Cyrus considered the greatest king that Persia ever had was noted for his kindness toward Jews.

One would almost expect the Muslim to protest Xerxes and leave us alone.

Historical note; There were no Muslims, Mohammedans or Islamists at the time of Cyrus.....or Xerxes or Artaxerxes. There really weren't any Arabs to speak of either.

Even later, Medina, the muslim holy city wasn't muslim prior to Mohammed's raids and pillage. It had a large Jewish and Christian population.
