Gustave, Will you also supplying us with articles about muslim hatred of hindus or muslim hatred of christians? I can only conclude that you are vapid racist as is your good buddy Emile. The only articles we see from you regard articles that are hateful or demeaning to Jews. It's not difficult to discern your motive behind these posts. I've said it before and I'll say it again. You must be a personal embarassment to all the other pan-Arab posters on this website.

Tell me Gustave, Do you think it's possible that Qadafi has caved into zionist interests? Or, maybe has become a zionist himself? I heard a theory that Mossad has brainwashed him. What do you think? Maybe his camel fell on him once to often? Is there any chance that Bush's Iraq policy had an affect on Qadafi's defection? This silly disarming thing must have come as a shock to you.

...ancient animosity toward Jews, Fredrickson states, is often misunderstood. "Anti-Judaism was endemic to Christianity from the beginning," he writes, while adding that since Christianity's founders "were themselves Jews, it would have been difficult for early Christians to claim that there was something inherently defective about Jewish blood or ancestry." On the contrary, St. Augustine and other early church fathers held "conversion of the Jews" to be "a Christian duty." That meant "the great hereditary sin" was not indelible difference: "Anti-Judaism became anti-Semitism whenever it turned into a consuming hatred that made getting rid of Jews seem preferable to trying to convert them, and anti-Semitism became racism when the belief took hold that Jews were intrinsically and organically evil rather than merely having false beliefs... . " =================================================== Gustave, I have no problem with any of this. The Church Fathers never advocated killing Jews or judging anyone simply because of the circumstances of their birth. It was always the antichrist beliefs of the Jews that the holy Fathers opposed. Of course many early Christians were Jews who embraced Christ, and the greatest saint of the Orthodox Church, the All-holy Mother of God came from Jewish stock. Hence I don't condemn anyone simply because of their race, however: If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema (1 Corinthians 16.22)
