Carol, When Boruch Goldstein murdered the Arabs at the Tomb Of The Patriarchs, there was not a single Rabbi who did not publicly condemm the act from the pulpit, as being totally and unequivocally contrary to Jewish Torah law. Our religion holds human life to be sacred, and can only be taken in self defense. I did not hear of a single Muslim Imam who condemmed the acts of 9/11 from the pulpit or chastise their congregations for dancing in the streets in celebration of this tragic event. Muslims were killed in the twin towers along with everyone else. Maybe human life is not as sacred as Arab nationalism. SOL ZELLER
