I understand why people are doing these stories.
1) The Christians and Muslims are also posting articles & videos about people joining them. I get the impression that the reason for all these public declarations is at least in part about people seeing conversions to their belief system as some confirmation of their being right.

And this is a growing problem all over the UK, efforts to marginalize and exclude Jews from public life.

Now here is the big question.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "Is there a war on Christianity or is it a war on religion?

The reason for the question comes out of the frequent claims by some on the Right politically that there is a war on Christianity.
1) Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, Bill O’Reilly. Have all mentioned it or written about it.

But I suggest that they are wrong. There is not a war on Christianity as much as there is a war on religion. All religion.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "I have watched the left demonstrate in major US cities, and from what I have seen I can conclude the following.

They hate billionaires — though the billionaires are supporting their protests and their political leaders.
1) They want to abolish “ICE,” but cannot tell you, when asked, what ICE is and does.

They repeat slogans about democracy, but they cannot define it, or worse.

They seem to know what they are against, but they cannot tell anyone why, nor can they articulate what they are for.

The British claim the Falklands as their territory, though the Falklands are almost 8,000 miles (almost 13,000 km) from London.

So, let’s look at this closely. Politicians that have failed. Politicians that have based their entire careers on making false accusations against Netanyahu.
