61. True Christians
Steven ,   SD, USA   (05.13.12)
True Christians love the Jews and Israel. Basim, the truth about the Jews is this: they are God's chosen people, whom He won't turn his back on. The only one going to save them, as well. Israel is a mighty nation, but don't fear their arms, fear God
62. Mr. Author...
Mike S ,   Phoenix, USA   (05.13.12)
... you've just wasted precious minutes of my life that I will never get back again.
63. Is Religious War Coming?
David ,   Germany   (05.13.12)
It’s not a question of right or wrong, its survival!! The Islam will need to understand that the days of using our democracy to later enslave us are coming to an end. Look around and see what they’re doing to Christian and Jewish communities! Enough is enough! Maybe they need to get a taste of their own medicine! It’s easy to be a pacifist when you’re not affected by Islam persecution! Let them now be warned!!! We have our limits…and its getting close!!!
64. A different alliance
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (05.13.12)
Hungarian antisemites have a different opinion on the question. In their websites frequently declared that the world's most perfect country is Iran, and the palestinians are freedom fighters against jewish world supremacy. No other far right party has same wiews in Europe, but hungarian Jobbik has. Most recently even Jobbik members are beginning to lough on the issue, and choose to leave these idiots.
65. Mr. Meotti is totally right
Steven Rosen ,   US   (05.13.12)
But that alliance won't take place, since hatred between jews and christians is too deep
66. Should we trust christian Arabs?
Raphael ,   Netanya   (05.13.12)
Names like Michel Aflak, Georges Habbash, Hilarion Capucci should awaken some prudence. Christian Arabs are the true fathers of arab nationalism and "secularism". Trying to deflect muslim anti christian rage against the Jews, they introduced into ME the western antisemitic themes (blood libel, Protocols, later Fascism). Now they are reaping what they have sown.
67. Include Hindus in this new coalition.
Reuven   (05.13.12)
That will make us stronger in opposing the radical Islamist onslaught.
68. Meotti
ROY ,   USA   (05.13.12)
Mr. Meotti always writes with a clear vision of the truth;this inevitably rankles those who are so keen on cowering to the threats around them.
69. Nina NyC and hate speech
Baruch Shimshon   (05.13.12)
Nina, the truth is not hate speech. CAIR is looking for liars and obfuscators though.
70. Yet the roman catholic is anti - Israel
calabi ,   Sydney Aust   (05.13.12)
What is so sickening is the Vatican Roman Catholic is a De-facto anti- semantic.
71. past performance indicative.....
i ,   jerusalem   (05.13.12)
Islam was spread by the sword, and for the greater good of civilization, it must be unspread by the sword. The christians of the past failed to route the muslims permanently because they got distracted in killing and pillaging the Jew along the way. For the next great West/East existential fight, it would be wise for the West to fitler out those ADD elements, leaving just those who can focus on the real threat, and eliminate it successfully.
72. such a stupid article the author didnt even leave their name
rg ,   Jtown   (05.13.12)
good luck when your country collapses due to hatred and ethnocentricity
73. To N 19, David
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (05.13.12)
Mr. David. True Christians, like me, are your brothers and do love Israel. In fact, the sins committed by our churches against your people were terrible. We have recognized it a lot of times. Nevertheless, there were some lights into the shadows. Do you know that Maximilian Kolbe, a Polish priest, offered himself to die, in Auschwittz, instead of a Jewish child? Probably, not. Today (2012), those ignorances and prejudices represent a trash into world's history. Our God is the same. We share common values. We have to be united, not against Islam, but against its bad leaders which don't permit the real progress for their peoples. Salutes.
74. #72 talk about stupid
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (05.13.12)
You can't even read - his name is right on top - just BEFORE the headline. Maybe when and if you ever get your head out your ass you will be able to understand - but as dumb as you are I seriously doubt that.

solomon ,   bklyn   (05.13.12)
True, in that governments did not put the plight of the Jews high on their list. But we should not forget the many Righteous Gentiles who did help. True, there should have been more. True, the trees to commemorate them at Yad Vashem should be a large forest. But ‘don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”.
76. Jews+Christians united
F@Wian ,   Nuremberg, Germany   (05.13.12)
I'm a follower of Jesus. I love His people and will always stand up for Israel.
77. Jake @59
(05.13.12)
Shut up Jake and try and figure out whats going on in the world...
78. #20 WAKE UP TO REALITY

79. ...really?
Jake ,   Wichita USA   (05.13.12)
Christians "stood by" and watched 6,000,000 Jews murdered?? Pretty sure Jews, Christians & non-believers helped destroy the Nazi regime that comitted those atrocities.
80. xtians v moslems
moron ,   galut   (05.14.12)
last time during crusades they both killed th jews instead of eachother
81. #60: Wrong numbers
Walter ,   Germany   (05.14.12)
According to Gorbachev who opened some Russian archives in 1985 we are talking about 27 million dead. Beginning of the 90s Yazov mentioned the number of 37 million dead. But the Russians are too proud to be seen as victims. Because of this the number of 20 millions was a long time the official one.
82. Are you wetting your pants?
Walter ,   Germany   (05.14.12)
There a 0,5% Arabs in Germany. The largest group of "Muslims" are Turks and Bosniaks who don't care about religion because they are as athestic as the Germans. There are less than 5% people from Muslim countries in Germany. You are really wetting your pants because of 0,5% Arabs? No wonder that "Angst" had made his was into the English language.
83. #42 nina
solomon ,   bklyn   (05.14.12)
“We all know” who is trying to spread Islamophobia all over the world; the muslims. They do it by their actions. And accusing anyone else of doing it is just vile hate speech. Keep your eyes shut tight if you want. The rest of us prefer to see reality.
84. #57 chemstar
solomon ,   bklyn   (05.14.12)
If Christians are brothers to Muslims, they should go find another family. The Islam we see exudes ignorance and hate and I am sorry you refuse to see it.
85. Infidels vs Islam
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (05.14.12)
In order to clarify the issue, it is whether or not so-called infidels, non-Muslims, shall unite against Muslims. Muslims, in accordance with their religion, are already united against infidels.
86. MR WRITER, YOU ARE SMPLY DAY DREAMING
LINDA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.14.12)
Wake up and shine your eyes to reality. Chriatians love Isalm than Judaism. Conduct a poll and see.
87. Christians were silent when Jews were wiped out
os   (05.14.12)
In the Muslim world.
88. Christians and Jews
Larry J. ,   Farmington, USA   (05.14.12)
As a Christian I am ashamed of what was done in the name of Christianity toward the Jews. Most of these were lead by the Catholic Church, which does NOT represent me. True Christians love the people of G-d and support them. We may disagree on who Messiah is but G-d will clear that up very soon. These are the Last Days and the Christians and Jews must stick together and stand up for the One true G-d. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Islam is a false religion and is a danger to the entire world. Satan is raising a mighty army to fight against G-d's people, but he will NOT win. Glory to G-d. Maranatha!
89. # 84..How could I have been so wrong about you...
Edithann ,   USA   (05.15.12)
I thought you might have had some brains, but I see you're a Zionist dolt after all, still selling that old disproven line... Is there a difference between a Zionist and a Jew...or is that an anti-Semitic question? TATA
90. Christians and Jews
Dennis L. ,   Tampa, FL USA   (05.15.12)
About time the Christian world took notice of the plight of their co-religionists within Muslim countries. Both Judaism and Christianity is under assault by a religious/political ideology that seeks to expel/kill/forcibly convert those who refuse to accept Islam as the one and true faith and vision of God.
