Irony meter breaks!

Riots as a result of a Palestinian man driving in Israel on Yom Kippur? Isn't it convenient to have a religion double as an ethnic identity, so that any time a religious act is questioned, the perpetrator gets to be called a racist? Given the world's inherent respect for religious behaviors and beliefs as completely outside the realm of critical analysis, almost anything can be whitewashed.

Day of Atonement? I hope it occurs to those people to atone for this.
