God bless him. — Daniel Lapin
In school they told me I was a Jew, "a filthy Jew." At first I asked myself what exactly that was. But then I began to understand.

Anti-Semitism is not based on strictly religious grounds and is not directed against the Jewish faith as such.

The five points of yama, together with the five points of niyama, remind us of the Ten Commandments of the Christtian and Jewish faiths, as well as of the ten virtues of Buddhism.

They are the foundation stones without which we can never build anything lasting. (127) — Swami Satchidananda

America rejects bigotry. We reject every act of hatred against people of Arab background or Muslim faith America values and welcomes peaceful people of all faiths - Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu and many others.

Race and color should not divide us, because America is one country. — George W. Bush
My faceless neighbor spoke up: “Don’t be deluded. Hitler has made it clear that he will annihilate all Jews before the clock strikes twelve.” I exploded: “What do you care what he said?
