MSN Encarta - Anti-Semitism With the rise and eventual domination of Christianity throughout the Western world, discrimination against Jews on religious grounds became universal, and systematic and social anti-Judaism made its appearance. The word Semitic originally was applied to all descendants of Shem, the eldest son of the biblical patriarch Noah. Jews were massacred in great numbers, especially during the Crusades; segregated in ghettos; required to wear identifying marks or garments; and economically crippled by the imposition of restrictions on the business activities open to them. encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761574855/Anti-Semitism.html   (1084 words)

It was clearly created in imitation of, and even as a rival or counterweight to, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the Jewish civil rights organization. It became a strident voice protesting what it said were plans of the Bush administration to curtail the civil liberties of Arab Americans. www.discoverthenetworks.org /groupProfile.asp?grpid=6173   (1151 words)

Global Catholic News - Holy See Assails Anti-Christianity and Anti-Semitism Later, the Holy See delegate said that in Europe, "intolerance and discrimination against Christians and members of other religions are worrying phenomena, to which an end must be put with the same determination with which anti-Semitism and discrimination against Muslims is combated." CORDOBA, Spain, JUNE 14, 2005 (Zenit.org).- The Holy See called for commitment to the struggle against anti-Semitism as well as all other forms of violence and discrimination against religions, particularly Christianity. "In fact, it would be paradoxical to omit concrete measures to guarantee religious freedom to Christians and members of other religions without any form of discrimination and intolerance, precisely when an attempt is being made in a general plan to eliminate discrimination and intolerance," he continued. www.catholic.net /global_catholic_news/template_news.phtml?news_id=72579   (1101 words)

Al-Ahram Weekly Opinion Semites and anti-Semites, that is the question But if the history of European Christian anti-Semitism is mostly a history targeting Jews as objects of discrimination and exclusion, the history of European Orientalism and colonialism is the one that targeted Arabs and Muslims, among many others. While oppression of, discrimination against, and hatred of communities of Jews qua Jews are found in many periods of European history, the basis for this hatred is different from modern anti-Semitism, as its inspirational sources are not rational science and biology or Enlightenment philology, but religious and other political and economic considerations that scapegoated Jews. Indeed it is. The history of European Orientalism is one that is fully complicit with anti-Semitism from which it derives many of its representations of ancient and modern Arabs and of ancient Hebrews and modern Jews. weekly.ahram.org.eg /2004/720/op63.htm   (1602 words)

A NEW CENTURY OF CHRISTIAN MARTYRDOM: THE UNTOLD MIDDLE EASTERN CRISIS by Srdja Trifkovic Institutionalized or covert discrimination to which Christians are subjected in Syria, Israel, Egypt, and Lebanon, accompanied by occasional eruptions of anti-Christian violence by the Muslim majority in the last two countries, have contributed to an exodus that threatens to eradicate the believers in Christ in the lands of his birth and life. Thirteen centuries of religious discrimination, causing suffering and death of countless millions, have been covered by the myth of Islamic "tolerance" that is as hurtful to the few descendants of the victims as it is useless as a means of appeasing latter-day jihadists. It is a cruel irony that the plight of indigenous Christians remained invisible to hundreds of thousands of Christians from Europe and North America-from mainstream churches and fringe groups-who descended on the Holy Land to mark the 2,000th anniversary of their faith. www.chroniclesmagazine.org /News/Trifkovic/NewsST060502.html   (7357 words)

Gayapolis News - Multiple Arrests for Fraud in Miami-Dade Anti-Gay Initiative Anthony Verdugo, Chairman of the Miami-Dade Christian Coalition, as well as Ralph Patterson, a notary public, and a 17 year-old man, were arrested on fraud charges in relation to petitions for a ballot initiative to remove sexual orientation from an anti-discrimination ordinance passed in 1998. Coretta Scott King responded through a spokesman saying that although Dr. King did not publicly address homosexuality, in private he told her he was concerned about the discrimination felt by gays and lesbians. Earlier this year, ballot initiatives in Allentown, PA and Massachusettes were disqualified due to deceptive practices in obtaining signatures. www.gayapolis.com /news/artdisplay.php?artid=23   (438 words)

Christian Democrats support non-government Christian education Recently we stood against the Australian Democrats’ amendment in the Upper House in December to remove the exclusion of religious schools and Churches from the Anti-discrimination Act 1977 section 56D. NSW MP, Gordon Moyes MLC said, “The Christian Democratic Party supports the priority education issues of the Catholic Education Commission and Christian Schools Australia which were presented to the political parties for the NSW election. In rallies all across the state, in every electorate, I have actually argued for increasing the funding cap to Christian schools beyond the 25% cap as the latest enrolments show that 32.8% of students in NSW attend private non-government schools. www.christiandemocratic.org.au /fed/mr/030307.asp   (438 words)

Concerned Women for America - UNC Chapel Hill Fraternity Challenges University Policy Head-On Victory is close at hand for Alpha Iota Omega, a Christian fraternity on the campus of University of North Carolina (UNC)-Chapel Hill, which last August filed a lawsuit against the university for its anti-discrimination policy that would require the group to admit nonbelievers as officers. By UNC withholding full fraternal status from Alpha Iota Omega, the Christian fraternity is not allowed to meet on campus or to have equal access to student facilities as all other recognized campus organizations do. This case sets an important precedent because Christian organizations at numerous universities have been under attack for specifying that their membership be likeminded and their leaders hold to basic Biblical beliefs and behavior,” said Dr. Janice Shaw Crouse, senior fellow of the Beverly LaHaye Institute. www.cwfa.org /articledisplay.asp?id=7538&department=CWA&categoryid=freedom   (524 words)

Christian and Jewish History To the Christian or Catholic, this was not only the teaching of the Devil, but many took steps to eliminate this sacrilegious teaching from their towns and cities. These decadent beliefs, the church leaders preached, were poisoning the purity of Christianity and several leaders called for the eradication of the Jewish menace in society. Once Hitler came to power in 1933, thousands of devout Christians believed the Hitler was chosen by God to lead Germany against the evil influence of Communism its Jewish supporters. hist.academic.claremontmckenna.edu /jpetropoulos/holocaust/histcjmoments.htm   (1153 words)

Humanist: The Christian right's anti-gay agenda To understand--and defeat--the Christian right's anti-gay-rights agenda at the polls, we must delve into the propaganda environment that now invests "queers" with the stigmatized status once reserved for "communists," and now increasingly assigned to Jews and other "foreigners" in Europe's fascist climate. It is important for Christian right supporters to believe that gays and lesbians could straighten themselves out just as easily as they might dye their hair pink. The book is written for Christians struggling to reverse (or repress?) their homosexual tendencies. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m1374/is_n4_v54/ai_15493650   (1153 words)

Indian Prime Minister Urged To End Anti Christian Violence They also urged the Indian government to "take steps for the economic empowerment of the [Christian] community" especially Dalit Christians who delegates said have suffered discrimination because of their religion. News about the apparent breakthrough in negotiations with the insurgents came as Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh reportedly assured Christian leaders he would pressure officials to end tension in states ravaged by anti-Christian violence. The Christians said however they were "pained" to share with the government examples of hundreds of violent incidents against Christians this year which had "caused consternation and apprehension in the Church and in the minds of Christian Clergy, men and women." www.worthynews.com /christian-persecution/indian-prime-minister.html   (1153 words)

CESNUR - "So Many Evil Things": Anti-Cult Terrorism via the Internet Although it was able to enlist some mainline anti-cultists (including an anthropology professor associated with both mainline and fringe anti-cult movements in Italy), they had to share the podium with anti-Jewish activists and Holocaust negationists such as Jürgen Graf, sentenced to 18 months imprisonment in Switzerland in 1998 for racial discrimination. It will, in fact, be the Roman Catholic Church, the "Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth", which is by no means a Christian denomination but rather a renewed pagan "cult of Mithra". This cult is only the penultimate evil, even if "the masses have been led to believe that a Revived Roman Empire, controlled by the Roman Church, will be the final Antichrist system". www.cesnur.org /testi/anticult_terror.htm   (1153 words)

Costa Rica Delays in processing court rulings were common throughout the judicial branch, with little improvement in the slow and ineffective recourse procedures in response to anti-union discrimination. The presidential term of Abel Pacheco de la Espriella, of the Social Christian Unity Party (PUSC), began in May 2002, after he garnered 58 percent of the vote in a fair and free election. In the February 2002 elections, the failure of any one presidential candidate to win 40 percent of the popular vote necessitated a runoff election in April, which was won by Abel Pacheco of the Social Christian Unity Party. www.state.gov /g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2003/27892.htm   (6890 words)

FORMER NAACP CHIEF CARRIES UNITY MESSAGE FROM NATION OF ISLAM ``There are lots of things to celebrate between the Christian church and Protestant faith and the Nation of Islam,'' he said. A financial scandal led to his ouster in 1994; he was accused of using some $300,000 in NAACP funds to settle a sex discrimination case. Founded in the '30s by W. Fard Muhammad, the Nation of Islam is a group of mostly black men and women who gather in national mosques and study groups. scholar.lib.vt.edu /VA-news/VA-Pilot/issues/1997/vp970802/08020287.htm   (6890 words)

It is not Jews who are being murdered by the thousands by Arab anti- Semitism, but rather Arabs and Muslims who are being murdered by the tens of thousands by Euro- American Christian anti-Semitism and by Israeli Jewish anti-Semitism. But this is different from the spurious claim that "Arabs cannot be anti-Semitic because they are Semites." There are Arabs today who are anti- Jewish, and they borrow their anti-Jewish rhetoric not from the Palestine experience but from European rhetorics of anti-Semitism. weekly.ahram.org.eg /2004/720/op63.htm   (1602 words)

White supremacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia White supremacy is most often thought of in connection with anti-black racism and anti-Semitism, though it has also been used to justify discrimination against Native Americans, Chinese, Irish, Southeast Asians, and others. Many white supremacist groups do not necessarily adhere to Christian Identity or other religious doctrines. In the United States, white supremacist movements sometimes are linked to fundamentalist Christianity or Christian Identity; but most Christians, even those who identify themselves as "fundamentalists", denounce the movement as fundamentally non-Christian. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/White_supremacy   (1602 words)

The Public Eye : Website of Political Research Associates Anti-discrimination laws in other states will undoubtedly now be targeted. The ex-gay movement, like the Christian Right of which it is a part, is intolerant of anyone who does not conform to its ideals of family, marriage, moral values, and sexual orientation. The ex-gay movement is an integral part of the Christian Right which promotes Christian nationalism, an ideology that seeks to use government laws and regulations to impose fundamentalist Christian values on the entire nation. www.publiceye.org /equality/x-gay/X-Gay.html   (1602 words)

White supremacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia White supremacy is most often thought of in connection with anti-black racism and anti-Semitism, though it has also been used to justify discrimination against anyone that is supposedly not considered "white" such as; Native Americans, Asians, Irish, Arabs, Blacks, Italians, Roman Catholics, Jews, and others. The Ku Klux Klan (KKK), one of the most recognized white supremacist groups in the United States, proposes racial segregation that generally is not based on religious ideals, although some klan groups may be openly Christian Identity but accepting to other Protestants.

Persecution of Jews - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jews were allowed to live as dhimmis under Islam; yet the political conflict between Muhammad and the Jews of Medina in the 7th century left ample ideological fuel for Islam and anti-Semitism through the centuries. In medieval Europe, many persecutions of Jews in the name of Christianity occurred, notably during the Crusades—when Jews all over Germany were massacred—and a series of expulsions from England, Germany, France, and, in the largest expulsion of all, Spain. Sometimes Jews were baptized involuntarily, and, even when such baptisms were illegal, forced to practice the Christian religion. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Persecution_of_Jews   (1479 words)

Muslim Council Of Montreal Pleased That Dr. Mohamed Elmasry Will Not Resign From     CIC Presidency In addition Dr. Elmasry has worked on numerous civil rights issues nationally and internationally and has been actively involved in anti-hate and anti-discrimination campaigns. Elmenyawi noted that Dr. Elmasry has worked hard at building bridges of co-operation and mutual understanding between the Muslim, Jewish and Christian communities, including making a special effort to support the Jewish community when a Jewish school library was attacked here in Montreal. "Although the media has demanded apologies from Dr. Elmasry the Muslim community daily waits for apologies from the media over its consistent anti-Muslim, anti-Arab bias, as pointed out by CIC's media work, and this type of coverage has fostered a climate of hate and intolerance within Canadian society against our community," Elmenyawi further stated. www.montrealmuslimnews.net /elmasrystatement.htm   (827 words)

The Cardinal Ratzinger Fan Club: Mixed Signals from the Vatican - Jewish Christian Relations According to the Encyclopedia Brittanica, "anti-semitism" was coined in 1879 by Wilhelm Marr to designate anti-Jewish campaigns in central Europe at that time.

Independent Gay Forum: Varnell, Paul. 'Exorcising the Ghost of Anita.' After the 1977 passage of a gay anti-discrimination law in Dade County, Bryant said the Lord told her to organize a movement to overturn the law. Even those of us who on libertarian grounds believe, as I do, that non-discrimination laws are unwise public policy can feel grim satisfaction that Bryant's repeal campaign, focused not on personal liberties but on anti-gay slanders, aggressive ignorance, willful misrepresentation, and fundamentalist zealotry, was finally after 25 years repudiated by the electorate. Bryant, you recall, was a former beauty queen, second runner up – i.e., third place – in the 1959 Miss America contest ("I was really disappointed that I didn't get the Miss Congeniality trophy," she said), a popular singer, Christian evangelist, and prominent pitchwoman for Florida orange juice and other products. www.indegayforum.org /authors/varnell/varnell98.html   (874 words)

National Gay and Lesbian Task Force NGLTF's support will help SAVE Dade counter the attack of the anti-gay group Take Back Miami-Dade, which has joined forces with Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition to place an amendment on the ballot to once again remove sexual orientation from the county's current anti-discrimination ordinance, passed in 1998. On June 7, 1977, Bryant's campaign resulted in Miami-Dade voters repealing the county's ordinance that prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation, by an overwhelming margin of 69% to 31%. Bryant's campaign is widely considered to have been a pivotal moment in the modern GLBT civil rights movement, and GLBT activists across the nation expect the current Miami-Dade ballot fight to be one of the most hotly contested and closely watched this season. www.commondreams.org /news2002/0605-06.htm   (824 words)

Bloomington considers policy change - News Boyle said in 1995 the commission recommended the Bloomington City Council include sexual orientation in its anti-discrimination policy. The amendment to the city’s ordinance would give gays and lesbians protection under the law from discrimination involving employment, housing, financing and public accommodation, Kathy Boyle, equal opportunity associate for the Bloomington Human Relations Commission, said. “The local government is unwittingly harming the people they desire to help.” Glover said he is often asked how his organization can be considered Christian when it is opposing people — in this case, gays and lesbians. www.dailyvidette.com /news/2001/10/18/News/Bloomington.Considers.Policy.Change-128244.shtml   (1260 words)
