#2 I didn't know there were any left in the whole Arabian peninsula.

Yep, when the (North) Yemen were expelling them in the sixties they realized that there would be no craftsmen left to make things, so they stopped the deportations. About 20,000 remained, subject to restrictions - not allowed to own cars, though they can fix them, not allowed to own knives other than kitchen cutlery, although they make the traditional (Rhino horn) daggers, etc.etc. for really good info read "Baghdad without a map" by Tony Horwitz.

#3 In fact if my memory is any good the Koran calls for teh explleing of Jews (and Christains) out of the Arabian peninsula so their presence in Yemen is unislamic. Ein Volk, ein Reich, Ein Prophet.

#5 Note that children are considered property that can be stolen. The evil of this "religion" is so blatant and so monstrous it could hardly be a greater parody of itself. And yet the left cringes along behind these Orcs. I find it hard to say which is worse.

#7 Thank you, someone2. I've bookmarked the site for further reading, and plan to send the link to a friend, descended from a long line of Egyptian rabbis, who himself escaped from Egypt at the age of 15.
