Harry, after reading the article and your responses to various
posts, I jist have to ask- are you shoving anti-religion down people's throats?

Just curious...

Harry is against religion everywhere except Israel where he thinks a
direct connection between church and state is acceptable and it is OK
to impose their religious beliefs on the people living there.

Specious.

Israel was established as a Jewish nation. The United States was not
established as a Christian nation.

I am not against religion. I am against religion/religious beliefs
dictating laws, regulations, what is taught in public schools, et cetera.

I am glad you warned us that your statement was going to be "Specious"
before you started writing it.

If the US is paying $6 Billion a year to prop up the zionists,

Who said we are supporting "Zionists"? Israel is a Nation or a State
isn't it?

It is a church masquerading as a state...

Now that is funny!

The only thing "funny" is watching you atheists justify spending
billions of federal dollars promoting this religious state and then
getting your pantries in a wad if someone wants to put up a nativity
scene at no cost to the government.

One more time:

I am not an atheist.

A distinction without a difference if you carry their political
agenda.

One more time:

This country has a long history of supporting nations with official and
semi-official religions.

I asked for examples, particularly in the last 50 years after the
atheist/agnostic movement became a political force.

The top 5 in military aid are Israel, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and
Egypt.

That in one theocracy and 4 military dictatorships, 2 which are
controlled by the US pentagon (maybe 3 depending on how you score
Egypt)

I would ditch all FIVE.

When you expand that to humanitarian aid you see SE Asia and Africa
represented.
We gave over $4 billion to Vietnam and $3 billion to Turkey, then the
numbers start falling off fast.
.

You asked for examples of nations we have helped *despite* their having
official or semi-official state religions. Your query was not on how
much the aid we give them costs.

Nations where the Muslim religion is official include:

Afghanistan, Algeria (Sunni), Bahrain, Bangladesh, Brunei, Comoros
(Sunni), Egypt, Iran (Shi'a), Iraq, Jordan(Sunni), Kuwait, Libya,
Malaysia (Sunni), Maldives, Mauritania (Sunni), Morocco, Oman, Pakistan
(Sunni), Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia (Sunni), Tunisia, United Arab
Emirates, and Yemen.

Have we helped any of those nations?
