Charles, you are a Christian; I am a Jew. I believe our priorities are different

I took a look at your blog. It's a good one but our priorities are very different.. You concentrate on Islam and its threat to the west. No doubt it is indeed a threat, but you are missing the forest for the trees, with all due respect.

You should know as a Christian, in the so-called "last days" (which could go on for quite some time) Israel is at the nexus of this battle. All else is peripheral. As the nations turn more and more against Israel and Jerusalem, the world will become more violent and unstable. Thus we have resurgent Islam.

Because Bush is making war on the Jews and the Holy Land by undermining Israel's security, it is causing instability in the Mideast region and ultimately throughout the earth.

So long as Christians miss this fundamental truth, we will continue to descend into chaos and ultimately ruin here in the predominantly Christian west.

Everything centers on the Holy Land. You of all people should know this.
