To stop the advance of Christianity, individual Arab kings initially converted to Judaism. The entire ruling class of the realm eventually followed suit.

Interesting: so the Arab living today are decedents of people who converted to Judaism ?

Some of the most anti-Semite people on the face of the planet are from a Jewish heritage???

That should make some turbans tighten up a bit...LOL

There were Jewish kings in Yemen before Islam. One, a convert, persecuted Christians (though one needs to see it in the socio-religious sense, not just as religious persecution).
