I find it interesting that the most obviously anti-semitic response assumes that Jerusalem is part of Israel despite the question referring to Arabian men... the curiousities of life. The old testament does not teach that baby girls bring nothing to the world while boys are blessed. While it is true that women are cursed with birth pains, men are similarly cursed with procuring bread "by the sweat of their brow". The old testament is surely much less feministic than modern standards, but it is still a stretch to say it thinks women are a curse upon men.

It’s a good question. I really would like to know. I have been in Israel as a tourist for a week and returned on Friday. I’ve been invited from the ministry of tourism of Israel to get to know the country.
As I woman I have always been told by my catholic father and Jewish mother (strong mixture, yeah) to stay away from the Arabs, as they use to treat their woman like second class persons, but I think it’s ridiculous, as it depends on each person, culture and education and it’s nothing "genetic".
Well, sometimes-strange things happen, and I had some "love affair" with an Arab while staying there. I don’t think that I did some harm to anybody, but some people overreacted and said very stupid things.
(Not everybody of course, some found it amusing, others just asked stupid detalis I didn’t want to answer at all, others didn’t care at all, but...)
I really was very upset about all this.
There was especially one guy in my group who said so many ugly things about the Arabs in general and called me names I don’t want to remember at all... and the funny thing was, that he tried to get me into his bed more than anybody else...
A friend said, that he was extremely angry with me, because he as a Jew couldn´t stand the idea that I did prefer an Arab to him...
So, what did HE think? That I was HIS property, just because I shared some laughts and some glasses of wine with him??
I don’t know, who treats women worse, but this was the most ugly thing I have ever lived in my whole life.
Somebody here could explain this behaviour?
I personally think that there do exist stupid men – more stupid men – extremely stupid men and very few normal guys… no matter what background they have!!
(At least I enjoyed myself, and as this horrible scene took place the day of my departure, well I did what one of these few normal guys said to me: Show your middle finger and wave good bye to all of them who try to turn you down and give a big hug toyou’re your friends… excellent solution!!)

Whenever a man has the Israeli nationality he start to hate anyone he might thinks he is weaker. It doesn't matter that Israeli coming from where. I think it's something taught by Judaism or requested by the authority for getting the Israeli nationality in general.

Mohammed owned and traded slaves. He commanded that women and children be taken as slaves in battle, and allowed them to be raped after capture. His followers continued the practice for centuries until it was forced to an end in most regions by European armies.
Unfortunately, slavery still persists in dark corners of the Muslim world today, such as Niger, the Sudan, and Mauritania. And, most tellingly, none of the articles by contemporary Muslim apologists (giving their religion retroactive credit for abolition) even bother to address the subject of modern slavery, much less condemn it.
Just like their slave-owning predecessors, today's Muslims are too preoccupied with the promotion of their magnificent religion to be concerned about the plight of slaves - or anyone else suffering under Islamic rule.

Women as far as I know from studying Judaism are seen as a curse upon man. The birth of a baby girl brings nothing to the world whereas the birth of boy brings joy and happiness. (This in the Old Testament). Women are seen as being cursed with menstrual periods and pain in childbirth because of their "sin" for getting Adam kicked out of the Garden of Eden.
