Talk:History of the Jews in Iceland

Is anyone working on this? The text almost reminds me of the earth entry in Hitchhikers Guide. The text by Vilhjálm Örn Vilhjálmsson is quiet good and not a boring read. If no one is working on this I would be happy to try it myself. Krizzi 13:06, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

antisemitism
I summarized the Vilhjálm Örn Vilhjálmsson article but there is still a lot to write about antisemitism in Iceland. I also think this article could be cut down, and written more in the way the History of the Jews in Denmark is written, rather than a list of events. Misheu 19:05, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Torah scroll
Why would there be a Torah scroll in 1940 Reykjavik with no community around? --84.20.17.84 10:57, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * with some help from a librarian they borrowed the only Torah available in town.
 * Are you sure it was a scroll?

Is Bobby Fischer worth mentioning?
No. A quote from the article "Bobby Fiscer" states: "fraudulently misrepresenting me to be a Jew [...] to promote your religion". Bobby Fisher, is not a Jew, and should not be included. Snaevar (talk) 17:20, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * He is, and this is not what I think (contrary to you), and this is supported by various (also by reliable ones) sources / books: his mother was Jewish, Jewish-born Bobby Fischer, he was jewish. Note, two of the sources are jewish-based sources like JerusalemPost. Userpd (talk) 11:57, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

"This was the first non-Christian religious service in Iceland in 940 years"
This seems unsupportable. The article on Iceland has the *current* population at 80% Christian... I can't believe that it's been 100% Christian for its entire history, and that non-Christians have had some sorts of gatherings that would rightly be called "religious services". I've removed it, but welcome argument. --tgeller (talk) 22:20, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
