US Jews feel threatened by religious right

CHICAGO (Reuters) - U.S. Jewish leaders say they are increasingly worried that Christian conservatives want to turn America politically and culturally into a country that tolerates only their brand of Christianity.

"There is a feeling on all sides that something is changing," said Abraham Foxman, director of the New York-based Anti-Defamation League.

"The polls indicate a very serious thing -- that over 60 percent of the American people feel that religion and Christianity are under attack," he said on Thursday in an interview.

"Some are saying we are attacking (Christianity). This whole movement is not anti-Semitic or motivated by anti-Semitism. But sometimes unintended consequences are much more serious than intended" he added.

STP: Jews aren't the only ones who feel threatened by the Christofascists. Many moderate and liberal Christians feel the same way, too, especially Catholics who know some right-wing "Christians" think Catholics aren't Christian.

STP to Catholics: open your eyes to those Christofascists who are using you for repuke votes, only to leave you out in the cold once they assume absolute power. They want to outlaw the church.
