The whiney "fundamentalists" too often cover up their egregious behavior by making such claims as this.

So now term "fundamentlist" is extended to JEWS?

A Messianic Jew is a Jewish person who believes that Yeshua (Jesus) is their Messiah. Some people think that a Jewish person who believes in Jesus is no longer a Jew. But what could possibly be more Jewish than believing in the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua?

Sounds as if the Messianic Jews consider themselves Christians, too.

Um, well, they said "Messianic Jew." My understanding of the term is that it's yet another fundamentalist "Christian" sect that holds church on Saturday and does the whole "Mosaic law" thing.

And fwiw, why can't a Jew be classified as a "fundamentalist"? I think that term can be applied to ANY religious practitioner who exhibits certain traits.

To be sure, the radical Islamists are "fundamentalist Muslims."
