. At Passover, "the blood of Christian and Muslim children under the age of 10 must be used,"

Wonderful. I have to ask... what did they use before about, say, 18 AD? ROFL...

Bizarre, absurd and repugnant. But the writer is correct that it probably isn't seen as quite such laughable nonsense, in some quarters... and I suspect the dead hand of the madrassahs is cultivating just such gullibility.
Of course Sharon's bloodswept past, and recent declaration that what's needed to stop the intifada is more Palestinian blood, won't help stop these canards.
