    That would be terrible for them, and for the USA - this is all Donald Trump's fault......GOD DAMNIT....you don't elect a ****ing MORON into the highest office in the land.

    I hope and pray that no one was actually injured and this is just for show, because Trump will want to respond.......when he should show restraint this is 100% his ****ing fault.

    It’s times like this that you wish you had a president you could believe in and really trust. That’s not Donald Trump. Who knows what to believe. It really feels like Trump has purposely chosen this moment to start a war. But, like I said, who really knows.

    If this starts another war for us in the middle east it's Trump's fault 100%. This is a completely avoidable conflict.

    The land was not Christianity.. it was Jewish and some would like to call pagan...

    Also its stated historians have tried to set a date when the Muslim religion was starte, but its said not to be accurate.....

    Since it is believed that the muslim religion goes all the way back to Abraham..

    Yeah no... it was Christian before Muslim ... and multiple religions before that. Which just proves my point, for either side to point to the other as the at fault party.

    Both religions have a history of being barbaric and violent.

    Yeah, no....sorry......it was started by Mohammed and the Quran is allegedly the angels speaking to him, with the exception of the Satanic versus when the Devil snuck in there....

    No.

    Some Muslims argue that it even pre-dates Christianity but that is false as the overwhelming majority of historians believe it started 600-700 years after Christianity and long after Judaism.

    Also the actual quality of the writing in uniquely Islamic texts is inferior to the New Testament, which is in turn inferior to the early Hebrew texts.

    I am not sure why it is important to you, perhaps for religious reasons but most of these things are widely known.

    If you feel like I am picking only on Islam, there are many Christian beliefs or histories that emerged at a later date and were proven to not be historically correct.

    Regardless I don’t want to derail the thread anymore.

    I am not blaming or claiming anybody was bad or good guys.

    My point is that it was less about religion than anything it was mainly about land acquisition.

    Also the land was Greek originally and then the Ottomans conquered it, they were defeated by the roman empire.

    So that land was always contested and Christians had no real historical claim to the land.

    Anyway a good topic for conversation.
