Didn't see this coming! Ahmadinejad Jewish? (gallon, Iran, middle east, Seattle)

“When you think about it, we really have a lot in common,” Ahmadinejad explained. “We all hate pork, right? It is time we focus on our shared values instead of being so negative all the time.”

IIRC the prophet Mohammed recognized the Jews as one of the people of the book. The Jews and Iranians have more in common with each other than they have with the Crusaders of the Christian west. This is getting more interesting every day. I can imagine the Middle East as a reinstated Persian empire guaranteeing the freedom of the Jews.

Until the Jews rejected Muhammad and then he became quite nasty towards them...dhimmitude wasn't that nice.

I don't know about that. I'd be willing to forego, say, Delaware for Kuwait.

True Christians should not eat pork, shellfish and such. It's right there in the Bible. That law was NOT done away with.

So true. Iron-age trichinosis and typhus were real drags.

Good riddance to them.

Now, then. I'll start with the clam chowder, and have the grilled pork chops. I'm so hungry I could eat a horse and chase the driver!
