*Muslims have behaved stupidly but I don't think the stupidity is genetic,
I think it's religious. Genetically Jews and Arabs are very similar, the
ancestry of both comes from the ancient populations of the Fertile
Crescent, a civilization even older than that of Egypt. Hebrew and Arabic
are also very similar, unlike all European languages (except for Hungarian,
Finnish and Basque) they are not Indo-European, they both belong to the
Semitic language family. But for some reason about 800 years ago Muslims
got the idea that the only book you need to read is the Quran, Jews like
their holy book too but they thought other books might also have value.*
