mrnoodle,

I realize it strongly supports your case to say that, paraphrasing, Islam advocates destroying Jews. And I concede that there are certainly a lot of Muslims who dislike Jews. Probably a lot in Palestine.

But, as we've covered a lot in this thread, there's a difference between individuals who identify with a group holding an opinion and the doctrine which defines that group holding an opinion. And, although I skipped a few hundred posts in the middle, I believe you're saying that Islam, as a doctrine, is anti-Semitic. Not just particular Muslims.

If that's the case, I'm very curious as to what you base this statement on. A professor of mine once said that there really isn't just one Islam, but more a bunch of different islams. Sunni and Shi'ite, yeah, and enough subdivisions of that that it's really a difficult thing to count.

So what have you read that makes you think Islam hates Jews? Because I simply don't agree.
