The much hype-up tolerance of Jews by Islam in the medieval age is nothing but myth. Islam has been a consistent persecutor of the Jews since Prophet Muhammad exiled and slaughtered the Jews of Medina and ordered for cleasing Islamic heartland of Arabia of Jews & Christians. Ibn Warraq gives a fascinating account of sreading misconceptions and untruth by noted scholars about Islam's mythical tolerance of other religions. A "must read" essay.

A little known fact about WWII is that Hitler had two or three Nazi SS divisions made up completrly of Muslims, officers soldiers, everyone.
They were assigned to the Balkins area for the “Final Solution”.

Not an oxymoron; just a redundancy/
;-)
From this great introduction by Ibn Warraq, the last sentence...
“Until Islamic countries acknowledge the realities of anti-Jewish persecution in their history, there is no hope of combating the continuing hatred of Jews in modern times, from Morocco to Indonesia.”

Great post. Great website. Thanks to all of the outstanding thinkers at islam-watch.
Love your tag line, by the way. (68-78)
Okay -- WWI, WWII, Viet Nam, the Civil War, Korea, the Napoleonic wars -- even the American Revolution wasn't about religion. It was more about Englanders who fled England's religioius persecution and hopped the pond to become a subservient British colony. They didn't like the taxes and lack of independence, and America was born.
But this chronic rash of Islamic unpleasantness, a source of strife to Western civilization since 600 years after the birth of Christ, this is truly a religious war, no matter how we try to parse the language and call it a "religious political ideology" and other such niceties.
And we are all -- every one of us, godless and God-loving alike -- invested in it whether we like it or not.
That's damned scary because people are going to stay in denial for as long as they possibly can.
Trying to duplicate GOD, satan has developed his own religion over the ages … ISLAM. Obvious to most spirit filed people, not so obvious to those not familiar with the teachings of Jesus Christ.
I agree. That’s why I put a flatline afterwards. “Until” WILL NEVER COME (in my opinion).
“The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers. This holy army guards my religion. Almighty! Our journey is our destiny, the end is martyrdom” (poem by Ziya Gökalp).
The more I read and experience Islam, the more certain I am of its evil satanic origins.
I don't know about evil satanic origins, but I know what works. The teachings of Jesus Christ and the bible work. They're the human being's guidelines for success -- for creating heaven on earth. Look at how much sorrow and pain arise out of envy, avarice (Rush is semantically confused in his praise of greed as a motivator), thievery, adultery, coveting, lying, murder, gluttony, sloth. Anger and pride, lust, all those and more are among the realities of being human; Judeo-Christianity, in essence, tells us so, and tells us that God understands. Judeo-Christianity tells us to constantly strive above them for better lives just for the pure glory of our Maker, if not ourselves! And when societies attempt to cleave to those guidelines, guess what? We thrive!
"There is nothing new under the sun." It has always been that way and will always be that way. We're at a time in American history where it's normal to be cavalier about faith and prudent to be suspicious of it. Yet as I think of the wild possibilties that await future generations, my mind goes all Sci-Fi on me. I think of the line from "The Terminator," "Come with me if you want to live," and I think that it is Christianity's war cry for the next war scenario. Perhaps it always has been, and always will be.
Well, Jesus loves you.
mohamet wants you dead.
That's all I need to know.

Fair enough! I'd say the "Mohamet wants you dead" part would be enough.
Thank you!
Any racial anti-semitism is insane since the Arabs trace their roots back to Abraham just as the Jewish people do.Both groups are historically kindred people in most respects . The entire problem has developed only because of the fact that Islam is intolerant of any other religion.
