Barka De Sallah To All Muslims with Love


Muslims in Nigeria today celebrate the feast of sacrifice titled ''Id-El-Kabir'' . Ths celebration according to the Islamic calender is set aside to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim(said holy) to follow Allah's command to sacrifice his son Ishmael. Alongside almighty Allah sent angel Jibril to stop Ibrahim from killing his son, replacing him with white ram instead. Ever since muslims each particular period in a year observe this aged-sacrificial ritual with slaughtering of animals including cows, rams, goats e.t.c

In regards the federal government of nigeria declared 24th and 25th of september public holiday to mark this feast, which fell as usual on the 10th Dhul-Hyjah- coinciding with the climbing of Mount Arafat, to mark the end of this year's holy pilgrimage in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. 'I urge Nigerians to pray for peace, progress and unity across the nation' said Abubakar Magaji (ministry's permanent secretary).

I wish all our muslim brothers and sisters Barka da Sallah !!

Frankenstein and the Bible

Mary Shelley's  Frankenstein  was published in London in the early 1800's well after the Jewish legend of the Golem-creature who protected 16th century Jews in Prague Although there are some differences between the story lines, the similarities between Frankenstein and the Golem are striking: For starters, they were both big and scary with superhuman strength. Plus, they both had to be Jewish. I mean, most of my Jewish relatives have names that end in "-stein"... Goldstein, Silverstein, Frankenstein... you name it. And my own Grandma swore that my Grandpa looked like a Golem. And just to drive home my logical deductions even more, the Talmud talks about a Golem being created who couldn't communicate verbally (Sanhedrin 65B) and it seems pretty clear that Frankenstein doesn't utter any intelligible language known to man. Either that or Frankie works as a NYC subway operator. Although the Talmud may have spoke about Golems, Isaiah spoke about "wearying...

A member of the Israeli legislative government was slammed for his alleged comments about Reform Judaism on Wednesday, after   media outlets reported David Rotem stating , "The Reform movement is not Jewish … they are another religion." The statement shocked members of the Jewish community worldwide, especially as characterizing the Reform movement as another religion has political implications relating to Israel's Law of Return, which prevents non-Jews from making aliyah, or immigrating to Israel.   The Jewish Telegraphic Agency   reported that a statement released by Israel's Reform movement explained that by using the term "another religion," Rotem effectively stated that "Reform Jews have no place in Israel."
