But when you read about their struggle and suffering it becomes easier to renew your commitment to the cause. Maybe we are only doing a very little, but maybe if it is helping save one life, somewhere sometime somehow, it's still worth it. <BR/><BR/>Even if this is notion is not convincing, have a look at that link for the fascinating detail that bum pinching of women on pilgrimage to Mecca is common when they round the Kaaba. (Learning about Islam just gets weirder and ... perhaps this is why some people don't have time to learn about it?)<BR/><BR/>As Charles says, keep in touch!<BR/><BR/>truepeersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25624602.post-54508521986173082332007-03-15T22:37:00.000-07:002007-03-15T22:37:00.000-07:00standfortruth, can you communicate with me via ema...standfortruth, <BR/>can you communicate with me via email?

We started in Sept.2006. <BR/><BR/>We wrote numerous letters to the editor. We held signs at the schools and passed out tracts with the truth about Mohammad. We financed two showings of What The West Needs To Know About Islam and a total of 5 people showed up! <BR/><BR/>We started a blog to rebut the textbook's lies and we are almost finished. The lack of interest is pathetic. At least no one can say we didnt' warn them.<BR/><BR/>Hope your group is more successful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25624602.post-70446852706449078622007-03-15T17:51:00.000-07:002007-03-15T17:51:00.000-07:00Zazie, I thank you as well.

I went to catholic schools, so we received much more european and canadian history than my friends in public schools did, but even that was minor indeed compared to what my parents used to tell me had made up their elementary and high school curriculum. They even had latin! I would have loved to learn latin... I envy those who can. <BR/><BR/>The manner in which history is being taught today, not just here but around the western world, is appalling. We are teaching nothing less than amnesia and guilt. And history is not taught as a story, so that it can be made interesting to the young; it's taught as a memorized list of names and dates, treaties and titles. That approach is guaranteed to turn them off the subject, and never pursue further learning on their own, as was my good fortune to do.Charles Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18168475254263681673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25624602.post-57267961149168488692007-03-15T13:07:00.000-07:002007-03-15T13:07:00.000-07:00Thanks Zazie.

I'm still not sure whether I understand religious Islam, or if there is really much to it to understand in comparison to the political. There seems to be little if any theology in a religion that declares God absolutely other, completely unknowable, his will unpredictable. It seems to make men both highly fatalistic and willful. <BR/><BR/>Wearing a blue scarf, on the other <BR/>hand, while a political symbol, is also a reminder, I believe, of the covenants in the Judeo-Christian Bible, of a partnership between God and men. We can have a serious theology because we are allowed/allow ourselves ongoing historical revelations into what we are, and thus some insight into the mystery of a God who is both a person and other.truepeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401984575637492845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25624602.post-36531681991097533922007-03-15T10:29:00.000-07:002007-03-15T10:29:00.000-07:00I have read your post...How I wish I lived in Cana...I have read your post...How I wish I lived in Canada ! I could then join you, even it it meant flying over to Vancouver . As I am in France, I can only promise two things : first I will think of you every thursday, starting today ; then I'll buy myself a blue scarf and explain my wearing it to those who will ask ; it might be a way to start something in my tiny "town" !<BR/> Something else I wanted to tell you : yesterday, I talked with a 15-year old girl about a text she was studying in English..She had to explain why Columbus applied to Isabelle la Catholique for the funds necessary to his going to "the Indies"..Of course, she first said that he had started to America ! But the worst came when she showed by her answers that she had NEVER heard of the Reconquista over the Moors ; anyway, she did not know the word "moor". That is the sort of teaching she is given in a "good" school ; "pauvre France"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
