best to leave this sort of debate to people like me
I would scarcely leave you in charge of a mass debate, despite your years of experience in that field.
In short, if intellects were made of dynamite, you would not have enough to blow your nose!
“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”
Disagree. Passover is a difference: observant Jews will not eat with you during Passover. It is designed to keep them separate. If you don't really know many observant Jews then you might not notice, of course, but that doesn't alter the point that it is made to perpetuate separateness.
Quick, lets ban Christmas too since that excludes all them nasty non-christians!
Although having said that, a quick search of the interweb (they dont come more informed than wikipedia) couldnt turn up anything about excluding people from passover events or the sole reason of passover being to keep them jooooooos seperate from everyone else?
Mailman's comment is inane because it quite ignored what I said; but I'll answer it anyway: I have indeed noticed not being able to see people's faces because of Passover, because they stay home. Don't even know what I'm talking about I suppose.
Actually your comment was inane as you tried to play the good old moral equivalency card. Unfortunately for you that is up there with Godwins law

From wikipedia
It is found in Moses' words that God "will pass over" the houses of the Israelites during the final plague of the Ten Plagues of Egypt, the killing of the first-born. On the night of that plague, which occurred on the 15th day of Nisan, the Israelites smeared their lintels and doorposts with the blood of the Passover sacrifice and were spared.
obviously any non-jews present would be spared Gods wrath hence the exclusion
