Thank you for your honesty and courage in speaking out. I am Jewish and clearly see the history of this "religion" of hate and oppression. I am currently reading Dennis Prager"s "Why the Jews"and recommend it very highly. It is horrifying and depressing, delineating the history of the Jews when forced to live in Muslim lands. (Not that the Christian religion was any nicer to the Jewish people). I have no doubt that the western fools protesting on behalf of the Palestinians would be treated exactly the same were - G-d forbid - the Islamists should succeed in their goal. There are something like 23 Muslim nations compared to one Jewish one the size of New Jersey. If these protestors actually thought about it, we all know which one they would choose to live in if they had to. And yet, I have Jewish family and friends who support this cause, one I can't even have a rational discussion with her as there is only one side that is right and it is hers. She justifies herself, telling me there are many Jewish people also supporting Palestine. I guess that gives the lie to the supposed Intelligence of the Jewish people. Reading the Prager book made me realize that this may be the most important issue that we need to attend to, more important even than the supposed climate change. Because if the Islamists succeed, life will not be worth living for the majority of the human race.
Dennis Prager is a shining light. I heard he had a terrible fall and I pray he will recover. Men like him are few and far between.
Jews who betray their own people are hard to understand. It is some kind of mental virus! I have friends like that, too, I can't imagine being Jewish yourself and dealing with that in family and friends. And you're right, it's pointless to try and rationalize with them.
OMG I had no idea he had a fall! He's such a sweet an' wise/smart fella--my girls an' I enjoy his fireside chats (may Otto RIP!)... My prayers his way too.
Yes yes,Karen... I think it's a "to fit in" thing--twisted self preservation.... if they PRETEND to support those that would want 'em dead...mebbe they'll be spared. It did NOT work in Nazi German nor Vichy France... those lessons not "larned" ... sadly. (Also many've those anti-zionist joos are just as mean 'n militant as those they hang with--won't listen ta me, I've tried...) Others are quiet-silent, also "fearful"....
Da WokeFolks go on how AWFUL (deeskustin') it was for jooish-owned companies & firms decidin' NOT to hire pro-palestinian college grads based on their hateful social media postin's--how biased an' awful & judgemental it is (for not wantin' ta hire folks that would like them DEAD). But it's a double standard... any one of these "river to sea" biznesses will dox joos an' fire 'em if they don't "stand with palestine." One fella had a star of david on his BASEBALL cap an' entered a cafe in CA (Palo Alto mebbe?) with his son an' got ordered out b/c jooish. They called the cops on the guy an' y'know what? The cops KICKED out da JOO & his son. So all the keffiyeh wearin' joos won't last fer one minute once "found out"--already they ain't cuttin' slack fer anti-zionism alone. Haters goin' full defcon3 on Max Blumenthal fer NOT denyin' the holocaust as da holly-hoax. So turnin' on yer own....let's say them chicken's'll come home ta roost...
LOL re " I guess that gives the lie to the supposed Intelligence of the Jewish people. "
It do! Imho it's "book intelligence" (some sadly inDUCKtrinated in today's UNI-verse-itties.. like "one verse" for all...) combined with some kinda twisted inSTINKchewall desire ta fit in--ta preserve oneself by sidin' with the "winnin' team." (Today it's the cooler / younger team... Prager--bless him! looks too respectable... so side with the team that wants all joos dead... right... as Spock would say, Highly Illogical an' his character was based on the rabbis in his fambly lol!)
Ultimately... this won't bode well in the long run but a lotta joos got temporary acceptance this way... How much is that worth?! (there are more comin' around... I'll say that!)
Thank you for your courage and willingness to share your painful experiences at the hands of Islam. And thank you for your faith in Christ Jesus. You give us little folks hope in this world as Christ gives us hope for the next.
What clear thinking and writing, thank you Karen. This is the teaching the so called leaders need to read and act on. They are mostly cowards and liars themselves except maybe Victor Orban and JD Vance who believe in the Judeo-Christian faith. You have shone a light in these dark times. May God bless you.
I'm not religous in any way shape or form. However when your religion venerates it's founder as the "perfect man" when said perfect man was a narcissistic sociopath then the rest of us better beware.
Who else could it be ? If there is a God why would you choose an illiterate rapist/thief allround bad guy located in the arse end of nowhere as your messenger unless you were a bad guy yourself and knew how the arab mind works. I sometimes read that Mohammed didnt exist and he's a made up character - what does that say about the arab mindset that you'd invent a rapist/murdere/thief as your perfect man ?
Exactly. I was sort of making a joke. The whole thing is a perverse joke, absolutely insane, a perversion, the exact opposite of truth, forcing people to leave rational thought behind and believe in a nightmare. Satanic, in fact.
I read that it's forbidden ta say that Mohammed was a pedo marryin' a 9 year old... like everyone in Islam knows it but cain't say it?! (that's kinda Satanic too...also just horrible)
There is lots of food for thought in this piece, and the comments. My thinking is that as long as we stay grounded in the Bible, we are on firm ground.
I want to make a few observations, fyi. 9/11 was an inside (us) job. This has been known for a long time, but this knowledge has been suppressed. See Corbett Report as a first source if you want to learn more. Second, I don’t see that getting really angry about things that are very wrong accomplishes much. I prefer what I understand to be your father’s approach—resistance. Even quiet resistance.
Grounded in the Bible is how I was raised, thank God. Didn't always agree, still don't agree with everything my parents believed, but I did come to realize what really mattered. Anger is a wasted effort. As humans, it's inevitable that we will sometimes get angry. Let the emotion pass. Never act out in anger.
fwiw 911 did involve all 5 eyes includin' Saudis (pas of da fambly Bush). Corbett blames ISRAEL an' ONLY da joos ALONE. Really? Really. Israel duz not have DEWs but we do/did! Did Mossad have some hands-on involvement? I'm FULLY willin' ta believe it (in fact it's likely--an' notta source of pride lol) but ta blame ONLY da joos is absurd... Corbett gits away with it tho!
Yes, I should have made clear what you said here. I was focused on the topic I was writing about, not 9/11. Sometimes I think just mentioning 9/11 in the context of something else is too great a distraction from the actual subject matter.
" So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed in Him, " If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.'"(John 8: 31-32)
" Jesus answered them, ' Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever, the son does remain forever. So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. '" (John 8: 34-36)
Jesus said, " But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. " (John 14: 26-27)
Karen has spoken the truth by the power of God the Holy Spirit. The truth she has presented concerning Islam is true. Her father, Dave Hunt, wrote the book ' Judgement Day! Islam, Israel, and the Nations ' - Read his treatise if you doubt what Karen has written.
It's my prayer that God the Holy Spirit will open your (dear readers), eyes to the truth about who Jesus is. He is the Savior of ALL who believe in Him. He alone forgives our sins; and He alone gives us eternal life with Him. Faith alone, in Christ Jesus alone.
" Jesus said to him, ' I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.'" (John 14:6) Jesus offers the gift of eternal life, freely; the gift must be received by faith.
" For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. " ( Ephesians 2:8-9)
Karen, both of your Father's are smiling because of you; your testimony and love for THE TRUTH!
Folks don't realize that lying to non-believers is a tenant of this so called faith. As far as women are concerned, they are nothing more than chattel.
Thank you, Karen for further exposing Islam for what it really is... I've known most of this for sometime but it's great to get your up close and personal insights having lived in the Middle East.. a dangerous place for women as it has been for the last several thousand years.. I continue to be astonished at how so much of mankind remains in such a state of gross ignorance. There a good souls in Islamic communities but oh my goodness, the poor women there are are treated worse than cattle... You never hear of someone beating one of their cows to death in one of the Arab nations.. that doesn't happen. but tragically Arab women get beaten to death by their husbands pretty much on a weekly basis... 90% of which is kept on the down low... Christianity is not perfect, Hinduism is not perfect, Buddhism is not perfect, not one of those or any other major religion except Islam allows for, the murder of women, the beating of women by a husband routinely... even the beating of a female child to death if her father deems it justified... Barbaric absolutely undeniably Barbaric...
Now on the other hand, even though Israel has every right to defend itself I think the October 7 attack was probably facilitated by Netanyahu's team.. Israel's security system is the gold standard globally.. and to have it fail like it did..? With all those terrorists conveniently poised close by? I'm not buying it.. I personally think it was staged to give Netanyahu the excuse to crush the PFLP.. and Hamas, Hezbolla.. If as Netanyahu claims there's nothing to hide why did his previous defense minister resign primarily because he refused to investigate the failure..? Tragically this is just what nations do.. they kill many many of their own every year just to further their geopolitical agendas... Start unnecessary wars, that slaughter most of their own citizens in some cases...
What a world... the facts are it's always been this way.. which doesn't mean we are relieved of our duty to continue to educate and reduce suffering here as best we can...
I don't go into whether or not Netanyahu or the Israeli government or military or whomever knew about Oct 7th because it is all speculation. Some people say Israel actually orchestrated it, that's a big stretch, way too big for my reasoning. The one thing I DO know is that Hamas IS to blame because we have those facts. I DO know what the intent of Islamists is because they tell us very clearly so there is no speculation. Beyond that, I do not have any proof that the Israeli government knew. Horrible breaches of securities do happen, so it is also possible that they knew about the threat just as they must get thousands of such threats, they just didn't take is seriously enough but had become too complacent. Beyond that, I have no idea. Just as I have no idea about 9/11 or JFK's assassination for the same reasons. It's hard for me to imagine that 9/11 wasn't some sort of an inside job in some sort of a way, but again, I can only speculate. Somebody knows the answers to these questions, but it isn't me. What happens is that because they don't really know, people can be fed stories that fit with what they want to hear about a certain event and if they hear it repeated often enough, they begin to believe it's a fact, but it's just another form of indoctrination. So, I stay away from that as best I can.
Wow. I watched the video. He doesn't even try to give an explanation as to why enslavement of women is "not applicable" to the modern times. Thx for speaking out.
All if this is so true! I've started reading "Sword and Scimitar" by Raymond Ibrahim and yes, essentially Islam is just an extension of ancient, barbaric, Arabic tribal customs and infighting. I haven't got that far in the book and highly recommend it!
MOSQUES... I too always thought they were like churches & temples but NOPE they are not just religious buildin's --- they are property stakes, political "houses" an'--to my surprise--arsenals! YES!
yup, an' they built it "just in time" for 9/11 so I cannot imagine there were NOT Middle Eastern forces involved too...
The Vlad Tepes pieces are really jaw-droppin'--property values go down, once one is built--it cannot be moved as it's like a territory "stake"--folks cannot "reverse" their decision to "welcome" 'em in... an' even I had no idear... thought they were just like "any" houses of worship...
it's mind-blowin' ta think that young women are marchin' in the STREETS an' blockin' jooish students from gettin' ta their classes an' PAINT Bombin' DELIS to support a "religion" ('er cult, whatever ya call it) that would like ta enslave 'em--make 'em concubines, beat 'em... SO crazy...
IMHO an' in my upbringin' in judaism the MAMA an' the girls were always to be honored! Matriarchy is a thing in jooish homes (lol) tho both parents should of course be respected... Also, even our Orthodox have changed, allowed women to even become RABBIS! In Orthodox! Women kin now study talmud--this is good (btw)--
By contrast, I hear-tell that Islam stays the same--duz not change with the times or with new understandin's on rights an' livin' in more modern times.
Judaism's basic tenets and laws have stayed firmly--nay resolutely! the same--but women, whose role has always been one of highest honor, have seen judaism become much more "feminist" in the old-school best sense of the word, all fer the good.
If gob-smacks me that they call Judaism a "genocidal hateful evil" religion...oh an' "satanic" an' "pedophilic" too... (oy)... but then I hear this is a tactic where yer enemy accuses you of the crimes they themselves are guilty of! like sayin' DJT'll lock people up when it's literally the opposite (like the poor J6 patriots...) ANYWHOO..
I'll extrapolate on how us joos see women from a couple fine articles that 'splain it well...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The position of Judaism is that men and women are absolutely equal, with separate responsibilities.
Today more than ever women have been able to take on an expanded role as leaders within the faith and with these new responsibilities, as scholars too. The first leap was for women and girls to be invited to study torah, a movement which started in the early 20th Century with Bais Yaakov. Initially their scholarly access was somewhat limited to those areas considered more relevant to their lives and to their role in raising children, but eventually these limitations were lifted. It should be understood, too, that such changes came about with much thought and significant participation of leaders from all divisions of the faith, coming together in debate, in "congress" and in conferences.
Next came women being formally welcomed to study talmud, once forbidden to even non-scholarly Jewish men due to the seriousness of the endeavor. Ultimately women, who had already succeeded in becoming rabbis in the Reform and Conservative movements, were finally admitted to Orthodox rabbinical schools. (note: it's only the Ultra-Orthodox sects of Judaism that as yet doesn't have female rabbis--Daisy)
The Torah’s approach has always been that the woman is the single most highly valued person in the family. That’s why we call a home a “bayis” – which is a feminine noun. It’s the woman who makes the home. (...) In fact, according to Judaism, women are endowed with a greater degree of binah (intuition, understanding, intelligence) than men. Was it not our foremother Rivka – not her husband – who received divine prophecies about her children?
The Gemara (Yevamos 62a) states, “A man must treat his wife with the greatest respect, honoring her more than himself.”
Our holy Rabbi Akiva told his students, “All that I and you have achieved is due to my wife” (Kesubos 63a).
The Gemara (Niddah 45b) says that Hashem (G_d) gave greater powers of understanding to women than to men.
Tradition also teaches that women did not participate in the sin of the golden calf or that of the spies. (gosh, even I didn't know this! - Daisy)
Why then, did women initially play a smaller role in studying the holy texts? It's said that this is because women were already enlightened, recognizing the G-d-given differences between the sexes. The great Rabbi Shimon Schwab, zt”l, once noted that women can learn Shas all day long, yet it will accomplish very little in terms of their spiritual growth because they have already been endowed with the greatness Shas gives a person. It is not random that men – not women – commit 90 percent of all murders globally in the world. In Judaism, women are, simply put, possess a higher level of holiness than men.
~~~~~~~~~
My that's refreshin'! (I KNEW the generalities that women are "Queens" lol in a jooish home but ta see the quotes from rabbis & scripture is eye-openin'!)
So, it sounds like folks who say Islam is just like Judaism is just like Christianity... are just blatherin' as from all I'm learnin' 'bout Islam (in great part thanks ta you, Karen) is that this totally ain't the case at all!
Addin' too that chewish mamas are a THING (I'd say my Italian friends run a close second tho'!) In a jooish home you MUST honor yer mama (or else lol) an' in some fams honor means "treat them like a Queen!" an' guilt guilt guilt if ya fergit ta call. (I say this endearingly tho'!) Al Jolson sang about his Mama, so did Sophie Tucker. Joos have a LOT of songs about Mamas. Famous chewish stars even have sometimes well-known mothers because they are such matriarchs one must pay...tribute! (yup, it's kinda like tribute!) The Marx Bros.' Mama (also their manager, gig booker, first class "schtick reviewer") was celebrated in Minnie's Boys (a book, a show), Milton Berle's mother was famous for being "overly" involved in his career to the point that he LET HER approve every gal he dated--can ya imagine?! I know I know this is a bit nuts... joos don't always do things "small!" But lemme say it's a HUGE thing and I daresay "honor your Mother" might even come FIRST before "honor your Father" lol!
This doesn't sound much like the "peaceful" faith yer describin' ta me Karen... but the world seems to side with those "peaceful folks" an' they cheers fer BB (I don't even like 'im myself) to be arrested an' fer Israel to be DESTROYED are purdy loud now. Can we not keep the nation an'...'er... change leaders when things calm down? (Yes, but not in Israel becauase...joos)
It’s a fake cult, created my a pedophile, to give men authority over all. That’s it. Perfectly simple,really. If you are a man,you can do anything. And if you are a woman, child, goat,or any other beast, man is literally your owner/ master/ boss. It’s in the book. And stupid people been following that shit for 1600 years.

Check out Gad Saad's book The Parasitic Mind. On point. He has an excellent interview on Yasmine Mohammed's podcast.

So, I stay away from that as best I can.
Wow. I watched the video. He doesn't even try to give an explanation as to why enslavement of women is "not applicable" to the modern times. Thx for speaking out.
All if this is so true! I've started reading "Sword and Scimitar" by Raymond Ibrahim and yes, essentially Islam is just an extension of ancient, barbaric, Arabic tribal customs and infighting. I haven't got that far in the book and highly recommend it!
Yasmine is so wonderful. I'm so excited to listen to you wise women.
MOSQUES... I too always thought they were like churches & temples but NOPE they are not just religious buildin's --- they are property stakes, political "houses" an'--to my surprise--arsenals! YES!

so y'all might NOT want one in yer neib...
an' speakin' of 911 WHY did one crop up--a HUGE one right near the WTT in Manhattan? hmmm...
Yes, they are political tools, military tools, propaganda tools... Who can say: a HUGE one right near the WTT in Manhattan?
yup, an' they built it "just in time" for 9/11 so I cannot imagine there were NOT Middle Eastern forces involved too...
The Vlad Tepes pieces are really jaw-droppin'--property values go down, once one is built--it cannot be moved as it's like a territory "stake"--folks cannot "reverse" their decision to "welcome" 'em in... an' even I had no idear... thought they were just like "any" houses of worship...
it's mind-blowin' ta think that young women are marchin' in the STREETS an' blockin' jooish students from gettin' ta their classes an' PAINT Bombin' DELIS to support a "religion" ('er cult, whatever ya call it) that would like ta enslave 'em--make 'em concubines, beat 'em... SO crazy...
IMHO an' in my upbringin' in judaism the MAMA an' the girls were always to be honored! Matriarchy is a thing in jooish homes (lol) tho both parents should of course be respected... Also, even our Orthodox have changed, allowed women to even become RABBIS! In Orthodox! Women kin now study talmud--this is good (btw)--
By contrast, I hear-tell that Islam stays the same--duz not change with the times or with new understandin's on rights an' livin' in more modern times.
Judaism's basic tenets and laws have stayed firmly--nay resolutely! the same--but women, whose role has always been one of highest honor, have seen judaism become much more "feminist" in the old-school best sense of the word, all fer the good.
If gob-smacks me that they call Judaism a "genocidal hateful evil" religion...oh an' "satanic" an' "pedophilic" too... (oy)... but then I hear this is a tactic where yer enemy accuses you of the crimes they themselves are guilty of! like sayin' DJT'll lock people up when it's literally the opposite (like the poor J6 patriots...) ANYWHOO..
I'll extrapolate on how us joos see women from a couple fine articles that 'splain it well...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The position of Judaism is that men and women are absolutely equal, with separate responsibilities.
Today more than ever women have been able to take on an expanded role as leaders within the faith and with these new responsibilities, as scholars too. The first leap was for women and girls to be invited to study torah, a movement which started in the early 20th Century with Bais Yaakov. Initially their scholarly access was somewhat limited to those areas considered more relevant to their lives and to their role in raising children, but eventually these limitations were lifted. It should be understood, too, that such changes came about with much thought and significant participation of leaders from all divisions of the faith, coming together in debate, in "congress" and in conferences.
Next came women being formally welcomed to study talmud, once forbidden to even non-scholarly Jewish men due to the seriousness of the endeavor. Ultimately women, who had already succeeded in becoming rabbis in the Reform and Conservative movements, were finally admitted to Orthodox rabbinical schools. (note: it's only the Ultra-Orthodox sects of Judaism that as yet doesn't have female rabbis--Daisy)
The Torah’s approach has always been that the woman is the single most highly valued person in the family. That’s why we call a home a “bayis” – which is a feminine noun. It’s the woman who makes the home. (...) In fact, according to Judaism, women are endowed with a greater degree of binah (intuition, understanding, intelligence) than men. Was it not our foremother Rivka – not her husband – who received divine prophecies about her children?
The Gemara (Yevamos 62a) states, “A man must treat his wife with the greatest respect, honoring her more than himself.”
Our holy Rabbi Akiva told his students, “All that I and you have achieved is due to my wife” (Kesubos 63a).
The Gemara (Niddah 45b) says that Hashem (G_d) gave greater powers of understanding to women than to men.
Tradition also teaches that women did not participate in the sin of the golden calf or that of the spies. (gosh, even I didn't know this! - Daisy)
Why then, did women initially play a smaller role in studying the holy texts? It's said that this is because women were already enlightened, recognizing the G-d-given differences between the sexes. The great Rabbi Shimon Schwab, zt”l, once noted that women can learn Shas all day long, yet it will accomplish very little in terms of their spiritual growth because they have already been endowed with the greatness Shas gives a person. It is not random that men – not women – commit 90 percent of all murders globally in the world. In Judaism, women are, simply put, possess a higher level of holiness than men.

My that's refreshin'! (I KNEW the generalities that women are "Queens" lol in a jooish home but ta see the quotes from rabbis & scripture is eye-openin'!)
So, it sounds like folks who say Islam is just like Judaism is just like Christianity... are just blatherin' as from all I'm learnin' 'bout Islam (in great part thanks ta you, Karen) is that this totally ain't the case at all!
Addin' too that chewish mamas are a THING (I'd say my Italian friends run a close second tho'!) In a jooish home you MUST honor yer mama (or else lol) an' in some fams honor means "treat them like a Queen!" an' guilt guilt guilt if ya fergit ta call. (I say this endearingly tho'!) Al Jolson sang about his Mama, so did Sophie Tucker. Joos have a LOT of songs about Mamas. Famous chewish stars even have sometimes well-known mothers because they are such matriarchs one must pay...tribute! (yup, it's kinda like tribute!) The Marx Bros.' Mama (also their manager, gig booker, first class "schtick reviewer") was celebrated in Minnie's Boys (a book, a show), Milton Berle's mother was famous for being "overly" involved in his career to the point that he LET HER approve every gal he dated--can ya imagine?! I know I know this is a bit nuts... joos don't always do things "small!" But lemme say it's a HUGE thing and I daresay "honor your Mother" might even come FIRST before "honor your Father" lol!
This doesn't sound much like the "peaceful" faith yer describin' ta me Karen... but the world seems to side with those "peaceful folks" an' they cheers fer BB (I don't even like 'im myself) to be arrested an' fer Israel to be DESTROYED are purdy loud now. Can we not keep the nation an'...'er... change leaders when things calm down? (Yes, but not in Israel becauase...joos)
Thanks thanks fer all ya do/write Karen!
You're always a wealth of information. Judaism really does honor women, I always loved that about the religion, among other things.
It’s a fake cult, created my a pedophile, to give men authority over all. That’s it. Perfectly simple,really. If you are a man,you can do anything. And if you are a woman, child, goat,or any other beast, man is literally your owner/ master/ boss. It’s in the book. And stupid people been following that shit for 1600 years.
