And tell them how, for Arab Muslims, it became a standard practice to destroy Indian, Persian, Zoroastrian, Buddhist, Jewish or Christian temples and build a mosque on the ruins, an act that was always interpreted by historians as a kind of one upmanship, a way to demonstrate the superiority of Islam and humiliate the defeated. And once you do tell these facts to the enemies of the Jews, you will wipe their grins right off their Jew baiting faces.
