    Do We Really Need This Kind of Bigotry?

    As someone who is an IRL Jewish person who is often involved in the Jewish community, I have seen many Jews moving rightward, including myself. And I'm speaking of the political spectrum, not the observance spectrum necessarily. Many of these secular people will not probably not even attempt to...

    Do We Really Need This Kind of Bigotry?

    I think you make a fair point. But OTOH, Jews don't have Saudi oil money nor a 1.5 billion person Ummah to back up such efforts. A strong Jewish education is what's needed ATM.

    Do We Really Need This Kind of Bigotry?

    TBH, I don't have a simple answer to this. From what I've seen IRL and online, a fair number of people convert to Judaism where there are sizeable and robust communities (Tarheeler and jewscout on this forum come to mind). It has helped create some growth and popularity in the USA and Canada of...

    Do We Really Need This Kind of Bigotry?

    I do not really either condone nor condemn the idea of proselytization. Judaism is a faith which recognizes that people are different enough from one another that the world will never be united under the guise of a single monolithic religious organization. I think as such it doesn't really make...

    Do We Really Need This Kind of Bigotry?

    I mingle w/ "outsiders". I believe that "breeding w/ outsiders" is ok if they convert/join the community, or even to a lesser extent if they intend to give the children a Jewish upbringing and education. Secular liberalism though tends to encourage people to leave their culture and/or community...

    Do We Really Need This Kind of Bigotry?

    Yes they are allowed to quit- to be a part of and partake in the Jewish community is generally a voluntary thing (and to an extent always has been). But that doesn't mean we should compromise our views on such actions for the sake of feel-good morality. And as such quitting doesn't change their...

    Do We Really Need This Kind of Bigotry?

    So basically the gist I get is... It's not bigotry to HAVE a (religious) culture, but it is bigotry to want to PRESERVE it- especially so if you are European whitey or a Jew. And it's bigoted to not see the rules and customs of other (religious) communities as equally applicable as yours to...

    What does Judaism have to do w/ "racial purity"?

    Do We Really Need This Kind of Bigotry?

    Really? Anyone can become Jewish. No one can "become" white.

    Is ISIS a disaster for all muslims?

    This is why I think sola scriptura- be it Islam, Judaism, Christianity, etc, is ********.

    Do We Really Need This Kind of Bigotry?

    How is it not an imposition to say that Jews should see Islamic customs as equally valid in their applicability as Jewish ones to Jewish people?

    Do We Really Need This Kind of Bigotry?

    According to Islamic law she is, according to Jewish law she isn't. So again, why should Jews have to believe that Islamic customs apply equally as Jewish customs to Jews?

    Do We Really Need This Kind of Bigotry?

    Why should Jews have to see Islamic practice as equally valid as Jewish practice for Jews?

    ISIS officially has 50,000 troops

    A terrorist Wahabbi state that has existed only 2 months or so amassing that type of manpower (and still doing so) is pretty impressive and frightening, nonetheless.

    I can honestly say....

    All people are heretics.
