"...I thought it imprudent of him to identify himself as a Jew to a total stranger..."
So are Jews to start hiding?
I have worn a magen David for over 30 years now. And I don't bother to tuck it under my blouse. I am in the process of converting just now, and I am not planning on hiding; I am planning on fighting if necessary. And I think the time is coming when we are going to have to do just that. This is just awful!

This is just awful is right.......I didn't have a clue Rasti's were brothers to Muslims. I don't hide who I am or what I believe in for anyone or any reason nor should you. None of us should live in fear...... But when dealing with kooks and wanna be terrorists I draw the line. I would just refuse to let some scummer driver like that make me live in fear. His arse needs to be deported and maybe we need to see if Jamaica is harboring terrorists. God knows they seem to be all over the place..... I am so sick of them and the killing. If we don't put an end to them now we are never going to be rid of them and life as we know it will not be the same for our children.... I truly believe Islamics has been planning for awhile to try this BS.... I will be d@mned if I will ever wear a burka. We need to deport more of these religion of peace people and their families, stop allowing them into our country and say enough is enough.

"So are Jews to start hiding?"

That is the point...Americans of all stripes have no need to hide in America. The writer needs to do three things:

a. open his eyes to the real world around him and outside of his pampered enclave. People ARE out to get him
b. grow a pair...he writes like my grannie
c. Take responsibility, buy a gun, move if necessary, and remember most folk, most real americans, do not allow the sort of abuse he received. We don't put up with it. Call the company and complain.

This reminds me of conversations I have with my way out there leftie sister (actually works for the Washington Post). She is constantly saying things that simply are not so, and easilly disproved. She does it because all her friends do. She never hears a different view, she suffers from the 'false concensus effect' in which she believes her views are majority opinion. This guy is setting himself up for a fall if he does not hear that some folk ARE out to hurt him, and that his faith is now the subject of world wide hate, even amongst the pampered elites he represents.

Pretending there is no problem is not the same as solving the problem.

:"I am planning on fighting if necessary"

Great...Maybe after you convert you could get some of your fellow Liberal Democrat Jews to convert to Conservatism?

In my eyes there seems to be some kind of mental illness inherent in Jews that has them supporting the very people that would have them wiped out.

I'd give you 100 to 1 that the guy in the cab was a liberal. I mean both of them. And it never occurred to either one.

"So are Jews to start hiding?"

No. And neither are Christians. It is because of the cynical nihilism and counter-culture of Europe throughout the 20th century that has silenced too many religious people. The Islamic Imperialists saw this as both a death of the faith and a weakening of the will to defend -- if not the faith at least the right and respectability of the people to practice their faith -- and they pounced.

We need just the opposite of hiding. We need to get loud and defend both Judaism and Christianity, calling sponsors and anyone else who may offend us with anti-Judeo-Christian bigotry.

By the way, though I do not know what is in this Rasti's heart (that's for God and JC to judge), nothing he spewed had anything to do with Christian theology, but everything to do with the propaganda spread by Leftist totalitarians (e.g., Marxists, Stalinists, Islamic Imperialists), none of whose goals were/are religious but are wholly of world power.
