| Jews defend Muslims |
| 2009-10-29 |
| Switzerland's biggest Jewish groups have described a far-right push to ban mosque minarets as a threat to religious harmony and the integration of Muslims. The Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities and the Platform of Liberal Jews in Switzerland said a November 29 referendum on minaret construction ''poses a threat to peaceful relations between the religions and inhibits the integration endeavours of Muslims in Switzerland'' as well as infringing religious freedom, ''a concept enshrined in the constitution''. Islam is the second largest religion in Switzerland after Christianity with 310,000 followers out of a population of 7.5 million. Four minarets have been built and the construction of a fifth is planned. |

| #4 Well, Abel took care of Cain. Ishmael was pandered to by the family under the guise of Isaac. Abraham was given a wide berth. Yet in every inning, Ishmael takes the out because they take advantage of the Father. That is no position of pride. Ishmael has a promise, yes he does, but that is traditionally based upon conduct. Ishmael is supposed to hold the east side of the Temple which is the garden, in future reparations for the runius adventure with Abel. Lot must continue to run the earth with that mark upon his head and he is angry about it. oh well |

| #3 Actually the Jewish Golden Rule is: "Do not do unto others, what you what not have others do unto you." The Christian Golden rule is active; the Jewish is passive. |

| #2 Somehow a mistranslation crept into Jewish learning and "Do into others as they would do into you" become "Do into others as you wish they would do into you". |

| #1 Judaism is plagued with Jews that hate Judaism and Jews. It is a mystery. |
