@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".
