Libre try reading as well as thinking,I said pedant, notice no n between the e and the d.
So if Jewish is not a religion can you be a Jewish Muslim .?
Brian
Okay - you wrote pedant and I read it as pendant. You got me there.
I don't know if a Muslim can be Jewish.
I don't pretend to have all the answers.
I just know what I am.
I'm Jewish.
I've been Bar Mitzvahed and circumcised, but I don't worship God, or pray, or keep the Sabbath holy.
I do eat matzoh on Passover and fast on Yom Kippur, because I choose to. I think there is value in doing so, and I enjoy our traditions.
Maybe there is more to this than you've given consideration to, Brian.
Maybe there is more than 1 kind of American regardless of what you choose to watch on TV.
But do you really think that "the media" portrays Americans this way?
I'm sure you can distinguish between fiction and non-fiction in the media, can't you - and without being told.
I dispute the fact that the media portrays Americans in any one way or other.
Have you seen President Obama in the media?
Have you seen Stephen Hawking in the media?
Have you seen Jay Zee, Ice Tea, Snoop Dog, Lady Gaga, Arnold Schwartzenegger, and Bugs Bunny in the media?
Did you think they were portrayed all the same?
