One other point... the
only reason for pointing out the "Jewish" identity here is to make sure the REALITY challenges the MYTH that "all terrorists are Arabs" or claim to be Islamic followers.
There was a shameful kneejerk assumption regarding the Ok. City bombing and we'd do ourselves great harm to think simply "profiling" Arabs would end threats of terrorism.

McVeigh and Rubin represent less than one percent of one percent of the Christian and Jewish populations respectively. They are condemned by everyone who matters in their respective communities. Not so for Osama, he has hundreds of millions of supporters. McVeigh and Rubin didn't qoute their bibles after what they did, because their bible doesn't support such actions. Osama qoutes his bible all the time, because his bible does support such terror.
