    Palestinians reminds me of the Orangemen

    I know I am totally in for it now with this thread but seriously it really does remind of this. I mean if you asked someone living in England did they know what the Orangemen marched for or believed in or worshipped or whatever it is they do the English wouldn't have a clue. The Palestinians are only taking an interest in Jeresalem because the Jewish came back declaring it as their own. It was only then that the Palestinians claimed their rights over it. Now doesn't that remind you of a story close to home?

    Err.. he said:
    "Palestinians are only taking an interest in Jeresalem because the Jewish came back declaring it as their own. It was only then that the Palestinians claimed their rights over it."

    utterly ignoring the hundreds of years of crusades over the area!

    What the hell question are you asking?

    When, pray tell, did the 'ishmaelites' refrain from their interest in Al Quds?

    I think you'll find that it is the Settlers in Palestine who share similiar traits to the settlers in Ulster.

    The heightened sense of superiority, the belief that their God is superior to the natives' God, and the self-righteous illogical justifications for killing the native Untermensch.

    Not to mention the wearing of clothes that date back to another time in another Country.

    Not forgetting the fact that Jerusalem is also the third holiest city to a certain cult the founder of which is reputed to have sailed up to heaven from within its walls. Preposterous I know, particularly as the aforementioned founder never set foot in the place, but no more ridiculous than some other religious "assumptions".

    Is this the Ascension of Jesus?
    Ascension of Jesus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    or the Mi'raj of Muhammad?
    Isra and Mi'raj - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Enoch, founder of the "Enochians" and supposedly of the free-masons, is a jewish prophet .. but I don't think his ascension was from Jerusalem..
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch_(ancestor_of_Noah)


    And the jewish prophet Elijah, who of course raised the dead and brought fire down from the sky, had left Jerusalem and was on route to Jordan when he ascened.
    Elijah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Of those, Muhammad is the only one to actually to do the decent thing and actually die.. is that to whom you refer?

    The only decent thing he ever did. The others may have done one better though and not have existed at all
