CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I just finished "The Coffee Trader" by David Liss. I can't say enough about this man's books!
I read his first book, "A Conspiracy of Paper" when it came out back in 2000. "The Coffee Trader" was his 2nd book.
It is set in mid 17th century Amsterdam. The Dutch were just becoming familiar with coffee. It's a GREAT story and adventure.
Mr. Liss is Jewish, so he focuses heavily on the Jewish culture in Amsterdam in the time period. The main family in the story have fled The Inquisition in Portugal and found refuge, as did many Jewish families, in Amsterdam.
Both "A Conspiracy of Paper" and "The Coffee Trader" will give you a very good picture of life in those times and cultures.
