I never knew Sydney Carter, but I knew the religion that he chose - Quakerism. I read one of his books. I saw him interviewed. I can only appeal to any of his friends out there to defend him from what is being said about him in this thread.

If you are choosing to translate 'the holy people' as the Jewish people, and to interpret The Lord of the Dance as an anti-semitic tract - all I can say is that it seems like a terrible slander.

It didn't seem to me that he was like that.

It is possible to interpret the Bible itself as an injunction to do murder, insomuch as people have done it. But it takes a fairly malicious nature to do such a thing.
