I wasn’t lumping them together. It could easily have read Jews are just as likely to be right as Muslims and Christians.
It, in fact, did not read in that manner, however. Quote: “the Muslims are just as likely to be right as the Jews and Christians.” Your explanation is not credible, and you are lumping Moslems and Christians together in the way you are now phrasing things. This is even less likely than your prior phraseology.
Freudian slip? A typo; where you neglected to put in a second “the”? Scrambled syntax? Who knows? At this late date, any explanation after the fact is open to the interpretation that it is being framed in the light of subsequent events.
