The West is not safe for Jews. For more than ten years hate crimes per capita in the US against Jews exceed Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Muslims and gays combined. FBI stats. Jews in France get killed at such a regular occurrence it is a basically a sport.

Nice spin on the Quran- now you can discuss the Muslim armies sweeping over Africa slaughtering the Jewish Berbers there. You can discuss Jews from Palestine to Yemen who had to pay crushing taxation, forbidden to defend themselves, own a horse, had to ride a donkey side saddle, not have a house taller than a Muslim, not wear shoes in the Muslim areas in the city(when the King of Morocco changed that edict, Jews begged for it to be changed back because of the pogrom that ensured.)

Hebron, Safed and Tiberious had regular pogroms. Jews who moved back to Palestine in the 1800s, 50 years before Zionism and who legally bought land, were attacked and their crops destroyed and appeals to local tribal chiefs were told the land was waqf and Muslim forever and they didn't care that Jews had legally bought it.

I don't hate Arabs and I don't hate Muslims. I have spent half my life in Muslim majority countries and regions. I speak Arabic, Turkish, Uzbek and Bahasa Indonesian. I have read the Quran many times in Arabic, studied fiqh and Islam and Judaism are much closer, especially in their mystic tradition, than Judaism and Christianity. My criticism of Christians is much greater, but your whitewashing and denial of history is abhorrent.
