re: #101 marjoriemoon

One very vicious Muslim hater by the name of Ploome Heinini claimed that the Rambam hated Muslims which was patently false by every scholar who has studied him. In fact, his family left Israel to move back to Egypt because of the terrible treatment of Jews by Christians in Israel as the time.

Mind you, some of the Muslim conquerors were just as vicious as the Christians, but not all. The Rambam found a better home among Muslims.

Ploome was a big fan of Baruch Goldstein IIRC (or someone of his ilk) so such statements are in no way surprising. They can never present Teh Enemy™ in a good light ever.
