But "gentile" is, of course, a context dependent word. Mormons use it for non-mormons. I don't think the way "gentile" is used historically in discussing European/Jewish/Christian divisions would include Morrocans, but ...

Re: Exhibit A of the extreme tone- (none / 0)
Then you should say Christian-culture Europeans because "the usual meaning" is "non-Jew" as far as I can tell.
