Fundamentalism is fundamentalism whether its Christianity, Judaism or Islam. It's all idiotic and in some instances downright dangerous.
But if we're really intellectually honest, it would be very difficult to make the argument that a small minority of idiotic fundamentalist Jews compares in any way to what we see in the Islamic world.
In Israel these people are BREAKING THE LAW .. and are at least supposed to be arrested or as in the case of the Canadian woman who was attacked on a bus, they are hauled into court.
In the Islamic countries, it's hardly against any law.
Just read Ayaan Hirsi Ali's book "Infidel" if you need some proof of this.
But more importantly why was this article even posted here?
MODER8 's point was :
"As time passes, Israel increasingly resembles its religious extremist neighbors."
"The only difference being that Israel is Jewish, and the neighbors are all fundamentalist Islamic societies."
"At what point does the behavior within Israeli society begin to affect the level of support the U.S. provides?"
But all the above are just blatant lies.
As time passes, Israel increasingly resembles its religious extremist neighbors?
Really?
Had you only read the article instead of using it to further your racism MODERN8 you would have seen this:
"The violence has already deepened the antagonism between the 600,000 haredim, or God-fearing, and the secular majority, which resents having religious rules dictated to them."
600,000 ?
And to you this resembles Egypt or Syria or Hezbollah in Lebanon where this sentiment represents not a small minority of 600,000 but the law of these lands.
You are either really stupid or have an agenda.
The answer to that is here:
"The only difference being that Israel is Jewish, and the neighbors are all fundamentalist Islamic societies."
So to you its all about Israel being Jewish?
Jews have some sort of privilege? What exactly do you mean MODERN8?
Why not explain exactly what you mean or do you want to keep the illusion that you aren't an anti semite?
