re: #742 Walter L. Newton

I never stated a start, I said Islam built on the existing anti-semitism. That may have been Islam’s jumping off point, but Islam was not going to get any Christian disagreeing with them at the time.

Not arguing that, but as I understand it , the Prophet thought that Jews would join him in his anti western religion & became infuriated when they didn’t. That is when he strated taking slaves & executing.
Your point about the rampant anti semitism is well taken.
