Regarding the treatment of Jews under moslem rule.

Find me a reference to any Jew, past, present or future who yearns for the "good old days" of moslem rule in Spain and I will show you "taqquia".

The Jews of Spain were classified along with the moors as infidels after the final expulsion in 1491 and treated accordingly.

More telling would be accounts of the inhuman treatment of Jews and Christians by moslem rulers, past and present.

The inquisition no longer exists. The Catholic Church has since modernized and integrated into the secular civilized world. The same can not be said about ...islam, as established by mohamed, (pbuh)... which has remained entrenched in the 7th Century.

There is only one way to put an end to islamic barbarism.
