I was talking to a Jordanian liquor store owner about Israel, and he took the standard Islamic view on Jerusalem being a holy Islamic place and so on. I suddenly hit the devil's advocate button and said this:

"You know, I've read the Koran, and nowhere does it mention Jerusalem. But Jerusalem is mentioned hundreds and hundreds of times in the Tanach. Now, imagine if the Jews suddenly showed up in Mecca saying that somewhere in their religion they have a holy shrine in Mecca, and therefore should have half of the area surrounding, though it is mentioned nowhere in their Bible. Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot. Wouldn't you think them the most evil of the evil?"

He looked at me, smiled, and we changed the subject.

Perfect response, I like it.... They live in a culture of lies and thievery. Always have and always will.
