[quote=Anonymous]I am not Jewish, am a Christian but the topic came up:   I was watching a WWII documentary and my children asked me about Jews, Hitler,  Nazis, communists and all that.

I explained to them that the Nazis hated the Jews because Jews believe in God and obey his commandments:  thou shalt not steal, etc.  I told them Nazis hate Jews because Nazis HATE GOD because Nazis are completely evil. There is no other logical reason to hate Jews who are, from my encounters with them, kind, generous, intelligent, educated, and very committed to improving themselves to be top notch individuals.  Many people hate Jews out of jealousy.  Jews work very hard, are deeply committed to the education of their children, and although not perfect (like everyone) strive to be the best in all that they do. Of course there are "bad eggs" but in general, they are all around good folks. I wish there were more of them and hope they do not all immigrate to Israel.

Next, I explained to my children that people who are not as industrious and diligent as the Jew, rather than work hard themselves, choose to hate instead.  I told my kids, "That is evil and lazy, and you are never to do such a thing. There are few things that make me more angry than to hate somebody because you refuse to make the effort to be successful yourself.  You don't like it that so many Jews are doctors? Then study hard and go to medical school and become a doctor!  Don't sit there and hate them.  There is nothing stopping you from succeeding as they  have, nothing! You do not like it that so many are lawyers?  Then shut up and go to law school."

The Nazis next plan was to kill all the Christians once they won their war but luckily, that did not happen.  Although Hitler wanted to, and he imprisoned many evangelical Christians (as did the communists), there were too  many people who identified as Christian to kill them all because it would severely damage the German  economy, and there would be less soldiers to fight in the war. 
Stalin did not care about this and killed all that he could which nearly caused their defeat when Germany invaded. Stalin actually passed a law making it illegal for parents to teach their religion to their children. Many parents disobeyed, as I would have done, and they lost their lives because of it. God is the final authority, not the communist party, nor any government on earth.

[b][i]Note:  what follows below is what Christians believe about Muslims.  I do not hate Muslims, I just think they are wrong.  I have Muslim friends and coworkers and they are honorable people.  Naturally, we do not discuss religion as there is no point:  the Muslim would be shamed, cut off from the family, or even put to death if they converted away from Islam so very few will do so.  I am posting below my opinion on Muslims.  It is not out of hate but from observation.  This is a TRIGGER WARNING ---do not read if you are Muslim and are likely to be offended by an anti-Muslim opinion.  Go to your safe space. Now.   [/i][/b]

I then explained to my children that Muslims hate Jews just as much or even more than the Nazis because their god, Allah, is not God but an ancient idol of the moon god:

Even today,  Muslims declare, in the name of their god Allah, their intent to "wipe Israel off the face of the Earth".  This is not the God Christians worship, it is none other than Satan who was a murderer from the beginning.

Then I went on and explained that the Crusades was a failed attempt to fight back against the Muslims who were on a murdering rampage throughout the recently fallen Roman empire.

So that was their little history lesson for the day.  Again:  I do not hate Muslims, do not discriminate against them, and treat them all with respect and dignity,  However, I think they are completely wrong and can be called the "Cult of Mohammad".
