A poem written by a Muslim called Abu Ishaq in the 11th century which he describes the major power the Jews held in Spain and the toxic influence they exerted there. Say what you will about Muslims but this poem still rings true today. [717x890 - 107KB] (pic8.co)

This poem is credited with having triggered the 1066 Granada massacre. An angry mob stormed the Royal Palace where the Jewish Vizier (who was also a Rabbi) had hidden, the mob captured the Jewish vizier Joseph ibn Naghrela and then crucified him. They went on to massacre thousands of Jews in Granada.

Omar khayyam is one of my favorite poets. Have an 1899 copy of the rubaiyat. It's not certain if he was a muslim for sure though. Maybe more like a deist
