The Truth Perspective: Match Made in Heaven: The Surprising Similarities Between Radical Islam and Talmudic Judaism

What is the only way to demonstrate one's faith in the God's complete power over the fate and destiny of humans? Under what conditions is it permitted to let a non-Jew die, or to kill unarmed civilians in warfare? These are the kinds of questions asked and answered by the theologians and ideologues of the more radical forms of Islam and Judaism. But the reasoning by which the answers are found, and the assumptions about human nature that determine the answers, say more about the individuals doing the reasoning than they do about the ideologies themselves.

Today on the Truth Perspective we continue our look at the work of Shiraz Maher on Salafi-Jihadism, the ideology behind groups like ISIS and al-Nusra, and introduce the work of Israel Shahak, author of Jewish History, Jewish Religion, on how the modern state of Israel has been shaped by the ideology of classical Judaism. While diametrically opposed in some ways, the two religious ideologies share much in common, specifically a peculiar view of human nature and a doctrinaire, legalistic mode of reasoning and enforcement of religious rules.

Don't need to even compare those.

All religions are fill of crap including modern day new age and spiritual ones.

None of them have proof... They depend on the faith of someone who claims to have seen X or Y.

If higher realms were really true, it wouldn't need to be funneled through some one else like a prophet or some channeler.

Yes, so true. However dig a little deeper and you'll find that ALL roads lead right back to Rome, the Jesuits and Freemasonry! Masters of MASS Deception are all sadistic Whores 4 War R US. Disguised in cloaks, robes and A'authoritative costumes' only pretending to be Hero's for Humanity, when in fact they're Satanic, Parasitic Predators hell bent on controlling and destroying humanity and ANY Civilized Societies! Those that support these pussies in Prada and Hugo Boss for a lousy paycheck are idiots for ongoing criminal insanity and should be deeply ashamed of themselves for an ETERNITY!

"Some may call it Communism, but I call it what it is; Judaism"

Rabbi Steven Wise (The American Bulletin, May 5, 1935)

Considering that it was Judaism that spawned both Christianity and Islam, it's no surprise the trail leads back to the original.

Amerikagulag Insightful comment, thanks. I remember reading that Napoleon took an interest in Islam at the time of and after the Egyptian campaign. He noted that it made a good fit with Republicanism. It will be interesting to see if that thought can make progress in France today.

Amerikagulag Classical Judaism, which we discussed on the show and which bears only a passing resemblance to Biblical Judaism, was developed AFTER Christianity.

TBoris · 2019-02-28T15:44:20Z

hkoehli That makes sense to me too...Christianity came before Judaism. The term Judaism (along with following the oral law of the Rabbi) was created by the Pharisees much later who are fingered to be the most likely suspect in the death of the Jesus character in the new testament (from my reading). The Pharisess though appear to be a sect that originated from Babylonian times.

Both Religions won't eat pork, they both have Friday as their Holy Day, Odd isn't it.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as “bad luck.” Robert A. Heinlein

What comes to mind with these isms which seem to slip us into totalitarianism, is they have forgotten what it is to be human. Our mentor use to say that 666 indicated the 666th chapter of the Bible which is Ecclesiastes 7 and which is all about vanity, thinking we know the truth of things and what to do about them, when we have not a clue truly in the sense we do not have a high vantage point to know. This is why JeSus' Perfect Pattern of always following the Will of His Father in Heaven made such sense. The Father always knows what to do because He can see Time as All One, in the Hearts of Men, and He knows the Reason of Things. Partaking of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, is to think we know best what to do on our own guidance, which was Adams fall from grace, which he blamed on Eve, which is also a lie. The men are responsible for what their women do.

At the end of Chapter 7 it states, "Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account: Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have souight out many inventions." Of course, the inventions of the Salafis and the Orthodox Jews is that they have the truth. The Ten Commandments say "thou shall not kill." and "Thou shall not steal." Not that it is okay to do it because you are a Jew or a Salafi.

The Reason Solomon could find no woman is because the women cannot be women unless the men are men and the men can only be men when they have God's guidance.

As Lewis Black put it "these people watch the Flinstones as if it were a documentary."

Nobody knows what life is all about. We all pretend to know mostly by means of referrencing something way in the past or in the sky that nobody can ever verify. Life is a joke at best.

If you remove Politics from life, what would remain? We Live, we love, we hate. For all of time.
