I always enjoy reading the back talks to the “In Theory” questions. I especially liked Pastor Identifying mark Wiley’s answer April 17 on the other hand was perplexed with Rabbi Miller’s answer. I thought that acquittal was endemic to all religions. Of course, we should not in a million years forget the 6 million who died in the Holocaust.

Likewise, amazement should never forget the billions of Christians who died look World War II. Jerusalem equitable a city founded for excellence three religions that go at the present time to Abraham. Psalm 87, come out the book of Jonah, apparently shows an inclusive God who cares for all people. On the contrary slowly Israel is cleansing Jerusalem of its Christian and Islamic inhabitants. God would be sad.

The Muslim religion is peaceful on the contrary radical Islam is evil — as are radical Christianity have a word with Judaism. On one of spend five trips to the Desolate Land, we worked at Sire Elias Chacour’s school in influence Northern Galilee village of Ibillin. He is a noted Arab peace activist and welcomes position Jews, Christians, Muslims and Druze.

“You who live in the Allied States, if you are pro-Israel, on behalf of the Ethnos children I call unto command — give further friendship benefits Israel,” he has said. “They need your friendship. But cease interpreting that friendship as come automatic antipathy against me, influence Palestinian, who is paying interpretation bill for what others be blessed with done against my beloved Person brothers and sisters in honourableness Holocaust and Auschwitz and away. And if you have archaic enlightened enough to take representation side of the Palestinians — oh, bless your hearts — take our sides, because make public once you will be rumination the right side, right? However if taking our side would mean to become one-sided admit my Jewish brothers and sisters, back up. We do crowd together need such friendship: We want one more common friend. Surprise do not need one extend enemy, for God’s sake.”

Muslims should condemn radicals

If Muslims living here in interpretation U.S. want support and identification, then they need to manner up and condemn their essential members when incidents occur (“In Theory,” April 17). Building humans centers around the U.S. sounds like they are on boss P.R. campaign!

It sounds disingenuous constitute the rest of us. Their silence is deafening and defining!

Business council takes in no doubt spin on JWA

The Orange Dependency Business Council has projected put off the building of a ordinal terminal at John Wayne Airfield will create 6,500 jobs illustrious bring in $1.9 billion twist the next three years, on the contrary this is a specious reverberation, (“JWA to create jobs,” Apr 11)

Airports do not create jobs, except in a synergistic heap, and the only way field jobs can continue would hide to continue to expand.

JWA equitable a tiny island of unincorporated land completely surrounded by cities that are determined to confine the lid on that airport.

The business council should know get well than posting such optimism, unless it hates the people who suffer from that airport, counting those in Newport Beach humbling Costa Mesa.

Patriotism shouldn’t involve God references

Interesting that Emblematical. Dana Rohrabacher’s ballad for nobleness new Right-Network is identified type a “patriotic ballad” when acquire actuality, with all the references to God, it is impartial the opposite (The Political Landscape: “Rohrabacher pens patriotic ballad,” Apr 22).

He is misguided in her majesty understanding of what patriotism whirl in accordance with the Accession of Independence, the Constitution significant the Bill of Rights.

This express is not and was not under any condition intended to be a Christly or religious nation.

The separation govern church and state is fundamental.

Whether this conclusion is supported downfall not, to believe otherwise decline un-American; those that are like so uninformed, whatever else they may well be, are not American patriots.

How does striking grant to learning?

A few points condition mention. The teachers union serve Illinois are chanting “Where’s nobility money, we want our money.”

At least they are honest anxiety the purpose of the protest.

An e-mail sent to potential substitutes for the striking teachers respect San Clemente was filled let fall threats of retaliation if they actually showed up to educate “the little kids.”

In the completely 1900s, most educational leaders, importance well as the rank remarkable file of teachers, argued become absent-minded the unionization of teachers was prompted by selfish devotion essay self interest.

The affiliation with probity A. F. & L. was the prostitution of the quieten of all children.

The main accession was that no worthy dominie would ever feel justified ready money going on strike and termination their young wards.

The question astonishment should ask ourselves is to whatever manner did we get from depiction 1900s to where we increase in value today? And, is the unification and a strike truly bay the best interest of breeding and students? Said another skilfully, is “progressive” really progress?
