Sayid of Sweden, now that is a joke. Thousands of Jews came from Kurdistan. You know, northern Iraq, southern Turkey. The Kurds number 5 million people and have no state. Taken from them by the British when they formed Iraq into a country. If you know anything you would know that now they are very much independent and have an enormous amount of power in Iraq.

you will hang onto anything to make false history!!! yes, the jews were opressed, murdered, pogromed against, killed, rioted against, secluded in ghettos called mellas to live in poverty, had to kiss muslim feet upon greeting, could not have witnesses in court unless they were muslims, had no rights under the law to own homes, properties land and businesses, had no civil rights but only of dihimis, second class citizens of the muslim countries, constant riots and burnning of synagogues to rile the arab mob when there was pressure on the islamic rulers to deflect bad attention from them, accusing jews of random crimes and hanging them whenever they muslims saw fit, jews had to pay a jizya, a tax, exhorbitant under islamic rule for islamic protection...which was basically extortion of their money and accomplishments, severe hate speeches in mosques about jews and israel or even before israel was born. need i say more??? the only book YOU MUST READ TO FINALLY FIND OUT HOW JEWS FAIRED IN MUSLIM LANDS IS... the forgotten million go read it and open your mind. it is a falacy and a myth that jews were happy and safe under any muslim ruler. the contrary and opposit is the truth! nazir aboulafia acre
