Many Jewish scholars saw the matter somewhat differently:

Same can be said about global warming. Different people, even so-called scholars, can be incorrect.

Examine this scenario, it sounds like a joke line if it was not so pathetically politically correct.

A Jew with a history of blowing the whistle on religious intolerance becomes 'outraged' once again that a Christian Cross is 'found' inside a Wiccan Circle of Life constructed as a recognition of the religious rights of a few Wiccans. The AFA went way beyond the norm to accomidate the alleged feelings of a few Wiccan cadets.

Why are we surprised to discover that the sacred symbol of the very faith that has repeatedly turned the other cheek and bent over backwards to satisfy and calm the bogus fears of a few kooks is located inside the circle?

When this very same self loathing former Jew, now a Wiccan 'discovers' the very same symbol of Jesus' suffering torture and death for the redemption of all mankind, he's outraged? What are the odds?

He says he's now a Wiccan, but his compliant is pointed toward a violation of his Jewishness, not at the defilment of the Wiccan 'Circle of Life'. We can reach this conclusion based upon the example Mickey used to make his allegations. You know, so we can feel his pain. 'What if a swastika, Blah, blah, blah! Playing the Christians are Nazi's Card!

Mickey planted that cross inside the Circle of Life just as certainly as he's a confused bigot and a hater of Jesus Christ! He probably hates Jews too, why else would he employ the Nazi symbolism? Upsetting Jews in the process with his bogus claims.

Mickey can't have it both ways folks, either he's an outragged Jew or a pissed off Gaia worshipper. I don't think he believes in anything, but self promotion and gaining the attention of the MSM! May God have mercy upon him.

“Had a swastika been placed in the Jewish center, “heads would be rolling,” he said.”

So a cross is to Wiccans as a swastika is to Jews? What are these Wiccan people, vampires?

Of course. But the fact that there is such disagreement means that the jury’s out. You may believe it privately I suppose...but the matter will have to await a ruling by a duly-constituted Sanhedrin, which we haven’t had since the sack of Jerusalem.

I meant my comment as sarcasm. In order for the analogy to hold true Christians, who are symbolised by the cross, would have had to round up neo-pagans, burn them in ovens, start a world war and kill countless others. To my knowledge no one has ever rounded up neo-pagans in concentration camps and killed them...therfore the analogy is plainly wrong.

As an aside the swastika was never, to my knowledge, the primary symbol for any religion although it can be found as a symbol in many cultures.

With the revelations of extreme political correctness that allowed Major Hassan to murder fourteen people, now this.

You nailed it. Lt. General Gould, the new Superentendant is a politically-correct whack job.

I see that little prick, Mikey Weinstein, is still around trying to destroy the Academy.

And he found a polical hack, General Gould, the new Superintendant to help.

From a Jewish standpoint perhaps we should to the same with the pagan worshipper known as christians.

I'm sure that would work out well for you.
