SELECTED AND SACRIFICED AT THE ALTAR OF BARBARISM? ... 1

The Jews are the most intelligent people in the world and, yet, they are the worst persecuted among races on account of their thin demographic distribution everywhere, exceptionally high order of excellence which draws the ire of envious counter-communities, political complications in the Middle East and, lastly, on account of certain scriptural prejudices of certain religions which continue to fuel anti-Semitic behaviour among fanatical adherents of these faiths against this wonderfully brilliant people whose security ought to be the prime concern of humanity.

Recent radical trends in the world against the Jews are a reaffirmation of age-old prejudice against them and a source of constant threat to their safety and security of life and property. These scriptural injunctions against the Jews ought to be expunged from these texts but who dares do it? At any rate, they ought to be rendered irrelevant in the modern world but they are very much kept relevant by fanatical adherence to divine injunction. It will take a great deal of undue suffering as yet of humanity before it learns to call 'a spade, a spade' and take appropriate action against these dangerous passages that continue to fuel hatred against this lovely community that is truly 'the salt of the earth'.
