Christianity Banned, Islam Okay in NYC Schools

While Muslim goons around the world try to dictate to Denmark what it can publish in its newspapers, the imposition of their barbaric religion on the entire world proceeds more quietly in New York City, where politically correct fifth columnists work to suppress Christianity while upholding Islam.

A federal appeals court has ruled that it's fine for NYC Public Schools to ban nativity scenes at Christmas time, while permitting the Islamic star and crescent during Ramadan. The ruling is based on the absurd notion that the star and crescent symbol is "secular," as opposed to "purely religious" nativity scenes. Jewish menorahs during Hanukkah are also given "secular" status and are not forbidden by our black-robed rulers.

From Roman Times to the Present Time, From Nero to the liberal elite, Christianity is a peerless instrument in striking terror into the hearts of tyrants.

OT: Moonbat Compassion in Action: Clean Razor Blades For Self-Mutilators

Yeah, we wouldn't want to get them to just, um, stop cutting themselves or anything. The real definition of compassion is enabling destructive behavior. Viagra for AIDS patients, clean needles for junkies, and now clean needles for cutters.

Shalom -

I am an observant Jew - and I assure you, the idea that a menorah is a "secular" symbol is, in a word, absurd. That is a total misrepresentation that appears to have the sole purpose of placing Judaism on a different plane than Christianity for purposes of public display. Huh? Why? I am trying NOT to believe that there is a deliberate effort here to quash Christianity. . .but I cannot formulate an alternate model that meets the facts!

It boggles my mind that Muslims and Jews are receiving protection for their right to display their symbols that is being denied to Christians, who, last time I checked, made up a vast majority of Americans.

What a total shame for all Americans - Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or other.

6PO,

The inner workings of the Radical Left Wing-nut Liberal mind are no mystery. Judeo-Christian values are the foundations of America. Their goal is a fractured country consisting of dozens or hundreds of minor religions at which point they can outlaw them all and declare the Government as God.

The only reason Jews are not openly in attacked in America is that they are a small minority and what Hitler did in WWII.

When are people going to be as outraged at cartoonish depictions of Jews the same way they are freaking out over the cartoons of Mohammed?
We dont see Jews torching and attacking Islamic embassies over Muslim cartoons about Jews.

When Israel finally decides enough is enough with Iran, may God guide its missiles to their targets and vaporize the radical Islamic menace.

Christianity outgrew its truly dark side a hundreds of years ago (it still has its problems but they pale in comparison to the radical Islamic menace). Islam is still 500 years behind. The big difference today is nuclear weapons are a reality unlike several hundred years ago. The potential for destruction is massive.

In America people are supposed to be free to express their religious beliefs in public, whether they be in school, the streets or in government as long as they dont interfere with the right of another. Sadly that is becoming less and less reality.

I can foresee the day when people will complain that the mere sight of Church is offensive and it should be torn down and Christians be forced to worship in windowless basements - the same way Christian in Islamic countries do.

Shalom, General -

Your point is well-taken; this does seem to be only one facet of a larger move to "demonize" religion in general (or at least so far as it refers to any sort of ethical responsibility or dignity).

My own experience as a Jew in America has been that a few people are jerks, but most are completely decent. Certainly I don't feel like my faith and its symbols ever receive the disrespect that is just commonplace when directed at Christians. I think you are right; there is a certain unwillingness to openly bash Judaism (at least in the US).

This may result not only from the residual Holocaust sorrow, but from the general tendency of the Left to avoid criticizing any party perceived as "the underdog" when there is a convenient monolith to blame instead.

It is sad to think that my safety and freedom here in part are a result of people's fixation on bashing the Church.

My own life has been filled with Gentiles who were my friends, teachers, neighbors, and colleagues - and I am all the richer for it. May we all soon be free of these mindless automatons that would subdue that which is great and striving in us and replacve it with weakness, indignity, and ethical spinelessness.

Am Yisrael Chai!

Does anyone else see the troubling nature of all these separate points being drawn together towards a central point of grave concern?

Whether it's the skirmish over the cartoon war, the suppression of Christianity or even the Hitlerian drama playing out in Venezuela, we may look back on in later days on these points as the warning bells that went ignored.

Mike, you are correct.

I want the war to begin now. I want to help in the effort to purge the world of the evils of Islam and Leftism.

If this does not happen, Western civilization will surely end. Islam attacking on the outside, Leftism corrupting from the inside.

Doug--They are BOTH going to lose. Big Time.

Thanks 6PO. I support you and your views also. In elementary school, I was the narrator for a Jewish play. I didn't think anything of it. We are sort of like different languages with the same God.
