Future of the Past |
<excerpt>
"At first glance, it looked to be a triumph of the human spirit. There,
at a joint news conference last week in Jerusalem, stood the patriarchs
of the rival faiths of the Middle East -- Israel's chief rabbis, the
deputy mufti of Jerusalem, leaders of the Catholic and Armenian
churches -- Jews, Muslims, and Christians, together at last.
And the cause that had united them? A gay pride festival scheduled for
August in Jerusalem. The leaders of religious orthodoxy had come
together to help ban the festival. Interreligious harmony reigned as
historic enmities gave way to a common loathing of homosexuals."

Yup, find a common enemy. This is the same thing that united Nazi Germany
in the 1930s.

"[They] have always behaved like that, or so all the tales say,
when they are on their own. But you can't get much hope out of
it. They hate us far more, altogether and all the time. If those
two had seen us, they would dropped all their quarrel until we
were dead."
