I think the explanation for the lack of coverage on Tate's conversion is simpler than the author supposes, the media has for years treated Muslims with kid-gloves and views anything potentially critical of that faith as off-limits. I submit that if Tate had converted to some form of Christianity there would be an incessant drumbeat from the media of how Christianity is bad and draws malfeasants like Tate who want to return to the dark ages.

True enough, Joe. You will not see a depiction or likeness of Mohammed on the airwaves of CNN, Fox or anyone else anytime soon..

I had the exact same thought whilst reading the article. CNN would blast it all over the news.

Luckily it’s really difficult and a ton of work to ACTUALLY convert to Judaism. One cannot just claim to have faith.

You kidding borsht is delicious you don’t have to be Jewish to enjoy borsht. But I can tell what the best is Chicken soup and Kneidlach, especially if you not feeling well. My later mother called in Jewish Penicillin it was a miracle cure for all our childhood ailments.
