| "you don`t seem to care for facts very much" (Simcha) Perhaps. But if `caring for facts` means insulting 20 per cent of my fellow Israeli citizens, juste because they profess the "wrong" faith - then I prefer not to. "Which part of Moshe Feiglin`s statement [see #5] is not true?" (Simcha) Arabs are not monkeys. That`s one. Then, fact is you CAN teach Arabs democracy. See the Arab members of the Knesset, and the elections to the Palestinian parliament. Granted, there is still no Arab democratic country, but saying something equivalent to stating that the ignorance of democracy is inscribed in the Arab genome is scandalously racist. Not all nation on this planet have followed the same historical track as the European countries. "he also consumated his marriage with his favorite wife when she was 9 years old" (Simcha) It seems that the father of the bride saw nothing wrong in it. Aisha was the young daughter of Abu Bakr, a friend and confidante of Muhammad. Judging something that occured some 14 centuries ago according to modern standards inevitably leads to mistaken conclusions. And who can tell with absolute certainty how old was Sarah when Abraham, our common ancestor, married her? |
