semitism in Turkey goes hand-in-hand with its rising Islamization. “Again: Turkish Students Arrested for Nazi Salutes at Auschwitz,” by Ari Soffer for Israel National News, December 9 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Two Turkish tourists could face up to two years in prison for giving Nazi salutes outside the site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp in Poland.

The Turkish nationals – who according to Turkey’s Zaman news site are a man and woman, both aged 22 – are apparently studying history at Budapest university in neighboring Hungary.

They reportedly took pictures of each other making the offensive gestures underneath the infamous “Arbeit macht frei” (“Work makes you free”) sign, which stands at the entrance to the former death camp. The sign was one of the first – and for many, the last – things which the camp’s estimated 1.1 million victims, approximately 90% of whom were Jewish, saw upon arrival, after being offloaded from crowded cattle carts.

The pair will likely face charges for publicly promoting Nazi symbols in public, which is a criminal offense in Poland.

Rising anti-Semitism

This is not the first time Turkish students have been arrested for displays of fascism at the site of a former Polish concentration camp.

In a similar incident in October, two Turkish university students were arrested at the site of the Majdanik death camp after giving Nazi salutes to a group of Israeli students and shouting “Heil Hitler”.

The two protested their innocence at the time, saying they had only meant the gestures “as a joke”.

This latest incident once more shines a spotlight on growing anti-Semitism in Turkey, a phenomenon which has forced many young Turkish Jews to leave the country and which many analysts blame on the ruling Islamist AKP party, whose own leading officials have actively engaged in anti-Semitic rhetoric….

    Deceiving your own selves” (Jms. 1:22)..!!!!!!!!!!

    The Real Truth – America’s Hidden Debt; ECONOMY & PERSONAL FINANCE
    America’s Hidden Debt
    While fictional, these two accounts are close to reality for many Americans. The current economic climate fuels widespread debate over how the government should administer financial aid to individuals.
    Regardless, when one steps back to look at the “big picture,” the stark reality of the nation’s problems becomes painfully clear: America is in debt, still spending, and in big trouble. Worse, there is a staggering amount of debt that most overlook.
    Addicted to Spending?
    In 2009, the federal government set a deficit record of $1.4 trillion. For 2010, Washington plans to spend $3.5 trillion. The White House is predicting an additional $9 trillion over the next 10 years, meaning a total of more than $20 trillion in debt by 2020.
    Critics from the political party in the minority are quick to point out that this is a Democratic president doing all the spending. But under the previous president, a Republican, there were also substantial deficits and the federal budget grew by a record $700 billion from 2001 to 2008.
    The result of years of overspending is a federal debt of $13.6 trillion. But this number hides the truth
    Sadly, the reality is this: almost everyone in the United States—even regular churchgoers—disregard Almighty God, instead trusting in the “almighty dollar” and a government ruled by the people. While every penny declares “In God We Trust” and people belt out the chorus of “God Bless America”—talk is cheap. The nation has ignored what God truly desires: “Be you doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves” (Jms. 1:22)..
    Above not my product till the time also just look another words from Bible James 2:20-22; Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
    Face look difference and guide-book !!
    During that destroy period top worst solutions face look spoken no chance in this world !!!! !!!! Not only USA But India also same tough and unlimited difference gap middle deep pitfall !! Just look back !!!
