"I agree with the Jewish people there. They should have removed references to Jesus."

I'm going to assume you are Jewish. I have a question for you. Why are Jews so vehemently opposed to the mere mention of "Jesus." Why is the mere mention of that word so threatening and reprehensible to Jews? I'm betting the Jewish lawmakers have never made such a stink over the name "Mohamad."

Read my other posts and see what I mean.
I am Jewish.
I am not opposed to the mention of Jesus.
I would not be opposed to the mention of Jesus if I went to a Church and heard it.
But this prayer was directed towards the whole of the legislators, right? There are Jews and Christians there. I found it inappropriate to make a prayer that was exclusive of the Jews there. This person was invited to make a prayer to all those there.
He should have chosen something that can be said to both Jews and Christians.
