Jeremy Gimpel and Ari Abramowitz at The Land of Israel (thanks to DFS) expound on the urgent necessity for and possibility of an anti-dhimmi alliance of Jews and Christians -- an alliance essential to the anti-jihad effort in general:
Q: Is the relationship between the Jewish and Christian worlds a practical alliance or a spiritual connection?Charlie Nauman, Willow Street PA
There is no question that Jews and Christians of the world face a formidable adversary bent on their destruction. “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people” echoes throughout the Muslim world and Christians who have been so unfortunate to live under their auspices, if brave enough, will attest to their malicious intent.
Before the infamous Oslo Accords, under Israeli control, Bethlehem was a predominantly Christian city with only a fifth of the population of the Muslim faith. After the transfer of control to Arafat, what was one day a tranquil spiritual holy site for Christians around the world became a terrorist breeding ground hostile to all non-Muslims. Christians fled in fear leaving an 80% Muslim Bethlehem behind. Having endured religious persecution so consistently throughout our long history, the Israeli government has always vigilantly protected the religious rights and houses of worship of all religions, yet no Christian can forget the desecration and murder perpetrated by the Muslims of Bethlehem in the Church of the Nativity in 2002. Over forty Christian clergy and nuns were taken hostage while the Church was being used as a firing position by terrorists who knew full well that the IDF would not return fire due to their “weakness” and tolerance. Catholic priests described the take-over as a “regime of fear” explaining that as they were starved and beaten, the terrorists even used their Bibles as toilet paper.
Islam means “submission”. “Allahu Akbar” is often mistakenly translated as “God is great”, while in reality meaning “God is greater”. A fundamental tenet of Islam is that it is the greatest religion in the world with a god that is definitionally greater than all others. According to Muslim law, every other faith must live subjugated as “dhimmi”, paying tribute to Muslims and acknowledging their supremacy. Nearly every conflict in the world, while routinely adopting a political mask, is initiated by the Muslims in order to liberate land from infidel “occupation”. Was the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) founded in 1964 in order to liberate the “occupied territories” of 1967? Were the massacres of Jews in Hebron in 1929 incited by the Jewish State of 1948? From the Abu Sayaf in the Philippines to the Sipah-e-Sahaba in Pakistan to the Hamas in Gaza, the purpose is the same. While it may seem to the untrained eye that the wrath of the Muslim world has been kindled by Israel, it is clear that once the thorn of the “Zionist entity” is pulled from their side, the rest of the non-Muslim world is next on the to-do list.
Read it all.

Some will say there are differences between Christians and Jews. However, the differences are relatively minor and neither side advocates exterminating the other. Islam, however, advocates eliminating both and therefore it makes perfect sense for Christians and Jews to fight together against the cult of death. Christians and Jews can live peacefull with each other in the world-neither can live peacefully with Muslims since they themselves say so and show so on a daily basis.

As a Christian I stronglly believe that Christians and Jews should look to each other for support and cooperation in this fight.
It makes no sense whatsoever that we should eye each other with suspicion or disdain in any way, as our fight is the same, and our enemy is the same.
I'll never forget the reports of the Muslims wiping their butts with pages of our Holy Bible, and nothing is even mentioned in the western media. Yet a bogus report about a Quran being flushed down the toilet at Guantanamo sparks violence and death world wide.
It's time to look at each other and support each other, the first places we should put pressure on our governments is in Kosovo, and Ethiopia who are dealing with this mess as we sit here. Then pressure our governments to stop all aid to the mid-east, especially military aid. Turkey needs to be punted from the UN and NATO and all support for her dropped along with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Only then can we make progress, but unfortunately we feel we need them more than they need us, what else could cause these ridiculous foreign policies?

Jews and Christians must be allies. For too long the acrimony and misunderstandings between us have been shameful. We share a common heritage of faith and a common foundation of morals and ethics.
On a practical level, Jews and Christians in the Holy Land and throughout the Middle East face the same threat of extermination. It truly is unity or death.

All non-muslims must join together.

carolyn2 is right. Jews and Christians can, and should, find allies among other non-Moslem people.
I know that there a sticking points, between all non-Moslem groups--Jews' memories, Christians blaming Jews for not saving their--the Christian's--Savior.
Indian Hindus have resentments.
Bhuddists are pacifists.
In unity there is strength.
Respecting each other, not letting old wounds reopen and fester, can achieve this.
It's not easy--for some, maybe for many--but it is preferable to all of us being swallowed up and dominated by or killed by Islam.
