Go read this post of conuly's, as it contains both an interesting link and an interesting article (for which there is a link in the comments, but which apparently requires logging in to read).
I felt very strange reading the latter piece, as I am very much of Semitic descent but don't in the least subscribe to doctrines of Original Sin or "obsessive body modesty". I guess that makes me the Other, Other People.
*shrug* I suspect it's just yet another attempt to say 'leave us alone, you people are crazy', and doesn't intend to imply that one who _is_ of Semitic descent cannot be in the 'Other People' category.
Besides, I suspect that it's very likely that the Witnesses who were visiting were _not_ of Semitic descent.
