Antisemitism detector test

I wonder if rabbis would be interested in my antisemitism detector test which is very easy to remember and apply: you are an antisemite if you deny the status of Jews as God's Chosen People and the validity of the Noahide laws.

You don't even have to believe in God to accept that Jews identify themselves as God's Chosen People because that is how the Torah describes Jews. Even the Koran acknowledges the status of Jews calling them the Children of Israel.

As for the Noahide laws, why would any rational and moral person object to the Noahide laws?

What rational and moral person would object to laws forbidding murder? 

What rational and moral person would object to laws forbidding theft?

What rational and moral person would object to laws forbidding sexual immorality? 

What rational and moral person would object to laws forbidding the eating of an animal while it is still alive?

What rational and moral person would object to the requirement to have a court and legal system to enforce laws against murder, theft, sexual immorality and animal cruelty?

What rational and moral person would object to the requirement to have a court and legal system to enforce laws against murder, theft, sexual immorality and animal cruelty?

If you were an atheist, blasphemer or an idolater, you would object to laws forbidding idolatry and blasphemy, but there is a way round that. The Koran is silent on blasphemy and even guarantees freedom of belief with quran.com/2/256 which is the basis of the First Amendment. It can be inferred that a Koran-based theocracy would in fact guarantee freedom of belief and free speech as the First Amendment does. It can therefore be inferred that such a Koran-based theocracy would accommodate atheists to polytheists including Christians whose religion is in fact guilty of both idolatry and blasphemy. Claiming Jesus is divine and having idols of him in church is undeniably idolatrous and worshipping an executed revolutionary as the co-equal of the supreme and eternal Abrahamic God who created the Universe is undeniably blasphemous. The Koran however accommodates Christians who are referred to as People of the Book.

  1. I find your analysis to be very much grounded in rational thinking. Glad that their are those who think similarly to me.
