Bindmans and Blackstone win Supreme Court victory in Jewish school case

Anonymous (4:14, 17 Dec) demonstrates his/her ignorance of Judaism, which has always had an "ethnic" component (to use the language in the case), regardless of the level of religious observance or even belief - the fact is that it is not neccessary to believe in order to be considered Jewish (the Nazis certainly didn't make belief a qualification requirement for its policies). The fact that this does not accord with anonymous' world view or the wording of the Race Relations Act merely shows that the decision and the ideas reflected in the Act are based on a Christian notion of faith, and that is surely inherently discriminatory?
