Your testimony in that post is beautiful and so on point!

And that paragraph on Islamic textual relations with Judaism and the Jewish People was very well articulated. I think it also needs to be pointed out that it was the medieval empire of European Christendom that created “antisemitism”. It is an ideology that did not reach the Arab or even Muslim World until British control of Palestine in the 1920s
