That was G-d's Will as told directly to the prophets. We do not believe there have been any prophets since the time of the prophets. Can you think of any time since the prophets that Jews have gone about murdering people for practicing another religion? You'll have to try and find something besides the Christian Bible to make your case since Jews do not regard it as historical fact.

Is your ultimate argument that Christians were right to murder Jews and should continue to do so? Please answer yes or no.

Also, you never explained the following statement:

How is throwing open the gates of the holy city of Toledo to the Moors during the invasion part of "tolerantly living under Islam" and not "collaboration with the invaders"?

Who "threw open the gates" and why is Toledo a "holy city?"

It is also enshrined in the Levitical Legal Code.

The Maccabean Revolt.

The existence of Jesus and his execution at the behest of the Jews is not an historical fact? The Talmud thinks it is, and gladly takes credit for it.

No. Where did I ever say that? I said the Inquisition was perfectly legitimate for chasing down Catholics trying to destroy the Church and overthrow the State by breaking their oaths and subverting religion, morality, and public order. I questioned why you called chasing down heretics persecuting Jews. Is every heretic a Jew?

The Sephardi Jews of Spain threw open the gates. See the Sephardi website I linked to up thread.

Toledo is a Holy City because it was the seat of the Primatial Archbishop of Spain, like Lyons for France, Rome for Italy, Canterbury for England.
