About Kesher Talk

  • "Kesher" means "connection" in Hebrew. The banner image is the mosaic floor of a 6th c. synagogue in Jericho, showing a menorah flanked by a shofar and lulav; the inscription reads "Shalom Al Yisrael." (This synagogue was destroyed by Arab vandals a few years ago. The condition of the mosaic floor is unknown.)

Bullying Europe

Radical Islam in Europe is like an abusive husband and father. Not the kind that controls and terrorizes his family behind closed doors while presenting a civilized face to his community. No, Radical Islam in Europe is like the man who not only bullies his family in private and public, but gets into fights in bars and blackmails the neighbors with threats of violence when they attempt to publicize his depredations. Family members who leave must hide in shelters and assume new identities, because he will track them down and kill them. Neighbors complain among themselves but hesitate about speaking out, or ingratiate themselves with the bully, ostracizing those who protest.

Radical Islam beats his male children and indoctrinates them in his misogynistic violent ways. He homeschools them so they don't make friends outside the family or see the outside world as a friendly welcoming place. He encourages them to be his proxies in comtrolling and abusing his daughters and wife. He not only controls his womenfolk, he assumes absolute power over their lives. He decides who they will marry. He keeps them at home. He projects his lust for them onto everyone, so he clothes them in bags. If they dare to look attractive to outsiders, or to exercise their minds, or even to dare to leave the family, he and his sons think murdering them is justified.

The authorities aren't sure what to do. Should the State intervene in family affairs? What about privacy? What about the sanctity of a parent's authority of his children? But shouldn't the State protect the rights of the wives and children? Aren't they autonomous human beings? But isn't that a modern secular view? Shouldn't the State respect a family's traditional ways?
