Boaz,

You are back to your old tricks :-)

I am not into 'hear say' but rather facts and they are as follows:

- From a Muslim perspective, the Quranic references to jesus second coming is similar to the Gospel of Barnabos (ie second coming is about bringing peace to the world and correcting misrepresentations done under his name). There is no references in the Quran to Jesus fighting Jews, Italians or North Koreans :-)

- The hadith (sayings of the prophet) you quoted in sahih Muslim are just historian work. Most of the sources are nestorian christians and Arab Christian orthodox who had a stance on the Jews.

- History: throughout history, Muslim leaders like the famous salahudin, embraced the jewish people as 'people of the book'. Salahudin (saladin) top advisors and physician were followers of the Jewish faith. If it was a 'common islamic understanding'why did Muslims let jewish people live amongst them for 14 centuries from Iran and Medina to Morrocco?

- Jewish history shows that all persecutions they suffered was by followers of your faith, not Muslims.

Don't pick a view by a bunch of wahabbis (& some sects of Christianity) and dwell on it as a 'majority' view.

Can we stop talking about religion for a change? I am going to publish a couple of general articles this wekend and interested in a 'secular'discussion. Can you do that? :)

Peace,

Hi FH :)

mate..I used the term "large number".... not even majority.

I might have used 'vocal minority' and still would be accurate.. even a minority among 1.2Billion is a 'large number'....

UK mosques are 44% under the control of Wahabis mate.. I consider that a 'large number'...even though a minority...

Now..for picking on me.. no sugar in the next coffe I guy ya :)

cheers you suave business tycoon you :)
