Dershowitz merely hates Islam more than Christianity.
That is it precisely.
If Islam were only threatening to simply the US and not his Jewish identity as well, he would be far less concerned.
He is no damn good.
I don't view Islam as simply an enemy of Christianity (which it is). I view it as an enemy of my country first.
I'm going to bed, I'll respond to all Dersh-defenders manana. (if there are any)....there sure aren't any Jews on FR who think like he does thankfully....that I know of.
Despite his sense of Jewishness, he obviously doesn't think much of Orthodox Judaism either. He believes G-d is "a work in progress" (!!!) and insists that Jews should find their raison d'etre(sp?) in "social justice" (the fact that most advocates of "social justice" support the Arabs merely illustrates that Dershowitz, like the "palaeos," is a hypocrite who "crosses the street" on the issue of Israel). He also says that while the Bible was "ahead of its time" in its day, it is now outdated (so much for his classic Jewish education), so that Jews continue their ancient mission by attacking its outdated concepts just as their ancestors sought to impose them back when they were "ahead of their time." This seems to be the basic liberal Jewish definition of the Jewish mission. The thing is, in a random, meaningless world (which most liberals of every background believe this is) any sense of "mission" is merely a Nietzschean imposition of one's will on others.
