The Koran is more hostile to Jews than to any other group. One third of this book is devoted to a skewing of the Torah by claiming that the Jews have deliberately and perversly changed the word of God. The Koran calls the Jews apes, \"pigs,\" and \"donkeys laden with books.\" It curses them and dooms them to burn in Hell forever. Mohammad\'s first massacre was of the Jewish tribe, banu Qurayzah.

Second, what is the purpose of Ha\'ivri\'s rambling essay?  I find it incoherent, with one exception:  Ha\'ivri consistently ridicules and shows contempt for Prager\'s level of Jewishness.
