"While it is true that Charlie Hebdo also published repugnant imagery of other religions -- including Jesus Christ engaging in anal sex -- they were a minority among those ridiculing Muslims. The one inescapable fact is that Charlie Hebdo was a hate rag and a hypocritical one at that. A former writer was sent packing for "inciting racial hatred" after writing a column alleged to be critical of Jews. He was subsequently put on trial by that bastion of freedom that is France. So much for the all-inclusive mockery that the corrupt media has invoked as a smokescreen for the paper's blatant anti-Muslim agenda.
***** much detail. I disrespect cancer. I disrespect every mode of life that is not in lived solidarity with the well being of the neediest. I profoundly disrespect all modes of living that on purpose or by accident trample crush, starve, deprive the lives of others, especially of the neediest. What I've just spoken is a revelation for me this morning. Several times yesterday I spoke of how I feel I am drowning in the world's evil. During the night my nervous system seems to have made progress on this issue. This morning....

What I've just spoken is a revelation for me this morning. Several times yesterday I spoke of how I feel I am drowning in the world's evil. During the night my nervous system seems to have made progress on this issue. This morning it shows me what I have spoken above. It has shown me that all modes of life that are not devoted to the neediest among us are worthy of disrespect, that it is right to disrespect them, that it is wrong to not disrespect, that is to pay attention to, those modes of life not devoted to the well being of the neediest. I will always love every individual creature, but I may actively embrace disrespect of the modes of life that choose self-centeredness over other centeredness with a clarity and sense of purpose I have not had before.
As I wrote yesterday, I am drowning in the evil of the world. Not a complaint, just an honest observation.
But for the first time in many weeks, with what I have spoken above, I am feeling great relief.
It seems that I needed the " approval" of my nervous system, my soul, my being, to disrespect the evil of the "cancer" which is our selected western way of being.
It seems I needed to face much more fully than I was that the evil is going to win, it is going to kill what little good is left, it is going to further torture, and finally drown me.
With all this I am feeling much better so far today, than I have in many weeks now . And for that I am appreciative. And I feel my energy freeing up to continue to do battle.

***** Taji Mustafa, Media Representative of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Britain, said: “There is nothing principled about republishing cartoons that grossly insult and offend a minority community that has been singled out by politicians and media for collective punitive treatment. There is nothing brave when newspapers that ordinarily live in fear of libel lawyers target a community.

nd. I experience every evil attack in the world, on Justice, on Human Rights (that I see)... as an attack on me. And I think that is the problem. Almost none of we 'privileged' see the TRUTH that EVERY attack on Justice, EVERY attack on HUMAN RIGHTS... IS A PERSONAL ATTACK ON 'ME & MINE.' Justice is like the oxygen supply, like the food supply. When that get's destroyed for some, it get's destroyed for all... but yes, it is more invisible, and more IMMEDIATE than that. Deeeeeeeep sigh.

***** pic. When asked by an Israeli Publisher for permission to publish her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Color Purple, Alice Walker refused. Taking a moral stand, she replied in part: “Israel is guilty of apartheid and persecution of the Palestinian people, both inside Israel and also in the Occupied Territories.” She continued: "It is my hope that the non-violent BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement, of which I am part, will have enough of an impact on Israeli civilian society to change the situation."
I don't figure that Muslims killed more than a 2 million people or so in political violence in the entire twentieth century, and that mainly in the Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988 and the Soviet and post- Soviet wars in Afghanistan, for which Europeans bear some blame. Compare that to the European tally of, oh, lets say 100 million (16 million in WW I, 60 million in WW II - though some of those were attributable to Buddhists in Asia - and millions more in colonial wars.) Belgium - yes, the Belgium of strawberry beer and quaint Gravensteen castle - conquered the Congo and is estimated to have killed off half of its inhabitants over time, some 8 million people at least. Or, between 1916-1917 Tsarist Russian forces - facing the Basmachi revolt of Central Asians trying to throw off Christian, European rule - Russian forces killed an estimated 1.5 million people.
***** Francis... ' ‘You are not making a gift of what is yours to the poor man, but you are giving him back what is his. You have been appropriating things that are meant to be for the common use of everyone. The earth belongs to everyone, not to the rich.’ These were St. Ambrose’s words, which Pope Paul VI used to state, in Populorum Progressio, that private property does not constitute an absolute and unconditional right for anyone, and that no one is allowed to keep for their exclusive use things superfluous to their needs, when others lack basic necessities
WOODY ALLEN, 'RAPE IS WHAT I DO... MY DAUGHTER, PALESTINE... WHATEVER IS THERE...' WILFULLY, TOTALLY, LIES ABOUT THE TRUTH. "JEWS CAME IN PEACE?!?!?!?!!??!" YOU LYING BASTARD. YOU HAVE EARNED MY CONTEMPT FOR ETERNITY. http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/.premium-1.606245

nd. I'm really struggling, physically, mentally. I feel like I'm drowning in the world's evil. I am being drowned by the world's evil, by Amerikkka's evil, by the Zionist's evil. I was born and raised in a materially over-protected, idyllic bubble - anyone would envy it. I would not trade one second of my life now, for then. I think that is surprising. Prefer drowning? I would not trade one second of now, for then. I'm aware that I don't like living; I dislike being alive in these times. But what bothers me is for the last 4 weeks since the last operation... I'm between shallow and deep depression... and functioning at a very low level in terms of fighting the evil. I have so little strength, physically, and emotionally. This will pass. I think it is part of the work... allowing one to be broken by the evil... periodically... regularly... to emerge repaired, more capable, wiser, more able. I hope this phase passes soon. Writing about it, sharing it, is part of the healing and growth process.

Nd. Tim Willcox apologises to daughter of Holocaust survivor at Paris rally for saying 'Palestinians suffer hugely at Jewish hands as well'. Many are asking for his resignation over hate speech.As a Palestinian Christian who grew up in Palestine it feels like this: you've been harassed by an entity, you've seen this entity rape your people's dignity and rights, humiliate and kill many in front of you and around you, yet you can't speak up because then it's hate speech. And if anyone important speaks up it jeopardises their career and image. So you feel like chocking but you refuse to be silent anyway even if some will judge you. #JeSuisPalestininne

***** 46 examples of Muslim outrage about Paris shooting that Fox News can’t seem to find.... Every time an extremist who is Muslim commits an act of terrorism, people ask where the moderate Muslim voices condemning violence are. (Interestingly, as a Jew, I don’t usually get asked to condemn extremism when it is perpetuated by Jewish fundamentalists like Baruch Goldstein, who shot 29 praying Muslims do death, and injured 125, at the Cave of the Patriarchs, or Yigal Amir, who killed Israeli Prime MinisterYitzhak Rabin.
