Actually, I don't care much about Islam's positive aspects... I believe Islam is as valuable a spirituality as are Christianity and Judaism. I myself was raised a Catholic but, of late, converted to polytheism. As I said, monotheism is to religion what dictatorship is to politics --Heaven's swarming with gods:Message 21452280 Excerpt:In view of this, Christian anti-Semitism can be rightly described as neurosis. As Jean Blot writes, it is because of its "predisposition toward alienation" that the West is incapable of "fulfilling itself or rediscovering itself." And from this source arises anti-Semitic neurosis. "Anti-semitism allows the anti-Semite to project onto the Jew his own neuroses. He calls him a stranger, because he himself is a stranger, a crook, a powerful man, a parvenu; he calls him a Jew, because he himself is this Jew in the deepest depth of his soul, always on the move, permanently alienated, a stranger to his own religion and to God who incarnates him." By replacing his original myth with the myth of biblical monotheism, the West has turned Hebraism into its own superego. Re: Or are you motivated to hate Jews from a non-religious foundation? I nurse no grudge against Jews... As for Zionists, to the extent that they could strike a deal with Palestinians and be happy in Israel as it was pre-1967, why not? I'm not opposed to Israel in principle. That said, I would not deem it catastrophic for Israelis to meet the same fate as French Algeria's Pieds Noirs.... Hence my dislike of Judeofascists --both Jewish and Judeo-Protestant. Judeofascists are today's true terrorists, they're either Jewish or evangelical or merely white supremacists who don't flinch at terrorizing western public opinion to advance their racist/colonialist agenda.
