According to
YouTube - the source of all knowledge - Mohammed, not Moses, led Islamists, not Jews, out of Egypt.
David of Israel was not the David of the Koran, nor was Saul. Islam's Saul, not Israel's Saul, slew Goliath.
Since Mohammed had not yet been born - and therefore Islam had not yet come on the scene, I suppose an earlier Islam was Judaism in a parallel universe.
Muhammad (ca. 570–632), received his first revelation in 610, according to a history Web site (http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/isla/hd_isla.htm. That's 610 CE, a/k/a AD - 610 years AFTER Jesus is alleged to have been born.
Rabbinical tradition states that we - Jews - left Egypt in 1313 BCE (a/k/a BC); others date the exodus from 1600 BCE to 1145 BCE. No matter HOW the exodus is dated, there is no way a Moslem could have been in the crowd crossing Yam Suf.
If Islam was indeed in a "parallel universe, when it joined the universe we know today, it failed to make any human rights advances since the Torah was given to Moses - the Jewish Moses - at Har Sinai. Islam still stones women for being raped - for BEING RAPED the victim is murdered! - it still beheads people for blasphemy - insulting Mohammed. Can you imagine anyone losing their head for insulting the memory of a Jewish "hero," - Moses, Abraham, David, Solomon, or even a current leader such as Israel Meir Lau or Ovadia Yosef? I'm sure there are those who might LIKE to impose that punishment, but the death penalty, at least for a violation of religious law, has been mitigated out of existence. Not so Islam.
But then, the Moslems are claiming to have settled Haifa and built Tel Aviv. The DID build a mosque on top of the Temple's ruins, a forerunner of what they do to synagogues today. Even valuable "leave behinds," the hothouses of Aza, were destroyed simply because they were left by Jews. Never mind that the hothouses had proven profitable and that the new owners could also have made a profit from them.
The Arabs DID give us algebra.
The Arabs DID have wonderful navigation skills.
But they did NOT create Tel Aviv not did they build modern Haifa or Yameet or Rehovot. Yavne dates back to the Roman occupation - some 500 years before Mohammed was born. Zefat and Bet Shean date back to at least Roman times; neither was, or is, an Arab town. Will the Moslems claim them, too? (The North Africans who make up the majority of Bet Shean's residents might strongly object to that.)
I wouldn't mind the Muslim delusion so much were it not for the fact that the liberals of the world, including those who by an accident of birth claim to be Jewish, accept the Islamic revisionism as truth.
Judaism is wrong.
Israel is racist and apartheid. Quick question: Then why do so many Arabs - Moslem and non-Moslem alike - insist on living in Israel rather than emigrating to "Palestine" or Jordan or Egypt or Saudia or even once tolerant Lebanon. Iran and Iraq will welcome them; ditto Turkey, the UAE, Algeria, and Libya. They will be welcomed as cheap hired help, not as new, fully endowed citizens, but after all, isn't that better than living in racist Israel? (That's why the UN camps still exist - the residents' "brothers in Islam" don't want them in their countries.)
The Islamists may try to rewrite the Torah, but archeology will continue to prove to anyone who has eyes to see that Jews have been in Israel long before Mohammed was born; that Jews, not Moslems, exited Egypt; that Moses, Saul, David, Solomon are historically Jewish - not Moslem - figures.
When you have so very little to point to with pride, you (try to) steal someone else's achievements.
Which is why some Muslims are disgracing their religion by revising the Koran and claiming impossibilities.
I'd pity them, but it's hard to pity someone sworn to kill me.
חג פסח כשר ושמח
הריני מקבל עלי מצוה עשה של ואהבת לרעך כמוך, והריני אוהב כל אחד מבני ישראל כנפשי ומאודי
