Are Jews Christians?
Conservative pundit — and controversy magnet — Ann Coulter made waves last week when excerpts from her new book, “Godless: The Church of Liberalism,” revealed a withering attack on 9/11 widows. “I’ve never seen people enjoying their husbands’ death so much,” she said.
Overlooked, however, is a peculiar bit of classification that Coulter makes in a footnote on her book’s third page, where, with a stroke of the pen, she converts the world’s Jews into Christians. “Throughout this book,” she writes, “I often refer to Christians and Christianity because I am a Christian and I have a fairly good idea of what they believe, but the term is intended to include anyone who subscribes to the Bible of the God of Abraham, including Jews and others.”
