"Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama said Tuesday that America needs to ask Israel to help change the status quo in its conflict with the Palestinians, the only candidate at a National Jewish Democratic Council conference to suggest that there is any onus on the Jewish state when it comes to making peace with its neighbors...."
..."The [mostly JEWISH] audience applauded his words, which came in response to a question on how firm his backing for Israel was in light of the support he has received throughout his career from the Muslim American community.
Obama said that the premise of the query was "false," as the support he's received from the Jewish community "has been far more significant than any support I've received in the Muslim American community, although I welcome and actively seek support in the Muslim community as well."
"He also noted that he spent some of his childhood overseas in Muslim-dominated Indonesia. There, he learned some of the local vocabulary and customs."

(*Tanakh is the Hebrew acronym for the complete Jewish writings including the 5 Books of Torah, all of the Prophets, and many other important writings, including Psalms and Proverbs... )Nice work, morons. Guess what, they are coming for you right after us.
We can only guess what went down in the SNL pre-production meeting:
"Ok, we need to draw in 5 korans, you know, muslim holy books..."
"Not me, man, you do it!"
"Not on my show, don't show the title of the book - I ain't no Daniel Pearl! I want to keep my head!"
"Hey Lorne, what's that book I saw propping up your VCR, that looks like Arabic!"
"No, that's just some old Hebrew thing, upside down, yeah, WTH, both religions are too violent, go ahead and use that."
