One day Napoleon and the czar of Russia were talking about their respective Jewish populations. The czar proudly said: "In Russia, we have government-sponsored pogroms, we draft young Jewish boys into my army and we stomp on the filthy Jew whenever possible."
To which Napoleon replied, "Really? In France, we have Liberty, Equality and Fraternity! Jews are full French citizens, free to participate in society, indistinguishable from the rest of the citizenry."
The czar was aghast. "How can you allow them to carry on like that?"
Answered Napoleon: "Look - you kill your Jews your way, I'll kill my Jews my way."

I wish we had a system where anyone who would act to kill another would actually themselves end up being killed. There was an episode with the same theme on an old BBC show, Red Dwarf.
A lot of people here are obvious trolls or just ignorant and hateful people. Anyone can come and anyonmously post whatever garbage they want, it takes a real man to stand up against such bigotry, on either side of the religion debate. Make no mistake about it, this isn't about the Jewish people or arabic people, they're the same racial group at heart (not the European Jews, of course) and they're beef is with the "wrong" religion of the other, as well as the the displacement of Palestinians from the land they had been living on.
Anyone who wants to kill another person, ANYONE, b/c of race, religion, creed, is less than a man in my eyes.
