“Antisemitism is unique among religious hatreds. It is a racist conspiracy theory fashioned for the needs of messianic and brutal rulers, as dictators from the Tsars to the Islamists via the Nazis have shown. Many other alleged religious 'hatreds' are not hatreds in the true sense. If I criticise Islamic, Orthodox Jewish or Catholic attitudes towards women, for instance, and I'm accused of being a bigot, I shrug and say it is not bigoted to oppose bigotry.” IfsNeedsReligiousAttitudeTheoryUniqueHatredCatholicInstanceIslamicRacistOrthodoxBigotryConspiracyRulersBrutalDictatorNaziAccusedBigotsConspiracy TheoryIslamistsCriticiseReligious Hatred Author:Nick Cohen

Somehow forgiveness, with love and tolerance, accomplishes miracles that can happen in no other way.” ThinkingWayNeedsMayHappensEarthPrinciplesVirtueModernNeededHatredAbuseMiracleAncientAccomplishToleranceScriptureRepentanceIntoleranceMeannessRepentance And Forgiveness Author:Gordon B.

“The income tax is bad because it was conceived in class hatred, is an instrument of vengeance and plays right into the hands of the communists. It employs the vicious communist principle of taking from each according to his accumulation of the fruits of his labor and giving to others according to their needs, regardless of whether those needs are the result of indolence, or lack of pride, self-respect, personal dignity or other attributes of men.” MenNeedsGivingSelfPlayHandsResultsClassPrinciplesPrideTaxesLaborDignityHatredInstrumentsFruitIncomeSelf RespectCommunistAttributesViciousVengeanceAccumulationIncome TaxIndolencePersonal DignityGiving To Others Author:T.
