The ADF needs to accept that they do not have a monopoly on Jewish related items. The Messianic Jews are legitimately Jews, and a secularist organization like the ADF should be the first to recognize this. There was no attack on Jews or Judaism implied in this. Contrary to the belief of some Jews, baptism is not a violent act, trying to share the message of Jesus Christ as Savior with Jews is not a form of anti-semitism, and Messianic Jews have just as much right to claim to be Jews as Orthodox Jews. This is especially true here in the United States where we have free exercise of religion and no government establishment of religion. If Jewish groups want to share their message on religion they are free, but to attack how other religions chose to express their own religion within their own Church, especially by a group like ADA that seeks to get government and public force to change others actions, is just wrong.

That little scenario seems to have been in really bad taste.
