Against my better judgment, I am making a comment on some of the posters here. it is useless to try convincing the likes of health ,vochindik and others who are trying hard to continue propagate the views R’joilish zz’l. However, it is right to correct facts. One of their arguments is that the jews lived without fear under the arabs (see mw13) and that all those persecutions were done by europeans (as if that matters). Well, some of you have quoted a short passage from igeres teiman as supporting the “sholosh shevuos’ argument.I read the whole igeres (rather lengthy) and what do you think the main subject of the igeres is ? ( 800 years ago…) persecution and forced conversion by moslems!! and this continued for many centuries- the jews (and all minorities) were considered “dhimmi”- foreigners, with all the problems it engendered. and ,right now, today,all minorities are persecuted mercilessly in afgahanistan, egypt, iraq, iran and others. so, please save us the view of benevolent, “nice’ moslems and the delusional idea that life under moslem rule would be idyllic!
