Which Way is Mecca? Monday, December 27, 2010. Build Respect for Christmas"? Respect Goes Both Ways! Anyway, I hope everybody else enjoys their holidays as I enjoy mine. If that's not enough respect for some people then maybe they need to learn to respect my space. In any event, happy new year. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Build Respect for Christmas?

http://jackfertig.blogspot.com/2009/08/let-moon-fighting-begin.html
Which Way is Mecca? Sunday, August 02, 2009. Let the Moon FIGHTING begin! Any Islamic month starts the night of the first visible crescent moon. What's "visible" remains an open question and when we start Ramadan fasting, and celebrate Eid at the completion of the month can be a point of some conflict. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Which Way is Mecca?: October 2007

Which Way is Mecca? Friday, October 12, 2007. How the T got into GLBT.". In his blogs Gay lawyer John Aravosis asked "how the T got into GLBT." He should study some GLBT history. They're the ones who started our movement. It would be more accurate to ask how butch fags and lipstick lesbians overtook the movement started by radical trannies. Trannies at Compton's Cafeteria in San Francisco in 1966 started demonstrations that made huge strides in raising awareness of GLBT issues. Now some "incrementalists"...

Which Way is Mecca? Thursday, May 08, 2008. Westerners often talk about wanting a “Muslim Reformation.” In fact it has already happened, and the people who want it the most would probably agree – if they knew Christian history, let alone Muslim history, that it is not necessarily such a good thing.

Which Way is Mecca?: September 2009

Which Way is Mecca? Sunday, September 06, 2009. It's not about economics! Today I read of the passing of Al Gordon, a true hero in a great way and his tribute is in the LA Times. On one day he was my own personal hero, but I confess, this story is much more about me than him. I only met this gentle warrior briefly when he got me out of the Hollywood Jail, and I've never had the opportunity (or thankfully, the need) to see him again. Well, we’ve been kicked out of better places… or have we? 8221; Seeing w...

Which Way is Mecca? Friday, January 23, 2009. This is not for the squeamish. It is one of the most disgusting, awful things I've ever read - a letter from Barbara Lubin who is in Gaza bringing medicines and food. I've long said that Israel is better than the Nazis, but that's too low a standard. Now I can't give Israel even that much credit. You can help get food and medicine to the Palestinians by donating to the Middle-East Children's Alliance. January 23, 2009. Today I visited Jabaliya Refugee Camp an...

Which Way is Mecca? Thursday, November 20, 2008. Respect" after Proposition 8. One has to wonder whether it’s sheer chutzpah or some utter vacuity that allows so many people who supported Proposition 8 to ask in saccharine tones why I can’t respect their rights when they’ve just dealt a blow to mine? Am I supposed to kiss the boot that just kicked me? And my love and I just want our civil rights. Fine Marriage is only between a man and a woman? Within your church that’s OK, sure! But the fact is that mar...

Which Way is Mecca?: July 2010
http://jackfertig.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Which Way is Mecca? Saturday, July 24, 2010. In the new film, “Agora,” Rachel Weiss plays Hypatia, an atheist astronomer in 4th century Alexandria who is persecuted by the Christians who are taking power. After the movie a quick check online revealed that there is more historical fact in this movie then I would have guessed. Still it is clearly more concerned with drama than history! But no Muslims in this story… or are there? The architecture is Roman/Egyptian, but the clothes and arid landscapes are cl...
