Sullivan (#23) writes, "Yes I had recently converted to Islam from Catholic Judaism and in fact am very happy about my belief in Allah. " Solomon Schechter used the term "Catholic Judaism" as we today would use "normative" or "mainstream", but I suspect Sullivan is from a mixed Catholic and Jewish background, which would explain why he's so screwed up. Why anyone would want to voluntarily adopt a supremacist theology like Islam is beyond me.

revolution is usually an action done by the opressed against the opressor to seize power.. in your case, who are you reovlting against?!

all religions are supermacist. It's beyond me why anybody would want to adopt any!

not only artists, but also scholars and scientists, and bascially all people who choose to think for themselves and not be slaves for selfish leaders who strive on their stupidity.

therefore I used to concider myself a Catholic Jew. as you probably know Jesus was a Jew before he converted to Catholicism and so all of his cheep. i used to like to be Irish Catholic because all my friends a relatives were Irish catholic jews, but when I met my husband everything changed. He became extremely angry at me and I got some pretty bad beatings. i was resistant to his arguments but then I watched a movie about prophet Mohammed PBUH and everything changed in a second. Next day I said my shahada and the rest is history.

You are one sick puppy. I believe you're posts are only intended to stir up the pot and receive negative responses,which you seem to welcome. Are you attention starved or is your gay arab husband not slapping you around enough? Sorry..gotta go..my gag reflex is cutting in.

The message ending the article falls short of the following: and for those who have attained citizenship: without loyality one would be stripped off his citizenship and expelled from the country.

I remember, as a child in England after World War II, how my "loyal British" Revisionist parents and their Revisionist friends were delighted with the blowing up of the wing of the King David Hotel and the hanging of the British segeants

You never miss an opportunity to equate Etzel with terrorism, do you? Even when we are talking about citizens who have the right to vote in an israeli democracy and whether they should or should not sympathize with terrorism committed against the state, you manage to introduce the issue of bombing of the king david. Do us all a favor and take your meds already and stop obessing about the king david, it was a long time ago you looser.

In fascist Italy and nazi Germany artists were anything but left-wing pacifists, including the very talented ones, simply because the cultural fashion at the time was very macho. Artists, and especially performers, are seldom that intelligent or capable of autonomous thinking, but they invariably need to be approved, so they stick with the dominant thought, only louder.

betrays a level of ignorance that makes the veins in my wrists tremble in horror..

and Israel Beiteinu our LARGEST PARTY. Hear O' Israel...

Typical of the secular hating rightwing orthodox your have it all wrong. Meretz promotes a 2 state solution not the one state of the extreme left(and right), Meretz hates religious coersion not religious people, Meretz wants the settlers to return to live among the rest of us for everyones benefit, Meretz pushes for much of the economic social security much as Shas does.
