This article was posted on September 5th, 2008, by "IsraelNN.com". Dr. Andrew G. Bostom wrote a book called "The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism: From Sacred Texts to Solemn History", which contains accurate descriptions about the lives of Jews, living under the Islamic rule. From his 700 page book, he shares a dramatic story of a young Moroccan Jewish girl, named Sol Hachuel. She was offered riches and special privileges, if she agreed to embrace Islam; however, she denied the offer and was imprisoned, tortured and eventually decapitated by the Islamic authorities. Although this happened back in the 1800's, we can see how far the Jews went, in order not to abandon their religion. What Sol did shows how much the Hebrews prioritized their religion, even when they were ruled by the foreigners. It is no wonder why the Jews today absolutely despise other religions, especially Islam. The Hebrews had no choice, but to hide themselves from other communities and religious groups, in order to be protected from possible conflicts. People shouldn't just dislike the Jews for being too prideful or full of themselves. Those are the people who truly don't understand what the people of Israel had to go through, until today. I'm not saying that the Hebrews have the right to be arrogant and cocky in front of other ethnic or religious groups. We have to understand the horrible things that the Hebrews suffered through, in order to truly understand their cultures and people. When we understand their history, racism and discrimination around the world will disappear soon.
