"Well, then, Martin, you have a lot in common with the Muslims. They only focus on the one God too. Sublime simplicity. So why all this rumpus in Palestine? :-)"

Oddly enough, I thought it was a family dispute. You see there were these two half-brothers, Isaac and Ishmael (according to most the ancestor of the Arab people and Mohammed himself)...

I also seem to remember that Mohammed forbade Mulims from harming either Jews or Christians and that Jews were treated quite well and free to practice their own religion in Jerusalem right up to the first Crusades when the Crusaders (I'm loath to call them Christians) got everyone messed up.
