“Trash Videos”
On the contrary, the videos of Rabbi Mordechai Friedman
and Pastor Gino Jennings have everything to do with this
particular “news brief”. The above written text goes into
great detail about an Arabic video handed to someone.
“One need not understand Arabic to appreciate the intensity
of Nihari’s hate: watch the video starting at minute 2:15 and
see the gesticulating cleric issue his curse while striking the
floor with a stick, hurling a picture, and banging on the wall.”

“The Angry Rabbi”
HC, I take seriously any extremist, whether they are secular

rabbi you will see some of the shining stars of the ultra right
orthodox community, eg Meir Kahane and Baruch Goldstein.

Dear Jesus,

Flood our souls with Your spirit and life.

“What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep,

the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go to seek that
which is gone astray? And if it so be that he find it:
Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than

it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven,
that one of these little ones should perish.”

What is particularly egregious about Jack Chick's pamphlet is that it questions the loyalties of American citizens - many of whom laid down their lives in World Wars I & II.

It is well to remember that in the early church communion
was received on the palm of the right hand and never in
the palm of the left hand which was used for toiletry.
The laity was never permitted to touch the communion
with their fingers and was only permitted to consume
Holy Communion from the palm of their right hand.
A woman could not receive Holy Communion directly
