So you are attempting to point out that there are extremists? Of course, in any religion, there are. Didn't Jerry Falwell say that 9-11 happened because of our overly permissive society, blaming it on homosexuality, staying out after dark, and non-fat lattes? Does the psycho ward let you have internet access 4 hours a day or 5?

Dual Muslim loyalty, or maybe dual Jewish loyalty? Nah! According to this survey, the majority of Jews cannot be accused of having dual loyalties because their first loyalty clearly belongs to Israel. In a 1978-80 survey of 443 American Jews in a "leadership training" program at the United Jewish Appeal, 70% of respondents reported that they were more emotionally moved by listening to Israel's national anthem (the Hatikvah) than the Star-Spangled Banner (another 7% "weren't sure" about it). Particularly noteworthy was the Jewish leadership response to the statement "The primary loyalty of American Jews must be to the United States and their fellow Americans." Over 50% (58, 52, and 56 percent in three distinct groups) DISAGREED. Coupled with the "not sure" response, 77, 67, and 71 percent of these future Jewish polity leaders DID NOT agree with this statement of "primary loyalty" to their fellow Americans.
