It’s funny you chose to compare with Moslems and not Jews.

I refer you back to your original quote (msg 448) that kicked off what became primarily a discussion with js:“Then we are screwed and the Muslims are just as likely to be right as the Jews and Christians.”

You lumped Jews and Christians together, an association not surprising to me (you know, Judeo-Christian? A common phrase for obvious reasons) Nonetheless, it was your categorization and your terms. Now, you find it “funny”? You explain it.

js chose to focus on Christians, to the exclusion of Jews. I even tried to pull him back to include Jews, but he would have none of it. His obsession is with Christians and their "perfidy." Let him explain it.

I wasn’t lumping them together. It could easily have read Jews are just as likely to be right as Muslims and Christians.

I have been speaking from personal experience. If you wish to go back to Jericho and the like, I could include Jews.

But My personal experience with Jim Crow is mostly with Christians. In my lifetime, and in my personal experience, Jews, Unitarians and Quakers -- the most "liberal" of people who call themselvs religious -- have been the ones fighting for basic human rights.
