ed note–once again, prima face evidence of how a perfectly-good brain, once pickled in the salty, toxic, and acidic brine of Judah-ism and its cauldron of lies and deception retains no connection with objective reality WHATSOFREAKINGEVER.
Now, a few ‘protocols’ that need to be carefully considered by any Gentile with a keen interest in his/her own future survival–
Our dishonest rebbe quotes Leviticus that ‘Thou shalt not avenge nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself’ and proffers this passage as ‘proof’ that Judah-ism and its followers are not out to destroy Christianity or Islam…
HOWFREAKINGEVER, what must be remembered is that this particular section dealing with the issue of ‘loving thy neighbor’ means ONLY fellow Hebrews, Shebrews, Israelites, Judahites, etc, and not ‘the goyim’, a matter that was settled clearly and concretely thousands of years ago and which was a SERIOUS point of contention between Jesus Christ and the deranged Judeans in His own time period when he abrogated the ‘traditional’ teachings found in Leviticus by including Gentiles in His parable of the Good Samaritan.
Nexto–
‘True, Jews value their own identity and tradition as true and sacred, and they do indeed say in their morning prayers, ‘Blessed art Thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has not made me a gentile’, but this does not indicate contempt for members of gentile faiths…’
Can we all IMAGINE the tidal wave of shrieking, screeching, rending of robes and gnashing of teeth in which the organized forces of anti-Gentilism would engage if Christians or Muslims said a similar prayer every morning, thanking the creator that he/she had been made a Gentile and not ‘a Jew’?

The question can be asked–Does Judaism have a negative attitude towards Islam?
The history of inter-religious relations has its highly unpleasant chapters, for reasons that are rather obvious.
There have been times of immense hostility, especially with regards to Christian and Islamic attitudes towards Jews. The pain and persecution which Jews have suffered at the hands of its daughter faiths has generally been excruciating.
But Judaism has never tried to eradicate Christianity or Islam and has followed the doctrine that the other faiths are in error but must be given respect.
However, the great Jewish teacher Maimonides did draw a distinction between Christianity and Islam.
While seeing idolatrous elements in Christianity, Maimonides said concerning Islam that ‘The Ishmaelites are not idolaters. They assign unity to God, the Supreme One, and their heart is directed to Heaven’.
In certain periods, the Muslims were generally more tolerant towards Jews than the Christians were, and Jews often held a position of respect and esteem in Muslim countries. The Jews themselves harbored no feelings of hatred or disrespect towards Muslims.
Likewise with the Biblical teaching (Lev. 19:18), ‘Thou shalt not avenge nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself’.
True, Jews value their own identity and tradition as true and sacred, and they say in their morning prayers, ‘Blessed art Thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has not made me a gentile’, but this does not indicate contempt for members of gentile faiths.
