Hamakom synagogue, a conservative congregation of around 900 families located in an upscale Los Angeles suburb, says it was trying to ease tensions between the Jewish and Muslim communities when it decided to lease its space this month to the Islamic Society of West Valley, a neighboring Muslim faith group that needed space to hold services during the holy month of Ramadan.

There's only one way to ease tensions of that sort, and I'm not sure the members of the Hamakom synagogue will be good with it.

Reminds me of when Obama, soon after his inauguration, went to speak at Georgetown University, an ostensibly Catholic institution. Georgetown covered up the IHS and other symbols of Jesus on the wall behind the speaker’s podium with black drapes.

The Holy Koran, Sura 2, verses 186,187,188 and 189.

Why do people not get it?

That is insanity. The Muslim “holy” book, the Qur’an spells it out:

The Jews will hide behind the stones and the trees, and the stones and the trees will say, oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew hiding behind me — come and kill him.” …

Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 2926
In-book reference : Book 56, Hadith 139

The synagogue leadership are the type that would gladly have climbed into the cattle cars.

[HKMk23]

Love ‘em or not, the Jews remain a nihilistic and self-abasing group. These obsequious gestures never fail to blow up in their faces, yet they never learn to do otherwise.
