Solutions, Remedies and Cultural Amnesia

05-10-2006 14:41

Would someone care to guess the historical age of the well-known adage, “A HOUSE DIVIDED CANNOT STAND” notwithstanding this particular quote is sourced from theological material?

Belgian Far-right party calls for Jews to join war on Islam

05-10-2006 12:28

We've already seen an alliance in the UK between the Start-a-War coalition of IsraelFirster's and a fascist BNP front organisation, both of which publicised and attended the March for Free Expression (to slag off Muslims).
