Mormon, now that is a “new” religion.
BTW, most so called Christians also shared “similer judicial historical systems: "an eye for an eye".”
I agree with Hoepoe, just because the Jews live surrounded by arabs I would not lump them in the same class as arabs. That’s as bad as calling me a democrat just because I live in a country filled with them.

I think you are missing my point. I am not lumping them together because of where they live. I am grouping them together because they share common cultural roots, linguistic roots and judicial system roots. Most Christians may share similer historic judicial systems, but not the other points. As a matter of fact, "Christian" does not apply to any specific cultural group, or linguistic group (although some of each may have a stronger representation). Nor does Islam (and a religion that is less than 2000 years old is a relatively new religion comparitively).
