Little bit of History :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Amin, you forget that Jewish is a race in addition to a religion.

Yes - but then there are black Jews too. It is a combination of tradition, race, religion and language that brings them together.

English is a nationality and as my fellow countrymen claim a sub-race. Not a religion.

Also I do not have a problem with Israel NOT being a secular democracy. In fact I think its a good thing.

king of the Jews

It is only a Christian claim that reference is towards Jesus. But not true. Jesus was hardly more than a rebellion - that most Jews shunned.

Unfounded sarcasm - because you could not disapprove that Israel is secular. It isn't. Fact.
