Thank you for the article.
Most people don't realise that Muslims have usually been friends and protecters of the Jews throughout history.
True most people do NOT realize that.
Most (not all) of the time in history, Jews were safer, and freer under Moslem rulers than Christians ones.
There have been times, when CHRISTANS were safer under Moslem rule than under the rule of their fellow Chrstians. That is PART of the reason that there are so many European Slavic Muslems.
Muslims are not enemies of Jews or Judiasm. We respect them and their religion.
WEll... some do.
You know perfectly well at least some of your fellow religionists are not so liberal.
But we are enemies of the fascist Zionists who control Israel. And the sick, brutal tactics they use to committ genocide on people of the surrounding countries.
Ah, yeah...it's that enemy thing that's troubling.and then too, there's the rhetoric.
Genocide? No. Overstatement of massive proportions.
Palestinains have valid complaints about Isreal, I quite agree, but GENOCIDE is not one of them.
You know, and I know, if the Israelis were dumb enough to attempt genocide, first of all one hell of a lot more of Palestinians would be dead than are now, and secondly the world would turn its back on Israel.
So if you're of the "We will drive them into the sea" brand of Muslim, if you cannot see that Isrealis, much like Palestinians have no place to go, and therefore some peaceful agreement
must be forged between the Israeli and Palestinaian, then you can stop telling us about what a peaceful religion you are part of, cause you're not part of that sensble, peaceful merciful religion you seem to be claiming you're part of.
Thous shall not kill is not an optional commandment.
When Jew or Muslim or Christian kills in the name of God, God is not amused.
We, meaning the Jews and the Christians AND TO SOME EXTENT, some Muslims, too, screwed up badly and ended up with two people attemtping to occupuy the same land.
Focus on how to FIX IT, and eschew the hatred bit.
I think you'll get more traction from me, if you do.
I'm sick of righteous killing and I don't care whose ox gets gored for taking that position.
