 == Jewish law, Talmud and Racism == 

 It is an urgent topic, but somehow the wikipedia still lacks any serious discussion about this issue. I came across some site that even concludes that this Holy Book (""The Talmud"") is the ""Mein Kampf"" of the ""Chosen People"". 

 well, it seems like an extreme accusation, so it is natural to ask, are there any controversial laws in the Talmud or it is much ado about nothing. 

 So, with your king permission, let me just quote and discuss some issues in halacha, that in my humble opinion are sort of relevant here. 
 * ""A Jew who rapes a gentile 3-year-old girl, because he raped her viciously, this girl is put to death, because she ""brought"" shame on the Jewish people, like a case a Jew coupling with an animal, the animal is to be executed as mentioned elsewhere. (Maimonides, chapter 12 of The Laws of Forbidden Relationships, halacha 8-9). 
 * ""Ones' ox that injured a pregnant maidservant and she miscarried,  the owner of the ox is exempt from payment for her offspring, for this is similar to injuring a pregnant she-ass"".(Maimonides in chapter 11 of The Laws of Monetary Damage, halacha 4). 
 ::(This revered scholar even explains himself very well, here is an exact quotation:  
 :::""this is our law! And do not find it difficult, and don't be surprised by it, just as one is not surprised about the slaughter of animals even though they have done no harm, for one in whom human characteristics are not complete is not truly a man, and his end purpose is only for 'man' (i.e. the Jew)"". (Maimonides commentary on the Mishnah in Tractate Baba Kama, chapter 4, mishnah 3). 
 *A Jew who killed a Gentile with intent is not put to death by the Beit Din, as he would be had he killed a Jew. (Maimonides in The Laws of a Murderer and Saving Life, chapter 2, halacha 10-11). 

 *A gentile who killed a Jew without intent, even though he did it unintentionally, he is put to death.(Maimonidesin  chapter 5 of The Laws of a Murderer and Protecting Life, halacha 4) 

 OK, I'm not in a position to judge if comparing gentiles again and again to animals is racism or not, and again if you're searching Google for anti-gentile"", you will find among others the following quotations: ""All gentile children are animals"", ""Gentiles prefer sex with cows"" or ""The gentiles are outside the protection of the law and God has exposed their money to Israel.(references to the above and many many others can by found here  or on this excellent website 
 . 

 anyway, let me conclude, with some holy thoughts of the most influential rabbi of our days rabbi Ovadia Yosef, who is well-known to compare the Palestinians to snakes (again, search the web for Ovadia Yosef, snakes), and the following is an exact quotation of one of his recent sermons at Adat Yazdim just recently:  
 ::""There was a tsunami and there are terrible natural disasters, because there isn’t enough Torah study… black people reside there (in New Orleans).  Blacks will study the Torah? (God said) let’s bring a tsunami and drown them... Hundreds of thousands remained homeless. Tens of thousands have been killed. All of this because they have no God"".. 

 Just kind and loving words! 

 One is just reminded what rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook wrote in ""Orot"" regarding the gentile compared to an animal, that the Gentile's soul is by far more close to that of an animal, as opposed to the ""Jewish soul"". (Orot, chapter 5, page 156)''. This theorem is rigorously proven (in ""Orot"") on purely logical arguments deduced naturally from the holiest book of the Jewish people i.e. The Talmud, or so is convinced this rabbi. 

 Such Holy thoughts coming straight from such wise men of the Talmud , making their holy thoughts known to the world in such clear terms!!! honestly, I'm so humble...I'm just sitting here citing again and again every holy word written and spoken by these great rabbis and dissolve into tears as i read the minds of these great rabbis who came closest to reading God's thoughts.
