The Christians where the ones who attacked the Muslims for no reason. Ever heard of the Crusades?

That was written in a time where the Jews were on the constant brink of extinction. Now, when the Earth is 7 billion strong and growing, I think that we can afford to have the messages of love from the more important parts of the Torah prevail, just as they were always meant to. Because quite frankly, there are many of them who aren't in need, and trying to infiltrate and start mass-shootings like yesterday's (yes, I'm aware he wasn't a refugee, but that doesn't make them incapable of doing that).

The Crusades were provoked by Islam, genius. The Turks were attacking Europe (they even attacked the Vatican), so they sent crusaders to stop them. It wasn't until later on that everything went horribly wrong.

Argali, as Jews and Christians, we can't believe that the Torah and the Bible are simply books that men wrote to start a cause. We are supposed to believe that our holy books are the word of God, and that they were given to men through revelation. If you discard one part, you may as well discard everything. If they're lying about one part, then how can any of it be seen as reliable?
