The question is: are we defining religions here as an entity in and of themselves or by the acts of its alleged followers? The dark history of Islam is not about the wrongdoings of over-zealous followers but rather a product of the religion itself, as an entity. The same cannot be said about the history of the Catholic (Christian) Church and thus the histories of the two are no where near comparable.

From my standpoint, it is only in the past several centuries that Jews were as safe in Christian lands as they were in Muslim. It's only in the past 50-100 years that the Christian world has become significantly more friendly towards Jews than the Islamic world.

From my standpoint, it is only in the past several centuries that Jews were as safe in Christian lands as they were in Muslim. It's only in the past 50-100 years that the Christian world has become significantly more friendly towards Jews than the Islamic world.

Why would Jews be more safe in the land governed by a holy book that exhorts its followers to kill Jews than in a land governed by those whose faith is based on the same God and scriptures as those of the Jews?
