worst enemy.Too much violence and hate in the name of religion.We need a little more compassion more love in our lives.
36. Masquerade
Dan ,   Germanu   (04.29.12)
Allah is the proper name of the islamic deity. If it was the same Gd as the Gd of Abraham, Isaac and Jakob then why dont Muslims use his proper description and Name as mentioned in the Tanakh like Jews and Christians do? If you do some research you will trace the origins to HuBaal, the Moon god of Arabia. This Allah is only masquerading as the same god to fool us all.
37. Oh and Sarah B, you're clearly racist. Go get a life!
AQ ,   Jerusalem   (04.29.12)
38. seeds of hatred
W , yousef ,   Palestine   (04.29.12)
The authour simply trying to create more differences and seek to promote hatred, rather than understanding. In Quraan there is averse which says that all religions must be just for Allah ,Jews ,moslims and chrestians lived and can can live together as it was happened in history ,the politicians cant mislead us the truth !
39. Dear Ynet editor this op-ed is incitement & slander
Adina ,   Israel   (04.29.12)
it contains racist slurs. It violates your TB rules. It is not clear to me why you published it. and for the record Mr. Calic, sir, your extremely stupid is showing up along with your butt naked right wing tea party political agenda. Whattcha think, Sir, that we are a bunch of silly Jews who are going to line up and follow your words? No way Sir, No Way! Go on then get off our page!
40. OH MY GOODNESS.. DAN YOU ARE REDICULOUS
...DACON9   (04.29.12)
THE hebrew printed in the same book as the xtians is blasphemy, is a sin an insult a transgreesion of the first and second commandment. Any hebrew ''bibles'' printed with xtian writings is NOT BY HASHEM BUT BY THE MISSIONAREIS. They were twisted mistranslated and lied by those xtian writers. The xtian writers inserted and made assumptions to validate a false mangod. HOW CAN YOU DAN CALIC WRITE THIS NONSENSE UNLESS YOU TOO ARE NOT A JEW.
41. #30: Arab Christians pray to Allah?
Steve   (04.29.12)
Please read Giulio Meotti's opinion piece, "Bethlehem’s last Christians?" You say Arab Christians pray to Allah. Maybe that is why they said such unkind things about the Jews when interviewed by CBS News anchor Bob Simon for 60 Minutes.
42. It's funny,,,, yes indeed but 1 G-d
Glen ,   Queens   (04.29.12)
These 3 faiths originate in/from the cultures of black people, the Chaldeans/Sumerians our Abraham, the Israelites in the land of Canaan/Egypt, son of Ham, Black Egyptian people, Jacob's funeral was so great it seemed all of Egypt mourned and no distinction between Israelites and Egyptians was seen, as for Eber his descendants inhabited most of Arabia, Joktan, Saba, why is there always a need to make a distinction between the truth, history and a common real reality, the G-d of mankind is definitely one, maybe the g-d of the white people(no pun) who want to be Jews is not, but Issac and Ismael came together to bury their Father Abraham and I am certain they weren't praying to 2 different G-ds,,,,, Damn I wish this Devil leave us alone in PEACE.
43. There are only two ways be and that is Noahide or a Jew.
BenTzion ,   USA/Israel   (04.29.12)
44. #7 You're right, Rambam said the contrary
Yossef   (04.29.12)
And I stick with the Rambam, me too.
45. #22 Oded : +1000
Yossef   (04.29.12)
46. Very over due article -- Thank you for addressing this......
Judy ,   Israel   (04.29.12)
VERY IMPORTANT SUBJECT I don't know why the rabbis don't deal with this. What Rambam said about Islam being monotheistic has also caused serious problems. There is NO WAY the Muslims pray to the G-d of the Jews and Christians. The G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob doesn't lie and would never say "kill the infidels". But I agree, clergy saying the do is very dangerous because it suggests religious and moral equivalence.
47. I'm glad that the most agree this article is rubbish
AQ ,   Jerusalem   (04.29.12)
48. Oh and Sarah B, clearlyyou're racist. Go get a life.

49. Fundemental values
Fritz ,   GE   (04.29.12)
For Jews is not lying. Hmm thats an interesting one . Is that practiced by Jews outside Israel then? This piece is nothing more than a racist piece of crap undeserving of any national newspaper irrespective of its leanings
50. True Christianity has -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (04.29.12)
- Abram as their Father o Faith, He is therefore called Abraham, the Father of Many. True Christianit has nothing in common with Islam because, Islam in the Koran explicitly, is the only Religion which by direct Words denies the resurection from the Dead of Jesus our Messiah and Christ. In Short !. Arn.Sweden.
51. TheTrue GOD of Christianity is -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (04.29.12)
( forgive me for writing HIS NAME ) - "Adonaj JEHOVAH Elohim Sebaot " !!!. Arn.Sweden.
52. #23 Jews Alive Back Then Did Him In.
ltrail ,   USA   (04.29.12)
Wrong on Two or Three Points: 1, He is alive and in heaven. 2. He is both God and man. 3. Jews didn't do Him in; Roman soldiers (gentiles, goy) did him in. 4. Like the Jewish sacrificial lamb, He allowed Himself to be slaughtered 5. Jesus, the man, IS a Jew. Laugh away. One day you'll be confronted by Him; face to face. Shalom.
53. The name "Christain" is really a messed up term
Curtis ,   USA   (04.29.12)
The problem is that some sectors of the so-called "Christian" world have made up their own religion, even to the extent of attempting to change Yahweh's Word and His attributes. These heretical segments have no right to even refer to themselves as "Christian" and are an abomination to everything Yahweh stands for. The authentic Christianity was the early Church founded in Israel, made up of Jewish people. "To the Jew first, but also to the Gentile." This early church still exists. As Yahweh said: "I will grant salvation in Zion and My glory to Israel." Yeshua's (Jesus's) name means "salvation".
54. Inshallah
Avramele   (04.29.12)
Inshallah, yirtze hashem, god willing all three religions will chill and embrace a good dose of secularism. As Tchernichovsky said in one of the most beautiful Hebrew poems: laugh laugh on my dreams...laugh because in humanity I believe. Inshallah!
55. Marsha #24: All faiths "equally" prone to violence?
Steve   (04.29.12)
Unlike the jihad - which is global / universal in scope - ancient Israel's "violence" was limited to the land of Canaan. Christianity has had its history of violence and intolerance, but today? On September 11, 2001 did it occur to you, Jewish or Christian terrorists flew those planes into the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon? Did you think it might be followers or Pat Robertson or a prominent rabbi? Granted there is the exceptional Jewish or Christian who perpetrates an act of terror but isn't it the exception rather than the rule? Do Jews and Christians today encourage or celebrate acts of gratuitous violence on the part of our faithful?
56. #23 You may want to read up on what Christians believe .
DEB ,   WashDC   (04.29.12)
They worship Jesus Christ, who they believe was fully God and fully man. O course Christians and Jews worship the same God. Jews and Catholics hold largely to works righteousness; Reformed Christians, to righteousness thru God's grace alone by faith alone in Christ alone (but a faith that's 'not alone'). Christians are commanded (Matt. 28) to go unto all nations of the world and offer salvation thru Christ. Remember Jesus was a Jew.
57. To: No. 37
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.29.12)
What does the "AQ" stand for? Al Qaeda? Go worship some more death and destruction. That's the only thing that you are capable of doing, and very soon, you will be doing it elsewhere.
58. To: No. 38
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.29.12)
It is Islam which sows the seeds of hatred. You lose the right to complain when you reap what you sow.
59. Terrible article
Adam ,   Herndon, VA USA   (04.29.12)
This is one of the least judicious articles I've read on Ynet. Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Bahai all base themselves on the •same• Abrahamic understanding of the divine. Politics may drive us apart, but surely we can still see our common spiritual heritage.
60. #25 Incorrect
Malachai   (04.29.12)
Strongs H423. Look it up. The word "alah" in Hebrew is CURSE.
