Perhaps I should have made it clear that I meant Jew as in follower of Judaism rather than citizen of Israel. Presumably they do not follow the Mosaic laws about stonings and stuff (think we would have heard about it) so was curious what reason they give for this.

Well, let me be clear most followers of Judaism, in the United States, are not very religious. My mother's family is Jewish and under a religion box they would check Jewish, but they are almost as unreligious as I am (I was raised Catholic, for clarity and have never considered myself Jewish in any sense.) For the Ultra-Othodox, they would probably love to follow the old testament laws, but are kept in check by secular governments.
