Paul:

And here's my two cents....

While you're probably right that out of an interest in self-preservation,
many Jews have taken a pretty active role in watching out for the rights 
of other minorities, it's certainly NOT true that ALL Jews have done so.  

Similarly, while its may SEEM that the Nation of Islam is nothing more 
than a bunch of hate-promoting racists, it simply can't be a universal 
truth.  Somewhere in that group MUST be some intelligence, regardless of 
how hard they seem to work to prove that the contrary is true. 

As far as who is the most trust-worthy person to deal with, I'll take the
smartest person around: the one who has the brains to know what's in 
his/her self-interst. Those who work from a philosophical base, without 
real self-interest at heart, are, by far, the most dangerous, regardless 
of their current philosophical bent.
