There is no basis for your racist claim to what Muhammad Adaya’s facebook image represents. Educate yourself:

The keffiyeh is a traditional headdress typically worn by Arab men made of a square of cloth (“scarf”), usually cotton, folded and wrapped in various styles around the head. It is commonly found in arid climate areas to provide protection from direct sun exposure, as well as for occasional use in protecting the mouth and eyes from blown dust and sand. Its distinctive woven check pattern originated in an ancient Mesopotamian representation of either fishing nets or ears of grain.

Islamophobia is on the rise and I would recommend some form of therapy to help overcome your anti-muslim rants. Dennis Prager is on the right path, there’s no right or wrong day to facilitate diplomacy and peace.

I’m not jewish, but I like listening to Dennis.
To answer Pamela Mitchell, no, Dennis is not an attorney.
And he’s also not a frothing hater, the likes of which are clearly evident in these posts.
May God have mercy on your souls when your time is up.

Dear Mr. Prager: I go home for a break, between musaf (additional prayer) and mincha (afternoon prayer), every Yom Kipper that I have the strength to go to shul for shacharit (morning prayer). Some years, I just have the strength to go to na’ilah (concluding prayer.) I never use the break to eat or watch TV. Usually, I take a nap. There are better ways to spend Yom Kippur than touchy-feely chats with Jew-haters.

The entire Salem line-up is very odd. “Conservatives” who seem subtly and consistently apologetic, with a need to appeal to liberals and to convince them that they are (unlike those “other” conservatives) reasonable, rational, sophisticated, intellectual, compassionate, in other words, “liberal at heart”. Gelatinous.

To skZion, I remember that debate between Dennis Prager and the late, great Rabbi Meir Kahane. It was perhaps the only time that I ever heard Prager lose a debate. I think that was the real reason why Dennis Prager has been against Rabbi Kahane all these years, because Prager’s ego was bruised when losing that debate. Now that Rabbi Kahane’s so-called extremist views have been proven to be so true, I wonder if Dennis Prager can find the humility to admit to being wrong.

I am a long-time admirer of Dennis Prager, ever since I started listening to his talk radio show back in the mid-1980’s. He is great when it comes to discussing politics, male-female relations, and arguing the case in a general, philosophical way for the Judeo-Christian outlook on life.

Having said that, there are very definite holes in his character, one of which is his war with traditional, Orthodox Judaism. I can imagine in my mind him reading this, and responding how various Orthodox Jewish groups invite him to speak all the time. What he fails to mention is how much those same Orthodox Jewish groups object to Dennis Prager’s take on Judaism. It really all comes down to his own big ego, his unwillingness to submit to G-d’s Will, due to his worship of himself. If you listen carefully enough to his radio show, it becomes clear what a total narcisist that he is, constantly referring any topic of conversation back to himself. He is at his best on the radio when talking about issues, and worst when he engages in self-promotion.

There is no valid excuse for him having that radical moslem at his Yom Kippur services, or even those Christians, for that matter. He is stubbornly holding on to the days when he was host to Religion on the Line, but should not engage in such self-indulgence on the holiest day of the year for Jews. And of course, showing any respect whatsoever for that islamofascist terrorist undermines everything that Dennis Prager claims to believe in.

Mr. Prager, I see no “hatred” here whatsoever – just extreme disappointment and disgust with your decisions to embrace some fanatic Muslim on our Holiest day. For you to blame the destruction of our Temple on people who are rightly disgusted by your decision, is absolutely absurd.

I used to appreciate some of your work, but now I’m going to have to seriously reconsider my views on it, and you.

Perhaps Dennis feels that this could be an opportunity for Levent Akbarut to have a spiritual awakening and transcend his anti-semitism.

Just a thought.

Dennis Prager clearly should know better. The day of Yom Kippur has nothing to do with a “dialogue” between Jews and the others and the same logic that correctly condemns replacing the 9/11 memorial with “community service day” stands in this context as well. It is the kind of fundamental mistake Dennis Prager normally does not make. Indeed, we all make mistakes and perhaps it is wrong in the spirit of the holidays to not condemn Prager for a mistake WE would not make. Please. We are always entitled to judge others actions (please go right ahead and judge MINE!!). To draw a trivial analogy, the NY Yankees will not bring in representatives of the Boston Red Sox for their next board meeting. Their “interfaith” event happens during the year–all the time. Ever more so that our holy day cannot be diluted with appeals and compromises with radical Muslims or even temperate ones. In context of many of Prager’s previous stands–this event stands out like a sore thumb. Perhaps he will cancel.
