But America was founded on the principles of Christianity and Christianity is founded on the principles of Judaism (in terms of the Old Testament). In a strange way, Christianity spread Judaism to every part of the globe (in terms of the Torah and Old testament). People all around the globe know of Abraham and Isaac, David and Saul, Joseph and Jacob, and Moses...because of the work of Christian missionaries.

America is founded on the principle that God created man to be free and live by the 10 Commandments which as such provided a foundation for our system of laws. The way men treat each other and conduct business with each other in America is all based on the Old and New Testament. The American conscience is a product of the same.

And the funny thing about the American system is that it works (even though there are those who want to destroy it from within and without).

While we might say that muslims worship a different god, Christians and Jews worship the same God. And to the best of their ability they live as the same Creator would have them live (albeit by some different rules and rites).;-)

Gug g’zukt!!! (you said well!!...in Yiddish)

Maimonides in his work Mishnah Torah states that Islam and Christianity are “formatting” the world for Monotheism.

Did you know that you had so much in common with an 11th century Spanish Jew?
