I'm sorry, I thought you were "sincerely asking" Christians why we preferred to side with Jews rather than Muslims. I guess that wasn't the point of the thread after all, and asking Christians what our opinions on the matter are was a pointless exercise?
It began as a sincere question but if immediately people commenting about what Muslims do instead of answer the OP itself then my response has to liken the responses that I receive. These are garbage answers because people aren't addressing what I'm writing in my original position. I'm clearly talking about the theological differences that exist between Christianity and Judaism and the Judaic opinion on Christian theology. I made this clear in the beginning! I never mentioned anything about the historical position between Islam and Christianity this is not what its about I clearly stated the fundamental differences and opinions of Jews concering Christianity. I even stated that it is permissible for Jews to pray in a mosque and not a church I made that clear.
Considering the Christian position concerning the deity Allah, Christians ought to wonder why a Jew is praying in an environment in the home of a supposed moon-god deity as some Christians had professed Allah is. In the "Epistle to Yemen" the Jewish philosopher Maimonides wrote about this.
Yes, in large part because Muslims have slowly been extirpating us from our Middle Eastern heartlands for the last 1400 years.
Which Muslims? Which government? What does this have to do with what I originally said that specifically was addressing the theology between all three?
You mean wars fought with the original purpose to regain Byzantine territory which Western nobles instead used to further their political ambitions, where the Crusaders also slaughtered many Christians and sacked Christian cities? Or the Fourth Crusade that saw the sacking of Constantinople and the permanent crippling of the Byzantine Empire? What about them?
I'm specifically talking about the 10,000 Franks that capture Jerusalem killing Muslims and Jews (innocent ones at that).
I don't see what Muslim infighting has to do with the systemic, centuries-long oppression of Christians.
But the object of the thread is to not discuss history because we can discuss the Crusades in depth elsewhere, but to answer your question, I'm referring to several of the Muslim dynasties that had different agendas. You're speaking as if in the entire history of Islam Christians were persecuted. Sure, there were Caliphs that did very bad things. Sure, there were Muslims that have terrorized other people but there are also good aspects of history that you are conveniently forgetting just as you conveniently aren't addressing the theological issue at hand. Judaic philosophical thought, holds you faith as
Avodah Zara. Christianity is tri-monotheism and heretical according to the Jewish opinion and holds Islam more monotheistic than Christianity why can't you address that issue?
Why is that so hard because I'm right? Would you like proof?
"For Maimonides, Christianity and Islam are related to Judaism. Maimonides's practical view of Christianity was usually assumed to be negative and he regarded Christianity as a form of proscribed polytheism, even for gentiles. In his code of Jewish law,
Mishneh Torah, Maimonides basically restated his judgment about the idolatrous status of Christianity without repeating the reasons he gave in his earlier works. As a theologian, he took regularly strong exemption to Christian Trinitarianism. Maimonides ranked Islam superior than Christianity on theological grounds. For him, Christianity is the prime example of the error of such anthropomorphism in its original doctrine of the Incarnation and in its associated doctrine of the Trinity."
