Ask JTF for Sunday, March 20, 2011
TruthSpreader:
Dear Chaim, just three simple questions for this week's Ask JTF.
1. What is your opinion on the Muslim country, the Maldives?
2. Should Muslims live in non-Muslim countries? Especially in Western countries such as Canada, America and Europe?
3. Please expose the disgusting porn star, Ron Jeremy, yimach schmo vezichro.
Dr. Dan:
Shalom Chaim
I have found myself being more proud and more vocal about our movement's views especially when responding to peoples' comments in facebook. I just want to say to our forum members who have a facebook/twitter account to get out of their closets and stand proud to stand up for the right things. Those without a facebook account, create one. If the arab muslim nazis can do it to overthrow their governments and encourage third intifadas (Gd forbid to us and may it only happen on them and worse-amen), it's time for us to do it for israel. We have to be impassioned, but smart at how we respond to certain people who disagree with us. With outright nazis and muslim nazis we can go ape crazy on them. But for the misled people, a different leveled approach is needed.
The murders of righteous jewish families need to also stop and it's time to show jews that they need to defend themselves proudly. Kahane might not be here, but that doesn't mean we should be in distress and expect the world to condemn these evil actions.
Now for my questions:
1. Every country has gone through some sort of natural disaster created by Hashem. Have the Jews ever experienced the same? It seems when "nature" did something, it saved Jews (in Egypt). However in the past 2000 years or so, it seems that the only disasters Jews have received are human induced and not "nature" or Gd induced. Why is that?
2. In regards to your answer about Japan, I hear what you are saying. Generally speaking, the whole world is against Israel and are in some ways guilty for allowing the Shoah to happen (or even perpetrate it), as well as encouraging current day Israeli suicide. I also agree that natural disasters are done on purpose by Gd no matter how random they may seem to the imperfect human mind and eyes. The innocent and guilty suffer in these disasters also. However, we can't always say with certain accuracy why Gd caused a specific natural disaster at a specific place and time. Japan, in my opinion, has the same evilness as Europe and the United States. However, the quality of evil that exists in Muslim Nazi countries are much worse and more open, in my opinion. Can you speculate why Gd didn't do a disaster like Japan (or even worse) to those countries?
3. If not nuclear power or oil for energy, what energy source would you push for to be most efficient, safe and practical? I know fusion would be nice, but we don't have that yet.
4. On a different subject, there was a Haredi Rabbi, whose name I won't mention, with a huge influence on a Persian community in Long Island who has also been very controversial. I have read blogs about him from people who support his "zealotry" to stand up for Torah and Talmud causes, which I can admire because we are a movement that has uncompromising "zealotry" to stand up for Torah and Israel causes. However, his "zealotry" which he and his supporters even admitted to doing, regarding "tapping the Torah on a person's door who had mix dancing the night before the fast of Tevet" and cursing the women who weren't dressed very modestly with breast cancer took place. In my opinion, such actions by a Haredi Rabbi gives religiosity a bad name to misguided Jews who are not quite as religious or even secular. I know that you know of this story because I mentioned it to you in the past. To what extent do you think a Rabbi has a right to do something like this especially at a private residence?
To make a long story short, another Kolel Rabbi in the same community lifted the curse off of these people. I happen to know this Rabbi and he and his wife take the kind and loving approach in encouraging Jews to be more religious. And again, I can respect Torah "zealotry" and "uncompromise". However, it has to stop somewhere. What is your opinion on this?
5. And can you give us a dvar torah of this week's parsha.

shalom

Maimonides:
Shalom Chaim and thank you as always for your hard work and for answering my questions.
Do you think that Obama has set a dangerous precedent by having the U.S. military attack Libya without Congressional authorization, but instead insisted on U.N. authorization? Do you believe that Libyan leader Col. Gaddafi will retaliate against the U.S. with a terrorist attack, just like he did in 1988 when Libyan agents blew up Pan Am Flight 103? Finally, should we be concerned that Samantha Power, an Obama advisor who was the one pushing for military action against Libya, got her way even when military generals and the Secretary of Defense opposed attacking Libya?
Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
Shalom Chaim,
I got the message from Shlomo that you are cutting back on the mocking Action Stories and imitations and I asked Lisa to modify my second question to you last week to reflect that, but she evidently wasn't able to get to that. But I support your decision and will abide by your wishes.
1: Please share a positive story in which an evil black or Arab was redeemed and became righteous.
2: Are there any pre-modern Christian leaders who were kind to Jews in Europe or elsewhere?
3: Albanians have about eight times the number of children as regular, non-Muslim European women. At what point will they become the majority population of Europe?
4: Did you ever have the displeasure of meeting the sick self-hating Judenrat Joshua Rosenberg, yimach schmo vezichro?
G-d bless you,
TBF
