Hi David,

Other than those few minor indiscretions, world wars, invasion of continents, the destruction of millions, is there anything that you can put your finger on that indicates that Christians were anything other than peaceful god fearing folk? I ask, can you name any real big nastiest that they may have been responsible for.... like, um...ah...um..well, you know what I mean.

Canem Malum,

Most reasonable people would distance themselves from what they
see as hate-groups. And after reading what was on the
site of "Bare-Naked Islam," the conclusion was easy.
It was a hate-group site. They don't need to be convicted
of being guilty. That site does it so well for them.
One only has to read what's on it.

I found that the site reached such a pitch of Anti-Muslim
hysteria which came across as being put together by an irrational
person. Since then I have learned that the person responsible
for the site is someone - who's been described
as a total nut-job.

I believe that the site is run by "hate-groups."
You have only to read what's on there to see that.
And if you don't - that speaks volumes.

Canem Malum,

The Southern Poverty Law Center is considered authoritative
by academic and media sources. They provide information to
the FBI. The following link provides more information on
the work that they do:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Poverty_Law_Center

They do not break the law. They work with it.

Dear Canem Malum,

The fact remains that the Anti-Defamation League was founded 35 years before the state of Israel so they cannot be an Israeli front group even though they support Israel. An Israeli front group by the definition of a front group is a group that is established by Israel.

Since I support separation of religion and state I do not support Israel which has less separation of religion and state than Australia which gives taxpayer money to religious schools and has chaplains in the public schools.

Nevertheless the Anti-Defamation League is not an Israeli front group, and their support of Israel does not make them a front group.

David F Said- "The fact remains that the Anti-Defamation League was founded 35 years before the state of Israel so they cannot be an Israeli front group even though they support Israel. An Israeli front group by the definition of a front group is a group that is established by Israel."

Answer-

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Front_groups

Sourcewatch- Definition of Front Group

A front group is an organization that purports to represent one agenda while in reality it serves some other party or interest whose sponsorship is hidden or rarely mentioned. The front group is perhaps the most easily recognized use of the third party technique.
Of course, not all organizations engaged in manipulative efforts to shape public opinion can be classified as "front groups." For example, the now-defunct Tobacco Institute was highly deceptive, but it didn't hide the fact that it represented the tobacco industry.

Wikipedia- gives a definition similar to "David F"'s.

(When the media reports on the "Hate Groups" list the ADC, ADL produces rarely is there a mention that it explicitly suppports Israel. Anti-Defamation League would suggest that it is an organisation against Defamation but I would be surprised if it mentioned defamation by Jewish groups. I think the Jewish journalists at New Matilda mentioned just that point.)

Indi, good to see you are trying to propagate the thoughts of like minded people. You are known here by what you post, and you have posted a link to 'Bare Naked Islam' a hate group who condone violence towards what is mostly an innocent minority. When people start calling for "blood on their hands", and the "blowing up" of presumably innocent, men, women and children in Mosques, what other conclusion can be drawn.

You can always recant, and admit you made a mistake.
