Just like many Protestants believe Catholics are idol worshippers, so do many Jews believe all Christians are idol worshippers. I was raised in an Orthodox Jewish home, and educated for 12 years in Orthodox Jewish schools, and I never heard such a thing said.

What did they have to say about Jesus? An old poster, TheSword, told me that he spelled Jesus as J***s (or something like that) because he'd been taught that so much harm had come to the Jews through His name that it was to be treated as a curse word. Also, what does someone call someone else who worships non-divine objects? Idol worshipper perhaps?

He favored the strict monotheism of Islam over the trinitarian belief of Christianity. But Christians accept the Tanakh as divinely inspired and true (even if they differ on matters of interpretation), while Islam believes that the Hebrew scriptures have been corrupted.
