And, for the record, for 1,800 years it was "Christians" who persecuted, raped, pillaged, and murdered Jews, while Jews living in Muslim lands were largely left alone.

I've seen this narrative about a thousand times, but something about it just doesn't pass the smell test.

If Christians were such horrible, vile persecutors, why did the Jews stay living among them?

And why after numerous expulsion orders over history were lifted later, why did the Jews immediately move back into those countries?

Why would someone follow their persecutor around everywhere?

ever hear of Israel?? Yet many Christians in Europe are against this nation. So where do you suggest Jews live? In Mongolia? Fact is Jews have gone though the good and the bad living in Christian nations

You need to read more, and smell less. History is actually interesting - but the history of the Jewish people and the persecution they have suffered for thousands of years is more sobering than you can imagine.
