(1) In the second part of the article (March 12), the columnist tells the story of the Book of Esther and concludes, "Since then, the Old Testament, the Jewish holy book, requires the Jews to glorify this holiday and show their joy. This joy can only be complete with the consumption of pastries mixed with human blood."
(2) Al-Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), March 10, 2002.

Sad, pathetic propaganda.
That being said, I will have difficulty eating jelly donuts for a while.

On the website "Islamic Republic", thirty people are following up this article by replying "Judaism is the religion of PEACE", occasionally followed by a "</sarcasm>" tag.

oh.....so that's what they mean by KOSHER.
I wonder of a diet rich in such pastry would make one more inclined to work for the NYTimes, or other mass media outlets...lol

Now the bad news, Doc. Long after Islam has been relegated to the dustbin of extinct, failed cults, Judaism will still be going strong. Live with it.

Hi, van... I see Billthedrill has posted a handy link to my 179+ reply-laden post of this yesterday. Hope you have a fireproof suit handy!
But seriously, people need to see this crud to see what we are up against.

An Iranian Jew I know was taunted and beaten by Muslim boys who repeated this odious slander to him back in Iran. Finally, he took a piece of matzo and asked them, "If we use blood to make this, how come it isn't red?" They couldn't answer him of course---they just beat him harder. He's here now, and welcome.

I can remember my old Jewish grandmother complaining: "Oy! Finding goyischer blood for the Purim Hamentashen is such tsouris!"

This is a rather belated reply to the article you posted, about the "blood libel" against the Jews from the Saudi cleric. It is very extremist stuff. No doubt one should keep an eye on hate speech, but I think it needs to be said that this guy is obviously a fringe thinker. Such views are marginal in the Middle East. He is sort of what "Christian Identity" is to real churches. A more influential view of Muslim thinking on Jewish food laws can be found on this site. (Link posted below). I offer this site because these are hard-line, quite fundamentalist Islamic clerics (not liberals) who apply the food rules very legalistically. However they also make refence to Jewish rules, and respect Kosher certification. In some of the halal questions, they cite Rabbis opinions and respectfully defer to them. http://www.albalagh.net/halal/col4.shtml

"The human race refuses even to look at the Jewish pastries, let alone prepare them or consume them!"(2) Well, that's because Italian pastries are better, frankly, although I did once find one of Joey "Twopockets" Provenzano's thumbs in one of my panettone.
This muslim propoganda ranks right up there with Protestant claims that Catholics sacrifice babies on the alter and use the nuns for prostitutes.

Um, let's see... I'll take 6 AB neg, 6 O pos,

Goes to prove the sheer insanity displayed by people in that region.
Time for a thermo-nuclear cleansing.

Ping! Fox News Channel just ran a short news segment based around this story, complete with:
o A synopsis of the "blood for Purim" story, with a statement from MEMRI's director
o An Arab-produced video clip "showing" Sharon ordering the assault-rifle execution of half-a-dozen-or-so bound and kneeling Pali prisoners, each with their own executioner
o The standard rebuttal by a U.S.-based Muslim spokescreature (CAIR? them, or a similar group), saying "no one in the Middle East pays attention to this stuff" (Then why does it seem so common, in a part of the world where the government controls the press, and the people largely hate us? Perhaps because of government-approved propaganda like this.).

"For this holiday, the victim must be a mature adolescent who is, of course, a non-Jew DAMN! I always heard it was the blood of innocent babies they took! MUST people change everything? (sarcasm)
