Reply #39: Sorry for confusion; that's not what I meant

Muslim is definitely a religion - whoever said otherwise. But in this case, they are acting out of anti-Zionism, not out of relgious fervour. Religious people may be egging them on; but the main purpose is political.

There are plenty of situations where theocratic Muslim governments *do* ban things because they aren't in accordance with their religion. It's my impression this isn't what's happening here -especially as Muslim countries that are less politically anti-Israel (e.g. Egypt and Jordan) are not involved in this. Therefore I thought the headline was slightly misleading - though I/P rules say that we have to use the headline of the original article.
