Radio Show/Podcast!!!

Israeli Women in Black…Jews and Muslims Alike…Covered From Head to Toe in Black Sheets

Written by Marty Roberts on December 20, 2011 – 1:11 pm -

New heights of religion-mandated modesty, or just cultish craziness?…Depends upon which religion you ascribe to…

Radio Show/Podcast!!!

Listen to the show…

Women in black

With more and more women in Israel covering themselves from head to toe in black burkas, it would be a good time to look at what this phenomenon is all about. What are the roots of female dress in Islam historically? How is this affected by modern fundamentalist interpretation of the Koran and other Islamic writings? What are the implications for Muslim women?…


jewish taliban

And what about the small cult of “Jewish Taliban” that seem to be imitating the ways of Islam? Any basis in Jewish law for such uber-modest dress in Jewish women, married and unmarried alike?

A look at the history and current status of the cult of Jewish “Veiled Women”…


Chanukah Menorah

As The Cold, Dark Winter Descends on the Still Smoldering Arab Spring, A Serious Question Must Be Addressed…

Written by Marty Roberts on December 13, 2011 – 2:01 pm -

Is Democracy, in and of itself, an absolute, positive value?…Even when the majority choose evil?

Radio Show/Podcast!!!

Listen to the show…

islam-dominate-world

Egypt Election Results

The results of early rounds in the Egyptian elections make it clear that the largest, most powerful Arab country in the Middle East is going to be run by fundamentalist Islamic jihadist parties. These parties clearly call for the Islamic Sharia Law to be the basis of Egypt’s yet-to-be-written constitution. By choosing as they did, the Egyptians follow the other countries in the region, Turkey, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco, with Syria and Jordan soon to follow. Democratic choices, but does that mean they are right? Good?


salafi woman

Muslim_Brotherhood

Time will tell, as to the results, but the moral questions must be addressed by us, the products and supporters of Western-style democracy…the believers in and followers of the Judeo-Christian Ethic…


This edition of The Marty Roberts Show explores these questions. Marty also presents and documents the ideology and declared goals of the Muslim Brotherhood, both in North America and around the world…

Evil Decrees Against the Jews…History Repeats Itself…In America!!

Written by Marty Roberts on June 15, 2011 – 12:54 pm -

Criminalizing Jewish ritual circumcision (Brit Milah)…

Radio Show/Podcast!!!

Listen to the show…

Jewish ritual circumcision

The newest, yet oldest form of institutionalized anti-semitism gains momentum in the United States…


ban circumcision

Next on the list of targets will most likely be kosher meat…These people value the lives of animals more than they do those of humans…
It’s okay with them to kill unborn male children (freedom of choice), but don’t you dare mess with their penises (if they happen to make it to birth), no matter WHAT your Creator says…


foreskin man

The author of the San Francisco bill created these hate-filled anti-semitic comic books to further the cause of stripping Jews of their right to practice their faith in America…
Nazis, anyone?


foreskin-man

The Greek-Assyrians first banned Jewish circumcision in 170 B.C.E., and it led to the story of Channukah…
Then came the Romans, the Nazis…now the liberal-progressive atheist Americans…

And…Why do states like Texas, Illinois and Florida need NEW laws to allow a Jew to hang a 2-inch long tube with a scroll inside (mezuzah) on their doorpost?…What happened to freedom of religion in America?…

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Addresses a Joint Session of the U.S. Congress..To Resounding American Support From Both Sides of the Aisle

Written by Marty Roberts on May 25, 2011 – 11:21 am -

Israel’s position for talks with the palestinians are clear and reasonable…

Radio Show/Podcast!!!

Listen to the show…

Netanyahu Speech to Congres

NO return to the 1967 Auschwitz borders…
NO division of Israel’s capital, Jerusalem…
NO return of so-called palestinian refugees inside of Israel’s borders…
NO negotiations with the palestinian Al-Queda, Hamas…


Netanyahu's speech

And, of course, the palestinians must recognize and accept the existence of Israel as a Jewish State…

All of which the palestinians have already refused to do…but we knew that, anyway, didn’t we?


Hebron

Also…palestinian leader Abbas openly denies history by repudiating any Jewish historical connection with the land of Israel, while claiming a “palestinian” legacy…none of which is supported by history, OR archeology…


Plus…American AND Israeli leaders have come and gone, but the Jews continue to be fruitful, multiply and settle the Land of Israel…specifically, Judea and Sameria…Why we will never leave, no matter WHO is in “power”…

All this and more on “The Marty Roberts Show”…

Barak Obama’s Middle East Policy Speech…Has The American President Completely Lost Touch With Reality?

Written by Marty Roberts on May 20, 2011 – 11:25 am -

He has to be either ignorant and uninformed, totally naive…or totally hostile to America’s best allies in the Middle East …

Radio Show/Podcast!!!

Listen to the show…

Obama speech

That’s the only possible explanation for the content of his policy speech at the US State Department yesterday.


obama slogans

How can he possibly call for the establishment of a hostile, terrorist state on Israeli land, while returning Israel to the in-defensible pre-1967 “Auschwitz” borders?

How can he expect Israel to make peace with the Hamas/Fatah/Iran terrorist entity now unified in their leadership of the Palestinian Authority…a united administration sworn to Israel’s destruction in both word and deed?


US taxpayer dollars

How can America pour massive sums of US taxpayer-dollars into countries like Egypt and Tunis, after causing the ouster of US-friendly leaders, soon to be replaced by Islamist, Jihadist Moslem Brotherhood governments?

How can Obama call for the downfall of Arab leader after Arab leader, but not do so for Syria’s Assad, who is murdering hundreds of his own citizens on a daily basis?


Plus…U.S Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle call for an immediate halt to American aid to the Palestinian Authority…


Tawfik Hamid

Islamic ThinkerTawfik Hamid

And…Former Muslim radical Tawfik Hamid writes:
“The Arab-Israeli conflict is NOT about borders, but about the EXISTENCE OF ISRAEL.”
