"Jews Against Anti-Christian Defamation" ...but For Anti-Muslim Defamation?
FrontPageMag.com notes the formation of a new group called "Jews Against Anti-Christian Defamation by Jews Against Anti-Christian Defamation." Since FrontPageMag.com is promoting this organization, it's a fair bet that the group is conservative.
But this report from the (Jewish) Reform Movement's Religious Action Center finds that the group exhibits an "undercurrent of Islamophobia." A panelist apparently "suggested a parallel between Hitler, Haman and Islam."
No shocker, I suppose, coming from FrontPageMag.com, but at first glance this group looks like a real setback for meaningful Christian-Jewish relations, the authentic kind, that aren't based on a shared fear of Islam....

Jews and Christians agree on most everything, except the Messiah's identity and name...Muslims seem to be unwilling to read Torah, Tenach, the Bible, or anything which promotes Jewish or Christian history.
Throughout history, there have been many Arabs, Edomites, etc. who have acknowledged that the Torah reveals the identity of the one true G-d. And yet, Moslims today seem to think just reading about this is unholy for them.
They are only hurting themselves.
It's clear from your comment that you haven't read the Qur'an and know little of Islam, which acknowledges both the Torah and the New Testament as revelations from God, however incomplete in Muslim terms.
Even if we acknowledge that like many Jews and Christians with respect to Judaism and Christianity, there are many Muslims who are ignorant of Islamic theology -- even then -- your allegations, without any evidence, simply reproduce the unhelpful worldview of the JAACD.
So, assuming that you are Jewish or Christian, let me quote you back to yourself: your comment is only hurting yourself.
