Unfortunately I haven't read much regarding anti-semitism in the early 20th century, but I have heard enough to know it wasn't pretty. Considering that these three religions are worshipping the same god, why are they so hell bent on wiping each other out because of differences in interpretation? It's been going on for thousands of years and at the moment doesn't look to be stopping any time soon.
People here are sheep. They're ok until something happens, then someone with a big mouth will stand up and everyone seems to follow - good ol' pack mentality. Unfortunately the one with the big mouth isn't usually the brightest of crayons.
