As a whole, I have a respect for other religions and for their devoted practitioners - but only as far as those practices involve doing no harm to other people

I always wondered about this. According to the Torah, if you know someone is from amaleik, you must kill them - man, woman or child. Just now, too bad that we don't really know who they are, otherwise we'd have to slaughter them all. In a kind of jihad. And about suicide bombers, isn't there some story about Shimshon Hagibor who died while killing a bunch of plishtim ? How is it that "we" are different from "them" again ?
