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

Synagogue goes global with crash course on jihadist threats to Christians and Jews

Jun 11, 2016 5:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Christians face extinction in the Middle East from Islamic terrorism while Israel faces an existential threat, also due to organized Islamic terrorism. Let’s also not forget the violent Islamic conquests that raged through and conquered vast regions of the Middle East in the 7th century, long before the Christian Crusades — which were wrong in their violence toward Jews and in other ways — but which also stopped the Islamic incursion into Europe.

Christians and Europeans in general have since evolved, building societies with full equality and human rights for all, while Jihadists continue rampaging and terrorizing the globe with the intention of reviving the successes of their violent historic conquests.

Bravo to a synagogue in a Boston suburb that featured an event entitled, “Jews, Evangelicals, Israel—We Are in This Together: Evangelical Support for Israel and the Fight against the Genocide of Christians in the Middle East”, which educated people on how to counter propaganda with fact. The event also focused on the insidious efforts to undermine Christian support for Israel.

“Local Synagogue Goes Global With Crash Course on Threats to Christians and Jews”, by Sean Savage, JNS News, June 6, 2016:

Half a world away from American suburbia, Christians and other Middle East minority populations are facing extinction from Islamic terror groups such as the Islamic State. At the same time, Israel, the world’s lone Jewish state, deals with the organized terrorism of Hamas and Hezbollah as well as so-called “lone wolf” Palestinian terrorists. While these events may seem too distant for most Americans, residents of the Boston suburb of Stoughton, Mass., got a crash course on global dangers as part of an inventive interfaith event at a local synagogue last week.

The event—titled “Jews, Evangelicals, Israel—We Are in This Together: Evangelical Support for Israel and the Fight against the Genocide of Christians in the Middle East”—featured Dr. Tricia Miller and Dexter Van Zile, Christian media analysts for the Boston-based Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA), who addressed an audience of Jews and Christians about the ongoing Middle East threats and efforts to undermine Christian support for Israel.

Miller told JNS.org that such events help equip people to “counter terror and propaganda with fact, and encourage them to take action when need be,” in addition to fostering interfaith solidarity…..

    “Dr” Ali Gommaa must be brought to the International Penal Tribunal.

      International tribunal. All I can say is I laugh when I see Egyptian Muslims acting like Muslim fundamentalists like Arabs. Very funny because that vast majority of Egyptian Muslims who are not a member of any tribe are simply desendents of Christians who were forced to become Muslim because of fear and psychological stress during caliphates ruling in Egypt in the past. Interesting all he needs to do along with Muslims in Egypt is look back a couple of generations of there great great great great families to know the truth and reality. But Muslims in Iraq and Syria are pure Arabs with a different history. I am a Muslim from the gulf and when I see Egyptian Muslims acting like fundamentalists I laugh and say turn around and know your roots.

    The date says it all. The Muslim Brotherhood were weaning the west on their “charm offensive” as part of their propaganda war. When the government continued to clamp down on them, the mask came off for local consumption. Thus came the rhetoric from goons like this Dr. Ali Gomaa.

    Mubarak knew the MB had to be crushed – but the MB was helped into power by foreign support. I wonder wonder who that could be!!

    The synagogue congregation and its rabbi are to be commended for their sense of reality when all about them are in DENIAL hoping the alligator of jihad will leave them alone if they pretend they do not see him.

    It is said that in Nazi Germany, it was the PESSIMISTS who survived. The OPTIMISTS PERISHED in Nazi Germany, because they did not believe the WORST could happen. They were Pollyannas.

    Today our Western elites are the optimists. They are POLLYANNAS in the matter of JIHAD.

      They are POLLYANNAS…

      It’s true, they are living in La La land for islam. If they want to die for allah then let them go into a corn field and shoot themselves in the head. We have a right to defend ourselves, I’m sure you’d agree.

    The Grand Muff has said nothing controversial, merely stating
    unchanging islamic principles.
    Judeo Christian religions have evolved, which is why, as an
    atheist, I usually defend their values.
    One thousand years ago, most Popes would have supported conversion
    or death.
    The West has moved on since then, which is why the poorest Westerner
    has more choice, education & more opportunities than any muslim,
    Unless, of course, the muslim in question is a male member of the Saudi
    royal family.

    • billybob says

      Jun 11, 2016 at 12:48 pm

      While I’m sure that the fact that you “usually defend the values” of Judeo Christian religions may be appreciated by some, your comment shows little understanding of those religions you “usually” defend.

      Because of your poor understanding, your defence is not very effective, and in fact plays into the hands of those who wish to imply all religions share some fundamental equivalency. They then employ this argument to state Islam is no different than any other religion. In my following discourse, I will only address the Christian religion, as I know next to nothing about Judaism…

      You state “Judeo Christian religions have evolved”. Addressing Christianity only, I will state that in fact it has not evolved at all! It remains exactly the same as it always was, a beautiful and peaceful religion that promotes peace, tolerance, and love.

      I don’t think you know what a Christian is. A Christian is simply a follower or disciple of Jesus Christ, just like a Muhammadan is a follower or disciple of Muhammad.

      Now at this point please bear with me. You have informed us that you are an atheist, and I think that is absolutely fine. I totally respect that, and have not the slightest desire to change your mind, nor is it that required for you to understand what I am about to say…

      I am certain that you are capable of researching any given topic and report about what some character in a novel says, or what the historical record says about the teachings of some famous person, whether that be Mahatma Ghandi or Genghis Khan or even Jesus Christ. In this spirit then, I would ask to to reflect just for a moment on the teachings of Jesus Christ. I am sure that you are aware that he taught things like “Love thy neighbour”, “Do unto others”, and even “Love thine enemy”. Furthermore, he taught “Turn the other cheek” implying he was against violence and in favour of love and compassion. That is the historical record of his reported words.

      Whether you believe he really existed is irrelevant. We are investigating the record here, and thereby its implications for followers of Christ that believe that record – NOT its implications for you. This is not about you.

      So then you can understand that teaching never changed one bit. There was never anything that needed to change, because at a minimum, I’m sure you can agree, such a teaching is totally innocuous.

      Now you make a reference to what some Popes may have done in the historical past “One thousand years ago, most Popes would have supported conversion or death” without any references. However, let us for the sake of argument accept that is true, and in fact, there probably is some truth to that. The fact is, whatever they did that did not conform with the teachings of Jesus is a reflection of their own ambitions and not a reflection on the teachings of Jesus. Get my point?

      My point is that Muhammad was a violent warlord, who murdered, raped and enslaved and committed all manner of vile acts, yet people actually follow his teachings and even worship him as an exemplary model for their own lives. That is as it was in the beginning in the 7th century and remains the same to this very day.

      On the other hand, Jesus Christ was purportedly a man of love, compassion, peace, and forgiveness, and there are people who actually follow his teachings and even worship him as an exemplary model for their own lives. That is as it was in the beginning in the first century and remains the same to this very day. For this reason, I would hope you defend their values and condemn the values of the Muhammadans.

        Thankyou! I am a Christian, and the thought of hurting anyone is horrible. I just don’t want to do it, and am saddened by the violence that I read about daily, and pray daily that this daily jihadi business doesn’t affect our American shores any more than it already has, and that if they must kill someone, let it be each other, but rather convert to the peaceful teachings of Jesus. It is an abomination to think it is pleasing to God to chop off a chlld’s head and hands, or anyone’s head and hands for that matter.

      Jun 11, 2016 at 2:37 pm

      To add to the commentary of the poster below, no, popes of a millennium ago did not support “conversion of death.” I can only assume that you made that statement based on stereotype (“They were medieval Christians, so they must have been backward and violent”). The reality is that Christianity NEVER was like Islam — not even remotely close.

    • Raja says

      Jun 12, 2016 at 11:59 am

      Marty,

      What Islamic value you are talking about? I thought Islamic value revolved around ONLY HATE, MURDER AND LIES ! Could you educate me on the Islamic values?

      One pope or a hundred popes do not constitute Christianity I guess Billybob has done a stupendous job in explaining things to you.

      By the way what do you mean by “conversion or death” ? who started it and practiced it for centuries ?

      Truth seems to be causality with you or may be it is too scarce with you…

    These grass roots efforts do help. It’s encouraging and comforting to hear others do the right thing and make a stand against muslim hostility and terrorism. And it doesn’t require propaganda either, or lies, just the plain old truth. Unlike our taqiyya enemy that is always distorting reality to render us the bad guys for speaking out against their religious jihad and bigotry. They’re still using that same old inane response that we’re bigots and islamophobes, but that pretty-much has run its course among the intelligent. It’s not about their skin color, or their cloths, or accent, it’s about their unyielding and conquering culture and religion in our midst. We have a right to defend who we are and protect our heritage and future. The people aren’t buying this whole multicultural myth any more, we know bullsh*t when we see it. I want our democratic peace and freedoms without muslims’ pecking at us with their murderous love for allah. And that’s how it always goes with muslims, they’re not happy unless they’re bringing everyone else around them down to their level. The traitorous left is working their hardest to cram islam down our throats at the expense of our freedoms and happiness. And I think it’s time we let them know we won’t stand for it.

    • Jerry says

      Jun 11, 2016 at 8:24 am

      We need more leaders with the smarts and insight who understand, islam is unlike any other threat we have ever faced. They are here among us, using our own system against us. Their agenda and motives are clear, the detrimental effects unmistakable. New problems can’t always be solved with old methods. We have too many out there trying to make islam’s mammoth hate machine fit our constitutional system of fairness and equality. It was never part of our founders’ vision that we should tolerate murder and conquest for religion. But that’s the core principle in islam, muslims are to “fight,” or “retaliate,” or “slay,” or “strive hard against,” or “smite the necks of,” the idolaters, unbelievers, apostates, or “people of the book.” In other words, everyone that ain’t like them, violent, hateful, and idiotic.

      If we don’t act now to stop islam in America we’re going to end up a very tolerant tyranny, where everyone tolerates islam, and islam tolerates no one.

    Christine – I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. In fact, it is good news that somebody is speaking out on the plight of Christians, as well as promoting awareness of the nefarious efforts to undermine Christian support for Jews.

    However, I took exception to your preamble, where you felt it necessary to mention and condemn the Christian Crusades. This was a very long time ago now, and has nothing to do with the news you bring us! Furthermore, you felt the need to state that “Christians … in general have since evolved”. Why was it necessary to clarify that which was 1.) irrelevant to the topic and 2.) needed no such clarification?

    In fact, Christians have NOT evolved one bit. A Christian is simply a follower or disciple of Jesus Christ. Christ’s message has not changed. It is as it was in the beginning. Therefore followers of Christ have not changed. Though Muhammad said the bible had been corrupted over time, there is no truth to that rumour.

    • Elisheva says

      Jun 11, 2016 at 8:45 pm

      I think what Christine was commenting on was the relationship between Christians and Jews historically. Many Christians worldwide still do not support Israel and might actually side with the Muslim world against the Jews.

    I can’t believe that this event went smoothly, without the “outrage” and protests of CAIR and pro-Palestinian student organisations disguised as human rights activists (or some other similar groups),
    Robert, I hope you’ll be invited as a speaker on the next event of this nature. There’s no one more knowledgeable with facts on Islam and the threat it poses to the Western world than you.

  11. Observer says

    Jun 12, 2016 at 8:27 am

    The event took place without incident to a very large crowd. Robert has spoken at this synagogue on numerous occasions to ever increasing crowds. This synagogue has been hosted such events for well over 18 years and has done so with fanfare.

    Israel should take in all the Yezidis and Middle-Eastern Christians.
