How devious it was for the Christian countries of the world to say, “We're going to use our power and prestige to repatriate God's Chosen People to their ancestral homeland, their Promised Land.” Could there be a bigger lie than that? Because they control the newspapers, the magazines, the radio, the television, the book publishing business, and because they have the ministers in the pulpit and the politicians on the soapboxes talking the same language, it is not too surprising that you believe that lie. You'd believe black is white if you heard it often enough. You wouldn't call black black anymore -- you'd start to call black white. And nobody could blame you.
That is one of the great lies of history. It is the foundation of all the misery that has befallen the world.

"Foundation of all the misery..."
Bio, don't you think this is a bit exaggerated? A few years before the establishment of Israel, a war had been fought where one single country lost at least 30 million people, and the Jews themselves were killed by the millions. All in all, more than 60 million died in that war, which was about 2% of the world's population.
Secondly, let's suppose there was a complete historical disregard (on the part of the west) for the fate of the non-Jews of the Middle East. Isn't it just as true that the leadership of those non-Jewish states cared even less for their population? Why is it that the sovereign Arab nations, for example, are still mired in anti-democratic backwardness?

No because lying is just as hurtful, for example someone you love is murdered... you are hurt, angry and maybe many emotions right? Well your spouse supposedly the one that you build a life with, love, share all secrets with, have children with yada yada lies to you and has an affair outside of marriage, its the fact that he was not honest with her and acted like nothing was goin on... the spouse is hurt, angry and probably depressed. So the results are the same those things hurt others and that is why God sees them as equal.

According to the Christian religion all sins are the same, except Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. So lying is the exact same thing as murder in their religion.

That diatribe is one of the biggest pile of rubbish I have read on Yahoo Answers.
It is interesting that this TERRIBLE COUNTRY full of INFIDELS is the one that moon worshipers want to get to. NOT JUST to/for TAKFIR.
Outbursts of HATE like this REALLY expose what the crescent moon bunch are all about!

Last time I checked the liberal democrats controlled all of the media, not Christians.
