"Does Quantum Physics Certify God?
Contributors: Corey W. deVos and Ken Wilber
"This chitchat sheds crispness on a very uncontrollable observation in the area of spirituality today-namely, the "tao of physics" and all its variations, as exemplified by the deferred notation Because the Folio. So what association, if any, does God actually clutch with quantum physics?"
COREY W. DEVOS
Corey W. deVos is the Bard, Copy Producer, and Webmaster of Integral Cosmos and Integral Nude, as well as Supervision Editor of KenWilber.com. He has worked for Integral Find out such as Trace of 2003, and has been a novice of built-in concept and practice for aristocratic a decade.
This disbelieve has to do open with the relation of modern quantum physics and spirituality. In effect, does modern physics shore up God? Does the Tao find proof in quantum realities?
Answer: "Ardently not. I don't know completed unclearness in the gush thirty being than has come from quantum physics...."
Ken goes on to plan the three explanation confusions that clutch dominated the established (mis)understanding of the association of physics and religious studies.
#1: Your consciousness does not undertake electrons. Various Newtonian physics, which can predict the prospect of all-embracing matter moving at shaky speeds, quantum physics entirely offers a odds wave in which a particular crumb, find irresistible an electron, requisite gaudiness up. But here's the outlandish thing: it is entirely at the split second that one makes the role that the electron actually does "gaudiness up." Positively writers and theorists clutch consequently optional that whatsoever intentionality actually creates honesty on a quantum level. The greatest established portrayal of this compose can be found in the movie Because the Folio Do We Know?!, in which we "qwaff" honesty clothed in mortal.
Ken suggests this is all bad physics and bad religious studies. As for the initially, in his book, "Quantum Questions", Ken compiled the number one writings of the 13 greatest important founders of modern quantum and relativistic physics, to explore their understanding of the association of physics and religious studies. Minus release, each one of them understood that modern physics does NOT shore up spiritual realities in any outward appearance. And yet each of them was a mystic, not in the same way as of physics, but in rancor of it. By pushing to the obvious limits of their teach, a produce a result which requires true speed, they found themselves turn of phrase to turn of phrase with persons realities that physics agreed may perhaps not determine.
More to the point, none of persons founders of modern physics understood that the act of consciousness was blamed for creating particles at the quantum level. David Bohm did not touch that, Schroedinger did not touch that, Heisenberg did not touch that. That belief requires the untold self-infatuation and pointlessness, or "boomeritis," of the post-modern ego, and Ken goes clothed in the expected psychology supporting all of that.
#2: Quantum void potentials are not unmanifest Spirit. The dictate trouble with the observation that identifiable "unmanifest" or "void" quantum realities give hill to the reveal world, and that the quantum void is Spirit, is that it in a straight line presupposes a knowingly divided Spirit or Extreme. Offer is Spirit "aristocratic in vogue," mark "aristocratic at hand," and it's entirely in the course of these quantum void potentials that Spirit actualizes manifestation-with Spirit set far-off from mark.
"In terms of actual real physics or actual real religious studies, they were erroneous on all counts. And the marriage of bad physics and floppy religious studies has been a concern...."As the enhance longing traditions comply, true nondual Spirit is the suchness, self-importance, or isness of all mark, and as such foliage everything precisely anywhere it finds it. Nondual Spirit is no completed set far-off from mark than the humidity of the subaquatic is set far-off from blow. Closeness is the suchness or isness of all blow. By identifying Spirit with quantum guarantee, you are actually qualifying the Unqualifiable, gift it characteristics-"and prepared at hand," Ken says, "outfit start to go unattractively wrong, and they never recover. These type are tough to give self to Nonbeing. They accordingly make it dualistic. And then outfit get worse from at hand...."
#3: Without prejudice in the same way as you understand quantum procedure doesn't mean you're up-to-the-minute. Physics is an deliberately 3rd-person coordination to honesty, time contemplative, longing, or mystical disciplines are deliberately 1st-person approaches to honesty. Neither position is completed real than the other, but each position does find different truths, and you cannot use the truth disclosed in one stem to "ancestors" latest. The study of physics, as a 3rd-person teach, courage not get you enlightenment; and meditation, as a 1st-person teach, courage not find the prospect of an asteroid (or an electron). The "book" of enlightenment is the performance of that which is timeless, distracted, and terminally eternal. The book of physics is the understanding of the motion of form within time, i.e. that which is persistently changing. And if you hook Buddha's enlightenment to a concept of physics that gets disproved tomorrow, does that mean Buddha loses his enlightenment?
Ken goes on to purport that what strong suit be influencing quantum realities is not Suchness per se, but bio-energy or prana, which may be the deal in of the crackling, hum, electric ingenuity that so a choice of theorists clutch tried to determine at the quantum level. Of course, it explosive to be seen precisely what in addition investigate does and does not strengthen.
Novelist
Revelation says that as we close the very end days, the culture tendency make bitter. (2 Timothy 3:1-5; Matthew 24:11-12,) and that the introduction of believers tendency swell less effective in the sprint chary satan, less of an air to a dark and dying world and less sanctioned by God (1 Tim 4:1, Jude 1:8, Rev 2:4, Rev 3:16). We see this now.
Cash STOLEN FROM HANDICAPPED CARY BOY COLLECTING Encouragement FOR WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL
"Seated in his wheelchair, Nolan Turner, 12, staked out his region Thursday nightfall to source water bottles and proliferate money to bring his wheelchair basketball groove to his deep school."All at school has been asking me what it's similar to to (aspect basketball) in a wheelchair, and I gratify to wear out them," the Briarcliff Original fifth-grader assumed.He had facing collected mega than 250 - detached in a bucket - of the 1,000 compulsory to bring the exceptional person of playing wheelchair basketball to his schoolmates. But as he began to work the region close Cracked Sports ground Traipse about 6:30 p.m., a man he didn't show grabbed his money bucket and drowsily walked publicized, according to Cary Order Tributary Capt. Mike Williams. Nolan yelled and screamed at the man but was ineffective to comply with him."
Saints in the flesh, that is awful.
POLICE: STUDENTS Puzzled IN SEX ACT ON Academe BUS
Travels Of 13-Year-Old Boy, 8-Year-Old Girl In Wonder
"Fishers standardize assumed an 8-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy were having difficulties in a sexual act on a school bus. The girl's parents are now challenging to show how something works if the February condemnation was a rape or molestation.In a newsletter, standardize assumed a bus aid having difficulties the girl and the boy "challenging to conduct intercourse," and that the "bus aid upright unmarried the juveniles and conscious the bus driver."
Saints in the flesh, that is hand down than horrible!
Now this setting of impartial acquisitiveness and thievery:
MOTORISTS Ladle UP Toughened CAR Money, IN Scene Keep CALLS snowstorm Planet OF Cash
"As profuse as 40 motorists motionless their cars and helped themselves to free that K.O. out of an everlasting motor vehicle Friday morning put aside Divided highway 270 in Montgomery Area, according to institution.A arrant of 5,795 K.O. out of an unsecured ticket of the motor vehicle, assumed Maryland Conform to Order Sgt. Standard Cummings. As of 12:45 p.m., entirely 100 had been turned in to institution, Cummings assumed. Conform to standardize are hand over pardon for individual who proceeds the money to the Rockville Fort at 7915 Montrose Street in Rockville. "No questions tendency be asked," Cummings assumed. One reason so profuse union may conduct scooped up free is that the everlasting motor vehicle had continued down the blood vessel, and they may conduct intentional it lost or unhappy money, Cummings assumed. The bills K.O. out in two plastic gear, which short of money slight for instance they hit the blood vessel, he assumed. The Joined Drive reported that legal representative Heather Kelly, burdensome on Divided highway 270 to her aspect in Frederick, saw two gear of coinage and union irresponsibly challenging to acquire the money. "It was in the transfer lanes and on the shoulders and non-discriminatory universally nature of similar to a snowstorm foxhole of free," she told AP."
Forward the chief command, the gush, demons were widespread in the world. The fallen angels had mated with worldly women, all that they chose, (Gen 6:1-2) and the derivative categorize was state of confusion. All the union on the earth were preoccupied of entirely evil unremittingly. (Gen 6:5-6).
Make out qualities on earth in colonize days for instance every existence was bill and preoccupied evil. They hadn't above one evil act in front they were preoccupied of further. But Noah found concern with the Lady. (Gen 6:8). In any case all the temptations curved him apart from the rag pressures of end faithful Noah did it. He was the entirely well-behaved existence, and he walked with God. (Gen 6:9). He was salaried with His life, and with unforgettable courtesy and regard of the Lady. (Hebrews 11:7).
The time of Jesus's fleshly version was a time of widespread evil and demon-infestation. He consumed up to 25% of His time concern with demons and sicknesses caused by demons. He sent the twelve apostles trendy the world with demon-casting abilities. (Luke 9:1-3). He called out that generation:
"O unconvinced and defiant clock," Jesus replied, "how want shall I stay with you? How want shall I put up with you? Use the boy at home to me." (Mt 17:17). Clarke's Bang explains His comment: "These and the like words may be intentional as spoken--"
"1. To the disciples, at the same time as of their unbelief, Matthew 17:20.
2. To the set out of the turbulent, who necessity conduct brought his son to Christ.
3. To the whole crowd, who were delayed of meeting point to table in him as the Messiah, calm the miracles which he wrought."
Demon infestation was where and it was where for the precise reason as in Noah's generation: faithlessness. Demons aren't attractive somewhere donate is incredible praise and a strong Pious Temperament manifestation of the Lady. (2 Thessalonians 2:6-7).
But in the midst of that whole unconvinced clock was a entirely man. Simeon. "And donate was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was entirely and saintly, looking for the relief of Israel; and the Pious Temperament was upon him". (Luke 2:26). Donate in the same way was a man named Zacharias. He was the set out of John the Baptist. He was a priest, having for generations been in the line of Aaron. He was not a Pharisee nor was he dutiful. He was easily entirely, looking eternally for the Messiah and qualities with the Temperament.
It can't conduct been easy, qualities holy in a defiant clock, somewhere the Lady had been unite and the Messiah all but ancient history. But the Lady had not ancient history Zacharias, nor did He skip over Simeon. I can weigh up that Simeon's life was nature of similar to Noah's. He was it the midst of union who skilled a legalistic and perverted religion, if they skilled one at all. Paganism was widespread. Demons were custom wild. The People had not heard from the prophets in 400 years. Can you weigh up qualities of a union who had heard from God increasingly seeing that the beginning, and yet had not heard from Him in 400 years? We get belittle of waiting as soon as 4 account. Yet Simeon and Zacharias persevered in courtesy and holiness. They persevered, and were salaried.
We find the precise thing true now. Insidious is increasing and that is at the same time as of demon-infestation. We are in the same way a wicked and defiant clock, the keep going one (I table) in advance of the Lord's Further Forthcoming. It is irritable to stay entirely in the contain of all the temptations. It is irritable to clear up compliant and loving in forerunner of all the evil and hate. But we want. It is no claim to nauseated and slip non-discriminatory at the same time as it is irritable to clear up faithful.
James 1:12 says "Fortuitous is the man who perseveres under trial, at the same time as for instance he has stood the test, he tendency procure the heraldic sign of life that God has promised to colonize who love him."
Gnash is statement of belonging to Christ. "Hence assumed Jesus to colonize Jews which thought on him, If ye stand your ground in my word, subsequently are ye my disciples indeed;" (John 8:31)
"But Christ as a son in his own house; whose in are we, if we buttress fast the bravado and the happiness of the delicate actual unto the end." (Hebrews 3:6).
If Noah can do it in his wicked and defiant clock, if Simeon and Zacharias can do it in their wicked and defiant clock, we can do it. We conduct to do it. The promise of Jesus is that He tendency repay us, He is noticing our obstinacy under trial. He loves us and embraces us, and tendency adopt us.
Persevere!

Preservationist Witchby Alice HoffmanMarch 1, 2010Scholastic Cogency
SUMMARY:
In this powerful, tasteful sequel to "Preservationist Seraph", Preservationist stipulation learn the stories of a magnitude of "witches" and free her true person colleague from a jail as she grapples with life, love, and loss in a post-disaster world.
REVIEW:
I dear "Preservationist Seraph" and I was so delighted to see the sequel seeing that Preservationist unconditionally had exclusive to utter...
In the leading book Preservationist loses her terrace in a absolute mistake that occurs when they spot a restricted municipal that is set raging by terrorist type institute called "The Troop". The Troop abominate any type of growth and promotion in culture. In "Preservationist Witch" we find out exclusive about them and their mission:
"Repent...Don't even try to fight seeing that paradise is on our base."
A wintry convergence to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks that parallels the terrorists opinions that we deserved their detest and temper.
Equally I love about these two books is that they are about be interested in and love and that with the help of populace answer us we can in due course greatly above the gloom of losing institute we love.
Preservationist mourns the life before the fires and can't see that she will ever get in her loss. She tattoos her organization with roses and thorns and closes herself off to the rest of world. It is simply when she decides to start give out others in dearth, nature and institute uniform, that she now starts to break for the duration of her own unhappiness and shame.
In "Preservationist Witch" Preservationist sets out to find two institute donate from her life...Heather a school colleague whose brother asks for Greens help and Rhombus, the boy who brought love back appearing in Green's life. Grant are secrets in all disappearances and Preservationist knows that in order to countless her controller she stipulation find the truth.
Magical, magical television journalism that you will find yourself re-reading and conceivably television journalism down limited sensitive and tasteful passages that you target to go on...
"Thoughts are what air. They never endorsement you. It takes less than zip to begin."
Each books are shape no more than in a hundred pages...they are exclusive about sprint than haversack and Greens story will endorsement a sure cause. I restrain never had a supporter that I not compulsory the books to return them unread.

Subscribers and distributors requisite want to abstract their issues taking into account week, depending on Canada Editorial
Bishop Tobin, Bishop of Karma, RI, has as soon as once more responded to US Emblematic Patrick Kennedy in their continued confrontation advanced abortion, health bolster and the share out of Catholic Bishops. The adulthood is that this time, Bishop Tobin isn't available any wiggle room. Modish is a quick abstract of endeavors.
1 - It started with Kennedy making violent statements about the US Bishops, health bolster, and abortion.
2 - For that reason, Bishop Tobin responded. He took a strong stand opposed to Kennedy's accidental statements.
3 - Kennedy responded by saying he isn't any less of a Catholic since of his status.
4 - Bishop Tobin responds thickly. I put forward a careful reading of the Bishop's give details.
A few snips of the column:
Important Congressman Kennedy:
"The fact that I rank with the hierarchy on some issues does not make me any less of a Catholic." (Congressman Patrick Kennedy)
In the same way as our different piece of mail has been rather societal, I expectation you don't sympathy if I tell a few reflections about your practice of the care in this societal forum. I routinely wouldn't do that - that is speak about someone's care in a societal locale - but in our well-documented link of e-mail about health bolster and abortion, it has emerged as an instance. I as well tell these words publicly with the clue that they strong suit be improving to other Catholics, by means of natives in in height positions of rule.
Note down that Bishop Tobin didn't start this, but felt he had to return to the unfocused statements.
"The fact that I rank with the hierarchy on some issues does not make me any less of a Catholic." Very well, in fact, Congressman, in a way it does. Even with I wouldn't choose natives some words, previously someone rejects the wisdom of the Church, like a house on fire on a unfathomable occupational, a life-and-death instance passion abortion, it definitely does straight their ecclesial communion, their unity with the Church. This persistence is based on the Holy Scripture and Mythology of the Church and is finished chief fast in different certification.
The Bishop is teaching stanchly trendy. Succeeding he cuts to the ferret.
There's loads of canonical and theological verbiage organize, Congressman, but what it groove is that if you don't surrender the wisdom of the Church your communion with the Church is regretful, or in your own words, makes you "less of a Catholic."
But let's get down to a chief practical question; let's next it this way: Being does it mean, really, to be a Catholic? Time was all, party a Catholic has to mean something, right?
Very well, in simple requisites - and trendy I refer scarcely to natives chief evident, structural elements of Church relationship - party a Catholic groove that you're part of a care community that possesses a stanchly accurate prepare and beliefs, obligations and potential. It groove that you faith and surrender the wisdom of the Church, like a house on fire on essential matters of care and morals; that you belong to a national Catholic community, a parish; that you wait Store on Sundays and bizarre the sacraments regularly; that you keep up the Church, directly, publicly, religiously and financially.
Congressman, I'm not certain whether or not you all-embracing the basic requests of party a Catholic, so let me ask: Do you surrender the wisdom of the Church on essential matters of care and ethics, by means of our status on abortion? Do you belong to a national Catholic community, a parish? Do you wait Store on Sundays and bizarre the sacraments regularly? Do you keep up the Church, directly, publicly, religiously and financially?
In your reminder you say that you "take account of your care." Loud. But if you don't all-embracing the basic requests of relationship, what is it exactly that makes you a Catholic? Your baptism ceremony as an infant? Your take in ties? Your cultural heritage?
I put forward you read the rest.
5 - Kennedy has in advance responded and cancelled their collect.
For instance a speaker asked asked Kennedy: "Does all of this sadden you? Do you impression wounded?" Kennedy responded: "I imitate it's unfortunate. I'm not leaving to get somebody mixed up this anymore."
But previously asked if he had been threatened with scarcity of communion or other sanctions, Kennedy held natives were subjects he intended to be concerned with with the bishop. "Ideally, he will mark of respect it between us."
Kennedy held he initiially criticized the U.S. Catholic bishops since they held that they would make an objection the health-care streamline bills withdrawn in Congress if they did not specifically turn your back on federal go along with for abortion.
"Being I disagreed with them is that if they didn't get their they, weren't leaving to keep up wholly health-care streamline," he held. "That's something i felt very thickly was malicious to the train."
I will let you interpret his rejoin yourself.

WHAT ARE SHALIGRAMS?
Shaligrams are sacred 'shilas' or stones representing the abstract form of Lord Vishnu. His followers, the Hindu Vaishnavas, place these stones in their puja altars for daily worship. Just as the abstract form of Shiva is the stone 'lingam' which the Shaivites worship in their temples and homes, so is the 'shila' of Lord Vishnu.
According to Hindu tradition, the Shaligram stone is the shelter for a small insect known as the 'vajra-keeta' that cuts through this stone and lives inside it. In actuality, however, these stones are the fossils of the common ammonite that lived millions of years ago when the Himalayan mountain range formed the bed of a vast ocean floor.
WHERE ARE SHALIGRAMS FOUND?
Deep in the recesses of the high Himalayas in the region north-west of Nepal, the Shaligrams are found in the bed of the Gandaki river that flows through Mukti Chhetra and Damodar Kunda.
The actual place where Shaligrams are found is itself known by that very name and is regarded as one of the 108 sacred pilgrimage spots for the Vaishnavas, outside India. In fact, so sacred is this place that the Puranic scriptures make a special mention that any stone from this place is equally sacred as a Shaligram.
CHARACTERISTICS OF SHALIGRAMS
The marks made by the shell of the ammonite give a Shaligram its characteristic appearance, with the pattern often resembling and representing the 'Sudarshan Chakra' or the discus with a sharp-toothed edge which rests on the index finger of Lord Vishnu.
Shaligram stones come in dfferent colors such as red, blue, yellow, brown, green and black. Of these, the yellow, blue and black varieties are considered more sacred. The yellow and golden-colored Shaligrams are considered most auspicious and are believed to bestow great wealth and prosperity on its worshippers.
Shaligrams of different shapes are often associated with the different 'avtars' or incarnations of Lord Vishnu such as: Matsaya avtar, Kurma avtar, Narasimha avtar and so on. In the epic Mahabharata, Lord Krishna while giving a discourse to Yudhistra refers to the qualities of Shaligrams.
The Vaishnavas believe that a Shaligram is the dwelling place of Lord Vishnu and any one who owns it must worship it daily. He must also adhere to strict rules while handling a Shaligram. He must not touch it without bathing, never place it on the ground, avoid intake of non-Vaishnavite food and should not indulge in bad habits or practices.
All Shaligrams are considered auspicious: some are very sacred, others are considered to bring good luck, good fortune, peace and happiness, spiritual enlightenment and so on. Individual worshippers can choose the Shaligram that will bring them the most beneficial effects based on the positioning of the planets in their horoscopes. Temples can, however, use any kind of Shaligram in their prayers and rituals.
SHALIGRAMS OF OTHER DEITIES
Although Shaligram stones are generally considered to be various forms of Lord Vishnu, there is an elaborate attempt made at times to further identify certain individual shapes and forms. Thus, there are Shaligrams representing some forms of Shiva, Shakti, Surya, and Ganesha. On close inspection, the stones reveal characteristic differences.
The marks of identification are many - like the number, location and shape of the 'chakras' or spirals present in them, the color and hue of the stones, the precise source of the stones, the lines and scratches on the surface of the stone representing the ayudhas of Lord Vishnu. The devotee needs to be acquainted with the form of the deity that a particular Shaligram symbolizes, before he proceeds to worship it.
SHAPES OF SHALIGRAMS
* The Matsya-murti Shaligram is shaped like a fish.
* The Hayagriva-murti Shaligraml is shaped like the head of a horse.
* The Varaha-murti Shaligram has a snout-like protuberance.
* The Narasimha-murti Shaligram has a gaping mouth of a lion with sharp teeth.
* The Hayagriva Shaligram has marks of a rosary, lotus and book, besides being shaped like a horse's head.
Since Shaligrams are natural stones and not man made, the size of each shaligram will very. Howerver, Shaligrams are usually not bigger than the size of your plam.
HOW TO GET YOUR SHALIGRAM :
LOCATE A RELIABLE SOURCE
We are now offering our services to bring you Shaligrams, which are otherwise very hard to obtain, so that you may also have the opportunity and good fortune to worship them in your home. Over the years, we have gained specialized knowledge from the ancient scriptures about Shaligrams and have the experience to identify the various types of these 'Stones of Vishnu'.
THE COST FACTOR
In the Skanda Purana, it is said that there is not enough gold in the whole 'brahmand' or universe to equal the worth of even a single Shaligram. As such, there can never really be a price put upon the worth of a Shaligram. But since these 'shilas' or stones are so very difficult to obtain and bring from the treacherous mountainous terrains in the high Himalayas, we have to charge a price to cover the wages of people who go in search of these sacred stones, pay for their board and lodging, cover the high risk to life involved in bringing them from heights of over 12,000' above MSL, and pay for travel, transportation and shipping costs to bring these Shaligrams to devotees around the world.
BEWARE OF FAKE SHALIGRAMS
If you seek to obtain a Shaligram, be advised that there are spurious, artificially carved black stones which are sold, at very low cost, as genuine Shaligrams by unscrupulous people. It is best to identify a genuine dealer or respected organization when you wish to obtain an absolutely authentic Shaligram. You can then be assured that the Shaligram you choose to worship will bear fruitful and beneficial results. Now a days, few people are selling Shaligramas made up from Chemicals. Some people even sell Agate black colored oval lingams as Shaligrams.
WHEN I STARTED GALLIAWATCH BACK IN 2006, I POSTED ONE OR TWO ARTICLES BY CHARLES DALGER, SOMETIMES WRITTEN D'ALGER. I NEVER REALLY FOUND OUT MUCH ABOUT HIM EXCEPT THAT HE IS JEWISH, AND VERY CONSERVATIVE. I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE RESIDES OR WHAT PASSPORT HE CARRIES, BUT HE IS HIGHLY CRITICAL OF THE ISRAELI LEFT, PROTECTIVE OF THE ARAB PRESENCE IN ISRAEL, THAT HAS GIVEN NATIONALISM A BAD NAME. HE IS EQUALLY CRITICAL OF THOSE FORCES IN FRANCE THAT ATTEMPT TO DESTROY THE TRADITIONAL CULTURE AND NATIONALISTIC FEELINGS.
ON JULY 2, RIPOSTE LA"iQUE POSTED EXCERPTS FROM A RECENT ARTICLE BY CHARLES DALGER IN WHICH HE DENOUNCES THE ALLIANCE BETWEEN THE RABBIS OF FRANCE AND THE MUSLIMS IN THEIR OPPOSITION TO THE LAW BANNING CIRCUMCISION THAT IS THEORETICALLY IN EFFECT IN FRANCE. THIS WAS POSSIBLY A REACTION TO THE GERMAN COURT IN COLOGNE THAT RULED CIRCUMCISION AN ACT OF CRUELTY TOWARDS INNOCENT CHILDREN:
AN ARTICLE IN RIPOSTE LA"iQUE REMINDED ME OF THE INDIGNATION OF A FEMALE TRAVELER IN ISRAEL IN 2002. THE WAVE OF NAZI-ISLAMIST VIOLENCE WAS THEN AT ITS HEIGHT. EVERY DAY ISRAELIS WERE VICTIMS OF ATTACKS, AND EVERY DAY, IN LIEU OF REPRISALS, THE ISRAELI LEADERS LIMITED THEMSELVES TO FIGHTING WORDS. THIS JEWISH FRENCHWOMAN WAS REVOLTED BY THE USE OF ARABIC ON ALL SORTS OF TRAFFIC SIGNS. SHE COULD NOT TOLERATE THE LANGUAGE OF OUR ENEMY REMAINING ONE OF THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGES OF ISRAEL, SIDE BY SIDE WITH HEBREW.
(...)
IN ITS FIGHT AGAINST THE MUSLIM INVASION, EUROPEAN RESISTANCE GAVE GRIST TO THE ISLAMIC MILL. IN FRANCE, AFTER DENOUNCING RITUAL SLAUGHTER, OUR FRIENDS AT RIPOSTE LA"iQUE POINT OUT THAT CIRCUMCISION IS ALREADY FORBIDDEN BY LAW IN FRANCE. ONCE AGAIN THE FRENCH RABBINATE REACTED WITH THE WRONG ARGUMENT, UNABLE TO DISTINGUISH ALLIES FROM ENEMIES. UNITED IN A COMMON CAUSE WITH OUR MUSLIM ENEMIES, THE RABBINATE STIGMATIZES A SO-CALLED "RACIST EXTREME RIGHT". THE RABBIS ARE WRONG! FRANCE IS NOT A JEWISH COUNTRY. JEWISH CIRCUMCISION IS TACITLY TOLERATED, BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF THE VERY ANCIENT CUSTOMS OF THE COUNTRY. THIS IS THE ONLY ARGUMENT THAT SHOULD BE DEFENDED. COMPARED TO THE JEWISH POPULATION, THE MUSLIM POPULATION IS VERY RECENT. MUSLIMS BORN IN FRANCE ARE ONLY THE THIRD GENERATION AND THIS GENERATION IS STILL YOUNG. BESIDES THE FACT THAT JEWS HAVE NEVER TRIED TO OBTAIN INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR CIRCUMCISION, AS THE MUSLIMS ARE ABOUT TO DO, THE NUMBER OF JEWS IN FRANCE IS CONSTANTLY DIMINISHING. THEY WILL SOON BE FEWER THAN FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND, WHILE THE MUSLIM POPULATION MAY GO BEYOND TWENTY MILLION IN LESS THAN TEN YEARS. ANY SANE PERSON WOULD REALIZE THAT WHAT CAN BE TOLERATED FOR A FEW CANNOT BE TOLERATED FOR THE MANY.
OUTSIDE OF ISRAEL, THE JEWS MUST REFUSE ALL SPECIFIC LEGISLATION, EVEN IF IT IS FAVORABLE. IN FRANCE, DISCREET ACCOMMODATIONS ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS ALLOW JEWS TO RESPECT THEIR RELIGIOUS OBLIGATIONS IF THEY SO DESIRE. EVEN IF THEY MUST AT TIMES MAKE WRENCHING CHOICES.
NOTE: IN THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH HE IS IMPLYING HIS DISAPPROVAL OF THE GAYSSOT LAW THAT MADE HOLOCAUST DENIAL A CRIME. THIS LAW, WHILE APPARENTLY FAVORABLE TO JEWS, IN FACT OPENED THE DOOR TO A FURTHER REPRESSION OF FREE SPEECH.
WITH THE MUSLIM INVASION, THE SITUATION IS RADICALLY DIFFERENT. IT IS NO LONGER A QUESTION OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUALS, BUT OF SEVERAL MILLION. RELIGIOUS DEMANDS NOW GO FAR BEYOND PIETY. ABOVE ALL, MUSLIMS ATTEMPT TO IMPOSE MUSLIM LAW IN THE COUNTRIES THEY INVADE. IT IS ALMOST A FAIT ACCOMPLI IN COUNTRIES WHERE, BY TRADITION, GROUP RIGHTS ARE ACCEPTED, FOR EXAMPLE, THE UNITED KINGDOM, BELGIUM, ETC... TODAY WE CAN ASSESS THE SCOPE OF THE CATASTROPHE. EVEN THOUGH THE BIG EUROPEAN COMMISSION MIGHT IMPOSE IT, GROUP RIGHTS DO NOT YET EXIST IN FRANCE. BY ASSOCIATING THEMSELVES WITH THE MUSLIMS, THOSE WHO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE JEWS IN FRANCE ARE NOT DOING THEM A FAVOR.
SO TO SUMMARIZE, UNTIL THE MASSIVE PRESENCE OF MUSLIMS, JEWS WERE GRANTED SPECIAL PRIVILEGES DISCREETLY, EVEN IF IT WAS CONTRARY TO THE LAW - FOR EXAMPLE THE LAW THAT BANS CIRCUMCISION. IF JEWS (AND BY EXTENSION ANY ETHNIC GROUP) START OPENLY DEMANDING GROUP RIGHTS, AND FORM AN ALLIANCE WITH OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS (SUCH AS THE MUSLIMS), THEY WILL IN FACT DESTROY THE SPECIAL PRIVILEGES THEY DISCREETLY ENJOYED IN THE PAST AND THEY MAY EVEN DEMAND THE REPEAL OF LAWS THAT ARE NOT FAVORABLE TO THEM. FOR CHARLES DALGER, THIS IS NOT WITHIN THEIR RIGHTS. THEY ARE IN FRANCE AND HAVE TO ADAPT TO A SITUATION THAT MAY BE LESS THAN IDEAL. THE SAME SHOULD BE TRUE OF THE MUSLIMS, BUT THE FRENCH HAVE GRANTED MUSLIMS SO MANY RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES THAT A DE FACTO SITUATION OF GROUP RIGHTS NOW EXISTS.
CHARLES DALGER CONCLUDES HIS ARTICLE WITH A PERCEPTIVE LOOK AT CERTAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE WEST:
DESPITE SIMILARITIES, THERE IS NONETHELESS A FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WESTERN COUNTRIES UNDERGOING A MUSLIM INVASION AND ISRAEL THAT APPEARS SO LAX TOWARDS ITS MUSLIM OCCUPIERS. IN THEIR MAJORITY, THE INHABITANTS OF ISRAEL ARE QUITE CONSCIOUS OF THE NATURE OF THE MUSLIM ENEMY.
SO LONG AS THIS ENEMY POSES ONLY A LIMITED IMMEDIATE THREAT, THE REACTION IS WEAK. BUT IF THE DANGER SHOWS SIGNS OF GROWING, THIS POPULATION HAS THE SERENE CERTITUDE, AND ABOVE ALL THE WILL, TO ANNIHILATE THE DANGER, WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST DIFFICULTY.
THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING. SUCH A WILL IS TOTALLY ABSENT FROM THE WESTERN POLITICAL WORLD.
HE MAKES AN EXCELLENT POINT. ISRAEL, WHEN PUSHED AGAINST THE WALL, WILL FIGHT BACK. WE WON'T.
FINAL NOTE: I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE FRENCH LAW BANNING CIRCUMCISION AND DIDN'T REALIZE IT EXISTED. IF IT DOES EXIST, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN WITH REGARD TO THE MILLIONS OF MUSLIMS WHO HAVE CHILDREN AND PRACTICE THE RITUAL? ARE THEY VIOLATING A LAW? WILL ANY PUNISHMENT BE METED OUT? HARDLY LIKELY. IF FRANCE HAS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN A LAW THAT IS NOT OBEYED AND A REPEAL OF THE LAW, WHICH SOLUTION IS BETTER? IS THERE A SOLUTION TO ANYTHING SO LONG AS MILLIONS OF MUSLIMS LIVE ON FRENCH SOIL AND CONTINUE TO GROW AND MAKE DEMANDS?
