evangelists work every day to sabotage the bridges

Please. Evangelism doesn't threaten anybody. If you don't agree with an evangelist, tell him or her (politely, if possible) "thanks, but no thanks." They don't carry guns. I'm Christian and have been "evangelized" by Mormons and the "Watchtower" hawkers; they haven't converted me and it's never left a scar on my body. Stop crying wolf by suggesting that evangelism by any religion is wrong or dangerous. At most, for those who don't like it, it's a nuisance.

I'm just explaining the perception. Jews in the US have a lot more contact with evangelicals than Muslims, and therefore many perceive the problem of evangelicals to be more acute.

Me, I'm a philo-Christian Jew who is trying to forge a solid alliance. But evangelicals turn the contact between the two groups into an adversarial situation, and force Jews into a position of having to defend their faith against conversion attempts.

You mean: it's a [recurring] nuisance. Often around 6am or so.

Although I'm both non-Jewish and non-evangelical, I agree 100%. The Jewish folks need to be more concerned with suicide terrorists than harmless people handing out Bibles, Books of Mormon, and whatever other groups like Jehovah's Witnesses hand out.

If they don't like evangelicals, get a big barking dog - they do a good job of keeping the Mormom kids and Jeho Witnesses away.
