All faith and cultures were more savage in the 17th century.
During this time, the Christian faiths were extremely anti-semitic. Many Jews found refuge in....the Ottoman Empire.

Load the gun.

That one definitely works.

By the way, anyone know what the author was referring to with his reference to "What on earth happened on the fifth of June, 1968?"

Is that Azerimardinarjacket's birthdate or something to that effect?

Most likely.
Islam means peace.

President Hillary Clinton
Aw, now you're gonna have me unable to sleep at night! Probably not as bad as President John McCain, tho...

Of course it's worse. I'm already on the VAAPCON list.

I was thinking it would be "I am you", but those words wouldn't shake up another traveler.

But I'm pretty certain that in the context of the story, the traveler turns out to be himself.

Can you figure out the three words?

I think the words are, "I am you."

Three words that any Replayer or time traveler visiting here from a century or more from now would react to first and most emotionally

Let sanctions work.

No Ahmadinejad is older than that.

June 5 has been an interesting day in history - especially in the 1960's...

June 5, 1968 Sirhan Sirhan shoots Bobby Kennedy, who dies next day
June 5, 1967 6 day war between Israel and Arab neighbors begin
June 5, 1963 State of siege proclaimed in Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini arrested
