Anti-semitism's useful idiots - National Post Dec 22

Anyone who contradicts the dictums of Islam is subjet to a fatwa or sentence of death. Jews don't do that but they can excommunicate other members. It seems to me that Jenny Peto and her fellow travellers should be excommunicated. By allowing her to maintain that she is Jewish - like her grandmother - we are weakening the Jewish nation. Excommunication would indicate how far distant she is from her grandmother and the rest of the Jewish people.

This is not limiting the right to free speech but applying reasonable consequences to harmful free speech.

Another comment on Saturday's National Post

The letter in the National Post re Two-Way missionizing refers to the Jewish belief that God is the chosen people and therefore Judaism is an exclusive religion. On the contrary, it is not. Most Jews believe that Jews are chosen to spread the word of God, not to be special, and as the joke goes, most of the time they wish He would have chose another group. Jews don't missionize, they welcome people of all races. There are Black and Chinese Jews as well as White Jews. T.R. Simon, the writer of the letter to the editor, is relying on prejudices for his information. He should look up the facts or at least speak to Jews, other than the ultra-orthodox, about what it usually means to be "chosen".
In another comment on the letters to the editor it is suggested that we look at the facts of today's world to see if Islam is a peaceful religion. Using that test, it obviously is not. In the same way we can look at Judaism to see if it was "chosen", in which case you must ask for what, or whether it was chosen to spread the word of God, which, looking at Christianity and Islam, it obviously has done.
