When Jesus was witnessing and healing people at the temple shortly before his death , some boys cried out : “ Save , we pray , the Son of David ! ” Muslims who are luke-warm towards Christian matters, or feel aversion to them or ridicule them, may argue that the wars known as “the Crusades” sowed the seeds of ill-will and rejection. The Christian would readily admit the wrong done by his people in those wars, knowing that these were contrary to Christian teaching and the Spirit of Christ. Those Christians who make the excuse that these were not due to religious hatred toward Muslims but the result of Christian zeal to repossess the holy places are not thereby absolved from the judgement passed by the apostle Paul on some of his own Jewish people. He said, For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they do not know the righteousness that comes from God... they did not submit to God's righteousness. (Romans 10:2-3)
