I aske my rabbi friend last night why Jews and Moslems cant get along? Yes, there are big differences between our belief systems but ethnically, we have similarities that are undeniable. I am talking about the moderate, non-extremist branches of both groups. Anyway, our ritual dress is similar, for men anyway. Our dietary and cleanliness laws are similar. Even our languages are similar. We have so much in common, why do we fight? His answer? Who are the biggest fights between? I asked for his answer. He said, family. If you want to take the Bible literally, Isaac, the patriarch of the Jews and Ishmael, the patriarch of the Moslems both had the same father, Abraham. Even if you take that metaphorically, the two are connected. A great big family feud thats lasted thousands of years. I asked, how do we make it stop? He said, that is a question he can not answer. However, if we could, wouldnt that be a blessed day?
