Of course Jews and Muslims have a lot in common. It is mainly the question of Palestinian lands that divide them, not religion or even culture.
The bearer of the message of Islam, Muhammad(saw), predicted that in the Latter days the Muslims would mirror the Jews like the right to the left foot. This prophecy has come true becuse just as the Jews have rejected their Messiah so have the Muslims made the same mistake and rejected their Messiah. Just as the the Jews have incurred the wrath of Allah and lost his protection the Muslims have done the same. The same violence and persecution the Jews have suffered for over two thousand years has now reached the door of the Muslim nations. The destruction and death brought upon the Jews by the Romans, the Crusades, and the Nazis has now fallen upon the Palestinians, Afghanistan,and the Iraqis. This destruction and loss of life clearly shows the truth of Muhammad(saw) and his humble Messiah. The Muslims have made the same foolish mistake to believe that they are Allah’s “chosen” people just like the Jews have thought. The Muslims have taken this belief and have fooled themselves into thinking that even though they call themselves Muslims that they are free to commit henious acts under the guise of Islam just as the Jews did under the banner of Judaism. Their pride, disobedience, and punishment is the common bond shared by the Muslims and Jews. Their same punishment is recorded in the history books as well as in the news today and will be reflected in the future as they both continue to suffer from the lack of protection of the All Mighty. A wrath they brought upon themselves by choosing to disobey the commandments of the All Mighty
