April 2013), in a letter that cites the need of a leader “to express the voice of Judaism during the difficult period we are experiencing.”

My comment:
When the Muslims pray in the center of Paris, they do not pray towards the Supreme Court or the Parliament. They pray towards where their loalty always will be: Towards Mecca. They should return to a place, where they are closer to their Chief Imam’s and people who share their culture and ideology.

News that matters 
The Muslims in Europe are simply doing what they always do, wherever they go–trying to take over. The Satanic governmental powers in the world are content to let Muslims counter the threat they see from Judeo-Christianity. This is nothing new, of course. They have battled biblical, Judeo-Christianity for many decades already. The “kings of the earth” commit fornication with “Mystery Babylon” (false religion) and use it for their purpose of gaining power over the people. They use financial means as well but they particularly like using false religion because it doesn’t require them to spend much money to affect many masses of people. I pray that Muslims wake up to how they are being manipulated by Satan and come to trust in the only Savior that we have ever been given–the Lord Jesus, the Messiah.
While stationed in Munich Germany in 1960-1964, my father, an Army career Sargent took me and my siblings to see Dachau concentration camp to impress upon us what history had unfolded. The camp stood as it was in 1945. Germans were not allowed into the camp because the American Military wanted them to never forget what the German nation had done to Jew , Polish, Russian, American, and German, as well as many other nationalities. The prisoners barracks were long wooden shacks with interior areas separated with chicken wire. Initials, names, pleas for YHWH’s mercy and help were carved into the 2X4’s. The ovens and gas chambers still stood, and the odor of burning bodies lingered in the air. A creek that ran the perimeter of the camp at that time still ran red in the spring time from the firing squads deadly aim. Mass graves (ashes) were made into mini hills then adorned with plaques and flowers. In 2013 my sister and I returned to Munich for a visit. Dachau is no longer there. The German’s have wiped the memory away. In its place is a park. In one generation the memory is gone. History has and will continue to repeat itself. It made quite an impression on at that time a 15 year old Christian girl. What is happening in France and across the globe is the repetition of history. YHWH has given us this history in his Holy Book. Read it, pray and get close to our Heavenly Father because He will comfort us.
The more a country hates Jews the more God curses them with Islam!
Paris tragedy case in point.
Humans were made to crave transcendence. We will either transcend this world with the only One who IS capable of bringing us to heaven or we will buy into the schemes of the devil–a cruel deceiver who desires to take a great many human souls to the Lake of Fire. Satan’s hand is obviously on Islam, just as it was/is on the Vatican. Both are filled with evil and they have raised their hand against God. He will repay.
As C.S. Lewis once noted, Satan’s specialty is getting humans to think that he doesn’t exist. After that, one of his oldest schemes is to cause mankind to doubt God’s word of truth. Those who read and believe God’s word, love the Jewish people. Hatred of the Jewish people is demonic. We who love Jesus, love His kin and recognize the great debt of gratitude that we owe them for faithfully preserving the oracles of God. Islam cannot and will not win but the woe they will bring on themselves and the world will, thank God, never be seen again. Even so, come Lord Jesus.
