So far as I can fathom from a round of Googling, there is a lot of Christian rightist hype about this which has (designedly imo) added the belching flavour of brimstone to things.
But it looks to me as though this law was proposed and adopted only as a mark of respect to the late Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, and I personally don't find that harmful -- although again I stand ready to be corrected by ay pertinent facts that might reveal this position to be in error.
The Rabbi was also awarded, posthumously, the Congressional Gold Medal, which was proposed and passed unanimously.
For those who might wish to research further the following links contain the bare bones.
Firstly, a Wiki bio of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson
Secondly the Bill that became law
Thirdly, a direct Congressional Library link for the Bill
Can't say that I agree with you on that. Those laws are derived only from the Talmud which is one of the most anti-gentile books ever written. Christians will believe anything that blows from behind a pulpit and they honesty believe the Noahides are in their bible, they are not.
The Lubavitch movement is strictly a Talmudic/Caballah sect and if you have never read the Talmud, you really should. The book of Sanhedrin instructs Jewish men how to have sex with little girls as long as they are at least 3 years and one day old. It also instructs them on having sex with little boys and I believe the age is 7 for them. It tells when and how a woman can have sex with little boys and also animals. It teaches that sex with a corpse is not a sin since the body is dead. It also teaches that all non-Jews are dogs and less than human. If Bush is truly the pedophile he is reported to be, this is the book for him.
I really do not care how many honors this man was given or by whom. Lip service is given many many times to those whom something will be expected later. Didn't Arafat receive the Nobel Peace Prize??? Awards and honors no longer mean much in this world.
The Christians are riled up over this as they know the worship of any other god other than the insane OT yahweh is forbidden and according to the Talmud is punishable by death. They fail to see that ALL worship other than the Talmudic god will be forbidden but since their's is the 'only' true one they care not for anyone else.
I am not a religious person but when one group tries to force their system of belief on the world, I have a huge problem with that. I began reading the Talmud many years ago and it is rotten and hateful. The bible does have some great advice such as being aware of the wolves in sheeps clothing. Also, anyone Bush Sr. passes bills for without revealing it to the public is someone I would be just a bit leary of.
One does not need religion in order to see when something is just not quite right.
