Goodness me gracious fellow subscribers, it seems that I may have inadvertently opened a few "doors' that are totally not needed in this mailing list. I shall respond in this way and then will not enter into any further discussion other than the topic of the genealogy of Benjamin BASNAGE. In mentioning Benjamin's Grandson, Jacques and his apparent thoughts and writings on Judaism, some subscribers took up arms by misintepreting my meaning. I would like to beleive that Jacques BASNAGE was a man who had strong thoughts on theological semitism while at the same time preached an equally strong Christian doctrine along the Walloon faith. The other kind of anti-semitism is not for this or any other mailing list to be found on Rootsweb. Theological anti-Semitism is referred to by some historians and scholars as anti-Judaism to emphasize its relationship to the Jewish religion, and to distinguish it from racist anti-Semitism. I do realise how many are not comfortable with any discussion on this point, however we must never deny that the world is full of alternate thought and it is wise to understand that thought even if we oppose such. To deny without knowledge is full of danger. Enough of this, please I shall continue my own private research of the BASNAGE family for pure genealogical knowledge. Kind Regards, Peter Leroy
