Re: Judaism background: Israelites and Noachites
What? Are they going to organize an inquisition to hunt down every Muslim in the world not to mention every occidental parent who was told it would keep it from itching?

Re: Judaism background: Israelites and Noachites
WASPs are not likely to remain recognisable and distinct 300 years from now, and their flirtation with circumcision is already on the wane. I posit two hundred years of cultural and racial mingling on Earth before emigration starts in earnest, and several hundred alternative destinations to the jewish colony of Covenant.

Re: Judaism background: Israelites and Noachites
I very, very much doubt that any Muslims whatsoever are going to be emigrating to Covenant, a Jewish colony. They will go to Hijra and Fureidis and almost anywhere else.

Re: Judaism background: Israelites and Noachites
There's a significant (and often rather patriotic) Druze community in Israel, and in fact are in something like the Noachite state already, including a greater engagement in the society than other Arabs and an endorsement of the Noahide laws for non-Jews by their spiritual leader.
It would not surprise me if some chose to go to Covenant, particularly among the Israeli nationalist separatists. A dedicated Druze religious colony seems unlikely, given their low global numbers (~1 million worldwide, 10% of that in Israel). And, notably, they practice circumcision. |

Okay then, the non-Jewish descendants of the Pro-Israeli WASPs are the ones likely to retain circumcision for reasons of superficial assimilation and as a symbol of life-long dedication to preparing the way for the Second Coming. They will be the gentiles closest to hand when the colonial effort is made, and their complementary beliefs will cooperate better than either alone if for no other reason than observant colonists having neighbors and business partners who can cover for another on their respective Sabbaths and high holy days like Christmas and Rosh Hashana. |

Re: Judaism background: Israelites and Noachites
Are there any Seventh Day Adventists or other Judaizing Christian sects on the planet, or have those gone elsewhere/died out?

Re: Judaism background: Israelites and Noachites
Neither do I wish this thread derailed into an argument about the advisability of circumcision and the necessity of doing it to unconsenting infants.
