BARBARA'S TCHATZKAHS

Not once, since the Cordoba House Mosque controversy started - not ONCE have I heard the Imam or any of the mosque's planners, etc.  say they would be willing to move the mosque elsewhere.  No - they are SET on it being 2 blocks from Ground Zero. People actions speak MUCH louder than words and this action says it all - the mosque is a provocation.  An excuse for those who will be deluged with protests, attacks on the building, attacks on people worshipping there to say " SEE!! Americans are anti-muslim ."  And that's bulls**t.   If it was about a place of worship, moving it would a simple, easy to discuss matter.  A matter openly on the table.  But no, they're adamant.  And frankly, they're bullies.  Muslims have the right to worship in peace just like anyone else.  Since the planners won't discuss moving it - peaceful worship is obviously not the driving force here, is it? This is a very sensitive issue to people who lost loved ...

NONE SO BLIND... The piece below is pure satire ( just in case after reading it, it wasn't obvious to you. ) But it does lampoon something that is pure stupidity. The U.S. thinking that being so politically correct to Islamofascists is going to make them play nice. I posted an article here the other day about the Sickness Inside an Abusive Marriage. It was right on point. Believe me. I've lived it. Not just with my ex but with friends and guys I dated for a nano-second. At first everything is hunky dory. They may even actually care about you for a second. Then they get tired, bored or just plain cruel and nothing you say or do is right. Nothing you try is enough for them. NOTHING. Everything you say and do is wrong. You are wrong for breathing and you are even MORE wrong for having feelings. They should be able to tap dance all over you with stilletos and you should get up and smile about it. They blame you for everything from global warming to telling you the p...

THE UNITED KINGDOM... OF ARABIA I was in the U.K. recently. One of my dearest friends lives there and I love it there. I've been to Edinburgh and Inverness in Scotland. I've been to Stratford, Bath, Portsmouth, The Isle of Wight and of course, London. My experiences in London, in particular, have always been good ones. Every time I go have a strange sense of deja vu. I know where I am going without a map and without being told. I know the shortcuts and the scenery is too familiar. It is as if I have lived there my whole life. London is one of the three places I have visited that I have had this experience with. Therefore, I consider it a part of me. But this last time was a bit different. I had said on Israel Forum that the Muslim population had not only grown but become very aggressive. A trip to my friend's mother's house involved her mentioning to be careful for the Muslim kids who think nothing of jumping a Jew armed with a screwdriver. ( Should I say my ...
