I have noticed a kind of THEME that pervades the posts
of a sorta specific set of people regarding jewish history.
The theme is "..... and that's when judaism ENDED..." The
END OF JUDAISM is part and parcel of both christianity
and islam and it peeks out from every corner in their
poetry, prose, song, liturgy, art, and 'scholarship'. They
('they' means christians and muslims) seem not to notice
it but to me and, I think, to many jews, IT STICKS OUT
like a graffiti Swastica as something akin to the
FINAL SOLUTION

• Salvation of Baghdad Jewry (1733)

In 1733, the Persian conqueror Nader Shah Afshar laid siege to Ottoman-held Baghdad. Knowing that Persian rule would not bode well for them, the Jewish community prayed for an Ottoman victory. On 11 Menachem Av, an Ottoman force led by Topal Osman Pasha drove away the Persian forces and the siege was lifted. The Jewish community commemorated this day each year, refraining from reciting the penitential prayers of tachanun.

• Moroccan Jewry Saved From Portuguese Conquest (1578)
In 1578, a Portuguese army led by King Sebastian I joined forces with the deposed Moroccan Sultan Abdallah Mohammed, who desired to regain the throne from his uncle, Abd al-Malik. Victory of the Portuguese king would inevitably lead to the infamous Inquisitiontaking hold in Morocco. On August 4, corresponding to 1 Elul, the Portuguese army was defeated in what is known as the Battle of the Three Kings. A number of Moroccan communities would commemorate this date each year as a day of celebration, thanking G‑d for His salvation.
