That was a Jewish prejudice. Christians are Gentiles that is non Jew very few Jews are Christian. The Jews did not like any Gentile. If you were not Hebrew or Jew then you were nothing. I do not know if they still feel that way but according to the bible this is how they felt. Paul even rebuked Peter for not associating with Gentiles and it was Peter that God sent to Gentiles first to prove to the Jews that they were accepted also, but Peter's anti Gentile attitude caused him to rebel. Thus Paul became the apostle to the Gentile. Not because of Peter but because his fellow Jews refused to accept Christ.

The sayings in books to the effect they are evil this might apply to a different Middle Eastern place. Christians and Jews might still not admit in religious writings Sumerians existed. There is no reason to anymore because everyone has animosity towards so called Free Trade this has replaced Sumer. If Greed were to have a place set aside to worship it there would be less animosity among everyone. Since Greed is a belief found among everyone if it can be separated from humanity and placed under the law other places must abide by that it can be worshipped by anyone as long as it does not interfere with the freedom of other religions and the freedom of the nonreligious.

I know what you mean. The epic of Gilgamesh, Enuma Elish, King Hammurabi - all the Sumerian thing
One scholar said we are all the children of Sumerian.
The Sumerians have now become the Saddam Hussein (the modern day Sumerian)
Now the Iraqis got busted by the U.S. because they were jealous of the achievement and inventions by the old Sumerian and try to wipe out the Sumerian/Babylonian history from this world.
Sumerians are just one of the civilizations in the fertile crescent (modern day middle east) that contributes to the writings of the bibles.
That's why we did not find the bibles in the America (North and South) even though the Incas were there long time before.
By the way, Abraham was from Ur (Now Tel Al Muqqayar, near Baghdad)

If not for Sumerians, where would the Christians and Jews get their fairy tales from?
All of Genesis has been found in Sumerian and Akkadian languages a thousand years before they were written in hebrew.

They invented the wheel or initially the potters wheel if I can remember correctly, so why would anyone for that matter bear any animosity towards them? As far as I know they are extinct. Why are you asking such a question anyway?

Why would I have animosity against them, just because they had different views than I do is no reason to hate them. Even Jesus wouldn't have hated them. He would have tried to teach them about His Father, and His Father's love for us and the world.

Not too much. But during the holidays we still have Sumerian piñatas.

Why is there animosity at all? Why can't we all just do our own thing, and leave each other alone? Hatred is stupid under any circumstances!

No, This one doesn't. God showed me the truth in the spirit that is fueling this war. Terrorists are muslim not because there religion supports terrorism but because it is the religion of the middle east and that is what the middle east believes. The terrorists have bought into a charismatic leader who has taken their religion and twisted it for his own gain. Just like what general Tsun Zu did with the Kamakazee pilots through twisting the honorable death of the Samurai.
Bush did the same as Bin Laden is doing and trying to convince that because he is a leader (who is not realy Christian but a satan worshiper) and God told him to fight the Terrorists. There is so much propaganda the enemy who is Shaitan has put in our minds that we are fighting when we should be working together to bring healing to the sick, the hurting and the poor and agree to disagree on Jesus being God. Let the Christians do loving things in the name of Jesus and let the Muslims do great things in the name of Allah. Your Father is our Father the Lord of Moses and we all want to keep his commandents. It is realy too bad that we ignore the Six commandment. Thou shalt not Murder I don't believe God is smiling on this war at all. He wants us to work together to worship him and love him and love his creation and serve them, These implications are in the Qur'an and the Second testement and Torrah!.
Islam : To bow down and surrender in worship, how can someone try to hinder this and say its of God or Allah to hinder it. Muslems please forgive me for what my people have done to you. It isn't what real Christians who fear God or Allah believe in. Isa (Jesus) said to Peter who was a Zealot much like what Taliban are today. " Peter drop the sword, he who lives by the sword dies by the sword." Cant we work together and bring Glory to Allah. Are you not full of faith in Allah? So are we. Its just to many Christians don't know what they are talking about. But I see a muslim as my brother or at least a close cousin! Can't we just love each other as Allah would want it? Its LOVE that conquers all, NOT bombs bullets and swords! I honestly believe we are supposed to be working together to show the compassion and love of Allah to those that don't know him or his existance yet! I saw we should compete in who can be the most loving!
Salaam/Shalom! Praise and glory be to Allah our Father!
Yes I served in the Millitary under Bush, I honestly fell for the lie too!

No, they were unhappy enough.
"Tears, lament, anguish, and depression are within me. Suffering overwhelms me. Evil fate holds me and carries off my life. Malignant sickness bathes me." Another wrote, "Why am I counted among the ignorant? Food is all about, yet my food is hunger. On the day shares were allotted, my allotted share was suffering."
