In studying World War II, we began with World War I, of course, but now we have moved on to Hitler and Mein Kampf. Before teaching about these subjects, however, the teacher found it necessary to give the class a historical background of anti-jewish sentiment in Western Civilization (Europe).

Much to the dismay of the Christians in the room, he explained a few things that I feel I should share with the readers here, not because everything that he says in the truth or the word, but because Farid seems to be the only one that ever says this.

First, the gospels were written at least 50 years after Jesus' death, possibly more. Second, 100 years after Jesus' death, there was still no distinction between Jews and Christians on the part of the Roman Emperors. Third, that until Christianity was made the official religion of the Roman Empire by Constantine in 312AD, it had a very small following and was maintained by a very small group (less than 4% of the population) in the Roman empire. He likened going to one house of worship vs. another like going to a corporate headquarters, where, of course, if you are at GM headquarters, you would bad mouth Ford and Chrysler... so if you are at Christ's headquarters in the Roman empire after 312 AD, would you not badmouth the Jews?

1700 years later, Hitler tapped in to the anti-Jewish sentiment present in European Christendom... and he really struck a nerve.

So Farid isn't crazy....?
