There are more violent hate crimes against jews than against Muslims, for starters.

It’s also important to remember that 100 years ago, when Westerners had separate bathing, Muslims were still trading slaves and practicing polygamy, things that they still do in various parts of the world.

What are the chances of the Americans electing an atheist for president?

It is not a theocratic state. That is a ridiculous accusation.

“when taken to their extremes”

Bibi is not a religious leader, and the Israeli occupation is not a religious war. It’s really depressing that you, supposedly a Jew, cannot tell the difference.

In Israel there are religious athletes who do not want to compete on the Sabbath. This is rightly seen as a problem, when these athletes start demanding that competitions be rescheduled to weekdays. Religious people are welcome to practice any sport they choose, but the moment they start shoving it in everyone’s face…

How many Christians conceal their wives with a chastity garment in accordance with their holy book?

It’s upsetting because this isn’t progress for the US. Nobody ever prevented Ibtihaj from competing, nobody except Muslims. So this is slight progress for Islam, nothing more.

Politics at an Ali funeral seem more than appropriate. This is just a good reminder that as charismatic as Ali was, his personal views were not as brilliant as people made them out to be.

No, there was a sky burial on 9/11/2001.

To be precise, the guy presents himself “as a representative of American Jews.” I still think that is pretty pompous of him just like it is pompous when Netanyahu claims to speak on behalf of all Jews. Lerner should’ve spoke on his own behalf, or maybe given the Jewish perspective as he sees it.

Ali’s daughter is married to a Jewish guy, and they have a kid.

why? what’s his solution for radical Islam?

Isreal did not withdraw from the Golan Heights. They withdrew from southern Lebanon.

None of those MLS guys turned down offers from European clubs, like Morris did. Klinsmann is punishing Morris exactly for this.

My point was that Landon wasn’t missing against Belgium, but that he was missing in every game that they played in that tournament. The USMNT lacked creativity and experience, things that Donovan had in spades. Donovan’s absence meant that everything the team did, they did with one hand unnecessarily tied behind their…

First of all, he might have made a difference. There’s really no way to know. Maybe he would have put away Wondo’s chance, maybe he would have helped maintain possession. Maybe he wouldn’t have. We’ll never truly know because that happened in an alternate timeline.
