Yes. Islamic apologist websites very often are deeply rascist against the Jews. You won't find any intellectually honest people espousing your conspiracy theories that the Jews run the world.

RE:"The eastern European Jews, who form 92 per cent of the world's population of those people who call themselves Jews, were originally Khazars. They were a warlike tribe who lived deep in the heart of Asia. And they were so warlike that even the Asiatics drove them out of Asia into eastern Europe. They set up a large Khazar kingdom of 800,000 square miles. At the time, Russia did not exist, nor did many other European countries. The Khazar kingdom was the biggest country in all Europe -- so big and so powerful that when the other monarchs wanted to go to war, the Khazars would lend them 40,000 soldiers. That's how big and powerful they were." This is interesting. Are there any DNA studies to substantiate this claim? Where and when did these Khazars live? Khazars From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. [edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:History_of_Russia&action=edit)] History of Russia Early East Slavs Khazars Kievan Rus' Volga Bulgaria Mongol invasion Golden Horde Muscovy Khanate of Kazan Khanate of Astrakhan Siberia Khanate Crimean Khanate Imperial Russia Revolution of 1905 Revolution of 1917 Civil War Soviet Union Russian Federation The site of the Khazar fortress at Sarkel. Aerial photo from excavations conducted by M. I. Artamanov in the 1930's.The Khazars were a semi-nomadic Turkic people from Central Asia, many of whom converted to Judaism. The name 'Khazar' seems to be tied to a Turkic verb meaning "wandering". In the 7th century AD they founded an independent Khaganate in the Northern Caucasus along the Caspian Sea, where over time Judaism became the state religion. At their height, they and their tributaries controlled much of what is today southern Russia, western Kazakhstan, eastern Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and the Crimea. The Khazars were important allies of the Byzantine Empire, and were a major regional power at their height. They fought a series of successful wars against the Arab Caliphates, probably preventing an Arab invasion of Eastern Europe. By the end of the tenth century, their power was broken by the Kievan Rus, and the Khazars largely disappeared from history. The possible Khazar contribution to the bloodline of modern Ashkenazi Jews is politically sensitive and has been the subject of much discussion, but most geneticists now believe that it is not substantial.

It is folks like you who don't do your homework that have made the world dangerous for America and Americans. And you think your approach is helping? Your argument is that the Jews are bad people because they have a history of doing bad things. Well, Christians have a history of doing bad things too but you don't attack them. Why? In fact, its people like you that make it very difficult to attack the policies of Israel. You fuel the case of anti Semiticism so well that its become the defense du jour that Israel uses whenever they are attacked. Why don't you and Emile try sticking to the facts instead of promoting your own biases? You would be lot more effective and the world would be a better place.
