Jews criticize Interfaith commission for ignoring non-Semitic sysstems

Jews condemn European Commission & Parliament for snubbing Hindus


Rabbi Jonathan B. Freirich, prominent Jewish leader in Nevada and California, supporting the cause spearheaded by acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement said that Commission and Parliament leaders should study their constitutions carefully to find the words "equality" and "fairness" written somewhere and grasp their meaning.Rabbi Freirich argued that it was not the job of Commission and Parliament to prefer one religion over the other or ignore some of those completely in interreligious gatherings. Commission and Parliament officials needed to go back to school to take "Comparative Religion 101" and "Interfaith Relations" classes.The Jewish leader further said, "How could one ignore Hinduism, which is one of the oldest religions of the world with about one billion followers and a presence in every country of Europe? Hindus have made many positive contributions to the European community and believe in peaceful coexistence."
