Thread Name: Was 'Lord of the Dance' anti-semitic?
Subject: Was 'Lord of the Dance' anti-semitic?
Dear Friends,
An interesting discussion I overheard today with two friends discussing the lyrics to "Lord of the Dance".
One recalled that she heard an Anglican choir singing a set of lyrics which were openly anti-semitic naming Jews. The only lyrics I know of make mention of "pharisees". Were there other lyrics? An older version which was anti-semitic?
