It all started back long ago around 5000 to 6000 years ago, who built Jerusalem, a lot of different people and tribes. They used the word Muslim, but that word was not used ubtil the 2nd century. People were Tribal.
Jewish people and lets use the word Muslims built Jerusalem.
WW2, Iran and Iraq did not want to get involved in this war. But the British and the Russian attacked their oil fields. Because Germany and them was friends. A lot of muslims joined up with Germany against Russia.
This would make 2 historical notes in history where Jews and Muslims worked together and fought side by side against the Bloody Russians.
PS, fu*k the British also.
