33. First of all...

"they view Rahm as an apostate as evidenced by his involvement in politics, which they see as prima-facie proof of non-conformance with Judaic principles." How do they view the state of Israel, which is deeply involved in "politics"?

My view is that Orthodox Jews are certainly free to express their belief, eventhough I may view it as oppressive. The issue is, should religious laws be made into governmental laws when they discriminate against other people (and other religions)?

Also, how can he claim that gays are not a persecuted minority in light of the Holocaust?
