Minor correction - religious Jews won't go onto the Temple Mount, as one needs to be ritually pure to do so, which is impossible nowadays. Source: I'm a religious Jew.

I recall some of these cleansing laws from reading Leviticus/Numbers. Are those the same laws or is it something else?

Okay, so what did you do, you heathen?!?!? :-P

[–]JohnAnderton 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Long story short, everyone today is perpetually impure, because of impurity contracted from dead people. Back in the day, there would be a ritualistic process to clense oneself, but key ingredients are missing, and as such, that area (which is very strictly for pure people only) is inaccessible. Control-F "pure" here, for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Mount

That's very interesting, actually. I have a lot of Jewish friends, and only a handful are religious at all - go to temple, no pork no shellfish, that kinda thing.

Even the most religious Jews that I know are our friends across the street who go to a reformed temple with a female rabbi. The other is a very talented female singer that I worked with years ago (when I was in the music business) that's now a cantor in NYC.

From what I've read on the subject now, I wonder if they'd go to the Temple Mount or not? I'll find out later and check back. I have to go over there anyway, because I have a graduation present for one of their boys.

Well that is so very true it is not funny.

Uh....name one respected and legitimately followed leftist who legitimately sides with those carrying out decapitations. Not those who look to find explanations behind said behavior. Someone who actually stands by the position that such actions are positive, good, or justifiable. Name one, and if you've really gotta dig that should be a hint this is full of shit

Edit: thats not even getting into the disingenuous representations of Jewish and Christian extremists....and conservatives wonder why people could possible view them as intolerant and uneducated

would it have been that hard to, you know, link to a source? You know, something that backs up your assertion?

What? The main tv stations were all rationalizing the behavior of the terrorists in Texas.

[–]midnightrambler_1 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (8子コメント)

Rationalizing is not the same as supporting, see

Not those who look to find explanations behind said behavior

from my comment

justifiable.

If there is a line between what you're talking about and however you would realistically characterize the TV position, it is so narrow as to be meaningless.

Well...yeah.....if you don't wanna tax your critical thinking skills beyond a basic eyeball test I guess

[–]xXnewbsonlyXx -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Describe to me in detail the TV position.

[–]midnightrambler_1 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Well considering I don't live in Texas, you know the area you brought up and that we're talking about, I can't because I don't have any access to their TV stations. Pretty sure that's your responsibility considering you're the one who brought them up.

[–]xXnewbsonlyXx 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (3子コメント)

You don't get NBC, CBS, ABC?

[–]midnightrambler_1 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Well now you're just altering what you were talking about, weak bro. Very weak

Christian extremists: set off car bombs at funeral processions in Ireland.

[–]yep45Constitutionalist 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (4子コメント)

So the IRA is about Catholicism and not Irish nationalism?

[–]FountainheadShruggedLibertarian 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Catholicism and Irish nationalism are not mutually exclusive.

[–]yep45Constitutionalist 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

True but I don't think the main goal of the IRA was to evangelize Catholicism

I think this downplays actual Christian extremist organizations like the KKK.

[–]xXnewbsonlyXx 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I can't remember the KKK doing anything in my lifetime.

[–]apackofmonkeys 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

/s, right? When's the last time the KKK did anything newsworthy-- 30-40 years ago?

[–]baldyloxRight Social Libertarian 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

There really isn't a KKK any more. There's a loose affiliation of various groups that call themselves that. I think it totals 3,000 people or so now. It's not the KKK at all - just in name only, and the last time they did anything violent was in the 1980's.

(insert fact that the real KKK were all Democrats here)

I will say that all of them are stupid and none of them deserve support
