Many centuries earlier Mohammed and his felow Muslims killed the Jews with the same savagery.

Horrible !

Sometimes is better not to know. Otherwise, you question the very essence of being human.

Ya, and the very essence of humans is a savage beast lurking inside battling the internal primative forces of survival and newly-found and invented forces of morality.

Dear Rea,

On the contrary I think we must know, or otherwise we may get too deep in fantasies.

Dear Cop,

In this case of course it is not survival. It is hate, and in the case of Mohammed, hate and greed.

@CoP, I still believe there is more good than evil in most of us.

My dear @divaneh, coming from a nation that slaughtered Jews mercilessly in concentration camps, believe me I know (precisely why I'm today more indulgent than I should be when it comes to Israel).
