LA Times Letter: Jewish Newspaper for Christian Sharia
Terrell Roberts of Northridge, Calif., argued in a letter published in the Los Angeles Times Friday:
It is strange that the conservative forces behind the drive to make us fear Sharia are the same ones that are trying to impose their Christian version here (anti-gay rights, anti-abortion, abstinence-only education and so on).
. . . .we just had a conservative newspaper in Israel delete Hillary Rodham Clinton’s image from the picture of Obama administration officials in the Situation Room during the Osama bin Laden raid. . .
In fact, the newspaper that deleted Hillary Clinton’s image was American, not Israeli. As the Associated Press reported:
An Orthodox Jewish newspaper has apologized for digitally deleting Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from a photo of President Barack Obama and his staff watching the operation that killed Osama bin Laden.
The Brooklyn weekly Di Tzeitung (deet SEYE’-tuhng) published the image last week.
“It is strange,” (to borrow Mr. Roberts’ words), that he points to the activities of an Orthodox Jewish newspaper to argue that “conservative forces behind the drive to make us fear Sharia are the same ones that are trying to impose their Christian version here.” (Emphasis added.) Faulty logic aside, the factual error warrants a correction.
