Immigration: Assimilation : Integration, Political Correctness, Multiculturalism, Traditional Values: Australia: A newcomer, (for example - myself to China - 9 years by 2011), comprehends the new facts and situations in the new environment, and learns to live within that society in conformity with what is expected of citizens within that society. I can never change the color of my skin or eyes, and nor can I change the appearance of my long nose so as to look Chinese, but I do for the most part, and in many different ways, demonstrate that I both understand the culture and accept it, and that I make every effort to be a part of it.
Australian Immigration: Should Muslims Assimilate?
We often hear people talk about 'assimilating and integrating'. The words are used in a variety of contexts, but here, I want to look at what these words mean in relation to 'Immigration'. In other words, what do we mean when we say that we want migrants to assimilate or integrate, and what do we mean when we accuse them of not assimilating or not integrating.
When I researched the words assimilation and assimilate in the Merriam Webster online Dictionary (http://www.m-w.com) I came up with the following:
Main Entry: assimilation
Function: noun 1 a : an act, process, or instance of assimilating b : the state of being assimilated
2 : the incorporation or conversion of nutrients into protoplasm that in animals follows digestion and absorption and in higher plants involves both photosynthesis and root absorption
3 : change of a sound in speech.....
4 : the process of receiving new facts or of responding to new situations in conformity with what is already available to consciousness
assimilate
1 a : to take in and utilize as nourishment : absorb into the system b : to take into the mind and thoroughly comprehend
2 a : to make similar b : to alter by assimilation c : to absorb into the culture or mores of a population or group
When I did a search of the thesaurus at Merriam Webster, I came up with the word "embody" and when I checked that word, came up with the following:
Entry Word: embody Function: verb
Text: 1 to make a part of a body or system Synonyms assimilate, incorporate, integrate Related Words amalgamate, blend, combine, commingle, fuse, intermingle, merge, mingle
2 to represent in visible form Synonyms epitomize, incarnate, manifest, materialize, personalize, personify, substantiate Related Words actualize, realize; symbolize; exemplify, illustrate
When I checked the dictionary again for the word 'integrate' I found the following:
Main Entry: integrate
Function: verb
Etymology: Latin integratus, past participle of integrare, from integr-, integer transitive verb
1 : to form, coordinate, or blend into a functioning or unified whole : UNITE
2 : to find the integral of (as a function or equation)
3 a : to unite with something else b : to incorporate into a larger unit
4 a : to end the segregation of and bring into equal membership in society or an organization b : DESEGREGATE intransitive verb : to become integrated
When I checked the Thesaurus for integrate, I found:
Entry Word: integrate Function: verb
Text: 1 to make a part of a body or system -- see EMBODY 1
2 to turn into a single mass that is more or less the same throughout -- see BLEND 1
What is Assimilation?
If you weave all the principle points of the definitions above, assimilation and integration are basically the same thing. When one has had time to understand the surrounding culture, to digest and absorb it's values, meanings and practices, then one is able to incorporate that culture into not only one's everyday activities, but one's very ways of perceiving things. That is to say, that the new 'worldview', fundamentally becomes your own.
A newcomer, (for example - myself to China - 9 years by 2011), comprehends the new facts and situations in the new environment, and learns to live within that society in conformity with what is expected of citizens within that society. I can never change the color of my skin or eyes, and nor can I change the appearance of my long nose so as to look Chinese, but I do for the most part, and in many different ways, demonstrate that I both understand the culture and accept it, and that I make every effort to be a part of it.
I do in fact blend into the society, and uniting with the locals, become part of their society. I do not choose, nor am I forced, to 'segregate'. Even though many other foreigners may choose to live their lives as foreigners in an Asian landscape, knowing full well that their intention is only to be here a short time, or that they are only here to 'profit' from the time, either financially or esthetically (sightseeing), I have made this country my own. Even though I am aware that I come from a vastly different culture, I am able to sufficiently adapt and demonstrate that I am glad to be 'one with this people'.
Of course, I don't have equal membership in this society, and even were it possible for me to become a citizen, I would from a legal perspective, be treated differently to the rest of society.
In 2004 I met a Chinese boy who had been studying in Australia for 4 years, who complained to me that his English had not improved in that time. Unfortunately for him, like the boy I met in 2006 who had studied for 3 years in Canada, he did not associate with the locals. His friends were Chinese, and so he spoke Chinese. He lived with Chinese, and so spoke Chinese. Some of his classmates were Chinese, so he stuck with them and spoke Chinese. How was it possible for him to learn Natural English, if he constantly segregated himself, denying himself the very thing he hoped to achieve?
Does Assimilation Mean Abandoning Your Own Culture?
As much as it might surprise foreigners, I still cook and eat traditional roast dinners; and as much as it might surprise Chinese, I do eat a variety of local Chinese dishes. And as much as it does surprise many foreigners and Chinese, I do not as a regular habit eat in fancy restaurants; I prefer the back street and somewhat shoddy looking 'common eating places'.
Although since coming to China I have learned to eat, and enjoy eating pork and chillies, I nevertheless still will not eat doufu (tofu), snakes, frogs, snails, or fish. (I learned to eat pork and chillies through desperation and losing 8 kilos.)
Despite spending a good amount of time in Chinese homes, I have not adopted the Chinese practice of throwing or spitting food on the floor, or spitting in the street; and as much as sometimes I wish I could stand on a street in broad daylight and urinate into a bush, my western value system simply won't let me.
As much as I prefer to run around my home wearing only underwear (or less), I have yet to learn to do what the boys at school do; walk down dormitory corridors in their underwear. I also haven't learned to wash myself on the footpath while wearing underwear, (something I see on a regular basis where I currently live).
There are always going to be those things which conflict with your upbringing no matter how you wish that they would not, and there are always those things that you will never ever agree to, no matter what. It is not an easy thing to fit into a foreign culture.
The secret to successful acceptance in the foreign community, is to at the very least, and as best you can, to appear to be and act like them. Of course, this is not always possible, because like the colour of my skin and eyes, and the size of my nose, there are some things that will mark you as different, and one of those things is religious clothing.
I remember talking with a Catholic nun many years ago, and asking her what she personally liked the best, out of all the changes that Vatican II initiated. She told me that given that nuns could thereafter appear less like nuns and more like women, the best thing for her was that she found herself being treated more like a women and less like an object of worship. She told me that she hated the way people would fawn over her as though she were some delicate flower. Changing her outward appearance had enabled her to blend in with society around her. Unfortunately, that is not always possible for some people.
Sticking Out Like a Sore Thumb!
Like Quakers, Hari Krishnas, Orthodox Jews, and other religious with a social culture made distinctive by it's clothing, Orthodox Muslims wear clothes that make them stick out like the proverbial sore thumb. It matters not what their reasons are for being distinctive in appearance, at the end of the day, the reasons for looking different have to do with their desire to look different, or the requirement upon them to look different.
As far as they might want to 'look' different or to stand out, I think that western society is well used to people who want to look different. Just look around you and see the kids with multi-colored hair, nose rings, nipple rings, partially shaved heads, and designer clothing that looks like it has been through a garbage disposal or two. Take a look at the way Goths dress, or for that matter the 'bikers'. Everyone wants to look different; to stand out. The religious person however dresses as he/she does for different reasons, most of which are cultural.
So why do we look at Muslims and their 'strange' dress sense, and automatically fear them? I guess it would be for the same reason that we fear 'bikers' wearing their distinctive clothes, looking half shaved, and wearing big fancy boots. We fear the reputation of the image. I'm pretty sure that the politically correct would be pretty outraged at seeing the gay male school teacher turn up to class wearing lipstick, fishnet stockings and high heels. Of course we would just say it is an inappropriate form of dress for the occasion, but let's face facts; in that situation the image would scare us!
I find it funny in a PC world that promotes and puts such emphasis on 'Evolution' and 'mother nature', that Political Correctness itself completely ignores not just human 'nature', but what 'mother nature' demonstrates on a day to day basis. Different groups even within the same species fear each other, and that in every social group, there will be those who are 'cast out', because for one reason or another, they don't fit in. As some are quick to point out, in nature, 'homosexuality' is evident in the animal kingdom and therefore it is natural, normal and acceptable.
But from nature we can make another observation, that the 'norm' when an outsider tries to enter a group, is for that outsider to be attacked and even killed. For a society that talks about instinct, genetic memory, and being the products of evolution, it is strange to realise that the PC think that one can just 'legislate' away our animal instincts and 'natural' prejudices. Tell me why it is that in a room full of people, the 12 month old Chinese child will stare at the foreigner (me) and burst into tears? (I know - cause I'm butt ugly!) People who look different are both noticed and feared, which I guess is what 'Birds of a feather flock together' really means. Xenophobia may today be accepted as indicative of racism, but in mother nature, it is the 'norm'.
But just because we have fear or discomfort in the presence of someone alien to us, does not mean that we can't work our way through that fear and discomfort using our 'mother nature' provided intelligence. Intelligence however, is not an instinct, and interestingly enough, it is observable in human beings, as it is indeed in all the animal kingdom, that when faced with a crisis, (a time of panic), most humans and animals resort to the 'fight or flight' syndrome, by which I mean only that we tend to take refuge in or resort to, animal instinct.
We in the West have grown used to the 'different' peoples that join us, so the question must be asked, why is it that today, both 'we' and the Muslims within our societies, are living in fear and distrust of each other? The answer is not found in that pat and BS answer provided by Political Correctness, it is to be found in nature - 'Instinctive Self Preservation'.
Why are we especially afraid of Muslims?
From the perspective of those who, like myself, object to both political correctness and it's offspring 'Multiculturalism', the answer to the question is generally expressed as: 'Because they want us to change our culture; Why should we change our culture to suit them?' And this is a fair criticism.
The problem with this criticism however, is that when you really look into it, the Muslims are not the ones (or at least not the ones who initiated it), who insist that we must change our culture to suit them. It is the Multicultural Political Correctness thought police who insist on that. In their attempt to overthrow traditional society, they insist that our culture is worthless, and that we must accommodate everyone else's culture. What? You don't believe me? Well Read on!
If the world was supposed to run the way the PC deceivers claim, then we wouldn't have situations like banning nativity scenes at Christmas, whilst permitting Ramadan Marches or celebrations of Buddha's birthday (Southbank Brisbane was turned over to that for one week some years ago). We would not be (as they are in America) providing rooms for Muslim prayers at work, whilst banning the Bible from Schools and hospitals, and trying to ban prayers from the Military or Government places. Nor would we be banning the Religious Pastoral Worker, from praying with sick people in Hospitals.
If there is one thing that is so evident in the behaviour of the Multicultural Political Correctness Activists, it is that they are liars, deceivers and hypocrites. But even this hypocrisy is not the real reason why people are afraid of Muslims. As I said in the previous section, the true answer is to be found in 'mother nature' herself - 'fear and self preservation'.
Evolution teaches us that 'only the strong survive'; and the PC hypocrites are teaching us that we must give up our strength. More than that, they teach us that we have no right to procreate in our own image. From politics to Education, 'our' traditions, 'our' values, 'our' morals and 'our' religion are under attack from the so called 'non discriminatory', equal opportunity and apparently humanitarian liars, who are doing their best to prevent us from propagating in our own image, and who everywhere are telling the youngest generations to throw off the values of their forebears.
If this were not bad enough as it is, the icing on the cake as to why people are afraid of Muslims, is that 'orthodox and fundamentalistic societies', must not assimilate if they are to survive, and what we are witnessing in the world today, is whole Muslim societies 'controlled' by powers that want nothing more than to destroy us. In any hierarchical and obedient society that is ruled from the top down, the will of the leaders will ultimately be carried out by the even the lowest on the ladder. We know that, and it makes us afraid.
PC liars will now want to say; 'But not all Muslims are the same', and that is true. But once again, as we are seeing in different places, those Muslims who will not bend the knee to the Islamic powers that be, will be destroyed as if they were not Muslims at all. To say that Shi'ites are not the same as Sunnis and not the same as Sufi's, is only to highlight the fact that whichever power faction eventually takes control, those who are not by nature or inheritance a part of that faction, will have to 'opt out' and become as one of us, or 'opt in' and become as one of them. Nowhere is this better demonstrated than in the recent civil war between Hamas and Fatah in Gaza.
The real reason people in Australia and America fear Muslims at home, is that between the Multiculturalistic Political Correctness deception, and those Islamofacists trying to conquer the world, there is no place for our traditions, our values, our cultures, or our own religions in our own countries.
And I would go a step further and state: 'Were it not for the thought police and the hypocrisy of the politically correct, most Australians would never connect the wars in the middle east with the Muslims at home.' We had the Serbs and Croats going at it some time back, and we were not impressed, but we didn't turn on Muslims. We had Catholics and Protestants going at it in Ireland, but we did not have a war here between Catholics and Protestants.
We have always accepted that those who come to Australia, have left their baggage behind; and we as a nation, are not interested in that baggage no matter who you are. But the PC anarchists have actually succeeded in dragging the events of the Middle East into Australia. It is they who have created the division in society. It is they who have in all but word said: "Australian tradition and culture is nothing - convert!" In fact I remember years ago some alleged 'prominent person' actually writing in the press that they were ashamed of the fact that 'we Australians have no culture'.
We do have our own culture, but that culture is a mixed bag of nuts, as it must be when mixed marriages produced offspring. But when we see Orthodox groups who remain distinct and separate, how do we feel? Is it reasonable to resent them? Is it reasonable to ask them to 'assimilate'?
Those who can't assimilate.
Yesterday I published an article at Kingscalendar entitled: Assimilation : Destroyer of Miracles by Steven Shamrak which was about the problem that Judaism faces because of Jewish assimilation. The bottom line to the article is that Jews must retain their Jewish identity, promote Jewish life, and prevent cross cultural marriages. In fact, I support this view.
There are many people who cannot assimilate if their religion or cultural identity is to be retained. Frankly, I find nothing wrong with various religious and cultural groups maintaining their own distinct cultures. But there is a big difference between 'maintaining your religious culture' and demanding that your adopted country change to suit you. Again I caution, that it is the PC hypocrites who have been promoting this crap, not the ethnic or religious communities. It must be admitted however, that like so many Non Muslims in society, some Muslims now look to be offended by and to exploit, every situation to their own advantage and in the process, fail to realise that 'we the people' are sick and tired of being told that we are racist because we want to hang onto our own culture.
There is also a big difference between 'maintaining your religious culture', and living a 'them and us' mentality. Under normal circumstances, and this must have been the case in the past, Muslim communities lived alongside non Muslim communities. People knew each other, and as far as religious regulations permitted, mingled with each other. The Aussies got to know and accept the differences to be found in their Muslim neighbours, and the Muslims got to know and accept the differences to be found in their non Muslim neighbours.
Unfortunately today, as I have already written, Muslims themselves are under more and more pressure to 'segregate'. It may not be so obvious in Australia, but you only have to read various accounts on the internet, to see that there is great pressure on the various sects of Muslims throughout the world, to toe the line of the Islamic powers that be. And it is those same powers, as represented in various Middle Eastern Countries, who are now gunning not just for Jews, but for Christians.
Traditionally in Muslim countries, Muslim, Jew and Christian co-existed and survived together. Today, that is not the stated aims of the Islamofacists. And that is why today, so many people fear Muslims. They fear the reputation of the image. To be different is to cause 'natural instincts' to arise and manifest as fear. To be Muslim, is to stand before people who can read for themselves what the Islamofacists write. We know that to be a non Muslim is to be an infidel, and to be an infidel is to be less than a dog.
All the monotheistic religions have this doctrine. We and we alone are God's children and we are the only ones with the truth and the only ones going to Heaven. That is not what people fear. What they fear is what the Christian believers feared during the Inquisition. It is what the Northern Irish feared. It is that mortal men are not waiting for you to be judged after death, but that they want to give you an assist to get to judgement more quickly.
August 23rd Update Insert: According to an article in the Couriermail Online Edition - there are only 300,000 Muslims in Australia. That the fear of Muslims is disproportionate to their total population demonstrates how seriously the rest of the population subconsciously fears the Islamofacists. This fear cannot be legislated away.
Apart from the 'religious in ministry', Christians in the West do not wear clothes that mark them in public. Many Jews and Moslems likewise cannot be identified by dress. Orthodox however, are identifiable. They are maintaining their culture, as is their right. We non Muslims must respect that, even as we demand their respect to allow us to live 'non Muslim' lifestyles. We can be friends with people who do not share our values or lifestyles or our dress sense, but it does take two to do the tango.
Today we live in a world of competing ideologies, and inherently, ideologues care for nothing but their ideologies; they are fundamentalists! Those Politically Correct Multicultural Thought Police who are constantly heaping accusations and guilt upon the majority of Australians, do not care for truth, reality or patriotism. They only care about their agendas, and they will work any angle, tell any lie, and practice any deception, in their efforts to gain power over your mind and your actions.
I have lived in China for four and a half years, and in that time I have seen and heard first hand how effective propaganda works. In China however, propaganda is designed to promote social harmony. The Multicultural Activists however, are not interested in Social Harmony. Their lie is that they fight for unity and equality, but where the rubber hits the road, you can see the skid marks that tell a different story. (Footnote 1)
It is time that 'we the people' told the PC hypocrites to stick their guilt trips where the sun don't shine.
It's time to let people pray in hospital if they want. It's time to allow people to have their own beliefs and lifestyles, even if 'we' don't approve. It's time to stop letting 'social engineers' tell us what we can and cannot think! It's time to stop feeling like Racists simply because we are white or were born in Australia. It's time to stop being manipulated by media and activist groups.
It's time to stop feeling guilty! It's time to stop feeling guilty because we are concerned about our traditions and culture. It's time to stop feeling guilty because we like Australian Culture. It's time to stop feeling guilty because we don't like Vegemite or Advance Australia Fair It's time to stop feeling guilty because we like Christmas. It's time to stop feeling guilty because we don't think marriage rites/rights should be granted to Gays. It's time to stop feeling guilty because we don't like Sydney's Gay Mardi Gras It's time to stop feeling guilty because we want our kids to grow up with our 'own' values. It's time to stop feeling guilty because we want to read the Bible. It's time to stop feeling guilty because we want to pray. It's time to stop feeling guilty because we like to smoke It's time to stop feeling guilty because we like to have a beer It's time to stop feeling guilty because we don't like mixing with different people with different customs. It's time to stop feeling guilty because we don't like all the bloodletting in the Middle East. It's time to stop feeling guilty because we don't support terrorists It's time to stop feeling guilty because we were born in Australia It's time to stop feeling guilty because we were born white It's time to stop feeling guilty because people in the past killed Aboriginals. It's time to stop feeling guilty because we don't have a gay, black, Jewish/Muslim, handicapped Friend. It's time to stop feeling guilty because our Government makes decisions that some people don't like. It's time to stop feeling guilty because we voted for a particular party. It's time to stop feeling guilty because we don't dump on George Bush It's time to stop feeling guilty because we worry about the security of our nation. It's time to stop feeling guilty because we speak the truth when people ask us a question. It's time to stop feeling guilty because we can't say what we truly think. It's time to stop feeling guilty!
It's time to stop feeling guilty!
Let's put a stop to all this guilt and division in our nation
because a bunch of hypocrites and deceivers keep telling us
that if we don't think what they think then the world will hate us.
Let's respect and keep the Muslims and toss out the Thought Police.
Let's give every politician the boot,
who kowtows to sectarian interests before the welfare of Australia.
Let's respect every religion and religious person and non religious person in our country.
Let's not be blind sided
by those who want to make us feel guilty
because we want this country to remain free!
It's Time to be Australian
Let's give 'em a fair go!
Let's look out for the little guy!
Let's love our sunburnt country!
Let's not crap where we eat!
Let's blend into a functioning or unified whole : UNITE
Let's take into the mind and thoroughly comprehend
We are Australians! - First and Foremost!
The following is an unpaid political announcement on behalf of the
'We're tired of all the Guilt Trips Party!'
Vote ** NO ** to Guilt Trips
Vote ** YES ** to Australian values!
Vote ** YES ** to providing a home for the stranger

Vote ** NO ** to Politicians whose first concern is appeasement
Vote ** YES ** to Politicians who protect our Values

Vote ** NO ** to Activist Agitators!
(Footnote 1)
Political Correctness properly applied is supposed to foster harmony in society, instead it has turned into a weapon to be used against anyone we do not like or appreciate, and those we downright hate. Political correctness when used by 'thought police' is a weapon that they wield to raise their own status and power. At no time in the last hundred years was this better demonstrated in China, than during the cultural revolution.
It never ceases to amaze me that so many of those who spend their lives 'learning to be like Jesus', fail to realise that they more resemble Pharisees than Jesus himself. Instead of kicking over the money changer's table, they heap more money on it. Instead of weeping for the 'rich man' who turned and walked away from Jesus, they scream after him condemning him to the fires of hell. Instead of shining their light to light the way for the lost, they shine the damn torch right in their bloody eyes and blind them, causing the poor hapless sod to close his eyes and walk right off the edge of the road. And you guessed it, the same goes for all those activists who rip into everyone and everything with which they disagree.
The common element within these explanations of those jokes, is that people often get so caught up in themselves and their cause, that they don't take the time to see life from any perspective other than their cause. So many people are pushing their causes, mastering their craft, and letting no one get in their way, that they forget to be human. They forget that they too cause offense. They don't realise that they have left the joy of living behind. They are ignorant of the fact that what they are doing only enables them to communicate with a small percentage of the population. In short, they never take time out to examine or to enjoy the details of their journey.
MIGRANTS will need to learn English and endorse the values of mateship and a fair go in order to become Australian citizens under a tough new test.
The values, written mostly by Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews and Prime Minister John Howard
It describes Australia as "a nation at ease with the world and itself", but it expects potential citizens to respect Australia's core values.
"Australian citizenship provides for an overriding commitment to Australia," the pamphlet says.
The 10 Australian values focus on "mateship and a fair go", including tolerance and mutual respect and compassion for those in need, dignity and freedom of the individual and the freedom of speech.
Other values include the freedom of religion and secular government, freedom of association, support for parliamentary democracy and the rule of law, equality under the law, equality of men and women, equality of opportunity and peacefulness.
"On the whole, Australians support the principle of live and let live," the pamphlet says.
BenDedek's Comment
I wonder how long it will be before the activists condemn these values as being discriminatory toward immigrants. In the meantime, note that all citizens should respect Australia's core values - read - 'Traditional Values'. They should be committed to Australia, not an agenda, cause, or foreign country or religion. They should tolerate people that they disagree with and respect them. Individuals have the right to free speech, because we grant people that freedom because we think personal dignity is important. We believe that Christians, like everyone else, have a right to be religious. And in case the feminazis have forgotten it, men and women have a right to be equal, and to be equally treated - perhaps the divorce court judges could remember this. In Australia, we believe in 'live and let live'. This means we don't spend our days with our noses in everyone's business trying to find something that we can use against them in our efforts to build up for ourselves some 'self righteous self-image'. Thank You John Howard.
Re: Fort Hood Massacre I invite readers to think about the educators of our "politically correct" or non-judgmental media, because the core of the problem consists not in cowardly or obfuscating journalists but rather the universities that educated them.
We boast of these universities, even though they produce so many moral idiots. I mean men and women stultified by the academic doctrine of moral or cultural relativism. Because it is this doctrine that prompts "politically correct" fools to hire Muslims to serve on US military bases.
The social engineering of society, to accommodate 'ideological agendas' which sound so great, usually fall victim to 'The Law of Unintended Consequences'.
But when the 'rights' of ideologues, social engineers and political activists start impinging on our personal and traditional identity; which is to say, 'our national culture', then it is time to sit back and say 'enough!
We really do need to pay more attention to how our own minds operate, and how we are both consciously and subconsciously effected by Media Propaganda.
It's very easy to 'take sides' in an issue, and it is very easy to be persuaded of a cause, but at the end of the day, unless it is our specific purpose to blind ourselves to the truth, it is encumbent upon us to do our best to look at every situation from as many persepectives as possible...to make sure that we are not 'obsessive and compulsive' in our political and social judgements.
Is it possible that we and our kids are living in a state of 'stupor', controlled by external forces that seek to mould us to their wills? Does the media and do the Universities engineer what we think? Do they try to cast a spell over our minds and our thoughts?
Humankind (I'm afraid to write 'mankind') loves and admires charasmatic speakers and leaders, and naturally we expect students to 'look up to' their teachers. What happens when those leaders and teachers are not worthy of honour, or are teaching that which is contrary to our own (family/ social/ cultural or traditional) culture?
Political Correctness is ultimately a game where the one who is speaking is free to speak, and anyone who speaks against him/her is in the wrong, unless of course what you are saying, has the support of the majority of the 'socio-political' elites. In truth, Free Speech is a Myth
Note on Abuse:
All forms of abuse are serious, but the least recognised is Emotional Abuse. In the Article entitled: Emotional Abuse and Female Emotional Abusers this issue is examined. It touches upon Religious abuse, Political Activist abuse, Feminist Abuse, Child abuse, and Men who are abused by women.
"Today, many understand that the 'two states' slogan is a lie. The public is ready for the alternative: the application of Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria." Geulah Cohen negated the fear raised in certain circles of the response by the world, primarily the United States. "When I initiated the Jerusalem and Golan Law, it was threatened that the sun would not rise the next day. With G-d's help, the sun continues to rise, the skies didn't fall, and so it will be, with G-d's help, when Israel will apply its sovereignty over Judea and Samaria."
A young woman, Naomi Oni 20, was facially disfigured and almost lost her eyesight in a horrific unprovoked acid attack on the streets of London. She was on her way home from work when an unknown attacker dressed in a niqab threw a chemical substance at her, leaving the retail assistant with severe burns on her head, neck, arms, legs and body..... Hamas denied that its leader, Khaled Mashaal, had declared his acceptance of the two-state solution (reported by a Saudi-owned newspaper). "These claims are baseless," said Izzat al-Risheq, a senior Hamas official. " We will never agree to give the Zionist state one inch of the land of Palestine." (Enemies of the Jewish state lie but the international anti-Semites do not question their genocidal intentions!)
This was in no way any different to the way the church in Bayern (Bavaria) was able to get its people to support Adolf Hitler's NAZI PARTY in the 1930's. So, history is actually repeating itself in Kebec, which already took place in Germany during the Nazi era, and that is exactly where Kebec is today. The final destruction of Kebecois society like that of Germany will not come from the outside, but will come from within.
A key portion of the meeting was White House Domestic Policy Council (DPC) Director Cecilia Munoz outlining President Obama's overall immigration reform proposal that includes creating a pathway to citizenship for up to 11-million illegal aliens. In my discussion with the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Safety and Border Security, I mentioned that a potential "State of State Emergency" might be unfolding, and deliberate steps might have to be taken by the State of Arizona to protect its' own sovereignty and welfare."
Definition: King's Calendar Chronological Research
The Premise: Between the 5th and 3rd centuries BCE (but continuing down to at least 104 BCE), Sectarian redactors transcribed the legitimate 'solar year' chronological records of Israel and Judah, into an artificial form, with listed years as each comprised of 12 months of 4 weeks of 7 days, or 336 days per year, thus creating a 13th artificial year where 12 solar years existed.
When the Synchronous Chronological Data provided in the Books of Kings and Chronicles for the Divided Kingdom Period are measured in years of 336 days, the synchronisms actually align. [Refer to Appendix 5. to see how it synchronises the Divided Kingdom Period]

Whilst there have been many attempts to solve the chronological riddle of the Bible's synchronisms of reigns of the kings of Israel and Judah and their synchronism with other Ancient Near Eastern Nations, no other research is based on a simple mathematical formula which could, if it is incorrect, be disproved easily. To date, no one has been able to dismiss the mathematical results of this research.
Free to air Academic articles set forth Apologetics for and results of his discovery of an "artificial chronological scheme" running through the Bible, Josephus, the Damascus Documents of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Seder Olam Rabbah.
During the current economic downturn, this book has been drastically reduced in price but will eventually rise as the economy improves.
