Talk:Yemenite Jews

This article is hilarious
It doesn't mention anything about how Yemenite Jews discriminated against in Israel, and no the yemeni government didn't go to extreme measure to keep them as a matter of fact they want them leave. This article is heavily biased especially the section "Muslim Jewish relationship". I don't know what History book is he reading but Yemen was not occupied by Arabs. Yemen is occupying the southern half of the Arabian peninsula and converted to Islam from paganism in 7th century without a war. Mohammed sent a message to the Kings of Himyar ( As most Jews were living under their protection) stating that a Jew may stay on his religion as long as he/she pay their "jizya" (and Muslims have to pay Zakat). The himyrate Kings were the ones who sent to Mohammed telling him that they had converted to islam and willing to kill Al-Aswad Al-Ansi (who expelled the Persians and some Jews from yemen and claimed prophecy).

A lot of things mentioned here need to be validated.


 * "a new status of "Dhimmi" (or heretic)"! Are you kidding me? This is just an example of how this article is being used to further agenda with no regard to accuracy. يوسف حسين (talk) 00:49, 26 August 2012‎ (UTC)

Photo caption
The article contains a photo with the following caption:

"Yemenite Jew sounding the Shofar, 1930s Ottoman Palestine (possibly Jerusalem)"

That is not possible; the Ottoman Empire dissolved in 1922 after they'd lost control of Palestine in 1917. If the photo was in fact taken in the 1930s, it would be under the British Mandate of Palestine.
