Just like anywhere else, we have people who come up with interpretations of thier scripture that justify hatred. On the plus side, thier a very small minority and they are much more nonviolent on average than the religious fringe in other nations.

The great irony is that unless both the Jew and the Muslim accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, the Jew and the Muslim are going to spend their eternity together, whereas the Christian Arab of the region already does have a reserved seat in a better place.

As you know the conquest of Jerusalem by the crusaders didn't last long, before it was reconquered by the Islamic hordes. I'm talking about the total rule of Islam over Jerusalem.



It would have ended in 1951 then... the holy land is worse off now than it has ever been in the last 1260 years.
Construction on the Dome of the Rock began in 685 AD, so it can well be argued that the trampling of the holy spot began then and ended in 1945.

Its amazing how "facts" are so questionable.

It seems to be very difficult to find anything that both sides can agree are facts.
Everything stated seems to be a "Myth" to one side.

So the OP title casts doubt on the OP post, right off the bat.

A fact is a pragmatic truth, a statement that can, at least in theory, be checked and confirmed.
Fact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I even wonder, if "facts" of ancient history are "facts" to both sides?

Islam is not the problem, blind faith is.

I'm in Canada for something like a month now and I didn't meet any racist or a fascist here the only thing some Canadians tried to do is to try and convert me. In America, well, it would be the opposite. And I'm living in a town that has more Churches then houses.

Then in rder to be a nation the USA haso kill all the Native Americans too????
