Orthodox Jewish Youths, The New Testament, Fire

Burning the New Testament of the Bible

In case you were wondering what the love we pour out to Israel has wrought, from the International Herald Tribune:
Orthodox Jews set fire to hundreds of copies of the New Testament in the latest act of violence against Christian missionaries in the Holy Land.

Or Yehuda Deputy Mayor Uzi Aharon said missionaries recently entered a neighborhood in the predominantly religious town of 34,000 in central Israel, distributing hundreds of New Testaments and missionary material.

After receiving complaints, Aharon said, he got into a loudspeaker car last Thursday and drove through the neighborhood, urging people to turn over the material to Jewish religious students who went door to door to collect it.

The books were dumped into a pile and set afire in a lot near a synagogue, he said.
Just in case you were under the impression that Islam was the only religion that wasn't on the table with Christianity.
