[edit] The Last Jihad

Im pretty sure that "The Last Jihad" was written after the September 11th attacks considering they are mentioned in the book. Contrary to what is written in the article currently.

The book was written before the attacks. After 9/11, however, some revisions were made so that it would be up-to-date. « amiИa . skyшalkeя (¿Hábleme?) 17:42, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orthodox background?

Anybody have any idea what he means by claiming an Orthodox Jewish background? 75.3.193.243 05:48, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

His mother was a Jew. Therefore, naturally, Mr. Rosenberg is a Jew also. He is from a third generation Orthodox Jewish family who escaped anti-Semitism in 1900s Russia. This makes him a Messianic Jew, a Jewish believer in Y'shua (Jesus) keeping his Jewish faith (Judaism) alongside belief in the Messiah- different from gentile Christians, who do not consider themselves Jewish. --DandanxD 12:30, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is he a Messianic Jew?

Does anyone know if Rosenberg is a "Messianic Jew" or if he is part of a mainstrem church. What are the details surrounding his involvement with Christianity? Please contact me on my talk page if you know something about this subject. Thank you. IZAK 13:23, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

He is from a 3rd Generation orthodox Jewish family. --124.168.179.253 12:25, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
