>Most accounts suggest that from the 12th century to the 20th, there was relative peace among the three religions. Were there disputes? Of course.....but nothing like we saw in the 20th century. Right, but in the same way that there was peace for Jews in Poland, Russia, and Germany. The Jews and the Christians in the Arab world just had to be content with being oppressed most of the time (not always). Except for the aristocracy, most peoples of the world including non Jews were oppressed during that time. Freedom from oppression is a relatively new phenomenon......and even now, found in only a few countries. Not for moment do I think life was wonderful for the different religious groups living in the ME prior to Zionist emigration. However, I do think their co existence was fairly peaceful, and to some degree, productive. To this day, I don't understand what Herschel was thinking when he decided almost unilaterally to set up a new Jewish state in Palestine. It would be like the Amish trying to set up a farm collective in Harlem. ted
