Associated Press reports, via Fox News, some orthodox Jews in Israel burned hundreds of copies of the New Testament Bible last week.JERUSALEM — Orthodox Jews have burned hundreds of New Testaments in the latest act of violence against Christian missionaries in Israel.Uzi Aharon, the deputy mayor of the central Israeli town of Or Yehuda, says he got into a loudspeaker car last Thursday and urged people to turn over hundreds of New Testaments and missionary material recently distributed by missionaries.The books were dumped into a pile and religious students set them afire in a lot near a synagogue, he said.The Maariv newspaper reported Tuesday that hundreds of students took part in the book-burning.
What interests me isn’t the fact that the Bibles were burned, nor the fact that it was orthodox Jews, whose memories of “Kristallnacht” are faded now, who did the burning.No, what caught my attention is the fact that there were no mass riots reported across Christendom.No raging protesters marching in the streets waving placards demanding that the perpetrators of this sacrilege should be burned at the stake.No calls from Western governments for the destruction of Israel as a consequence of this horrific insult to Christianity, the Apostles, and St. Paul.No rioters rampaging through Rome, Ramstein, Rzeszow, Hrodna, Rouen, East Rutherford, Richmond, or Little Rock demanding the insult be avenged.Dogma aside, there is a fundamental difference between the intolerant dictates of Islam, and Christians’ approach toward our fellow man. It is a difference well worth keeping in mind. especially by those on the Left who are themselves pretty consistently intolerant.
