I wonder what people would say about a culture that chops down perfectly good trees and sticks them in buckets of water to die. All the while worshiping an overweight elf in a red suit, praying that they will receive something that they can't really afford????

This is a clear example that the muslims and the jews are in the same boat.
They are the victims of fears of their own making.
So, peace now ,please, not later.
P-E-A-C-E.

"He was clearly a Hasidic Jew," said Yves Faguy, a passenger seated nearby. "He had some sort of cover over his head. He was reading from a book.
"He wasn't exactly praying out loud but he was lurching back and forth," Faguy added.
The action didn't seem to bother anyone, Faguy said, but a flight attendant approached the man and told him his praying was making other passengers nervous.
"The attendant actually recognized out loud that he wasn't a Muslim and that she was sorry for the situation but they had to ask him to leave," Faguy said.
The man, who spoke neither English nor French, was escorted off the airplane." CBC

Big Brother Is Watching !! We would like to become a society where everyone has to look a certain way, dress a certain, walk a certain and talk a certain way. Otherwise we will look upon him/her with SUSPICION. That is sad.

Hmm, according to the article ""He wasn't exactly praying out loud but he was lurching back and forth,"...
I'm sitting down to start work on a script treatment titled "Shakes on a Plane" where the mafia releases Orthodox Jews to terrorize passengers with their prayers.
