Would You, as a Human Being, be Willing to Shake Hands with a Jew?

[Al B. Sure!]

It would be interesting to see if any of these Jew-haters would know of the early alliance of Jews with the Arabs against the Romans/Christians. That resulted in very good relations between Jew and Muslim that lasted for a very long time.

blah? what the hell are you talking about? if you're talking about the city of Yathrib's acceptance of the early converts, that was hardly an alliance against anyone but the Quarish

[Heresson]

no, no, I think He means Jews supported Muslims in their early conquests - which is true

[Ned]

Speer, I was thinking mainly of Jerusalem, 632, and of Gothic Espania, 710-....

[Al B. Sure!]

as did Coptics... Nestorians... Monophysites... what's the point?

[Heresson]

Copts revolted against Muslim sevral times just a bit later.

[Heresson]

And the point is none of these are hated today

Oh, btw, what do You say about Banu Qurayza?

As is yours about the US. The US is not a Jewish nation, Saudi Arabia is an Islamic one. You'd need to compare the opinions of the people of a Jewish nation towrds the Palestinians for it to be a fair comparison.

I've never met an Israeli who had never shaken an Arab's hand. But don't let me shatter your cherished illusion that the reason that so many Arabs are extreme bigots is because of the existence of a place 99% have never been, or the actions of a group of people 99% have never met.

Actually, you did see such things in the 19th Century. On the ever expanding (or contracting depending on which side of it you lived), American Indians practiced warfare every bit as savage as the Americans. We just had guns and numbers on our side, and we could wipe out their food source and kill 90% of their population. When 9 out of every 10 people are killed, your will to fight is broken.

I hope you aren't suggesting we should committ genocide.

Heavens no, it's much cheaper to pay or induce others to commit genocide.

Yes they did.
Mass emmigration of Jews organised by zionist movement started before ww2

Still, it reminds me my favourite quote of Khomeini.
"Those who claim they believe in Jesus say He's said: //give your second cheek for a blow//. Absurd. Jesus would've never said that.
He'd rather deal with such person the way Moses dealed with Egyptians"

By running away to Israel?

I would shake the hand of a Jew, but only after vivisecting it.

I'd like to think you are referring to the hand, but I'm not sure that you aren't referring to the Jew instead.

European media?

The Saudis listen to that bastion of liberalism, the BBC?

I'm sorry Oncle Boris, but that remark was in extremely poor taste.

Wow Heresson, what's your second favourite quote by Khomeini? The first was a beauty!

[Heresson]

I've heard about one more, a fatwa about one sexual uh problem...
But I doubt its athenticy, it looks like a joke, if Iran wasn't such a strange state I would never even think of that it may be true, and anyway it's a family-friendly site
