Most Jews Don't Seek Erasure Of Christian Or Muslim Peaceful Theologies.

There are a number of faith strands (and further pan- or quasi-pan-faith mindsets) in Christianity; ditto in Islam, and in Judaism…there really is no “go to” guy who speaks for the whole of any said faith, insofar as mortals.

 

As concerns religions and race, Christianity has had followers spanning the entire globe; Islam has had followers of many walks, but seems predominantly made up of Arabs, Africans, and nations such as Pakistan…itself partitioned out of Hindu India by the UN in 1948, same year the UN created Israel, many Hindus then informed as new Pakistanis the State religion would be Islam run by the State leaders. What I mean by this is that neither Christianity nor Islam has any one race to which their faith is exclusive. In contrast, whereas Judaism has Orthodox and Reform strands, still it seems mostly comprised of people of Hebrew ancestry.

 

This is not sufficient to say most Jews, or ethnically diverse Israel, practice(s) religious bigotry against the globe’s non-Jews.

 

In 1907, then emergent Reform Jews, in their “The Pittsburgh Platform”, said of other Abrahamic faiths: “We recognize in Judaism a progressive religion, ever striving to be in accord with the postulates of reason. We are convinced of the utmost necessity of preserving the historical identities with our great past. Christianity and Islam being daughter religions of Judaism, we appreciate their providential mission to aid in the spreading of monotheistic and moral truth. We acknowledge that the spirit of broad humanity of our age is our ally in the fulfillment of our mission, and therefore we extend the hand of fellowship to all who operate with us in the establishment of the reign of truth and righteousness among men”.

 

These Reform Jews in the same “Platform” said of Christianity and Islam: “ We reject as ideas not rooted in Judaism, the beliefs both in bodily resurrection and in Gehenna and Eden (Hell and Paradise) as abodes for everlasting punishment and reward”, their point being ala Orthodox/Conservative Jews God chastises Jews while on earth, on opinion a Messiah (and such Messiah only) would come only to set up a true Zion for Jews.

 

So Reform Jews saw Christianity and Islam as Heaven-breathed (“providential”), just wanting to go on record as saying that God had sent such people apart from Judaic prophecies, yet Jewish hearts were open to goodwill notwithstanding.

 

Conservative Jews of the 20th Century chafed at Reformers. In his address “The Charter Of The Seminary”, Solomon Schecter (1847-1915) as president of the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, said: “Nay, the very seer or prophet must bring his imprimatur from the Torah”…his point being belief that not even Providence authored anyone respectful of Jewish faith unless Jewish prophecy specifically identified all the how’s and why’s, and simply were not to be either provoked or religiously entertained. In other words, he rebuked Reformers through representing nothing could relieve a JEW of wholly Mosaic traditions and Law.

 

Now, curious as the squabbling of Reform and Conservative Jewish majorities are re outsiders, one notes that whether expressing desire to reach out or desire (ala USA Amish) to completely disengage from the rest of the world, there seems to be no manifest modern Jewish desire to conquer or eradicate any race(s) or religion(s) of any kind; contrast that with, say, Hamas, being but one group within Islam, which like 1930’s mobsters running towns insists ALL their folks adore them, and actually makes exterminating Jews part of their manifesto.

 

To recap, Islam and Christianity are too racially diverse to say they also qualify as singular races; modern Jews show no credible plan to conquer or eradicate anyone; and amid weak global economies, everyday oppressive regimes invent whatever cheap rhetoric they can to reinforce their poor domestic behaviors…killing even Muslims in 911, in attacks in diverse Israel, or otherwise.

 

Indeed, malice is a personal mindset, not a racial or religious protocol or trait.
