Hey, Rabi. u are talking of condemning violance by muslims how a bout Jews burrying palestenian kids with buldozers? Actually palestenians were the brothers who welcomed U after Hitler expelled u from German, and now they are ur slaves in there on land. U don't feel ashamed of ur self talking a bout violance?

fear factor in Quran is a warning to the unheedful . GOD is not helpless against them

@saulboyjt I suggest you to take a look at the first part or the second where the Rabbi himself said Muslims and the Jews were living as brothers in the past.

Second you are forgetting the Old Testament which should take the price for the violent book ever!

[EternalGreen2012]

the messiah, didnt come to controll and posess us, and make us into Robots, Shmuley has a backwards idea of it. Why would the messiah come and be just a evil and controlling as the dictators of history! I beleive that the messiah will return when humanity, is mature enough to evolve and no longer kill anyone!

[Curiousquest2]

Rabi is confused and does not have ground to argue on the debats.

@ABYARE

The muslims have a history of death and violence and destruction they have brought on humanity.

The Jews on the other hand are defending themselves from vicious muslim attackers who have more land then anyone in this world.

So stop with this shitty and disgusting unfounded comparisons, youre not making any sense.

There was never a palestine, but Israel is the most famous nation in the whole world.
