I'm not so sure that throwing stones at tanks and throwing tanks with
stones means nearly the same thing. If children are throwing tanks with
stones I don't know whether to picture throwing stones and tanks side by
side or to picture children using stones as a tank throwing device.
Either way it is a good deal more funny than throwing the stones at the
tanks. At least that way I don't have to wonder if it really means
throwing tanks at the stones.

Alright, whether throwing stones at tanks or throwing tanks with
stones, the meaning is nearly the same. To get out of this, thank you
for the suggestion, though both sentential structures are fairly
correct. Despite this idiotic debate, it seems that seeing children
throwing stones at tanks is somewhat satisfactory. Carl, I commend
your courteous remarks, but we unfortunately, won’t ever agree. Jason,
I do not give credit to any Arab state. They are fainthearted,
dampened, westernly influenced, secularised and civilly defeated. I
endorse Hamas because it is the only courageous militant element that
engages against Israeli invaders. As for the remaining threads, I’ll
dispose them for lacking significance. As I plainly stated, I’ll
conveniently dismiss attempts of imperialism, intervension or cultural
manipulation. I am quite confident and contented with my identity. Why
do I have to be a traitor or a confused person who poses nonmeaningful
questions? Why should I waste my time doing this? Because someone in
the west strenuously strives to strangle my identity and then, coerce
my frustrated entity into a distorted copy of his culture. I chose to
subscribe to this list with a pseudonym. I previously outlined my
justifications for that. I could be named Bob, but I won’t be the
Texan guy in character. I eat western food. I wear western clothe.
But, I won’t buy western thoughts. For the benefit of our children
here, I rather would collaborate with respectful people abroad. To
make this a positive outcome, I need someone to help me with the
following. I recently began to teach sightless children who
communicate gesturally. I am tasked with teaching them elementary
Braille. Now, I am genuinely bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to learn
sign language. But, I am afraid, I am not so sure how to do that
properly as a blind person. While I utterly recognise sign language
may substantially differ from culture to another, I want to make a
start on this. Note, these children need a different conception of
sign language. Ordinarily, sighted deaf people express themselves
through visible hand gestures. But, the ones I have just been involved
with are sightless and nonverbal simultaneously. I am desperate to
interact with them. I randomly attempt to fathom their perceptions.
However, I demand to be competent. Kindly, if someone knows anything
about this, I’ll be grateful if he guided me to where I shall begin.
You may forward this post to anyone who is able to help me achieving
my objective. Furthermore, has Braille ever been taught to sightless
and nonverbal children? Do you know any certified curriculum to rely
on? If someone destines to respond to this thread, please, stick to
the crucial segment and dismiss what is above. It begins with, “To
make this”. Cordially, Bob Evans.

Like Bob Evans, many of us believe ourselves to be reasonable people,
and arrive at our present beliefs by processing the information
available to us. In Rehab we called it, "Informed Choice". But in
the real world it is no choice at all. It is a conclusion brought
about by our social norms and the teachings allowed by our particular
Ruling Class.
We do not want to believe that our minds have been so controlled as to
make Free Choice impossible.
All of us have been conditioned by our culture, our parents and close
family, our Faith, our Peers, and how we process all of this
"information". To believe that we were not affected by the World we
live in is to suggest that we are "God-like". Donald Trump is such a
person. If he tells us that the Media gives us False News, then that
is what it is, because Donald Trump has stepped away from the
influences that shape most of us. Donald Trump has placed himself in
a very small group of individuals. They include the likes of Joseph
Stalin, Adolph Hitler, Joseph Smith,Jr., Charles Manson, and the
countless Royalty that has oppressed Mankind down through the
centuries. All are products of their culture. And all believe
themselves to have either risen above the Masses, or been anointed
. There is probably no "happy ending" to this story of Mankind, but
still we must try to bring about a peaceful conclusion. To do nothing
will seal our doom. Until we can live as One People, agreeing to
accept each others differences while not attempting to force our
beliefs onto others, and tackling together the most pressing threat to
our existence, the destruction of Life on Planet Earth, we stand face
to face with our own self inflicted extinction.

At least 1 in 4 American Christians surveyed recently by Christianity
Today magazine said, they believe it is their biblical accountability
to relentlessly plump for the nation of Israel. This view is commonly
known as Christian Zionism. The Pew Research Center put the figure at
approximately 63% among white evangelicals. Christian Zionism is
pervasive within mainline American evangelism. It is broadly endorsed
among charismatic and independent congregations. This includes the
Assemblies of God, Pentecostals and Southern Baptists, as well as many
of the independent mega churches. It is less prevalent within the
historic denominations, which show significant repute for the work of
the United Nations, support for human rights, the rule of
international law and empathy with the Palestinians. Despite the
explicit abnegation of Christian Zionism by mainstream Christian
bodies, many registered and nondenominational Churches across the
States emphasise the alleged religious obligation to incalculably
stand by Israel, politically and with full financial backing. They
claim their perspective is theologically justified. Thus, the
foundation of Israel in 1948 fulfills a biblical prophecy for them.
So, who is to be considered a Christian Zionist? To answer this
thoroughly, there are major factors to measure someone’s stance and
ideology. First, political orientation. In the United States, if
someone happened to be Republican or he strongly boosts for that
particular party, he is most likely to be listed as a Christian
Zionist. Second, regional base. By good chance, many of those who
reside in southern States are in favour of Christian Zionism. Note, I
haven’t extrapolated. I used a lucid quantifier to purposely
indicate a considerable amount. Third, Xenophobia. Christian Zionists
are constantly assaulting foreign visitors and licit residents. They
unrelentingly call for unconscionable expatriation. Fourth, racism.
They act superiorly and they disgrace ethnic minorities. They diss and
assault them in a staidly despicable manner. Fifth, Islamophobia. They
methodologically demonise Islam. They viciously misportray its
essence. They misquote its text, they shamelessly lie about its
tenets. Sixth, warmongering. Despite their counterfeit sentiments of
promoting peace, they incessantly advocate for warfare. In one of his
damnable rallies on last Fourth of July, hellion Donald Trump spoke
simultaneously to veterans and faith leaders. They both spatted to his
intolerably belligerent remarks. Seventh, Americanism. Unlike
respectable nations, they coerce whoever wishes to interculturally
communicate with them to become wholly Americanised in character. They
basically manipulate them. Eighth, hate speech. Instead of attempting
to coexist with various ethnic descents, they unstoppably exercise
disparagement. They are at the slightest, bigoted, fanatic,
irresponsible, detestable, repellent and intimidating. Ninth,
Buttonholing for Israel’s aggression and invasion. Christian Zionists
are infinitely colluded and possessed by Israeli military aspirations.
They tolerate enormous atrocities committed by insensate Israeli
soldiers. They hardheartedly watch on television, Palestinian children
throwing Israeli tanks with stones. Tenth, Dissimulation. Christian
Zionists are conspicuously notorious of deceiving lay citizens. They
always terrify them from foreign visitors. They are excessively
xenophobic. Ultimately, who is this message for? In plainly parlance
terms, it is for Zionist pastors and preachers. I am here to deliver
them fear. Donald Trump era has brought you turbulent development. It
exposed your genuine figure. There are high mountains to climb. As you
are boosting for warfare, we are advocating for Jihad in return.
Numerous evangelical Christians came out to be what they truly are.
They aren’t able to hide their actual intent of intemperately
disseminating evil. At the same time, as always, I ought to hold the
cane from the middle. This is not a rant against all Americans,
Christians or even Jews. Despite your faith or the lack of,
philosophical or political orientation, people who are willing to
refrain from imposing aggression or foreign intervension in our own
affairs are warmly welcome. I proudly collaborated with cecity
associations across the States. We prosperously held projects for
implementing accessibility and advocated for perfect independence to
those who live with sight loss. I have a brilliant Mormon friend
called Alison. She is a loving person. She is truly loyal and
respectful. She lives in Utah. We mutually have incredible deference
for each other’s faith and cultural origin. I truly admire her
unfeigned commitment to family and kinship ties. I am only strident
with those who insist to adhere uncongenial temperament. I have strong
ties to my faith and heritage. It is not because I was born Muslim. I
studied at deep length and concentration Islamic theology. I took
various curricula on Koran commentary, Hadith discipline, Shariah
jural, classical Arabic, Islamic history, philosophy and eminently
prestigious English class at the British Council. I wholeheartedly
maintain this foreign language to fend for my heritage and identity.
Unlike secularised and civilly defeated Muslims, I am inconvenient to
unethically indoctrinate. Fortuitously, I am sufficiently conscious of
what is occurring. Thence, I competently recognise what to apprise and
what to despise. I demonstrate in this post the crucial necessity to
persistently repudiate antagonisation acts while at the same time,
sustaining respectful friendship and positive inclusion. This is what
Islam prescribes. We are religiously enjoined to be pious of the
divine while being just and dutiful. Islam has decisive precepts for
states of peace and war. Shariah jural has been filled with
detailed and accurate maxims. It ranges from territorial jurisdiction
to how to go to the toilet. Allah hasn’t left us clueless of even the
littlest matters as for the latter. This is our identity and we are
quite proud of it. Anyone attempts to plague us to provoke our
offence, he’ll instantly be countered with what he may not like. So,
watch out. It wholly depends on your initial disposal. The way you’ll
act, you’ll be rewarded. If you aim to instigate hostility,
retaliation is to be radically anticipated. If you intend to be
peaceful, your proposal will appreciatively be rivaled. Hate is not
our fete. Our purpose is to integrate. Cordially, Bob Evans
