RE: "...that mini-series was a sequence of episodes on what is best described as a soap opera."

Yes, it was not an historical account. It was a dramatization based on the historical material. Does that excuse Egyptian state TV?

RE: "...which reminds me of..."

This is a very poor comparison. "Blood libel" meant that Easter time was pogrom time. You know, the "Christ killers" are at it again for Passover.

RE: "Fortunately most of this stuff is transitory..."

I will not buy a Ford car. Henry Ford was a notorious anti-Semite. I believe it is very likely that anti-Semetic materials he published were read by Adolph Hitler.

RE: "...another piece of trash..."

I presented anecdotal incidents. I believe that if I could read Arabic and had access to text books and speeches given in the mosques, the incidents would not be anecdotal, but endemic.

RE: "genetic markers"

I consider people's behavior. I don't think the gene pool matters.
