I couldn't agree more with you on many points. I tend to just have a problem with your ideas saying:

""Anyone who speaks the Torah truth, who speaks of the uniqueness of the Jewish people, who declares the Oneness and Omnipotence of the G-d of Israel is subject to ridicule, and worse, arrest and imprisonment""

I will explain to you how this sounds to others. If I say to you by reversing the situation:

"" Any one who speaks of the Quran truth, who speaks of the uniqueness of Muslims who declare the oneness and Omnipotence of the God of Unniverse is subject to terrorism accusation, arrest, imprisonment""

what would you say will be what the other is sayying reading your comment.

I think that we are in the era of SUVs and Nuclear Power Plants. States today in all the world must be based on citizenship and the obedience of the laws local and international. Much respect for human dignity and rights..I just seem to picture you like an extreemist Muslim from the Cartoons Protesters in Pakistan..what is the difference? both of you are living in the era of fighting with swords..all of you live in the era where Noah picked up the seeds and animals and went to Bahamas..the era when a man used to have 400 wives without any need for Viagra. You re living in the era of kindney garden.

Why don't people just leave the religion at home and enjoy the SUV era?
