An email I received- It is meant to be humorous, but It addresses Muslim intolerance for the society around it. However it applies equally to all religions, Jews, Christian the Amish etc

Tolerance:-

I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against another mosque being built in Brisbane.

I think it should be the goal of every Australian to be tolerant.

Thus the Mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.

That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque.

We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, "The Turban Cowboy ", and the other a topless bar called "You Mecca Me Hot."

Next door should be a butcher's shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbeque pork restaurant, called "Iraq o'
Ribs."

Across the street there could be a lingerie store called "Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret ", with sexy mannequins in the window modelling the goods.

Next door to the lingerie shop there would be room for an adult sex toy shop, "Koranal Knowledge ", its name in flashing neon lights, and on the other side a liquor store called "Morehammered."

All of this would encourage the Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us, so the mosque problem would be solved.

If you agree with promoting tolerance, and think this is a good plan,
please pass it on...

if we had taken the signes more serriously
maybe there wouldnt have been a christ'el [lol]..nacht

"For months now the struggle against Germany is waged by each Jewish community, at each conference, in all our syndicates, and by each Jew all over the world. There is reason to believe that our part in this struggle has general value.

We will trigger a spiritual and material war of all the world against Germany's ambitions to become once again a great nation, to recover lost territories and colonies.

But our Jewish interests demand the complete destruction of Germany. Collectively and individually, the German nation is a threat to us Jews." -- Vladimir Jabotinsky (founder of the Jewish terrorist group, Irgun Zvai Leumi) in Mascha Rjetsch, January, 1934 (also quoted in "Histoire de l'Arme'e Allemande"by Jacques Benoist--Mechin, Vol. IV, p. 303).

Jonathan,

Thanks for your comments. I do not consider my ‘claims’ (I prefer the word ‘opinions’) to be biased. There are any number of reported incidents of discrimination and abuse by Israel and its government, by international and Israeli sources.

Please do not confuse my remonstrations against the nationalist right-wing Likud party, which has pretty much ruled and influenced Israel since the late seventies, with anti-semitism or even anti-Zionism. I do not oppose the existence of the state of Israel. I do not hate, or even dislike, the Jewish people. In fact, I have many friends who are Jewish, some of them Israeli.

What I am opposed to is the usurpation of the ideal of Zionism by nationalists, or Revisionist Zionism, which advocates that Israel maintain control of the West Bank and East Jerusalem (by any means, it seems to me) and continues to adopt a hard-line approach in the Israeli-Arab conflict. I am opposed to this philosophy because it precludes a peaceful resolution to the current conflict.

Like many supporters of Israel’s hard-line nationalism, you ask me to confirm whether “a sovereign state of Palestine onto whose soil the Israelis “settled”?” Yet, in all the historical accounts, even by Israel itself, the land in dispute is always referred to as Palestine, and the people living there as Palestinians. To recognize and call ‘Palestine’ by its name is, to all intents and purposes, realizing it as an entity, no matter which government of the day ruled over it. By answering your own question with the statement: “The Israelis occupied lands that previously Egypt and Jordan occupied. Pretty simple stuff really” in no way dissolves Israel’s guilt over annexation of land following the Six Day War and subsequent settlement of that land. Nor, I might add, do calls for Jordan to re-enter the fray and help deal with the ‘Palestinian problem’. Israel has made its bed, and now it must lie in it.

And, for the record, some very creditable sources cite Israel as the aggressor in 1966-67.

(cont’)

I do agree with your statements regarding signing of the NPT being virtually worthless. However, Israel seeks constantly to remind us that it is the only western cog in the middle-eastern wheel. Yet it refuses to join with other western nations and sign the NPT. More than that, it rails against Iranian nuclear proliferation, urging the US to wage yet another, expensive war on its behalf.

To me, Jonathan, Israel (under the governance and control of the Likud Party) behaves very much like a spoilt child who wants to have his cake and eat it too. It displays the utmost hypocrisy in its dealings on the international stage – demanding recognition, aid and support yet accusing any who question the methods of its governance of anti-semitism and idealogical interference. There are increasing calls for Israel’s accountability, not least by notable Israelis and Jewish people and how anyone can justify the machinations of the current Israeli government is beyond me.

Cherful,
Love the suggestions for shops located around the Mosque. What a great idea. In fact I think most of these stores should be chain stores also located around the Synagogues and Catholic churches.

May-be we could also add gay marriage venues and abortion clinics.
Let's promote tolerance throughout the comunity.

November 13, 2012 "Information Clearing House" -The 2005 call by more than 170 Palestinian organizations, both within Palestine and without, to boycott Israeli products and services, divest from companies that support and sustain Israel and sanction the Israeli state and its agencies is one of the most important and potentially one of the most effective strategies to end the injustices perpetrated against the Palestinian people as a result of the creation of a Zionist state and by Zionist actions even before.
