    Sorry, why is this US politics? Did I not understand something? It looked to me like it took place in Isreal?

    Orthodox Jewish youths burn New Testaments in Or Yehuda

    City's deputy mayor initiated bonfire of missionary-distributed material, held next to a synagogue in town.


    See article at link:

    My first thought is, "So what? They're words, written on paper. It's not like it happened here, or that it's important."
    My second that is somewhat truncated compared to my first thought, in that it consists of simply, "So what?".

    I presume it's a correlation to the Koran-burning thing which has caused quite a ruckus in the American political scene.

    "Sir, The Jews are burning the New Testament!"

    "Are the Muslims doing it?"

    "Not yet sir."

    "Why do we care?"

    "Don't know sir."
