Land of Hope and Glory?
Posted Sep 10, 2005
I have just finished watching the last night of the Proms and I didn’t see them singing Land of Hope and Glory. Now I did I just miss it or did they refuse to sing it? And if they refused to sing it then I wonder why. Is this another example of PC when they ban songs in case they have a slightly patriotic overtone? Honestly! If that is the case then the ethnic minorities of this country must be cringing in embarrassment that they ban a patriotic song in case it offends people.
Now I am against racism and nationalism but all this political correctness is getting beyond a joke.

Theology?
Posted Sep 9, 2005
Sam
I just wanted to ask you a few questions to see where your stance on some theological issues. Now I know you are a TULIP Calvinist but are you a dispensationalist or a Christian Reconstructionist? A lot of Calvinists are turning to the latter although you do get some in the former (although not too many as some see dispensationalism as the path to Arminianism-even though I can’t see why).
And what is your view of gifts of the Holy Spirit i.e. do you believed tongues are for today?
Thanks for answer. Just curious to know.

Nazis and the Future of Great Britain.
Posted Aug 18, 2005
I was just looking through the site 'Wikipedia' when I found something that can only be described as a disturbing warning to Britain. The UK now has its own 'British Nazi Party' (not to be confused with the British National Party). You can view some info about it and their website here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Nazi_Party
As the author here says, although it is a small group it is disturbing that it even exists. And as the old saying goes 'history repeats itself'.
Of course, we could relax and think that nobody would vote in a Nazi party after WWII and the Holocaust but Nazis have been trying to solve that problem for years and are finally starting to succeed. It is called 'Holocaust Denial' or as they falsely like to call it 'Holocaust Revisionism'. There title is obviously false being that while historians are constantly revising details about the holocaust, they are never denying that the incident took place. History is constantly being revised but the major events will never be completely denied.
I am reading an interesting book at the moment called 'Denying the Holocaust' by Michael Shermer and Alex Grobman and it paints a pretty nasty picture of these pseudo historians and half truth arguments. If you ever meet a Holocaust Denier or want to find out more about it then I would recommend reading it or 'Denying the Holocaust' by Deborah Lipstadt which focuses more on the anti-Semitic agenda behind Holocaust Denial. An excellent resource is also the following site:

I get the feeling that far-right parties are going to become more vocal and attract more votes in the future so everybody should be prepared for them.

Lies about Israel
Posted Aug 3, 2005
Palestinianlover
I just wanted to make sure that you read this since I spent ages writing it. It is a continuation from ‘Welcome’.
Well my view on Israel/Palestine is actually very simple as well. Israel was given to the Jews by God end of story. Your analogy is also false. The Jews have been living in that land since about 2000BC. It was their land then (given to them by God) but they shared it with the Canaanites. However, the Canaanites died out thousands of years ago giving the Jews complete control over their land. However, we know that the Jewish people had to leave for Egypt during a famine and were put into slavery. But even though they were not living in their land, they still owned it. Imagine you decide to go on holiday for a year. You are not living in your house but you still own it. The Jews then returned and took their land back but were thrown out again by the Romans in 135AD. From that point, the Jews were forced to wander the globe, suffering exile and persecution until the worse can of anti-Semitism in history occurred-the Holocaust, in which around 6 million Jews were killed (something Islamic terrorists try to deny).
The Jews returned to their homeland, supported by the International community and Israel was remade a country in 1948.
It would have been a nice ending but thousands of years of anti-Semitism don’t die hard. The Jews, who have been accused of everything from Christ-killing to running a global conspiracy were now accused of stealing land from the country of Palestine. But the fact is Palestine was just a region of land full of debt-ridden, semi-nomadic Arab peasants. And most of this region was ruled by landlords who lived in Egypt. Even people who lived in the region of Palestine knew that it was not a country. In May 1947, the representative of the Arab Higher Committee stated to the UN General Assembly that:
“Palestine was part of the Province of Syria" and that, "politically, the Arabs of Palestine were not independent in the sense of forming a separate political entity."
A few years later, Ahmed Shuqeiri (who would go on to become leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization) stated:
“It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria."
Palestine is not a country and the Palestinians knew it. That is why when Jordan ruled in for two decades, there was no such thing as a ‘Palestinian Liberation Group’. Now why is this? Why did they not complain about being ruled by Jordan? The answer is simple. Jordan is a Muslim country and Israel is Jewish. The Palestinians know they are not a country but they cannot stand being ruled by Jews. That is why they invented this lie that they are a country.
However, I find it to be utterly insane that anybody supports their lies. Arabs already control 21 countries of their own. What it not be nice if there could be one Jewish country? Just one Jewish country after all these years of suffering? Obviously, you don’t think so. And neither did Faisal Husseini, who just before he died in 2001, declared the Anti-Jewish, Islamic true intentions:
‘"We must distinguish the strategies and long-term goals from the political-phased goals which we are compelled to accept due to international pressures." But the "ultimate goal is the liberation of all of historical Palestine."
Islamic extremists don’t just want the West Bank and the Gaza strip. They just want that to start off with. They want the whole of Israel, Jerusalem and everything. And they won’t stop murdering men, women and children until they get it.
You call Israel evil. You should know that the Jews went out of their way to buy land where Arabs would not be displaced. In fact, Arabs were quick to sell their land as well. Or did you know that Israel is one of the most open societies in the world? In Israel, Arab people have equal voting rights (one of the only places in the Middle East where women can vote). Arabs have also held high Government positions (including Israel 's ambassador to Finland). Let see how many Jews have high Government positions in Iran. Arabic is an official language next to Hebrew in Israel. And Arabs don’t have to join the army in Israel so they do not have to fight against their own family. How many Muslim countries are that kind to Jews?
The fact is, you have been led along with a lie. Not unlike the Nazis saying that Jews were trying to take over the world, you have believed Islamic extremists declaring that Jews have stolen their country. But in the end, they equal the same thing. They are false and are spread by a hatred of Jews. And you have believed this anti-Semitic rubbish.
Have a read up on your history and see the facts, rather than the fairy tail.
