Cornelius,
I wonder how much do the zionists pay you to peddle this useless propaganda? I think you better find another venue if you are to put your fee to good use because you are preaching to the wrong audience.

Subject: Re: FWD: Palestine: Israeli Killing Fields
Who gave the name Palestine to the area?
So you think that the Philistines are the spiritual ancestors of today’s
terrorists?
When did the period of Jahiliya end? Has he actually read the history of Islam?
The saddest bit with reference to the Bait Hamikdash, Akleh writes “he asks them
to build him a pathetic temple when he has the whole universe as his house”
http://www.google.se/search?hl=en&rlz=1T4ADBR_enSE222SE222&q=The+Temple+in+Jerusalem
Islam adopted all the prophets of Israel + Jesus of Nazareth, in the year 610 of
the Common Era, which is only 1, 397 years ago.
If someone wrote about Muhammad and Muslims the way that Akleh does, a fatwa
would be passed, condemning the author to death.
Akleh should also be concerned about DARFUR.
At most points ( about 15) which I could painstakingly point out, Elias Akleh
is at variance with Quranic writ and testimonies of the hadith. Today, Akleh is
still rehashing his racist, anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist ideals in these
post-Zionist times. He has assembled his main points of distortion,
misinformation and hatred in this one article. He has been writing extensively
for some years now. He is not alone. You should go to back issues of the
Palestine Times in which a more nuanced but no less vile Israel Shahak and some
of his allies did a whole series (about 24 chapters of Jewish Fundamentalism and
the Hebrew Faith. Same kind of anti-Semitic propaganda. I suppose that he was
being paid handsomely to write such unadulterated bullshit of the type to be
found in some of the anti-Semitic hate sites which are not recommended, unless
you want to be like them and I have only looked in at the most infamous one run
by the Moroccan called Rami who I told there is a difference between Zionism and
Judaism. He was adamant. No difference, said he. I last met him at an Iranian
Party from which he drove me to town.
First met him when I was checking out all the Muslim organisations in Stockholm
and the conversation went like this
Me: Asalamalaikum wa rahmatullah… I introduced myself and my mission.
Rami: I don’t talk to Zionists.
Me: But I am not a Zionist.
I asked him where he was and made an appointment. Met him twenty minutes later
by the then Central Post Office on Vasagatan.
He too has suffered.
His hate site? I’ve spent a total of less than half an hour there. It is not
worth a visit. It is a monumental confirmation of a pathology which consumes
those who burn with that kind of hatred for which they want to be rewarded with
paradise.
He believes in his cause.
The devil also has mass followers and recruits suicide bombers, officiates at
literary bonfires, and does not want the real Prophets.......
Those who presume to know better, always assume that they know what is in
somebody else head. If it keeps them in happy illusion that’s ok. Knowledge is
power, so I recommend that you read this, critically and not believe everything
you read.
Pluto Press is interesting. Find out more about it.
Friend Hamdi Hassan (Egyptian researcher at Stockholm University) was published
by them.
His “The Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait - Religion, Identity and Otherness in the
Analysis of War and Conflict “ is an interesting read, well researched and
informative. Could equip you with a more informed and less gullible attitude to
political reality and propaganda.
You may read the whole book here:
