QUOTE OF THE DAY

"Rejoice not at thine enemy's fall --- but don't rush to pick him up, either."

                      ---  Jewish Proverb




[ J E W I S H  L I V I N G ]



---> war on jihad
A 'moderate Muslim' exposed
By Steven Emerson

JWR is being criticized harshly over our supposed "biased" analysis of the Ground Zero mosque project. I'm sure that's true of the position many of our readers have taken. Now, one of the world's foremost terror investigators and his crew have dug deep and learned the truth about the project's head. We suggest that you forward this article via our "share" features to those in need of
enlightenment.

INCLUDES AUDIO of the imam in his own words

---> reality check
Pointless Talks

Some history and the results for those who would learn

---> things that make you go 'hmmm'
The 'Zionist plot' to build a mosque
By Wesley Pruden

The Ground Zero mosque, which is stirring such a sandstorm in New York City, isn't so popular in certain precincts of the Middle East, either. Some Muslims there think President Obama and Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York are nuts. Impotent and irresolute, too

[ D A I L Y    I N S P I R A T I O N  ]


"Positive Word Power: Building a better world with the words you speak"

Talk is NOT cheap.

Words are our most valuable - and most powerful - assets. Through words, we can forge or tear down relationships, inspire or demean our children, spouses, or friends, offer comfort or inflict pain. Through words, we can create an atmosphere of harmony or discord, contentment or conflict, blessing or, Heaven forbid, its opposite.

Controlling and properly channeling our words can seem as impossible as stopping a rushing river.

But the Torah (Bible) teaches us that we can --- and must.
