How are Jews and Christians treated in the Muslim Press? |
|
Edited on Tue Feb-07-06 12:38 PM by winston61
How are Christians and Jews portrayed in editorial cartoons in Muslim street? I have no idea. Can anyone provide links? I don't think it is fair to tar all of Islam with the behavior of these few causing the outbreaks.

1. Jews are treated very badly---and Jews don't burn embassies because of it. |

3. I have heard that Jews are badly treated |
|
and I am sorry for that. I think the hatred directed towards the Jews is now mainly because of Israel. I would be surprised if Christians were treated poorly, at least Palestinian Christians, because they still comprise a sizable minority of Palestinians. I don't know how Christians from other parts of the world are depicted in cartoons.

5. Never really treated well |
|
The period described in Marie Meoncal's book "The Ornament of the World" was a high point. Things were not that bad, however, until the post WW 1 breakup of the Ottoman Empire by the Allies. See William Engdahl's "A Century Of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order" and the companion Wikipedia article which describes the redrawing of the ME map (30 years before Israel). But redrawing the ME map and rewarding all manner of Shieks from the Arabian Peninsula with artificial countries all over the ME amplified the hatreds.

7. Thank you for this information |
|
I know that in the 1400s, Jews were allowed to live in Moorish Spain and practice their faith, though I believe in those early years people of the Book who weren't Muslim had to pay a special tax. Your links will allow me to find out more about the history of this part of the world.

8. I have recollections - from my "cheder" days |

that the situation in Persia was equally good.

4. So far I've seen pictures of racist versions of Jews marching in lockstep |
|
with Hitler with Swastikas on their arms.
Arafat nailed, ala Jesus, to the Star of David
A Jew pulling the strings of two Muslims aiming weapons at each other.
and that's yesterday

6. I saw a cartoon last year sometime |
|
that encouraged Arab children to become suicide bombers and kill Jewish citizens. Lovely, huh?
And somehow, the Jews managed to restrain themselves from burning down Arab embassies all over Europe. But maybe they just realize that the only people on the planet who have the right to demand that other people follow their own religious traditions are fundamentalist Muslims. :eyes:
