@ryanmarlin2974 I'm a non-religious Jew but have listened to the interpretations of "scripture" from all three faiths. I've been told many times, since I do not read arabic, I can never truly understand Islamic scripture. But thank you for trying to educate me. The difference is clear in the current conflict. Jews don't require conversion, and in fact, have scripture against it. Israel is a secular state, there are Arab Christians and Muslims serving in the Knesset, the Supreme Court and the IDF. And while these rights have been conferred on occasion to non-Muslim in Muslim countries, it is a very rare thing. The word Israel means "To Struggle with God", very much like Jihad, only it is an internal struggle, and does not force others into the battle.

@lisacimarik7315 There are less than 9 million Israelis, 1.8 million of those are Arabs, they serve on the Knesset, the Supreme Court, and the IDF. Show me the comparable Muslim country in the region? There are almost 2 Billion Muslims worldwide, so I agree, there must be "some" Muslims who believe in peace, but I wonder how they define, "Peace".
In the 7th Century, Muslim armies forced conversion of both Jews and Christians under penalty of death. Some Christians did convert, some Jews did convert, but many did not. Muslims got tired of killing us, so they created the law for non-Muslims, Dhimmis. Check it out.
In Spain, during the Muslim Caliphate, many Christians converted to Islam. The Emir Abd al-Rahman III was born of a Christian Frank mother, whose mother was also a Christian Frank. The Ottomans were known for stealing Christian boys and circumcising them into Islam.
Until Jihad is no longer externalized, and looks inward, as both Jews and Christians have done with their struggle to be in the image of G_d, the human family will have a dangerous enemy in our midst. Both Winston Churchill and T.E. Lawrence were correct.
Asad in Syria has killed 10X as many Palestinians as Israel has. The Sudanese Arabs are right now killing non-Muslim Black Africans. In Libya there are open slave markets where women and children are sold to the highest bidder. Yes, I'd like to know how "some" Muslims define "Peace".

@Rockster-USA 95% Sephardic is nonsense, the Umayyad Dynasty took Christian wifes from the north, Abd al-Rahman III had reddish blonde hair and blue eyes, forced to dye his beard black to look more Arab. The Alhambra Decree of March 31, 1492 not only kept Jews out of the New World, but conversos, too. Even 3rd generation conversos like those who accompanied Pizzaro required attestation they were not formerly Jews. In 1569, Philip II, king of Spain, issued the decree that ordered the establishment of the Inquisition in South America, Jews and crypto-Jews were hunted down. Some claim both Pizarro and Cortes as Crypto-Jews, too.
No doubt Sephardic Jewish blood flowed to the New World, and DNA evidence has turned up as far north as Denver, CO., but 95%?
Many Ashkenazi Jews arrived in Brazil during the period of Dutch Protestant rule in the early 1600s, setting up in Recife the first synagogue in the Americas, the Kahal Zur Israel Synagogue, as early as 1636, but the Dutch were run out by the Portuguese in 1654 and the Jews had to either hide again, or leave.
By 1750, out of 2,500 Jews in the American Colonies, the majority was Ashkenazi. They were Yiddish-speaking Jews from Holland, Germany, Poland and England. The first United States Ashkenazic synagogue, Rodeph Shalom, was established in Philadelphia. 1819.
Your statements have element of fact, but are grossly exaggerated and do not include the German and Polish Jews who began to arrive in the New World early in the17th Century.
I often tell people horse husbandry came to the Western Hemisphere as a Jewish technology, and the 1st Cowboys were in fact Jewish, but everyone laughs.
