I was wondering if anyone knows about the turn over in the Jewish Christian relations. These two people long persecuted each other on conflicting religious beliefs and historical issues. It is also said that Jesus was crusified by Jewish. But observing the recent dynamics of their relationship, it appears they have come to friendly terms, have accepted each other, and some christians even think that jewish will also go to heaven. You might have heard of the term “Judio-Christian” state for America. When did it happen and how?

If I am correct, Christians believe that they will convert Jews to christianity at the end of days. Also, Jesus's family was Jew too.

What a self righteously insecurity laden statement. :)
Maybe the question is that hindus, jews and christians can live in peaceful coexistence with each other and muslims simply cannot. Does that fit well?
Even in present times, there are still some very orthodox christian followers, just as there are orthodox jews and very ardent hindus. And at the same time, we find a lot of what is commonly known as "liberal" christians and jews and hindus. Similarly in Islam, you find some people who are totally immersed in their deen, and some who take it much casually.
The only difference probably is that amongst muslims a much higher percentage will like to refer themselves as what is known as conservative about religious beliefs and adherence to commandments and rules. There are over all fewer muslims as a percentage of total populace who can be deemed "liberal". At best, this is how I translate armughal's statement, that this percentage will remain low in muslims.
Oh yeah Hindus can coexist peacefully. Occasionally though, they get the benign urge of burning a few thousand Muslims, killing a few Christian missionaries here and there, other then that it’s ok. :k:

but pakistanis are questioning secularism in india while it is blasphamous in pakistan. word secular is dirty in pakistan.
It was 1500 years before freedom of thought and practice was brought about by the Christian Reformation. It just takes time for religions to work out the kinks.
Freedom of Thought and Practice has been with mankind from the beginning of Human Creation!
This is not a new phenomenon.
It was a gift given to us from Allah Almighty. It's called CHOICE.
What you should be saying is that Christain teachings took nearly 1500 years to be completely changed by man, to be controlled by man, for the whims of individuals!
