Could a policeman refuse to help someone until he determines if he shares the same belief? How about a fireman, an ambulance driver, the pharmacist, the soldier, etc.? If it involved a mortgage, it would be called red lining and a crime. How about land use. I live in a huge development filled with a very large number of religious clubs but only a handful of Jews. The developer and management are Jewish. Should we have to pass some kind of test before he allows us to live here? What if the all businesses had the right to refuse services to any that they disagreed with? Where does it end? If we want a few examples, we could look at Iraq. In 1950 it forced its Jewish population to leave. Since the recent invasion of Iraq, the Christian minority has been killed in large numbers, particularly the males. Soon there will be only Muslims left and they can kill each other as they do not agree on a few basics of Islam. The same thing happened in Bethlehem on the west bank. It used to be a Christian city, with a Christian mayor and administration. It has lost over 60% of its Christians and is run by Muslims determined to get rid of their Christian neighbors. As I asked before, where does it end?<BR/>Bob PorisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
