New World Order Here We Come! . . .The One World Religion is poking out it's head. . . and guess who is at it's head. . .a jew. . .
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4800194.stm Last Updated: Monday, 20 March 2006, 03:53 GMT Rabbi calls for 'UN of religions' By Danny Wood BBC News, Seville The Chief Rabbi of Israel, Yona Metzger, has called for the creation of a world body with representatives from the major religious groups. Rabbi Metzger was addressing the International Congress of Imams and Rabbis for Peace in Seville, Spain. He called for the formation of a "United Nations of religious groups". The Imam of Gaza, Imad al-Faluji, said politicians lied but religious leaders had a different objective - to work towards a higher good. The imams and rabbis at this conference, which opened on Sunday, say the world is in crisis and it is time they acted to restore justice, respect and peace. Straight talking The delegates have made it very clear that now is the time for concrete initiatives. At the opening ceremony Rabbi Yona Metzger said his idea of a "United Nations of religious groups" could "bring a bridge between religions to help the bridge of the diplomatic way". That plan has broad support from key participants like Frederico Major, the co-president of the Alliance for Civilisations, the lobby group for international conflict resolution, supported by the United Nations and initiated by Spain's Prime Minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. The speeches at this conference rather than using polite, diplomatic language have at times been brutally direct. When the Rabbi Metzger harangued mainstream Muslims for not standing up to Osama bin Laden, Islamic leaders nodded in agreement. Both Muslim and Jewish leaders have shown a preparedness to take criticism. There have also been strong expressions of opposition to any killing in the name of religion. At the end of the opening ceremony, the Muslim delegation sang an oration to the Prophet Mohammed before resuming discussions about the ideas they plan to present to their Jewish counterparts. The religious leaders have three days to come up with a manifesto that aims to convert their words into actions. |

Also, one of the most effective propaganda methods in Asia was to establish “teachers” to teach reading and indoctrinate people at the same time. The prestige of the intellectual - “marked with God's finger” - allowed political assertions to appear as Truth, while the prestige of the printed word one learned to decipher confirmed the validity of what the teacher said.

You really are a glass-half-empty guy. The purpose is to allow people of varying faiths to get along. It is a way for people to keep to their individual faiths without getting into nasty fights, also allowing them to get together for common causes (such Beastly acts as <gasp> charity). At what point are they trying to establish a world religion? All they are doing, which might very well conflict with your motives, is keeping different faiths from destroying and fighting with one another when they do have common ground.
But of course it's the same argument you have with the UN and with democracy itself. In your mind, it seems consensus is oppression and slavery. Funny. I'd prefer consensus to war and hostility any day. Amazing how we in the West sometimes take it for granted.
