Lies, lies and more lies

You are either a Muslim practicing "taqiyya" or just plain ignorant. I am a Christian and have been one for over thirty years and have associated with thousands of Christians. The majority of Christians have a great sympathy for Israel and the Jewish people. And I assure you it has nothing to do with Armageddon.

What is more relevant is the incredible suffering sustained by the Jews for over twenty five hundred years and their tenacious loyalty to HaShem and the land of Israel. No other people have suffered as much as the Jews and equally at the hands of the Nazis (for 6 years) and Muslims (for 1300 years).

Muslims have persecuted the Jews from the time that they refused Muhammad's invitation and then demand that they convert to Islam until today. Why don't you read, "The Battle for Jerusalem", by Pastor John Hagee, a sympathetic truthful treatise about the Jews by a pastor of a rather large Christian church in USA.? Your statement that, "the finest flowering of Jewish culture was under Muslim civilizations", is so preposterous that I'm at loss for words. In fact, the flat earth theory is more credible. History does not have another example of one race of people persecuting another with such wickedness and severity and for as many years as the Muslims persecuted the Jews. Shame on you for your despicable lies.
