Muslim and Jewish people have long been friends. These religions don’t force people to convert. Unlike Christianity which required conversion and made that a mission. The brunt of which philosophy was born by Muslims, Jews, and natives.
Harissa Black Chickpea is delicious proof of the ancient Muslim-Jewish bond. Death-Free™ as anything in God’s name must be.
Christianity and Judaism started deadly since one blamed the other for killing its God-son. Christianity and Islam soured after European Christian leadership decided to seize Jerusalem (aka the mission of the First Crusade in 1096).
Bucketlist confession: I found it cruel that Germany wasn’t made a Jewish homeland after the Holocaust. Or Europe. European nations dragged Jewish people to gas chambers but weren’t required to make sincere structural shifts to return them home. Instead Jewish people were shipped to a new place, Israel. Bucketlist Souhack™: Never destroy another and call it a solution.
With Israel, Christian leadership solved their “Jewish problem” by turning Jewish and Muslim people against each other and also solved their 1096 “Muslim problem” (control over Jerusalem).
People who’d lived side-by-side, intermarried, shared food and culture, were labelled enemies. Tiffs and skirmishes re-written as evidence of historical animosity.
Bucketlist fact: Like most great crimes against Jewish people, the recent horror, the Holocaust, did not involve Muslims.
Bucketlist Healthhack™: Sprout grains first for longevity, and avoid warmongering.
Muslim and Jewish people shouldered one another, suffering religious close-mindedness and surviving persecution together. Harissa is one of many cultural and food consequences of the Muslim-Jewish bond. Bucketlist refresher: Muslims and Jews were brutally exiled from 15th century Spain for not converting to Christianity. Uthman Dey, an Ottoman ruler of Tunisia, sent ships to Spain to welcome these refugees to Tunisian.
They brought Capsicum annuum along with their knowledge to grow, sun-dry and pound the pepper into a paste that would convert tastebuds globally. Chickpeas are cherished in Jewish and Muslim traditions with many similar recipes and flavors. Harissa Black Chickpea is delicious proof of the ancient Muslim-Jewish bond. Death-Free™ as anything in God’s name must be. As Israel most certainly should be. Bucketlist Healthhack™: Sprout grains first for longevity, and avoid warmongering. Jewish and Muslim people share a lot. Both the good shizzle and some duddy ideas too. Not to mention the music and dancing.
Bon appétit, Friends.
