Kosher pork? The makers of Oscar Meyers are rolling in the aisles that someone thinks their product is Kosher. I don't know if they are considered Kosher, but I am willing to bet that Jos has never eaten a Hebrew National Hot Dog. Probably if he happened upon the product in his local grocery market, just seeing the word Hebrew would make him turn away. However, no doubt, if he saw something labeled Halal, he would quickly purchase it, feeling that he was doing his bit for his Muslim buddies.

Jos ain't anti-Jew. He's just anti-Zionist and anti-Israel. (whatever that is supposed to mean)

Ah, same as Muslims but not for quite as long.
Perhaps Muslims and Jews can work on similarities to start dialogue to peace.

Interesting the time is, in part, to remember the expulsion of Jews from Spain (by Christians) after the end of Muslim rule (Umayyad Caliphate) in that country.

That will be refreshing

But the Ramadan holiday is where Muslims are gathering in joy, while Tishaa Be'av is the saddest time for the Jews. A time of mourning.

True but we have similar traditions and ideas on many subjects.
We both worship the Almighty but in slightly different ways and have a different holy day but that, especially if we can get Christians on board, just makes for a longer weekend.

Think positive.

are you trying to make a point? the Jews of muslim spain had largely fled muslim spain------already-----Some to the christian part of Spain (try to keep in mind ---muslims did not actually control ALL OF SPAIN before the RECONQUISTA) some to muslim countries less oppressive than muslim spain and some to christian countries----like the Netherlands. Cordoba lost its jewish population to MUSLIM pogroms---not the Inquisition

Odd.
All the history books I've read suggest the Jewish population, while not equal in rights, thrived until the forced conversions and expulsions under Christian rule.

Care for a few links?
