Sophiee:

Rabbi Cohen has to ask why xians and messy-antics supported such a work of utter lies and distortions as "The Return of the Kosher Pig"? Doesn't he and others who have to deal with that ilk realize that these xians/messy-antics have an ENTIRE canon of "scripture" (the NT) which is an opus of the same exact thing? The NT itself is a collection of lies about the Jews and their Rabbis; slanderous filth about Jewish practices; utter wretched blasphemy concerning the nature of G-d and His "real" reason for giving the Torah to the Jews; and contradictory accounts on even the basics of xian faith (70 internal inconsistencies alone with the crucifixion/resurrection accounts in the gospels). Why WOULDN'T they support such a book as "The Return of the Kosher Pig"? Haven't we all heard the axioms of "birds of a feather flock together", "water seeks its own level" or "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"? Didn't these same 'birds' also praise Rabbi Schmuley's "Kosher Jesus"?

Did Rabbi Cohen truly think that "Rabbi" Shapira was "kosher"? If such a charlatan would claim linkage to the Jewish people via dubious means, why would it be surprising that his "erudition" would be anything less than underhanded and self-servin (read: a sham!)? After all, "Rabbi" Shapira espouses a religion that for 2000 years has done so even with its own "scriptures" and is a "rabbi" of a branch of xianity whose very genesis was conceived in deception and mockery in the late 1970s. It's all part of this deluded "generational deception" as to the validity of this "messy-antic" movement.

As long as this xian/messy-antic abomination can find a means to "debunk" the "rabbis" and an ignorant audience in which to peddle their wares, they will always be in total agreement; despite how incredibly asinine their "erudition" becomes. They're banking on the same outcome as with their NT; that most will never take the time to actually research the claims, nor really care to do so. Simply said.. once a claim (however false) is made loud enough and long enough, the masses will lap it up as truth---especially as it relates to the Jews and their teachers. As one scholar pointed out, you can say ANYTHING about the Jew and it will be believed.. in fact, the more outlandish and incredible, the more it will be believed. So should this really surprise you even in this so-called "enlightened" age? They are the most hypocritical---they blast the rabbis and sages yet their all their practices/rites as "Jews" is predicated on that which was/is for want of a better term, "Rabbinic". Yet they will paradoxically state the opposite. They speak out of both sides of their mouth. Yet they claim they just "lo-oove" the Jews.

However, I think there is more of a insidious agenda to this and I must insist that I am not a conspiracy theorist. Over the years, it seems the enemy of the Messy-antic movement (real or imagined) isn't the Devil or sin or even other xians (who have come to see the Messy-antic movement as nothing more than a sham). The real enemy it seems is Torah-Observant Jews. Look at the level of hatred and animosity hurled at observant Jews in Israel by these Messy-antics, especially in the community of Ariel. JewishIsrael.com followed the libelous charges Messy-antics have leveled at Torah-observant Jews, and the court case both sides were involved in. I mean, the amount of hatred spewed by these damnable Messy-antics at Jews is downright Medieval but these messy-antics love to play the victim. and it was this victim status boo-hooing which gained an audience and support by the xian community in America when this level of hyperbole was served up steaming hot on Pat Robertson's "the 700 club"; showing the xian world how Messy-antics were being "persecuted" by Orthodox Jews.

Make no mistake that the reason the Messy-antics would support such LIES (as in "The Return of the Kosher Pig" and the works of Dr. Brown) is that such publications (akin to the pamphlets in Medieval Europe) make Messy-antics the victim of Jewish "Rabbinical" persecution; the same lie that is spun by their co-religionists in Israel. However in Israel, it appears the Messy-antics are gaining ground by pandering themselves as a persecuted minority, yet they are not even Jewish or Israeli! Yet that is their goal, to have the Israeli government protect this non-jewish abomination from Jews who continually expose this movement for what it is--an abomination and a deception which seeks to convert as many Jews to xianity as it can but yet calls itself "Jewish".

So of course, they'd support this type of book because it adds just another brushstroke to what they see as Observant Jews' "blind devotion" to "the Rabbis" and "Rabbinic Judaism" and in presenting Jews as such will afford the Messy-antics xian (and Jewish) support and sympathy as these Messy-antics see themselves as persecuted by these followers of "the Rabbis"; linking them back to the Pharisees (as depicted in the slanderous NT) who xians/messy-antics claim persecuted the first xians of whom they (xians/messy-antics) claim to be spiritual descendants.

Thank G-d, however, we have people the world over who can systematically and categorically debunk the filth of these Anti-Semites...and they ARE Anti-Semites.
