JERUSALEM (AP) — An Israeli lawmaker has torn up a copy of the New Testament in front of cameras in his parliament office.

I sometimes get unsolicited religious material from Jehovah witness's, I just put them in the trash, I don't feel the need to call a press conference to witness it, unless I had some other agenda

How dare you Jos, I will behead you.

I don't throw the JW stuff away----I read it I like WATCHTOWER----all kinds of information in those pamphlets----HOWEVER in israel there is a real problem with aggressive christian missionaries who simply REFUSE to leave people alone. ----and there are actual laws against missionizing There is a lot of HISTORY involving missionizing----about which jews are very very sensitive. Did you know that simply handing a bible to a muslim in a shariah country is a capital crime? Lots of jews lived in muslim countries I know jews born in muslim countries who would not even utter the word "koran"------it could have gotten them in DEADLY TROUBLE back there -----they could have been accused of <gasp> INSULTING THE 'PROPHET' <gasp>---------my own husband is one of them. There are jews who carry a family legacy of being forced into christianity too----LOTS OF SENSTIVITY over the issue of missionizing----thus it is illegal in israel. The person who mailed the bible actually comitted a crime-----a minor crime -----but a crime nevertheless

Religious Israeli lawmaker tears up New Testament - Yahoo! News

Did you show outrage when Muslim Palestinians barged into the ancient church of Bethlehem, took the priest hostage, and used the New Testaments, some of which were artifacts, as TOILET PAPER?

stop being dense......why is there such a double standard toward jewish behavior when it comes to this?

Dense?

What double standard?

A Muslim has no use for the KJV and I wouldn't have a problem with them tearing it up.

Same thing with a Christian. They don't use the Qu'ran. So what if we tear it up.

Freedom is for everyone, so there is no double standard.

Fine I'll go get hammered on malt liquor and throw some fire bombs in the street in outrage over what this man did, cool?

Save a moltav cocktail for me
