I think it would be interesting to watch a documentary of a muslim woman who helped the jews from the Nazi's in WWII

A friend of mine sent these to me. You will find them interesting. I need to go to the library and do my own investigation.

Had this program set to record, now canceled it. Your second post made clear your agenda.

Why? Her screen name didn't tip you off that she's Muslim?

Why would you slam your mind shut like that and not get some history that isn't politically biased? <--- That's a real question.

Care to explain?
I think this is interesting. Born in a family where we have 5 different faiths(hindu/Christian/ Buddhist, zorastrian and jewish) and having friends of other faiths I find religion fascinating and how different religions have contributed to a nation/nations.

My second post simply was to show how muslims are interegrated in this nation before 9/11/2001. Whether some of want to see that or not. This is fascinating stuff. I hear and have read how the Chinese, the Italians, the greeks, the jews, the russians, the irish etc came and help build this country and other countries and NEVER hear about how the muslims came here and contributed.
