Bonus material: The invitation to the Iftar dinner was also sent to a Palestinian Christian email list I subscribe to -- always a good source of anti-Semitic material and bizarro conspiracy-thoeries -- sent out by Sameer Tuffaha of the Palestinian American Congress. The invitation is here. Like that map in the banner?
Say, where's Palestine, and where's Israel on that map?
I wonder, in the midst of this "peace tour," will anyone, particularly the Jewish groups involved, ask him about the PLO's charter? Like, for instance, their goal in Article 12: "Complete liberation of Palestine, and eradication of Zionist economic, political, military and cultural existence."
More bonus material [h/t to Miss Kelly for putting me on the trail of this]: Another email sent to the moderated MAS list contained a link to this site: The Quran Miracles Encyclopedia, specifically to this page -- at first glance just a site about Creationism from a Muslim perspective. Eh, OK...so what? Well, let's have a look around the site a little more and see what we find. There's this, on usury in the Koran:
...Many trusty writers drew our attention that the Jewish Emperors of money are the main reason behind the wars broken out last century, it were them who ignited the flames of those wars. Consequently, much blood was shed, and millions of money were squandered. All of this was in order for the Jewish money to grow and their power to increase...
...the Jews insist on dealing through usury and spreading it among people. Moreover, they are keen on teaching such a “profession” to their children in order to take hold of the money and hoard it in their safes...
A dose of replacement theology:
On a somewhat different note, the Allah fish and the Evil Eye make appearances.

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!
I wonder if there will be a contingent from PaleSWINE or the ISLAMOFASCIST Republic of Iran?
What the heck is oging on with the Irish-American Club in Malden? Last October, the Salah Soltan fund-raiser dinner. Now the PLO ambassador?
RE: Quoran Miracle Encyclopedia - you're just a click away on these sites. Finding the vitriol is usually just one or two clicks. Riots, attacks, threats, murder result from the Pope's quote last week. But talk about the mean, evil, dreadful, conspiring Jews? Standard stuff.
Say, where's Palestine, and where's Israel on that map?
Honestly, the Palestinian Christians who sent you that might want to consider the implications of that green Palestine, as well.
They're totally dhimmi-fide. Their salvation (so they think) is somewhere within pan-Arabism and Marxism (Liberation Theology).
