When the news is filled with horrors committed by cowardly Islamic terrorists, you choose to focus on a bit of extreme Orthodox BS. Clearly, most Israelis do not support the extreme views. Ironically, virtual all religions from Islam to Christianity and Judaism have extreme views that are closer to each other than to the reformers and moderates within their own religion.
In any event, one can find examples of intolerance in Christianity and it Islam to match or exceed what you post. Your intent clearly is to somehow denigrate Israel. In comparison to the other nations in the Mideast, Israel is an island of democracy. Can one imagine being critical of the Mullahs, the Ayatollahs, the Arafat, the ruling tyrants, the OILogarchs, the Sheiks in Saudi Arabia, Gaza, Syria, etc., etc.
With peace, the power of the extremists in Israel will be eliminated. They get their power by sucking up to Likud. I'm hoping the same thing can be said for the other nations in the Mideast. |
