benjamin ,   singapore   (12.24.11)
2. "The best times for Jews came under Islamic Rule"
Howard Immauelson ,   US   (12.24.11)
No, the best time for Jews came when they were under no one's rule. Things may have been a bit better living under Islamic rule than Christian rule but it wasn't exactly fun times then either.
3. The weaker link
Raphael ,   Netanya   (12.24.11)
Are the fanatic haredim, such as Naturei Karta, or Ovadia Yossef's worshippers, whose narrowmindedness, supremacist prejudices and contempt towards women is so close to the Salafists' mentality.
4. Islam
Beary White ,   Norway   (12.24.11)
Convert into islam ? Those people must have lost their minds!! People should know to whom they are praying to... In Norway black magic is not a good thing...
5. Muslims do as they please yet Israelis fear to do anything
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (12.24.11)
that would offend muslims
6. Not good
Liz ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.24.11)
I want to be proselytized to by random Muslims about as much as I want to be told to sit in the back of the bus by random Haredim...
7. Go to UK where 100.000 Brits have been converted already .
Alan ,   SA   (12.24.11)
8. That is the dumbest joke, I have heared
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (12.24.11)
in a very very long time...LOL
9. Ask him if Christians/Jews can proselytise in Muslim lands?
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (12.24.11)
10. So? It's the same vengeful,narrowminded, butcher from the
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.25.11)
desert -God we're talking about! If anyone is stupid enough to believe in "our" God, then he'll probably buy anything from anyone....What's wrong with politely asking?
11. They mimicked our religion and now they want to sell it back
anton orde   (12.25.11)
to us!?!
12. This must be countered quickly!
Reuven   (12.25.11)
13. Convert mulsims
Ariela ,   USA somewhere   (12.25.11)
I say why not convert Arab muslims who are in Israel... This will bring peace.
14. These guys are either idealistic or crazy
Jonathan ,   MN/US   (12.25.11)
either way i respect them
15. #4: Islam = black magic
Jonathan ,   MN/US   (12.25.11)
NO INGNORINCE THERE!
16. imbeciles
JOE ,   USA   (12.25.11)
they may be able to brainwash some of the liberal lefties to convert and join them. and that would be great for israel . the IDF will hopefully sooner or later get to shoot them ,or at least throw them in prison where they all belong .i would'nt be too surprised to see LIVNI walking around in a veil and burka soon . what a f 'p world .
17. proselytizing
alan ,   texas   (12.25.11)
We should have a mass media effort in Israel and the territories aimed at converting everyone to Judaism. That will make the country stronger. Judaism must be taught in all schools, showing why it is a better way.
18. "i have nothing now but my husband and islam"
david ,   new york   (12.25.11)
you betcha! you are a prisioner now. no freedom, no rights, good luck every trying to leave your children are theirs too.
19. Mohammed is fiction, he never existed.
JMK ,   NYC   (12.25.11)
Koran is fiction and a total lie, every single incident within the Koran is fiction.
20. Conversion
Ron ,   oc, us   (12.25.11)
If I were to convert, Islam would be the last destination. Little more than a death cult with absolutly nothing to be proud of over the last 500 or so years. These Jewish women will be sorry in due time.
21. More Jews have been lost by intermarriage than by Holocaust.
(12.25.11)
It is a brilliant stratagem. Enough of this ineffective Jihad suicide bombing B.S., Ahmeds. You wanna take over Israel? This is the way. Look at the rate of intermarriage in the US...WELL over 50%. If each of the Jews who intermarried then proceed to have about 3 (now) non-Jewish children and then those 3 children each have 3 non-Jewish children, etc. --- by only the next generation...how many Jews have been lost forever? If not for the Aryan issue, Hitler would have smacked himself in the head had he realized how much more effective the "Love" approach has been in the disintegration of the Jewish people.
22. re conversion:
pinchas ,   boston   (12.25.11)
Interesting that the Jewish women who convert do so because they fell for a Moslem guy or because their parents didn't give them love ,or because (in the case of women from the FSU)they were they had no real connection /loyalty to Judaism. So: Jewish love and and Jewish education seem to have been deficient in these cases. Is anyone listening??? Interesting, too, that there are apparently no gung-ho Jewish men eager to missionize Moslems., analogous to this Moslem outreach group. Why not? Why not spread Judaism to non-Jews and take the offensive, instead of always shying away from conversion and being so defensive and insecure about the "threat" of Xian missionaries?
23. just look at jewish history and compare it to today
zionist forevr   (12.25.11)
Wars to take the country, slavery, persecution, forced conversion, expulsion from foreign land. Look at Jewish life today. in Israel today, wars because enemies want the country, anti semitism, attempts by other religions to convert Jews. I think the only thing that's changed in thousands of years is the enemies and the fact there is now a Jewish homeland that's strong enough to fight potential invaders and win before its invaded.
24. Some looney people will believe anything, hard to help them.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.25.11)
25. Change the law !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.25.11)
And don't allow ANY religion to proselyte , even not adults .
26. Humanitarian islam
zivron   (12.25.11)
Islam has its humanitarian aspects that some islamists keep and they are righteous people like the families that shielded jews in the Hebron Massacre of 1929. We cannot allow the HatersOF Humanity to deny this .But before and during ww2 islam failed miserably in its duty to offer refuge in all its lands to the Jews of Europe how will the ISLAMIC PROSLETIZERS explain that .
