Two Faces or Two Hearts ???

Muslim women are dubbed as extremist or oppressed when, following their religion, they modestly cover their bodies, while for Jew women it is said to be their religious duty or gentleness. Why this double game or hypocrisy of the Americans and Europeans ?

Not only that, some countries have banned wearing of modest clothing by Muslim women while in other counties they are teased / harassed if wearing modest clothes.

This is the true face so-called human-rights-living / liberal society of Europe and USA.

Just in case if you think that Muslims are the only one who wears Burqa. Here is Haredi burka Jewish sect that observe more stricter Veil than Muslims.

Orthodox Jewish women have always felt proud wearing modest dresses.
Now, in some Orthodox Jewish sects, women have gone to a new level of modesty by covering their whole body and face.

Many of these families dress their young girls of all ages with the same full dress garb, except for the face veil. This modest Orthodox Jewish sect, is concentrated mainly in Israel, in which ultra-Orthodox Jewish women feel that modesty requires covering their entire body burqa-style, including a veil that covers the face.

The new ultra-Orthodox Jewish woman by old-mcdonald

The garment, which is more like a burka niqab, is also called frumka, a play on the word frum (Yiddish for the devotee) and the burka. This Orthodox Jewish sect, is estimated to have started out with about 100 women in 2008, and grew to several hundred in 2011. To date, there are about 30,000 women who wear shawls, according to Rabbi David Benizri. The group mainly resides in the city of Beit Shemesh.

“This dress code was adopted due to concerns about the state of deterioration of modesty in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community,” Rabbi Benizri said.
“The rabbi explained to us the benefits of Jewish women dressing modestly. We leave our body for our husbands and we don’t want to share our bodies with others,” Saari Rothberg, 22, who proudly wears the Jewish burqa in Beit Shemesh, Israel told YourJewishNews.com.

What is a burqa? A burqa is usually associated with the dress code of Muslim women, but the word burqa simply refers to the face-veil portion, which is usually a rectangular piece of semi-transparent cloth whose top is sewn to the corresponding part of the headscarf.”

Things to Remember

Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.
Your children get only one childhood.
All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.

57 Cent Church

A little girl stood near a small church from which she had been turned away because it was ‘too crowded.’
‘I can’t go to Sunday School,’ she sobbed to the pastor as he walked by.

Seeing her shabby, unkempt appearance, the pastor guessed the reason and, taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the Sunday school class. The child was so happy that they found room for her, and she went to bed that night thinking of the children who have no place to worship Jesus.

Some two years later, this child lay dead in one of the poor tenement buildings. Her parents called for the kindhearted pastor who had befriended their daughter to handle the final arrangements.

As her poor little body was being moved, a worn and crumpled red purse was found which seemed to have been rummaged from some trash dump.

Inside was found 57 cents and a note, scribbled in childish handwriting, which read: ‘This is to help build the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday School.’

For two years she had saved for this offering of love.

When the pastor tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he would do. Carrying this note and the cracked, red pocketbook to the pulpit, he told the story of her unselfish love and devotion.

He challenged his deacons to get busy and raise enough money for the larger building.

But the story does not end there….

A newspaper learned of the story and published It. It was read by a wealthy realtor who offered them a parcel of land worth many thousands.

When told that the church could not pay so much, he offered to sell it to the little church for 57 cents.

Church members made large donations. Checks came from far and wide..
Within five years the little girl’s gift had increased to $250,000.00–a huge sum for that time (near the turn of the century). Her unselfish love had paid large dividends.

When you are in the city of Philadelphia , look up Temple Baptist Church , with a seating capacity of 3,300. And be sure to visit Temple University, where thousands of students are educated.

Have a look, too, at the Good Samaritan Hospital and at a Sunday School building which houses hundreds of beautiful children, built so that no child in the area will ever need to be left outside during Sunday school time.

In one of the rooms of this building may be seen the picture of the sweet face of the little girl whose 57 cents, so sacrificially saved, made such remarkable history. Alongside of it is a portrait of her kind pastor, Dr. Russell H. Conwell, author of the book, ‘Acres of Diamonds’.

This is a true story, which goes to show WHAT GOD CAN DO WITH 57 CENTS.

The Liars Lost Their Bet

On January 28, 2003, two months before the US and Britain invaded Iraq, I had an article published titled ‘Weapons of Mass Distraction’ in which I wrote “let us be realistic about repeated US assertions that Iraq has nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. (President George Bush calls them ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’, which is a dreary propaganda phrase.) If America has evidence of these weapons it could produce it without compromising intelligence sources. Mr Bush and his staff keep announcing that Iraq possesses these things, yet refuse to give us proof.”

I questioned the statements of western politicians concerning Iraq’s possession of “materials to produce as much as 500 tons of Sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent”, which was what George Bush declared. His orders to invade Iraq were carried out on March 19 and he was backed up by a particularly nauseating piece of perambulating filth, Britain’s British prime minister Tony Blair, who announced in September 2002 that Saddam Hussein “has existing and active military plans for the use of chemical and biological weapons, which could be activated within 45 minutes.”

Bush and Blair were a couple of squalid schemers whose disgusting lies led to massive destruction and caused a staggering number of deaths in the most horrible circumstances. Neither of them has the slightest understanding of the utter misery they inflicted on millions of people. They refuse to admit that the current disaster in Iraq would not have happened had they not gone to war. They are unashamed of their lies, their folly and their slaughter.

Last week the man Blair tried to justify his wicked deceit by writing that “we must liberate ourselves from the notion that ‘we’ have caused this.” He ignores the fact that he and Bush had waged an undeclared war in Iraq for years before they ordered their invasion. Not only did they impose vicious sanctions but declared ‘no-fly zones’ supposedly to protect Shias and Kurds but which were intended to destroy Iraq’s entire infrastructure. The zones had no basis in international law and complemented sanctions in a particularly savage manner.

British and American strike aircraft and cruise missiles zoomed round Iraq’s skies having wonderful yippee-shoots blitzing what they called “legitimate targets”. Like the children killed in January 1999 when an AGM-130 cruise missile “slammed into the middle of the residential neighbourhood of Basra, killing 17 civilians, at least 4 of them small children playing in the streets.”

We know that foreign children don’t matter to warmongers. After all, when US ambassador to the UN Madeleine Albright was asked on television whether she considered the deaths of half a million Iraqi children a reasonable consequence of US sanctions she replied “This is a very hard choice, but we think the price is worth it.” Can you imagine any human being believing that the death of half a million kids is justifiable?

The price was worth – what?

The price of the US-UK war on Iraq is now being paid with staggering intensity. Thousands of people are dying in the latest phase of hideous slaughter by mindless bigoted fanatics. And it was all started by Bush and Blair. The pre-war half million dead children were only a start.

Saddam was a ruthless dictator who was feared by his citizens. But during his secular regime his country was home to many Christians and Jews. Before the US-UK invasion there were 1.5 million Christians in Iraq. Most have fled and there remain only about 400,000 who exist in wretchedness and terror. And although the west and the Jewish lobby try to disguise the fact that Jews in Saddam’s Iraq were not persecuted it cannot be denied that it was only during the US occupation that the last remaining rabbi fled the country. When he got to Israel in 2006 he said he had been “living in a prison” and that Jews in Iraq were terrified of “kidnapping or execution.”

Blair ignores what happened – and especially what didn’t happen – in Iraq before the invasion that was ordered by his master, the deranged Bush. In his recent pathetic attempt at self-exculpation Blair wrote that “I understand all the reasons following Afghanistan and Iraq why public opinion was so hostile to involvement”, but ignores the fact that he endorsed the Bush bet about the war resulting in a “unified, democratic federal Iraq that can govern itself, defend itself, and sustain itself, and is an ally in the War on Terror.”

Look at what has happened as a direct result of the Bush-Blair war: Iraq is not unified or democratic and is not centrally-governed. It cannot defend itself in any fashion. But it is buying vastly expensive and useless military equipment from the United States.

On June 6, six days before “two divisions of Iraqi soldiers – roughly 30,000 men – simply turned and ran in the face of the assault by an insurgent force of just 800 fighters” Lockheed Martin delivered the first F-16 fighter aircraft of a contracted 36 valued at $1.9 billion. Then there are the deals for $4.8 billion for Apache attack helicopters, $2.4 billion for anti-aircraft missiles (presumably to combat the Isis air force), a paltry $800 million for 24 AT-6 Texan aircraft, and a $5 billion order for 30 Boeing 737-800s.

So be assured that America will fight, fight and fight again to keep the Iraqi government going Boeing.

In the January before the Bush-Blair war in 2003 I wrote that in order for us to believe that war was justified: “Just show us one nuclear device, not even a bomb, just a thingy that is nuclear. Just show us one picture taken yesterday of a missile with an NBC warhead. Let us see evidence that there is a missile launcher ready to shoot off a missile that could ‘kill up to one million people.’ All right: we’ll settle for a missile that could kill a thousand people. Produce evidence that Iraq has one vial of VX agent. Then we will say you were right, and watch you reduce Iraq to rubble.”

They couldn’t produce evidence. But they did reduce Iraq to rubble. And the present catastrophe in that ruined region is entirely their fault.

The liars lost their bet, but the arms manufacturers’ profits roll in. The price is worth it.
