					<description><![CDATA[Actually, the real Puritans were not the dour down-in-the mouth people that popular wisdom would have them.  They were sincere, honest, and (dare I say it) fun-loving (though not like the current connotation which implies immorality).


The main difference between them and the terrorists is that they were honest, hard-working, and sincere believers.  All things that the terrorists are not.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Not enough stories urging the little tykes to kill Jews is my guess.

Seems like everything is haram in Islam except killing the infidel.  If that is not the case, and if Muslims want us to think well of Islam, lest we start doing to them what the radical Muslim militants do to us, then they had better get rid of these bloodsoaked puritans, the militant Islamists.

Hmm, I may be wrong to call them puritans.  The original Puritans were fun-loving, tolerant, peace-loving people by comparison.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I stopped short at the idea of Palestinian folk tales. The Palestinian Arabs aren&#039;t even a folk, except to the extent that they share the attribute of having been rendered stateless by their Arab brethren (most of them were Jordanian until Jordan disowned them).

But then the article makes clear that the book consists of folk tales &quot;narrated by Palestinian women.&quot; Hmmm. Suppose I were to retell some German folk tales. Would that convert them into Jewish-American folk tales?

The fundamental basis of Palestinian Arab identity is ferocious anti-Zionism. I wish they would stop disingenuously pretending otherwise. I&#039;m not at all persuaded by the article&#039;s &quot;educated guess&quot; about the reasons for banning the book. My &quot;educated guess&quot; is that there may have been a story or two in there about peacefully co-existing with people different from oneself.]]></description>
