Understanding Islam in this age of Jewish Muslim Alliances

bs"d

Dear Journalists, Rabbis and Members of my list,

In light of the latest craze of Conservative and Reform Rabbis across America,(Orthodox Rabbis tend to be Silent and not take a stand) to foster Interfaith Dialogue between Jews and Muslims and promoting tolerance, moderation, diversity, and pluralism which is the active seeking of understanding across lines of difference,   I wish to present to you very enlightening articles. Please read the articles in their entirety.  They suggest a reality that differs 180 degrees from the reality presented to a clueless, naive, gullible and unknowing audience by the organizations listed below. Thank you. 

• Non-Muslim Muslims and the Jihad Against the West (2 pages long, please read entire article) A Muslim revealing the reality about Muslims and Islam.

• PMW Bulletins - PMW  gives the world a precise understanding of the reality of the Palestinian Authority by translating, monitoring and analyzing the Palestinian Authority through its media and schoolbooks.PMW has presented its findings before members of US Congress and to members of Parliament in numerous countries 

• Who Is Responsible for Muslim Violence?  We can reject their narrative and stand up to their violence.

Organizations promoting Interfaith Dialogue seeking and promoting an illusion of tolerance, moderation, diversity, and pluralism: 

_____________________________________________________

• Americans for Peace Now invents right wing violence, labels Knesset bills to limit funding to NGO's that hurts Israel as antidemocratic, promotes the boycott of  Israeli products based on false claim of Israel's occupation of the Palestinians, full of lies and distortions of Torah, history and fact
• Families of Abraham  presents Islam as a peaceful and tolerant religion when they are anything but (see above articles)
• The Pluralism Project assumes one can engage those out for Israel's destruction with actively seeking understanding in dialogue and communication.
• Clergy for Tolerance same as above
• ILJB Institute for Living Judaism in Brooklyn features Koran Events 
  is a mini-series of classes on Islam and Judaism. classes taught by Jewish and Muslim scholars will explore some common religious rituals of the two faiths, their origins, meaning, variations in observance, etc. They present themselves as pluralistic but in the one event I attended they had full control of who speaks in their audience and what is said at their events by not allowing freedom of an attendee to express oneself.  Questions are  submitted on index cards and presented by their moderator and not by the one with the questions. There is no way to respond in debate mode to lies and distortions presented by the panelists. 
• Global Jewish Muslim Alliance headed by Rabbi Marc Schneier, twins Mosques with Synagogues promoting an illusion of tolerance, moderation, diversity, and pluralism. Learn about the joint efforts to build a global movement of Jews and Muslims committed to communication, reconciliation and cooperation.This event kicks off the fourth Weekend of Twinning (Nov 18-20), an annual event in which mosques and synagogues, Jewish and Muslim students, young leadership and women's groups hold face-to-face encounters in cities around the globe to celebrate commonalities in the two faiths and undertake social action projects.Brief Biographies: Rabbi Marc Schneier is founding rabbi of the Hampton Synagogue and president of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding (FFEU).Imam Muhammad Shamsi Ali is spiritual leader of the Islamic Cultural Center of New York (96th Street Mosque), the largest and most influential mosque in New York City.Dr. Mehnaz Afridi is director of the Manhattan College Holocaust, Genocide and Interfaith Education Center.
