Author Howard Rotberg

Important. Spread the word. Received by email:

I am writing to you in the hopes of you writing a few words of support for Canadian author Howard Rotberg. He was invited to give a lecture at a Canadian book retailer on his book, The Second Catastrophe, when pro-Palestinians supporters showed up and caused a disturbance.

The book retailer cancelled the lecture and later issued a press release accusing the author of racism. Consequently, his books are no longer being carried by Canada's largest retailer and his good name is being unjustly maligned. Howard Rotberg decided to fight back and his trial is set to start August 27th and 28th.

He is more or less been on his own and left hanging in the wind. He could use all the support he can muster. I have written a blog post for him but I would like to enlist your aid as well. I don't need a link to my piece, a few words about his case, or even a suggestion to buy his book would go a long way to help. He also has just starting blogging and his blog can be found here.

Cultural 'elites' bash Easter

Cultural elites have launched a blizzard of attacks on religion during one of Judaism's and Christianity's holiest time of the year. Would they have done the same during Ramadan?

An excerpt from Culture and Media Institute:

Beginning on February 26, the news media and arts community have fired a stunning barrage of criticism at religious beliefs, religious practice, and religious symbols. Nothing is too sacred to attack this year, not even the most crucial teachings of Judaism and Christianity.

A History Channel program scheduled for Easter Sunday will question whether the Bible is
God’s complete revelation to mankind.

The current – Holy Week – issue of Newsweek teases readers with the headline “Is God Real?,” and features a debate between a prominent evangelical pastor and an outspoken atheist.

An April 3 New York Times article dismisses the story of Moses parting the Red Sea as a “myth.”
Newsweek’s March 19 cover story, “The Evolution Revolution,” showcases the latest evolutionary theories attempting to explain the development of humanity without God.

The news media have promoted not one but two different Gospel of Judas books in the past few weeks, along with a purported secret gospel written by Mark.

The arts world has mocked Jesus with a life-sized, nude, anatomically correct sculpture made of chocolate, and a papier mache sculpture portraying Him as Illinois senator Barack Obama.

On March 4, the Discovery Channel took the prize, by broadcasting a documentary claiming to have disproved the foundational belief of Christianity: that Jesus rose from the dead.

These are holidays of deep religious significance but the media is becoming more bitter in their attempt to become more powerful. The rest of us, like the lemmings that we are, have followed the medias trends of political correctness and relativism because now the seeds of self-doubt have been planted and we do doubt everything. We doubt our own President, our right to defend ourselves, the Israeli's right to defend themselves, and even our God.

What a detestable accomplishment the media has made, to tell us, to insinuate that there is no G0d. If there is no God, then elites can carry on their adulterous affairs, and steal from their clients. It's a great ruse.

America's attitude of 'we're right and you're wrong', and defence of national sovereignty against Muslim terrorists, communism, and nazism, are embarrassing reminders of the kind of conviction that elites no longer feel able to express. To deny God is one way to avoid feeling powerless.

I mourn for the once-great United States of America.
