The most successful Troll thread in history

"Are there any non-Jews who like this movie???"

A Troll is someone who tries to stir up trouble as in someone who trolls for fish, of course there are many non-Jews who love Fiddler on the Roof. The single biggest proof of this is its commercial success. Jews make up less then 2% of the population of the United States. If only Jews liked Fiddler on the Roof it would not have been on Broadway for at least 30yrs.

The poster who started that other thread is being extremely insulting to just about everyone, especially non-Jews. To say that a person who is non-Jewish cannot relate to the struggles of another person simply because they are not in their particular situation is to suggests that they lack both imagination and empathy to relate to other human beings. This is a grievous insult and a blanket generalization that a serious person would not make.

Please stop responding to that other thread. You are simply paying tribute to someone who was trying to stir up trouble by posting something that was intentionally inflammatory.

As somebody who has posted on that thread, I have to say that you have a point there, that I never once took into consideration. Of course asking such a question is nothing more than trolling.

Let's not forget that the Jewish people which is movie centres on are Orthodox Jews, so why didn't that poster ask if any Non-Orthodox liked that movie too?

If you love Mary and Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it, copy this and make your signature!
