Stone, I. ( 2010, December 29) Selling the Talmud as a business guide. Newsweek. Retrieved on 3/25/2011. from http://www.newsweek.com/2010/12/29/in-china-pushing-the-talmud-as-a-business-guide.html

Summary:

            This article discusses the business of the Talmud. The Jews are in charge, and because of what happened last year when Google's ranking listed few questions that start with "why" these questions made Jews start that business and spreading the Talmud all over the world. The business got bigger and they made a lot of money by building hotels… a copy of "Talmud Business Bible Success" was included in every single room in Talmud's hotel in Taiwan; after that, business exploded because of that. The only way to beat Jews in Talmud's business is by reading the Talmud itself.

Reaction:

            Starting a huge business by selling a holy book, that is clever. Reading through this article was like an adventure, you can imagine how Jews started that business from the beginning until nowadays. They built hotels, sold millions of copies, and had strong self confidence by saying, "No one can defeat us unless if he read our book". They also started that business many and many years ago, but is starting a business by selling a holy book is it right? For example, the holy Qura'an is the last in holy books, and has been here for over 1432 years and it is the same. No one ever thought to start a business or a " huge business" by selling the Qura'an; maybe a few started that business but just sold a few. Moreover, the Qura'an was mostly donated by our Kings, it is a widespread donation. Finally, I think it is wrong to do that, which is selling holy books for millions and millions. Also maybe the worst thing is to do that business and think that everyone around is an enemy or people want to take over the business.
