Thomas777GUEST
But, um, but yeah, I mean, that's, that's important, and that's also, um, you know what I mean, uh, it, it's just an ongoing thing.
Thomas777GUEST
And, and like the term, you know, Marranos or Marrano, like I don't, uh, I don't, um, I, I don't know what the pro- correct pronunciation is.
Thomas777GUEST
You know, he's the one, uh, Ferdinand demanded that, you know, like all, all Jews convert and like accept Catholicism, you know, as the national religion.
Thomas777GUEST
You know, which again, it's, you know, the, uh, ironically or perhaps not, you know, Spain became the, the first truly like national state.
Roger DiazGUEST
children would be put onto our racks and they would literally pour hot oil down their throats for others to see that was the whole point of it it was a shock and It was a shock treatment.
Roger DiazGUEST
If there was a suspected reversion in a community where the Marranos were heavy, and there was someone who was suspected of reverting back to Judaism, the Inquisition would come in, the Jesuits would show up, and they'd begin the whole process.
Roger DiazGUEST
And the idea was to single out the main culprits.
Roger DiazGUEST
and bring them to trial, but also bring the family members into trial as well and get them to confess things that were not always true.
Thomas777GUEST
There was...
Thomas777GUEST
Quite strikingly, too, even there was a subpopulation of baptized Jews, so I guess could be viewed as Marranos, you know, as it were.
Thomas777GUEST
First among them was a man named Brightman.
Thomas777GUEST
He was the publisher of a Jewish cultural newspaper.
David BassousHOST
A lot of Jews converted.
David BassousHOST
Um, till recently in Greece, before the Second World War, you had a secret group of Muslims, like very much like Marranos, secret Jews.
David BassousHOST
[laughs] Can you imagine, Muslims who are secretly Jewish.
David BassousHOST
There was, recently, there was a minister in Turkey who was called by everyone a Jew, even though he was a Muslim, because he was one of-

Pete QuiñonesHOST
A- and people wanna a- people wanna say, "Oh, why were," you know, "why were they ejected from y- you know, over 2,000 locations?" I mean, when I think about that, when I think about a, a group of people that is religious and being subjected to a group that is sub, you know, sub- subjective, rational, and just basically focuses on intellect, I, I just don't understand how it even, h- how that even happened.
Thomas777GUEST
Well, that's why, well, that's why, that's why, I mean, there's a, there's a big issue with the Conversos or the Marranos.
Thomas777GUEST
Like, if you wanna, I mean, which is frankly like a, an insulting term.
Thomas777GUEST
Um-
Pete QuiñonesHOST
It just doesn't make any sense that, you know, a- and people wanna a- people wanna say, "Oh, why were, you know, why were they ejected from y- you know, over 2,000 locations?" I mean, when I think about that, when I think about a, a group of people that is religious and being subjected to a group that is sub, you know, sub- subjective, rational, and just basically focuses on intellect, I, I just don't understand how it even, how that even happened.
ThomasGUEST
Well, that's why, well, that's why, that's why, I mean, there's a, th- there's a big issue with the conversos or the Marranos, like if you wanna, I mean, which is frankly like a, an insulting term.
ThomasGUEST
Um-
Pete QuiñonesHOST
Yeah
Moshe HaberHOST
It's not, it's not, uh, it's-- your actions are not perfect until you completely remove gaavah, and therefore, you have to go to the other extreme.
Moshe HaberHOST
"K'von shetichaseh maaseicha hatovim ulehavuch mima shehaya k'vah blevecha." Show yourself as a regular guy.
Moshe HaberHOST
Hide your good deeds.
Moshe HaberHOST
"Tetepaleil katzar." When you pray the Amidah, listen, if you're a baal gaavah, you pray long.
Moshe HaberHOST
So go to the other extreme.
Moshe HaberHOST
Never show yourself like a big deal, and that means be very careful to on display seem like some- nothing major at all.
Moshe HaberHOST
I'm a regular guy.
Moshe HaberHOST
My Amidah is the same Amidah like everyone else.
PatrickHOST
An imperial and Ghibelline Christianity coincided martyrdom and the Holy Wars aristocracy authority hierarchy In other order and discipline in favor of transcendent axiological pillars, a Hellenistic Hyperborean form of Christianity found acceptance only among the Indo-Aryan Hellenic Roman aristocracy and never generally converted the Semitic people.
PatrickHOST
The Semitic, the Semites remained, if not Jewish, then Marranos.
PatrickHOST
Similarly, Islam as a heresy reinstated elements of the Semitic tradition into a new religion based on precepts and laws without reverting to Judaism.
PatrickHOST
Quote, "What did Muhammad teach the small tribes, the Arabic penins- Arabi- Arabian Peninsula? He preached a doctrinal system that was useful for the dignified survival.
PatrickHOST
The entire doctrinal system that was adored with, uh, rituals suited to the mentality of these people, providing the structural basis for Allah's revelation." One might question the functionality of Islam as denounced by Chaka for his potential exaggerations and secular reductionism.
PatrickHOST
However, it is true that Islam retains distinctly Semitic characteristics, much like Judaism.
PatrickHOST
Jews and Muslims, Marranos and Marranos had never found Christianity a religion suited as the, uh, as to the needs of their people.
PatrickHOST
Semitism never saw Christianity as a faith that aligned with its essence.
