Profits of Doom you could not be further from base, "praying facing Mecca, from Judaism, to Mecca in an attempt to make Islam appeal". That sentence makes no sense anyway. Muslims don't hate Jews, that's a pretty huge generalization to make, most of the hatred comes from the current Israel-Palestine conflict, not because of some fairy tale in your propaganda book.
There are around 1.5 Billion Muslims in the world, and it is growing fast, it is set to overtake Christianity in the next 5 years, 50,000 people in the USA converting each year, most of them women and not for no reason. I don't care if people diss religion, but at least have your facts right, I hear people everyday talk shit about Muslims and stuff but they have no Idea what they are talking about, I have a few Muslims at my workplace, and guess what surprise surprise they are human beings.

If the sentence doesn't make sense to you it is because of your lack of reading comprehension. I stated that "A little known fact is Islam adopted many of it's customs, like praying facing Mecca, from Judaism in an attempt by Muhammad to make Islam appeal to the Jews in order to convert them." That is 100% fact. Type that sentence into Google and read up a bit there, sparky. From this website,
http://www.mb-soft.com/believe/txo/islam.htm, "After these months, Muhammad's relations with the Jews in Medina had become more strained. At first, he had hoped to be accepted by them as a Prophet, because he had always emphasized that the message that he was preaching was no different from that of Moses. He had even adopted many Jewish practices. When the Jews would not recognize him as a true prophet, the Islamic aspects of the "religion of Abraham" soon developed. Jews were soon either banished from Medina or exterminated." He adopted the Jewish practice of praying while facing Jerusalem (and substituted Mecca) in an attempt to gain recognition from the Jews, which he never received. He then switched from trying to gain their acceptance to attempting to exterminate them.
I don't read propaganda books like the Koran, and couldn't give a shit about religion. The Muslim hatred of Jews was perpetuated by Muhammad, and the Palestinian/Israeli conflict is just a convenient excuse. The Jews lost far more land, money, businesses, etc to the new Arab regimes that took power in the Middle Eastern countries that the Jews inhabited long before the creation of Islam. I also studied all of the major religions in college and everything I stated is historical fact, so if you don't like it put me on ignore and move on with your life...
