		<description>&quot;...the collapse of Jewish life in yet another majority Muslim country -- a tragic phenomenon that Israel has historically propelled and benefited from.&quot;

Yes, Israel benefited, but she never propelled Jewish emigration from any Muslim country.
This is a slander and I defy the author to reply and show one instance of Israel propelling the collapse of any diaspora community.</description>

		<description>By the way, superb work Max, you see the picture clearly, unlike these armchair warriors who pretend to know us and yet know nothing about us.

Fox News needs someone like you at the head, instead of the garbage they have now.</description>

		<description>Excellent reporting. 

Of course this is to be expected of Israeli neo cons.  For as long as Turkey was a &quot;friend&quot;, even the Armenian Holocaust was swept under the carpet. Now it&#039;s all the rage. As for these wet dreams of war with Turkey...well it&#039;s as delusional as the neo cons dreams of war with Iraq. Nothing they wanted panned out then, and it certainly will not pan out the way they want now.

Nato will blast Israel to smithereens. These stupid dunces don&#039;t realise that.</description>

		<description>&quot;You never mention the possibility that one could perceive Islam negatively by simply reading the doctrines expressed in the Qur’an and the Hadith&quot;

One can say the same thing about, say, Judaism. Would you like me to post the Dirty little quotes from the Talmud, comparing Gentiles to dogs and Animals?. Or how about, the statements of Christian Pastors, calling Anyone who is not a Christian, a failure in life?....or maybe a couple quotes from Jesus calling Jews the sons of Satan?

&quot;I am sure that Robert Spencer, for instance, would happily accept a challenge on your part to debate him on whether Islam is or is not an inherently violent and supremacist religion&quot;

That weasel Robert Spencer has ran away from so many debates, and so many discussions, than I can think of. He still needs to answer loonwatch.com for a debate. Until he does so, he has no business debating anyone else.</description>

		<description>Henk,

You accused Max of being anti Evangelical (which he is not, as he only fights the extremists) but these are moderate Evangelicals in the website below, who show how their extremists are a malignancy upon American politics. 

The link I posted above is from an atheist, So your accusations are absurd. 


&lt;b&gt;Armageddon Lobby -- trying to hurry up God --Its &quot;Christian&quot; Muscle
http://www.iraqwar.org/ArmageddonUpdates.htm&lt;/b&gt;
With the collapse of communism (and Nazism before it) mankind&#039;s utopian fantasies have returned to a religious hue.  The Armageddonites (and their co-believer extreme fundamentalists in the Muslim and Jewish worlds) are the new dreamers of bringing paradise to earth, just, however, with the need to eliminate much of the human race first.  In America we have now this strange alliance, the Israeli Likud settler lobby gets money, guns and political cover.  In exchange millions of born again &quot;rapture&quot; evangelicals gain fulfillment, believing that they are helping God to end the world during their lifetimes and thereby will get a quick pass to heaven &quot;without dying&quot; (no judgment day). Oh, and with the death of all Jews (and the rest of the human race) who do not convert to their faith.  Their &quot;Heaven&quot; incidentally, is sort of socialist with no inequality and everyone rich.  A popular Gaither Singers song describes how one won&#039;t need to cut the grass in Heaven.

     The Book of Revelations in the Bible, upon which they build their scenario, is also very controversial.  It was made scripture three centuries after the death of Christ. &quot;Traditionally attributed to St. John, most Biblical scholars now recognize its literary style and its theology has little in common with John&#039;s gospel or his epistles and was likely written after his death. Martin Luther found the vindictive God of Revelations incompatible with the gospels and relegated it to the appendix of his German translation of the New Testament instead of the body of scripture. All the Protestant reformers except Calvin regarded apocalyptic millenialism to be heresy.&quot;  See Analysis

Inside the Christian Right Dominionist Movement That&#039;s Undermining Democracy
Chip Berlet  Sun Sep 04, 2011 http://www.talk2action.org/story/2011/9/4/8954/17253/Front_Page/Inside_the_Christian_Right_Dominionist_Movement_That_s_Undermining_Democracy

At the same time, legitimate questions have been raised about whether or not potential Republican presidential nominees Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann, or Sarah Palin have moved from a generic form of Christian Right Dominionism toward the more totalitarian form know as Dominion Theology. 

Clueless journalists and crafty Christian Right pundits have mocked the idea that Dominionism as a religiously motivated political tendency even exists. Scholars, however, have been writing about Dominionism for over a decade, some using the term directly, and others describing the tendency in other ways. Many articles on Dominionism can be found here on Talk to Action, especially by authors Rachel Tabachnick, Bruce Wilson, Frederick Clarkson.</description>

&lt;i&gt; am sure that Robert Spencer, for instance, would happily accept a challenge on your part to debate him on whether Islam is or is not an inherently violent and supremacist religion.&lt;i&gt;

Your stupid ignorant comments won&#039;t wash here.  Robert Spencer is no scholar,even his former alma mater , has riduculed him as saying he has no knowledge about Islam. How does this make you look? Like a prejudiced stupid bigot. A serious threat would have proper backing, not fake people leading the ignorant. The people influenced by Spencer are the ignorant underclass. 

America is unique amongst developed nations in that it has a large ignorant underclass. 

Spencer has REFUSED every knowledgeable expert to discuss Islam. This website for example, shows his lies and deceptions, and includes those scholars he is REFUSING to debate. Why should Max challenge Spencer? He is not an expert in Muslim jurisprudence as Spencer claims to be! 

&lt;b&gt;Robert Spencer Watch&lt;/b&gt;
http://spencerwatch.com/


&lt;i&gt; But you would never do such a thing because you know the facts are not on your side and you would get humiliated in such a debate.&lt;/i&gt;

Anybody make sense out of this? How about we ask Henk to debate a Rabbi on the Torah? How about Henk debate the Pope on Catholicism? Unless Henk has been schooled in either of these two religions by the scholars of these two religions, he would be humiliated in such a debate.

Does Henk not have the ability to think? Does he go to visit a dentist when he has an headache? I hope not. I hope he visits a doctor. 



&lt;i&gt;Evangelical Christians and their religious beliefs; you never pass up an opportunity to do so, and yet no one thinks of calling you a bigoted Evangelophobe. &lt;/i&gt;

Again your stupididy at work.

American Muslims on the whole are a wealthy well educated minority. They benefit the country. The people behind the Islamophobia push don&#039;t want them to acheive any kind of success or power.By the way, the  the rabble rousing Islamophobes have policies that go against what the US or international community supports. The far right Zionist agenda is not the agenda of the US. These people oppose peace. They are the other side of the coin, when you mentioned the Muslim violent groups. 

You are hypocritical to only look at threat from side. The threat is there from both sides.  Did you know that all of the people mentioned in the CAP want to expand upon Israeli territory? They cannot do this without a credible threat for which they pay a lot of money to manufacture. 
Are you OK with this for example? 


Evangelical right wing during Bush&#039;s time supported the Iraq war because they thought it would lead to Jesus landing in Israel. With hindsight, that decision has destroyed America. The Iraq war is the reason the US is in the debt it&#039;s in now. Evangelilical right wing, is also the most ignorant and low income of the US populace. Most of the tea party crowd are right wing Evangelicals. The left wing (younger crowd) drfited towards Obama and the left. 

There is clear proof that religious influence of the right wing Evangelism is DETRIMENTAL to the USA. The blur the lines between the constituion and religion. 


&lt;b&gt;America&#039;s Armageddonites Push for More War&lt;/b&gt;
Some fundamentalist evangelicals have moved from forecasting Armageddon to actually trying to bring it about.

		<description>To the people attacking Max, remember when you go for something go for it all. That is why Max is so effective. 

EinatA

&lt;i&gt;From my point of view the involvement of the US and US citizens in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of our worst problems. You’re just fighting out your internal wars on our backs.&lt;/i&gt;

EinatA, no. Israel and Palestine both receive US largesse. All aid donors (countries because of their tax payers) have a right to question and take an interest in politics of the countries their aid is intended for.

In the case of Israel, Max as every right, as much as do, because all Jews are citizens of Israel, even if they don&#039;t hold a passport. So sorry, but you are wrong.</description>
