The Tosfos Yomtov was convinced that the death of 300,000 –600,000 Jews during the Chmielnicki massacres of 1648-49 were because of improper Tefila. Communicated: Tefilla

Chillul Tefila Bifarhesia, as well as halachicly challenged verbiage and dress, are external manifestations of a critical lack of personal yiras shomayim which has lethal consequences.

Death and Fear are at Center of Islamic Society

The main concern of Muslim citizens in any Islamic state is staying safe, alive and away from being accused of doing or saying anything against Islamic teachings.

Instead of soberly facing the threat of Islam, the West has become desensitized to all the murderous videos pouring out of the Muslim world. There is no outrage in Western governments, media or NGOs over what we hear and see sluicing daily out of the Middle East: the photos of hundreds of Christians burned alive by Muslims in Nigeria; the videos of beheadings and burning-alive of apostates to be found all over the internet; or the daily Islamic reminders — from many political leaders, Arab television, and the pulpits of mosques, Arab television and political leaders — that, in their opinion, Jews are the descendants of apes and pigs.

If we are to preserve Western freedoms for future generations, it is time to change our dismissal of, and indifference to, the deep-rootedness of these views.

Westerners have been investing a lot of time, effort and money trying to understand Islam, when all they need to do is listen to what Muslim leaders are saying. American foreign policy priorities should not be the appeasement of an Islamic culture desperate for approval, but protecting its citizens, culture and constitution from all morally bankrupt and tyrannical ideologies.

    Sinem Tezyapar from Turkey is saying that the Koran does not sanction war against non-Muslims and that Isalm is a religion of love and peace and equal rights for Jews and all that jazz. In truth, I'm rather surprised that she is still alive promoting Islam to the public with such lies.

  2. why zionist jews have a big mouth??? just shut up you can't defeat Islam.

    • Blake Wilson says:

      You're proving their point. Fuck you, you'll all end up frying.

    • Surjit Kaila says:

      Ararsa mohammad '' why Zionist jews have a big mouth ??? " Oh! Boy, you are fine one to talk of 'big mouth' as if your is any smaller.
      '' just shut up you can't defeat islam'' If you muslims had your way you would NOT let any Infidels open their mouth. Is there any wonder now the vast majority of non muslims hate Islam and muslims. Thank God that majority of Christians and non-muslims are more tolerant than muslims otherwise , you would be wiped off.

  3. Yehuda Cohen says:

    The Rambam, Rabbi Mosheh Ben Maimon (Maimonides), wrote a formal didactic (teaching) letter to the Yemenite Jews in 1172 informing them that Muhammad is a false prophet and insane.
    In parasha VaYishlach (Gen 36:40-43) we find the genealogy of Esav’s family of which the present day Muslim/Arab population are derived from. In this parasha, it shows the depravity of Esav’s family which was rife with incest. Since the children of a bastard (mamzer) are also illegitimate, in the end all of Esau’s descendants are actually illegitimate. The family history of Mohammed in particular shows that he was also illegitimate; so, we have a large group of people in our world today worshiping and following an illegitimate person from an illegitimate family. So, sperm banks are just a cover to the public so that they can carry on the tradition of Arab/Muslim/Islams’ illegitimacy. If mankind today had a cure for insanity, there would not be an Islam.

  5. Muslims kill Muslim every day, about 250 per week average, you are doing the job for the human race. Islam will defeat its self.

    • Surjit Kaila says:

      Sergio " Muslims kill muslims every day …you are doing the job for the human race. " You are right, don't forget that muslims have been killing one another from the times of their so called mo-ham-mad [ may pi$s be upon him.] '' islam will defeat its self '' yes, We must make sure we support sunnis and shias against each other.

  6. Ryan Muhammad says:

    @ Ararsa – you're displaying typical Muhammad brainwashing, that the response to every problem is "blame the Zionist Jews". Muhammad is the one to blame for creating a poisonous system enslaving the minds of nearly 2 billion people and the many who are then enslaved by Muslims.

    In case you didn't read the article, and I'm sure you didn't, Noni is an ex-Muslim from a Muslim country. She is not a "Zionist Jew".

    Please open your eyes and mind. I know that is hard for you because Muhammad has diseased them both. But open them to see what it was that Muhammad was so scared of that he put Sura 3:100 and 5:101-102 in the Qur'an. He was afraid of the truth exposing him as a false prophet. The Jews exposed him as such which is why he hated them. The Christians saw through his false claim to prophethood and that's why he hated them.

    In case you still can't see from the obvious reason in Sura 5:102 why Muhammad was so scared of the Bible, even though he confirmed the unchangeable reliability of it as Allah's words, then look at Sura 23:14 and see all of the many errors in the Qur'an on embryology. In case you don't know, the Qur'an has a test to prove whether or not it is from God. if there are discrepancies / errors in it, that proves it isn't from God. And there are so many errors in the Qur'an, the easiest of which to illustrate factually are the blatant errors in Sura 23:14 on embryological development.

Following the Boston Marathon bombing, one crucial point will likely remain overlooked. The most loathsome aspect of this or any other terror bombing attack on civilians will always lie in the inexpressibility of physical pain. While all decent people will abhor the idea of bombs expressly directed at the innocent, whether here or in other countries, none will ever be able to process the very deepest horrors of what has been inflicted.

It’s only natural to see increasing evidence of Jerusalem’s glorious Jewish past being unearthed, quite literally, under modern Israeli sovereignty. The new archaeological finds are also very timely – as the Arab onslaught attempting to detach Jerusalem from its Jewish roots gains steam, the facts on the ground, or “under” the ground, show quite otherwise.

The Talmud (Berachot 26b) says, “tefillot avot tiknum” – “prayer was established by the avot.” The Talmud then uses the following verse (Bereshit 19:27) to prove how Avraham established prayer: “Vayaskem Avraham baboker el hamakom asher amad sham et pnei Hashem” – “And Avraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before God.”

Nearly 13 years ago, then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak journeyed to Camp David to end the conflict with the Palestinians. With the approval of President Clinton, he offered Yasir Arafat an independent Palestinian state in almost all of the West Bank, Gaza and in part of Jerusalem. Arafat said no.

The news that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative groups has brought renewed spotlight on a 2010 lawsuit filed by the pro-Israel group Z Street, which alleges it was also singled out by the IRS when applying for tax-exempt status.

In an editorial last week (“Circling the Wagons”) we noted the efforts by the administration and its supporters to dismiss allegations that the government’s spin on the Benghazi attack was designed to shield the president and that the IRS was improperly used to stifle opposition to Mr. Obama’s reelection.

As the controversies besetting the Obama administration continue to grow in number and intensity, the prospect that President Obama would seriously consider military action against Iran, should that country continue its drive to become a nuclear power, becomes more and more remote. So we welcome the current enhancement of sanctions against Iran on the federal and New York State levels.

To his parents’ friends, he was “Mrs. Greenberg’s disgrace,” but to sports fans he is one of the greatest – if not the greatest – Jewish baseball players of all time. Long before Sandy Koufax, Hank Greenberg excited Jewish sports fans with his prowess on the baseball diamond.
