Fighting for Muslim women's rights 2008-10-28 01:22:19 Religions always come into cultures, they don't come into abstract and pure spaces.

Sacrificing the Jews for Christianity 2008-11-14 04:31:54 The Catholic Church's decisions regarding the beatification of its saints should not concern the Jews.

What is at stake here is the Catholic perception of the Shoah - the worst nightmare in Jewish history, during which six million of our people were murdered. For Cat Read more:Christianity
