31. Missed the point
Clearsighted ,   Boston   (01.11.14)
Most of you commenters missed a singularly significant point in this article. story," (Sorry, Jamie and David Clarke, the truth is never venomous. It is simply the truth.) While I certainly can't claim to know what is in the hearts of these particular Muslims in Bradford, I just can't avoid being cynical when I read a "wolf becomes vegetarian" story. This synagogue is in a beautiful "MOORISH" (i.e. Muslim architecture) building in need of significant repair to preserve it. The current membership is rapidly shrinking and is down to only 45 very elderly Jews who will all die off soon. Then the benefactors will end up with the Moorish building. Healthy cynicism is essential to self-preservation. In the bigger picture, I would rather be alive and wrong than dead and right.
