Mother of dead soldier vilifies Bush over war PRESIDENT RIDICULED AT INTERFAITH RALLY By Frank E. Lockwood HERALD-LEADER STAFF WRITER The president of Gold Star Families for Peace, a mother who lost a son in Iraq, criticized the United States' "illegal and unjust war" yesterday during an interfaith rally in Lexington. Cindy Sheehan of Vacaville, Calif., accused President Bush of lying to the nation about a war which has consumed tens of billions of dollars and claimed more than 1,700 American lives -- including the life of Army Specialist Casey Austin Sheehan. Sheehan was one of more than a dozen activists who were scheduled to speak at yesterday's anti-war rally at the Red ...

Lost to the Only Life They Knew Officials say more than 400 teenage boys have fled or been driven from a polygamous sect. By David Kelly Times Staff Writer June 13, 2005 ST. GEORGE, Utah — Abandoned by his family, faith and community, Gideon Barlow arrived here an orphan from another world. At first, he played the tough guy, aloof and hard. But when no one was watching, he would cry. The freckle-faced 17-year-old said he was left to fend for himself last year after being forced out of Colorado City, Ariz., a town about 40 miles east of here, just over the state line. "I couldn't see how my mom would let them do what they did to me," he said. When he tried to visit ...

Woman Evangelist Says She is More Loyal to the Israeli State than to America By David Duke . . Jewish supremacists have infiltrated the halls of government as witnessed by the Neocon takeover of American foreign policy and the waging of the insane war for Israel in Iraq. They have gained a working supremacy over the American news and entertainment media. And now they have even been able to widely influence a segment of the community that has traditionally opposed their power: Christian evangelicalism. Not only do they influence the televangelists through their power over the airwaves, but they now control many of the key Christian publishing houses. They have led naive Christians to ...
The Trouble with Juadaism, Israel Shamir's Warning to Jews

The Trouble With Judaism Israel Shamir's Warning To Jews By Henry Makow, PhD 6-11--5 Israel Shamir's new essay collection, "Pardes," contains a prescient and shocking warning to Jews and to humanity as a whole: Judaism wants to make the Jewish people the intermediary between God and man replacing Christ, says Shamir, an Israeli Jew who converted to Christianity. Essentially, he says "the Jews" want to be God. Jewish Messianism (the building of a humanist "earthly paradise" according to Jewish specifications) replaces spiritual salvation. The Jewish Holocaust replaces Christ's Passion. That's why in the media it takes precedent over the other 60 ...

Cordoba, Spain - A law-enforcement expert affiliated with the American Jewish Committee told representatives of the 55 member Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe today that a pilot project he headed to train European police in dealing with hate crimes has proven successful and should be expanded. In a keynote speech on the opening day of the OSCE Conference on Anti-Semitism and Other Forms of Intolerance, Paul Goldenberg presented the results of the Law Enforcement Officer Training Program for Combating Hate Crimes. Goldenberg, AJC's senior consultant for international law enforcement issues, was invited a year ago by the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human ...

Jesus died of blood clot, Israeli researcher says

JERUSALEM - An Israeli researcher has challenged the popular belief that Jesus died of blood loss on the cross, saying he probably succumbed to a sometimes fatal disorder now associated with long-haul air travel.Professor Benjamin Brenner wrote in The Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis that Jesus’ death, traditionally believed to have occurred 3 to 6 hours after crucifixion began, was probably caused by a blood clot that reached his lungs.Such pulmonary embolisms, leading to sudden death, can stem from immobilization, multiple trauma and dehydration, said Brenner, a researcher at Rambam Medical Center in Haifa.“This fits well with Jesus’ condition and actually was in all ...
Why Ridley Scott's story of the Crusades struck such a chord in a Lebanese cinema

Having lived in Lebanon 29 years, I too found tears of laughter running down my face Long live Ridley Scott. I never thought I'd say this. Gladiator had a screenplay that might have come from the Boy's Own Paper. Black Hawk Down showed the Arabs of Somalia as generically violent animals. But when I left the cinema after seeing Scott's extraordinary sand-and-sandals epic on the Crusades, Kingdom of Heaven, I was deeply moved - not so much by the film, but by the Muslim audience among whom I watched it in Beirut. I know what the critics have said. The screenplay isn’t up for much and Orlando Bloom, playing the loss-of-faith crusader Balian of Ibelin, does indeed look - as The ...

As parades filled the streets of Jerusalem Monday - Jerusalem Day - the reestablished Sanhedrin convened in the city to elect a Nassi and representatives to lead it. The current format of the Sanhedrin is an attempt to renew the historic Sanhedrin, Judaism's highest legal-religious tribunal during Holy Temple times. The 71-man assembly convened in one of the Holy Temple chambers, and existed from several decades before the Common Era until roughly 425 C.E. The renewed body was launched last year in Tiberias, now convenes in Jerusalem, and is still struggling to gain wide acceptance and legitimacy in the Torah world. Since its launching last October in Tiberias, where it last convened 1,600 ...
Ohio State Highway Patrol Cadets Study Holocaust

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- State Highway Patrol cadets participated in sensitivity training based on a study of police in Nazi Germany, joining a small group of law enforcement agencies that used the tool. Last week, 38 cadets sat through a four-hour lecture discussing how the Nazis used police to harass labor leaders, teachers, clergy members, gypsies and the mentally retarded -- and eventually to kill Jews. Patrol Superintendent Paul D. McClellan decided to include the Holocaust education in the cadets' 30 weeks of overall training because he wants to show his cadets how not to perform when they graduate. "It's my job to set the tone for how we deal with our citizens," McClellan ...

Just give me that old-time atheism! "Not believing in God is no excuse for being virulently anti-religious or naïvely pro-science," says Dylan Evans, a professor of robotics at the University of West England in Bristol. Evans has written an article for the Guardian of London deriding the old-fashioned, "19th-century" atheism of such prominent thinkers as Richard Dawkins and Jonathan Miller, instead proposing a new, modern atheism which "values religion, treats science as simply a means to an end and finds the meaning of life in art." Indeed, he says, religion itself is to be understood as "a kind of art, which only a child could mistake for reality ...

Historic settlement is nation's largest by church to date in sex scandal The Diocese of Covington has agreed to pay up to $120 million to those who were allegedly molested by priests and other church employees over the past half century, the largest payout yet from any diocese in America in the Roman Catholic Church's sexual abuse crisis.The record-setting settlement, which eclipses those in abuse cases in much larger dioceses in Boston, Orange County, Calif., and elsewhere, comes in response to a lawsuit charging that church officials deliberately covered up the abuse for decades.It also dwarfs the $3 million that Archdiocese of Cincinnati officials agreed to put into a victims' ...

Christ Was Not A Jew Jesus Christ Was Not A Jew: Does this shock you? We certainly hope it does. For it is time that Christians woke up to the fact that they have been brainwashed by the Jews with the "big lie technique" to the falsehood that Christ was a Jew. We ask you now, to set aside all prejudice in the matter and as God states in the Bible, "Come let us reason together." (Isaiah 1:18) There are two ways that a person can be a Jew; racially (which means a cross between the descendants of Esau and True Israelites 49; There is Edom [Esau is called Edom in Genesis 36:8. And Edom is in 'Modern Jewry' Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Vol. 5, p. 41) or religiously. ...

"Church of Bush" Gets $3 Million in 2006 Budget By Ezekiel Franklin Watley May 31, 2005The Watley Review After months of denial and evasion, the White House has finally admitted that it is aware of a religious sect which considers President Bush to be a divine figure. Moreover, the sect is apparently scheduled to receive $3 million in funding through the Compassion Capital Fund (CCF), part of a three-year initiative included in the President's 2006 budget. The sect, officially known as the Texas Christian Divine Fellowship of the New Millennium, is more commonly called the Church of the Burning Bush by its members. Its total membership is estimated to number approximately 1,600 ...
Bible-belt town bans blasphemy

Bible-belt town bans blasphemy AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The name of the Lord may no longer be taken in vain in the Dutch village of Staphorst. Staphorst, in the so-called Dutch "bible belt" of eastern towns where religion holds sway, approved a ban on swearing by 13-4 council votes. But the caveat that swearing is not banned when it is an expression of the constitutional freedom of speech may make it difficult to punish offenders. "A ban on swearing can be seen as a signal," the council's proposal said, adding a change in moral values was needed to address the underlying problem. Past swearing bans in bible-belt villages were declared in violation of the right to free ...

The Thirteenth TribeTHE KHAZAR EMPIRE AND ITS HERITAGE This book traces the history of the ancient Khazar Empire, a major but almost forgotten power in Eastern Europe, which in the Dark Ages became converted to Judaism. Khazaria was finally wiped out by the forces of Genghis Khan, but evidence indicates that the Khazars themselves migrated to Poland and formed the cradle of Western Jewry... The Khazars' sway extended from the Black Sea to the Caspian, from the Caucasus to the Volga, and they were instrumental in stopping the Muslim onslaught against Byzantium, the eastern jaw of the gigantic pincer movement that in the West swept across northern Africa and into Spain. In the second part ...

The desecration of the Quran is a far worse insult to Islam and Arabs than even the indignities suffered by Iraqis at the hands of American troops in Abu Ghraib, writes Muqtader Khan* The reports in the media that Americans at Guantanamo facility allegedly desecrated the Quran to torture prisoners has unleashed an intense wave of anti-Americanism in the Muslim world, which has already caused 16 deaths. This is worse than Abu Ghraib; Abu Ghraib represents the physical and psychological torture of a few Muslims, Quran desecration represents a spiritual, emotional and psychological torture of all Muslims. Even if it turns out that The Newsweek report was false, most people will see it as a ...

Why the Bible Belongs in America's Public Schools Without knowing Scripture, kids can't understand literature or U.S. history. DAVID GELERNTER May 27, 2005 Teaching the Bible in public school raises ticklish problems. Because our public schools must not be used for preaching religion, they must teach the Bible purely as literature. And they must teach it tactfully, in light of the radically different viewpoints of various religious (and irreligious) communities in the United States. But without knowing the Bible, you can't begin to understand English literature or American history. And a recently published survey finds that American teenagers don't know the Bible well enough.

Megadeth's previously announced gigs in Greece — on June 17 and 18 in Athens and Thessaloniki, respectively — appeared to be in jeopardy over the participation of one of the scheduled support acts, Greek black metallers Rotting Christ, according to Blabbermouth.net. Dave Mustaine was reportedly willing to cancel Megadeth's Greek dates (to be more specific: wherever Rotting Christ are set to appear as support) due to his known dislike for black/death metal bands that depict religious issues in a negative light. Here's what a member of Megadeth's official forums posted concerning this issue and what Dave Mustaine posted in response (as found on the band's forums): April3rd: Well, ...

For a while last winter, Tim Havens, a recent graduate of Brown University and now an evangelical missionary there, had to lead his morning prayer group in a stairwell of the campus chapel. That was because workers were clattering in to remake the lower floor for a display of American Indian art, and a Buddhist student group was chanting in the small sanctuary upstairs. Like most of the Ivy League universities, Brown was founded by Protestant ministers as an expressly Christian college. But over the years it gradually shed its religious affiliation and became a secular institution, as did the other Ivies. In addition to Buddhists, the Brown chaplain's office now recognizes ...

The Guilty Lamb by Israel Shamir - May 20, 2005 Muslims can’t be respected if a simple come-on like wasting of the Koran works them up into a frenzy, exclaims Jeff Jacoby , and they go around murdering innocent folk; while “decent people”, Catholics, Jews and Buddhists take it easy if “someone has offended their religious sensibilities”. If that were the case, we still may respect the Muslim world. Our indifference to sacrilege and their awareness of things sacred would imply that our profaned civilisation is doomed to extinction to be replaced by the Muslim one, alive and vibrant - though disrespected by a Jacoby. But it is not the case at all. Jacoby is ...
