What is this Ecclesiastes? I know of מגילת קהלת, (Megilat Kohelet), but Ecclesiastes? Who comes up with these names that have nothing to do with the actual original name?
The books of the torah take their names from an important aspect of the first lines of the book.
Bereshit:Genesis makes sense.
Shmot:Exodus does not. Shmot means names. Exodus means leaving.
Vayikra:Leviticus doesnt really. Vayikra means 'and he called'. Leviticus means Law.
Bamidbar (in the desert) vs Numbers. ???
Dvarim (things) vs Deuteronomy (second).
SERIOUSLY, WHO COMES UP WITH THESE THINGS?
My booze drinking, bacon eating raised in europe from immigrant Islamic parents friend convinces me that undue alarm is being risen.
Same here. My area has a very large muslim population, and we have had ONE terror scare, with 11 people out of over 150,000 in toronto alone. People started freaking out, and guess what? NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. Most muslims are either religious or completely non-religious, no real middle ground, but the religious ones are generally non-extremist. I have met 3 extremist muslims ever, out of hundreds, but people are STILL freaking out.
