If Islam is so tolerant of other religions why did millions of Christians and Jews self exile? I never really understood that.

Jewish exile from the middle east is a peculiar modern phenomena, directly caused by post WW2 politics and the creation of the state of Israel. Islam existed for 1400 years before the 20th century, where do you think Jews have been living during this time? Read about the history of the Ottoman Empire, Al-Andalus, the Abbasids, Safavids and the various other Turkic/Arab/Persian empires and you'll realise how silly your question is. Often ME was a place where Jews found refuge from prosecution in europe and elsewhere.

Anyway, Israel has this 'law of return' thing that allows Jews anywhere in the world to emigrate to Israel, in some cases literally sending in planes to ship entire communities back to Israel. Unsurprisingly most Jews took the opportunity to go back to their promised land. Look at Israel now and most Arab countries, can't say they've made the wrong choice.

This is not to say Islam is tolerent, obviously not. But it's not THE reason why so many Jews have left the Arab countries.

Can't build a church in most Muslim countries. If they catch you with a Bible in Saudi Arabia good luck.

. Qur'an 9:29 " Fight those people of the Book (Jews and Christians) who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, do not refrain from what has been prohibited by Allah and His Messenger and do not embrace the religion of truth (Al-Islam), until they pay Jizya (protection tax) with their own hands and feel themselves subdued."

See my brother if one does not speak arabic he can not understand the quran, that quote seems wrongly translated, because the people of the book worship the same God as us. Seems like the website you found that is trying to guide you incorrectly.

OP, Muslims who follow Islam are the most tollerant people in the world.

See this type of rhetoric doesn't help the discussion. We can all cherry-pick the bible as well and describe Christians as ridiculous Neanderthals. The other two Muslim posters in this thread don't add anything to the discussion either.

So what's the real translation of this quote @50CentStan ?

That quote is instructions from Allah (swt) to Mohammed (PBUH) about something he should do, which is fight the war. Sometimes the author speaks to Mohammed, sometimes to all of us, sometimes to whoever was being spoken to (I.E. Jesus). That is not a commandment for Muslims to kill Jews/Christians whoever, it's a contextual revelation (all of this of course is according to Muslims, with regards to the speaker being God).

Al-Qur’an 2:190
“Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loves not aggressors.”

Muslims are never allowed to START wars :manny:

This is silly, there's a reason why Sephardic Jews moved to Muslim countries after being expelled by the Spanish Catholics and lived there for 500 years. Then there's also the Mizrahi Jews who lived in the Middle East for centuries.

That's all good. So what's the problem today and not a 1000 years ago?

Jews have what they consider a utopia for them, they chose to move there.

Also please remember, it was the muslims in Paris who saved Jews from Hitler when they hid them in the Mosque and said they were muslims to save them. Islam is perfect, some muslims may not be.

I am glad you acknowledge that I have told you the truth, so on the day of judgement, I will be free of not telling you. About the path to heaven.

Peace be with you.

And also with you. Truth is always up to debate, that will never change. I did get a good laugh though.
