So the main issue was religion, not race – though the two could easily be confused. As Håkon Harket, the greatest Norwegian scholar on the subject of the anti-Jewish clause, explains: “Even those who fought for civil rights for the Jews held often an ambition to liberate Jews from Judaism.”
因此，主要问题是宗教而非种族，虽然这两个问题很容易混淆。就像鼓吹反犹条款最主要的挪威学者哈克特所说的那样：“即使那些犹太公民权的推动者也往往希望将犹太人从犹太教的控制下解放出来。”
