Jag, "Have you read passages in the Talmud which say that Christians should be killed?" No I haven't, but if you would post it I'd like to read it. I would like to hear in what context the statement was made since the earliest Hebrews, and the Jews of today abided by the Ten Commandments. "Thou Shalt not Kill" is the one that comes to mind in this discussion. I'd be curious to know what reasoning was possessed by whom to negate one of the holiest of Jewish laws. For the Talmud to suggest it is ok to kill would certainly be a radical contradiction of the Old Testament. But, tell me please. Aren't Jewish children still taught the Old Testament and the Ten commandments? In my travels through the world I have learned this much about the most ancient religions. The Doctrines of most major religions have theologies that are often self-contradictory. For instance, here is a website that highlights some of the contradictions of the Koran. carm.org And here's another website that discusses many contradictions of the Bible. infidels.org I don't think the important point here is what some Rabbi wrote a thousand years ago. The important point is do the Jews of Israel teach their children to hate Christians, Muslims, Hindus....whatever. My belief is no, but if you know otherwise I'd like to hear it. Unfortunately, I do know that Muslims very explicitly teach hate. Yesterday, I watched a news report about a Hezbolla TV broadcast in Lebanon. The report showed a play where Muslim children dressed up in costumes and espoused anti-Israeli invectives. One of the children was wearing a mock dynamite vest. Doesn't "Islam" mean peace? Personally, I don't think this compares to what some Rabbi said a zillion years ago, but nonetheless I'd like to see your post.
