...it is true that European Jews were less than clean. But why? Was it their religion that made them so? That seems unlikely for a people who must have two sets of dishes for dairy and non-dairy...that´s a lot of extra work plus two sets of dishes. People that ritually clean and fussy can be expected to bathe and wash their clothes...unless they lived surrunded by Christians, in ghettos where there was no water supply, thereby forcing them to go outside, to the Chritian quarters where the communal pumps and fountains were located.

Periodically European towns were hit with cholera outbreaks and other issues dealing with the water supply...and how did Chritians react to such outbreaks? Guess. They said the Jews poisoned the wells, naturally. It could NEVER be that their own filthy ways were responsible...no, it MUST be the Jews. After all, people so low as to kill a god (huh?) would be just the type to poison the wells of the followers of that god. Except of course that Jews had to get water from the same wells, or would if they didn´t run just such risks as being blamed for Christian filth and outbreaks of disease.

The safest course for Jews was to limit the number of trips they made to the wells, and so maybe they had less water to lavish on washing, needing it for food and drink instead...and even by not going to the wells as often as they would have liked could have shown they were less likely to poison them, still it would only tke one trip to do it...and from that point on the less frequent use of those wells could be proof to the Christians that they really had poisoned them, and maybe had a "secret" source of water for themselves...or some such nonsense.

It wasn´t their religion which resulted in Jews of the ghetto being unclean...it was the lack of water in the ghetto, plus the fact that they even had to be locked up IN a ghetto, and all of it the result of the Christian religion, and not Judaism.

Likewise with Islam and Muslims...it isn´t THEIR religion that is responsible for the position they find themselves in which forces them to fight back and then in the most primitive ways which "terrorize" their Christian attackers...it is the Christians and THEIR religion which have brought this about...but in both cases, with Jews and Muslims, their religion is being blamed....so we see that not much has changed, not with the bigotry and anti-semitism of the Christians, because Arabs are also Semites, or with the condtion of Blacks under the racism which still perists, and is more virulent for being hidden from view and therefor harder to combat.

It´s the Christians...it is ALWAYS the Christians.
