Re: Arabs, Jews, and Cheeseburgers...........
This is exactly so:
[ QUOTE ]
Jews were not oppressed in Arab lands. Muslims considered Jews and Christians people of the "book" and considered that their religion should be respected. This is precisely what caused problems for Jews in the western world and in Russia: their religion. While Jews were considered dhimmi, and thus were not of the same status as Muslims, oppression is the wrong word to apply to Jewish life in Arab/Muslim states. No historian who has studied Jewish existence in Arab states comes to this conclusion
[/ QUOTE ]
Jews have been oppressed almost exclusively only by Christians.
