According to the Bible, Jesus was born in Bethlehem, in Palestine, a country full of people called Mohammed, Abdul, Mounir, Aziz, Ashad, Ahmed, Faroukh, Omar, Isha, Musa, Youssouf, Mouloud, etc. And yet he managed to find 12 friends called Matthew, Mark, Peter, John, James, Bartholomew, Phillip, Thomas, Luke, Andrew, Simon and Judas Iscariot - who all drank wine!
Don't you think that's a miracle?

Speaking of Jewish, I heard on an episode of QI last night this quote: A Hungarian Jew is the only person I know who can follow you through a revolving door and come out first.

Big Spin here..
In Roman times this area was at best called Judaea. Nothing about Palestine, just did not exist.
Also the Jews and Arabs/Islamics all lived in a semi happy environment..
