We shouldn't allow it in relation to Jews, and we shouldn't allow it in relation to Muslims. I personally do not mind the occasional snarky comment about religion; but in that instance it is generally about *all* religion and does not single out one group. There is no "off-topic" problem. This is a manufactured issue meant to serve as a pretext for what is essentially parasitic behavior. The one proposing that such an issue exists has shown little to no interest in providing a meaningful contribution to the on-topic threads. He is no doubt here primarily to get attention and to stir the pot; ie, whatever he was here for a year ago, he is now here to troll. Once this is recognized, we can deal with the matter in the way that this kind of thing is normally dealt with -- summarily and with little comment. Eric
