Sir Winston Churchill said this in a parliamentary debate 1921 June 14:
“The Wahabis*, Churchill noted, “profess a life of exceeding austerity, and what they practice themselves they rigorously enforce on others.
They hold it as an article of duty, as well as of faith, to kill all who do not share their opinions and make slaves of their wives and children.
Women have been put to death in Wahabi villages for simply appearing in the streets.
It is a penal offense to wear a silk garment. Men have been killed for smoking a cigarette…”
* HISTORY NOTE: In July 2004, the 9/11 Commission identified Wahabism as a cause of Islamic Terrorism.

“It is true that the American legal system derives much of its content from the Old Testament [also known as the Jewish Bible or Tanach]...
When we were growing up, my friends and I would take great pride in discovering the Jewish sources of American laws, such as: the privilege against self-incrimination, the requirement of two witnesses for certain types of crime, and the very idea that punishment must be proportionate to the crime committed.”

=================================== Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz grew up Orthodox but later became secular.
He said this about Orthodox Judaism, many years after he quit it:
“I cannot leave my progeny any legacy comparable to the Orthodox commitment to, and intimate knowledge of, Jewish tradition and practice that my predecessors left me.
Though I have not abandoned my Jewishness – far from it – I have also not carried on the tradition of daily religious observance and total immersion in the sources of the tradition.
Sometimes I regret not having done so.”
