Atlanta Jewish Times Owner Says Assassinate President Obama

YLooK — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 21:29:21 +0000

Andrew B. Adler, owner of the Atlanta Jewish Times writes that a Mossad led assassination of President Obama should be one of a number of options on the table for Israel in defence of the State’s interests.

In suggesting a number of military options Israel should consider in defending State interests, Adler writes:

“Three, give the go-ahead for U.S.-based Mossad agents to take out a president deemed unfriendly to Israel in order for the current vice-president to take his place, and forcefully dictate that the United States’ policy includes its helping the Jewish state obliterate its enemies.”

Mr. Adler’s monthly has a readership of a few thousand, mostly among Georgia’s Jewish establishment, but his article has garnered him unwelcome attention from around the world, including condemnations from progressive Jewish organizations. Not surprisingly, Adler has pulled the article, suggesting that the piece has been taken out of context.

An artist has no need to express his thought directly in his work for the latter to reflect its quality; it has even been said that the highest praise of God consists in the denial of Him by the atheist who finds creation so perfect that it can dispense with a creator.

The Grammarian and the Sailor

YLooK — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 07:10:56 +0000

An arrogant linguist boarded a ship. He asked the sailor, “O sailor, do you know any grammar?” When the other replied in the negative, he said with contempt, “What a pity-you have spent half of your life in vain.” This made the sailor sad, but he kept quiet. After a while, a terrible storm broke out and the ship began to sink. The sailor asked the now-frantic linguist, “O grammarian, do you know how to swim?” This time, the linguist replied in the negative. Then the sailor said “What a pity – for it means that you will lose your entire life!”

Islam has long history downtown: Why the ‘Ground Zero mosque’ belongs in lower Manhattan

YLooK — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 23:08:15 +0000

But no matter how offensive their presence may be to some people, Muslims have always been a part of lower Manhattan‘s past. In fact, Islam in New York began near Ground Zero. From an historical perspective, there could hardly be a better place for a mosque.

Imam Ghazzali (ra) on Music as an Aid to the Religious Life

YLooK — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 17:37:28 +0000

The heart of man has been so constituted by the Almighty that, like a flint, it contains a hidden fire which is evoked by music and harmony, and renders man beside himself with ecstasy. These harmonies are echoes of that higher world of beauty which we call the world of spirits; they remind man of his relationship to that world, and produce in him an emotion so deep and strange that he himself is powerless to explain it. The effect of music and dancing is deeper in proportion as the natures on which they act are simple and prone to emotion; they fan into a flame whatever love is already dormant in the heart, whether it be earthly and sensual, or divine and spiritual.

-Imam Ghazzali from “The Alchemy of Happiness”
