Massacres

[AtW]

Politics and Religion need to be separated to enable a nation to flourish.

Indeed.

I work with three Muslims and two Jewish contractors so maybe it’s relevant. Why do you pick on Sandy to be banned when other posters are outright bigots towards other races and countries and get away with it 100% Scot-free.

I don't pick on anyone. However, I would have banned "her" for the things that were written in the Mortgage thread. Anyone spouting such views would have been banned if I were a moderator.

I found some of yesterdays comments offensive to say the least, and this thread seems to be a follow-up to it. Note, however, that our esteemed OP has done her usual of posting one post, then relying on everyone else to get riled about it and respond, while "she" disappears....

What did she say?

What did she say?

"Yawn" mostly

HTH

What did she say?

Anti-semitic drivel. I asked my muslim friends about it, and they were frankly shocked. Kind of moronic, idiotic, ignorant, bigotted, ill-educated, mob ruled stuff you'd expect from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. A bit like some southern sheriff, using the N_ word.

Interesting subject, decided to research the Jewish laws and found this

Attitude towards Gentiles: Christians as a group are viewed as idolaters, and as such (at least in theory) are punishable by death.

1. Killing gentiles and saving their lives
1.1) In principle, every person practicing idolatry (whether a gentile or a Jew) should be put to death by a court of law. Idolatry is attributing divinity to any object (physical or spiritual) other than the one and only G-d, whether this is done through ritual (such as prayer, offerings of incense, or the like) or by a mere statement of faith.

Several contemporary religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Zoroastrianism, are undoubtedly considered idolatry. As for Christianity, there is a dispute among Halachic authorities, but the vast majority consider it idolatry as well. Islam, on the other hand, is not considered idolatry.

However, a Jew who murders a gentile (even in peaceful times and even intentionally) is not punishable by death in the human courts

It is forbidden to save a gentile who is in mortal danger or cure him from a fatal condition, even for payment, unless there is a danger that a failure to do so will cause animosity towards Jews.

A Jew is forbidden to assist a gentile woman in labor. If a Jewish woman works as a midwife, she is obliged to assist in the childbirth to avoid antagonizing the gentiles, but only on a weekday and only for a fee

It is forbidden to desecrate the Shabbat to save the life of a gentile,

A gentile woman in labor must not be given assistance on Shabbat, even if no Shabbat violation is involved.

If a Jew is chasing a gentile in order to murder him, it is forbidden to kill the Jew in order to save the gentile, even if there is no other way to save the gentile's life. A person who kills the Jewish pursuer in order to save the gentile's life must be put to death.

According to some halachic sources, robbing and stealing from a gentile is permissible in principle,

In a commercial transaction, if a Jew charges an exorbitant price or conceals the low quality of the goods from a gentile customer he does not owe the gentile any compensation

hmmm, wonder if this is what Sandy meant by loan sharking

According to one opinion, it's a special Torah commandment to take high interest on loans to a gentile. Also according to this same opinion, one mustn't forgive the debt of a gentile or postpone its payment date. Others also prohibit lending money without interest to a gentile

One website. Must be true then.

So now what we have is someone posting from a Jewish (apparently) hate site, as though this is orthodox Jewish thought.

Interesting subject? I find even more interesting the fact that you and Sandy are posting from the same IP address this evening. This fact does not make me yawn, it makes me ban both your IDs.

I told you yesterday by PM that your views were pretty much racist and asked you to back up your statement that "Jews were the original loan sharks" but you have failed to PM me back but instead post more crap on here from another account thinking us too dumb to realise this.

**** off.

Seriously.
