Reply #9: So is it safe to assume that the hate-mail would be coming from "Christians"?

It's too bad the subject line didn't allow the "wanna-be missed-the-point-of-tolerance" prefix I was going to put on Christians because, of course, it's not all Christians who are driven mad by the inability to set up the United States as a Christian Nation.

  The Rabbi was right, if the airport wants to put up Christmas trees which are uniquely Christian symbols (as I understand it) there's no legal or Constitutional reason why Judaic symbols or Muslim symbols or Pagan symbols or Subgenius symbols, etc., should be excluded. Putting this on the Rabbi, like it's somehow his fault, is bullshit and this hate-mail campaign is definitely from a Christian-supremist point of view.

  The ADL is an organization has been caught in the past comitting illegal acts outside of their stated purview and generally I condemn their less-than-even-handed approach to revealing bigotry. But they're certainly well-funded enough and have an infrastructure which would allow them to research if there was a campaign (something started by a radio personality, perhaps?) to hound the Rabbi for merely asking for equality under law. I would love to find out who's behind this, because it's probably some Right-Wing Christian group who would happily spend equal amounts of time sending hate-mail to Muslims over something similar.
