They are not. In Christianity and Judaism, the Jews are God's chosen people, in Islam they are called infidels and are supposed to be killed. God is not two-faced. No, in Judaism, the belief was that Jews were God's chosen people--and even in Judaism there are fundamentalists and non-fundamentalists (c.f. orthodox/non-orthodox). That belief has been challenged in scholarly Jewish circles--and if you would would like proof of that, look up some information on a rabbi named Richard Rubenstein, for starters. Jesus was killed by some ignorant Romans. But I'm not out to berate Roman Catholicism because I know too many fine Roman Catholics whom I love and respect. I love and respect their ideals, their minds, and their hearts. But I can say the same about Jews and Muslims too. So those who revile me for not being "Christian" enough in this forum ought to do some hard thinking, because I figure they are missing out on some wonderful people who are precious to God; but they are missing out because they don't know any better.

Hah! Jesus was killed by some ignorant Romans. Posted by eaglebeak Amazing! The Jews seem to claim they were responsible for the death of Yeshua since they said emphatically, "Let his blood be upon our heads ..." You are in way over your head, dude! Step away and let the big dogs run. Step up here on the porch with me and enjoy the race. Baruch HaShem Adonai Yeshua HaMashiach</font color=red>

I agree that individual Muslims could be very good moral people. But I also happen to know atheists who lead good moral lives and never hurt anyone. Even Muslims seem to believe that the terrorists are Muslims who got too involved in their religion, that doesn't seem to be a problem in other faiths.
