Slashdot Mirror

You have to keep pro-Brexit Facebook ads in perspective:

• The UK government spent more than Vote Leave's entire legal spending limit on a pro-Remain leaflet
• They enlisted Obama to state (incorrectly, it turns out) that the UK would be at the "back of the queue" for a trade deal
• They enlisted the IMF to state (incorrectly, it turns out) that a Leave vote would result in a recession by 2017
• Serious consideration is being given to a second referendum to overturn the first, which would never have happened if the result had been the other way — even if the EU continued its rapid evolution into a superstate
• much more

This level of gaming the system clearly dwarfs a few Facebook ads

If Islam is against the Jewish people, why did Muslims protect them when Christians were trying to wipe them out in Europe?

Within a century of the death of Mohammad, in 632, Muslim armies had conquered almost the whole of the world where Jews lived, from Spain eastward across North Africa and the Middle East as far as the eastern frontier of Iran and beyond. Almost all the Jews in the world were now ruled by Islam. This new situation transformed Jewish existence. Their fortunes changed in legal, demographic, social, religious, political, geographical, economic, linguistic and cultural terms - all for the better.

Short answer - the Muslims needed Dhimmis to be their servants and do their menial jobs. And to pay the Jiziya. Living like leeches off non-Muslims was always a stable of Shariah practice.

About what Islam is, nowhere is it more obvious than in the Quran and Hadith: just 2 examples below, but there's plenty more where that came from

2:65-66. And well ye knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath: We said to them: "Be ye apes, despised and rejected." So We made it an example to their own time and to their posterity, and a lesson to those who fear Allah.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

Rep. Darrell Issa's battle with a flamboyant conservative Internet columnist who called the Arab-American lawmaker "jihad Darrell" has become a bizarre sideshow to what authorities say was a recent plot to bomb Issa's district office in San Clemente. Issa and his aides said columns written by political commentator Debbie Schlussel might have inflamed Jewish Defense League officials, who allegedly were targeting the San Diego County lawmaker. One of the suspects, Irving David Rubin, chairman of the JDL, gave copies of the Internet commentaries to an FBI informant, who helped thwart a plot to blow up a Los Angeles-area mosque and one of Issa's offices, according to a source familiar with the case.

Israel has less than 760 kilometers of fence

That's one hell of a fence.

Or, conversely, it's not the fence that's the problem, it's the giant concrete wall that it's built on top of. Bonus spiderman in picture because why the fuck not.

It works in Israel because a majority of the population has no qualms with embracing apartheid. Israel, where hypocrisy is the national dish.

Amen to that, and they are working to put another astronaut in space as well.

Eagerly awaiting your reply. I'm especially excited about how many points get you on the last one.

No, you are wrong, the OP is correct: there have been Jewish religious courts in England for centuries. Religious courts already in use. A London woman this week expressed shock at the prospect of being divorced by a rabbinical court against her will — in part because she allegedly wore clothes it deemed “provocative”.
