Think now of the Muslim at prayer in which he presses that very spot into the floor so hard over time he flattens his forehead and gives himself a permanent black and blue mark. For Muslims, piety is the blinding of the third eye of wisdom, crushing it. Piety is unthinking, mindless obedience and a rejection of this life as not good enough.

How often we have heard madmen like Hassan Nasrallah boast that in the clash between Believers and al-Yahud and the West, the Believers will win because they love death and the West loves life.

How true. The Torah teaches choose life, and the Torah has not a word about an afterlife. It is all about living a righteous life in this world, this beautiful, amazing creation of HaShem.

Muslims hate this life and want out. Jews love this life and thank HaShem for it a hundred times a day…
