Secret_obsession....I don't necessarily agree with your viewpoing reagarding Jews....Historically Muslim rulers have went out of there way many times to help the Jews when they were about to be wiped out...Such as the Ottoman empire accepted all jews that were thrown out of Spain during the ferdinands conquest...aS well they were granted the Dhimmi..status there by protected minority group...As well...we have never committed anything close to the holocaust against the Jews...thats why we cannot be equated with the cristians in this regard...and it must be understood that one of the golden years for jews was during the muslim conquest of Spain.......I don;t hate jews but rather like them...but I hate Zionists...
Thanks Bhadsha and others ..
I thought jews have mistreated by all people...its nice knowing that mulsims have been kind to them they are to all others.

historically closly related people hate each other. nooutsider can understand why hutus
and tutsi hate each other despite sharing same faith. sameway pathans and other central
asian ethinic groups fight each other.

I agree you they will feel like an aliean because of language, environment and culture but necessarily because of religion.
Muslims keep their traditions wherever they go. Most born american pakistanis are not much aware of pakistani language and other aspects of culture but they are good muslims and strong believers.

yeaha it's human nature...which should not be justified by bringing religions in...because they teach humanity and peace.
