I think the christian god is supposed to be lighter skinned than the muslim one. that said, muslim fanatics share many similarities with their christian brethren.

I suspect that the evangelicals just want to get the ball rolling on their version of sharia law and then quibble over the details.

JHVH is pretty dark-skinned, a damn sight darker than the Euro-centric depictions of J to tha C.

Luckily, modern evangelicals are too busy worshipping at the altars of Unrestrained Power and The Almighty Dollar to worry about the color of their god and/or savior failing to jive with their bigotry.

Blame the fundies. Jesus was supposed to be "the new covenant", but that "do unto others" and "love thy neighbor" bit doesn't have exemptions for murdering gays and promiscuous women. Thusly why they harken back to Leviticus, and the old Judaic laws, for justification for bigotry and evil in Jesus' name.

Incidentally, it's hard to paint your chosen subgrouping as blameless when they won't seem to stop pouring support and money into an apartheid regime, but that's an argument for another thread.

Oh behalf of some other American Jews, I'd like to point out that many fundamentalist Jews have many of the same beliefs about homosexuals and women as fundamentalist Christians and Muslims. So hiding our heads in the sand isn't really cleaning our house, is it?

Pretty much no, because he wants to limit women's reproductive rights, end divorce, end abortion, and end non-reproductive sex. What they fail to understand is that it will be a dirty Papist in office, and I seem to recall how well folks thought of putting Kennedy in office for just that...

Of course, Rick isn't a fan of Kennedy. Apparently in order to be a good Catholic in his mind, you have to be a close minded bigot. Which is perhaps why so many folks seem to taking to his message...

Well, if they use the Moses written one, they could pass it off as "historical"

They do indeed.

Fortunately, they have very very limited powers of persuasion or political influence outside of Israel. In America? Barely a blip on the political radar, especially when 70-80% of American Jews don't vote for the fundy candidate.

Theaetetus: So hiding our heads in the sand isn't really cleaning our house, is it?

Not hiding my head in the sand at all. When Rick Santorum or Michele Bachmann or Rick Perry says "Judeo-Christian" they mean "Christian" in every way shape and form. They just don't want to sound as bigoted as they are so they use barely-inclusive language to soften their Christian dominion rhetoric.

They mean "a la carte Paulites who use the Bible as a fig leaf for hatred, greed, and bigotry". Their target audience only claims pretension to Christianity, it damn sure doesn't live it.

WTF is Judeo-Christian, you may as well call it Judeo-Christian-Muslim.

If you cannot say Judeo-Christian-Muslim, then you cannot say Judeo-Christian.

If you're a jew, you're not a christian and you're not a muslim. Vis a vi, etc:

About the only thing they have in common is a link to the Babylonians.

Calling him out on web media via an unknown comedian isn't exactly the same as Wolf Blitzer interviewing Keith Ellison on The Situation Room.

The author is trying to not come across like a Christophobe--so he's turning the whole "Judeo-Christian" myth back on Santorum and his ilk who love to use the term to speak in place of American Jews. Santorum has no connections to any aspect of Rabbinic Judaism. He certainly never speaks of Talmud and wouldn't know Halacha if it bit him in his santorum.

"4. No porn! I'm not kidding. Santorum signed "The Marriage Vow" pledge (PDF) authored by the Family Leader organization, under which he swears to oppose pornography. I think many would agree that alone should disqualify him from being president."
