re: #291 CuriousLurker

I’m not conflating anything. What Ludwig said was very clear. It was extreme and way out of line. It doesn’t make me happy because it pretty much destroyed my respect for him and makes me see him in a completely different light.

I’m 100% sure that if I’d made a similar statement people would drastically reassess their opinions of me as well. If people want extremism to stop then they should damned well stop saying extreme things.

I’m going to leave now before I lose respect for anyone else.

Really?

OK

So are you telling me that people have a right to build mosques on top of my holiest site, desecrate other sites that are holy to my people and murder my people and then expect no response?

Listen very clearly.

My people give and give and give for peace. We are repaid in blood each time.

We give up our holy sites and pretend they don’t mean so much to the detriment of our national honor and spirit. It is seen as a weakness by a barbarous enemy that only ever demands more.

Enough is enough.

These people live in the dark ages. They do not get a pass for being barbarians.

We spend day after day talking about how awful right wing Republicans are for their treatment of education, of gay people and of women. What of the murders and the honor killings? Are those just OK? Why are you OK with them? If you are I lose respect for you.

What exactly does Palestinian education, or treatment of women or gays look like. Don’t hand me some pablum either. Either we hate unjust medieval thinking or we don’t. I at least do not make exceptions only for white Americans when they act like barbarians.

As to the ABOMINATION on my holiest site, it is. I did not mispeak. Seeing it means my people are giving up on themselves and their own heritage. This is not some bizzare case of national hysteria about a creeping Sharia that isn’t herre in the US. This is the real life Bais Hamikdash. It is not yours. It is not holy to Three religions. You have your own stuff. It is ours.

I would not want a church their either, any more than a Muslim would want a Church in Mecca. The only difference is that Jews and Christians won’t murder people as quickly over such things.

Why can you not respect other faiths as much as you demand respect for your own?

Further, as to war,yes indeed. I am tiredm, sick and tired of the endless bloodletting. Attack after attack and almost no reprisal. It is high time this gets fought decisively in my opinion.
