I put some comments inside the quote, in brackets;

At that time, all muslims, Christians and Jews were called Jews. The different sects did not appear until after those things were written. If you
followed Jesus, you were still a Jew.
[ You got part of this pretty messed up....THE PROMISE, was always to the HOUSE OF ISRAEL/ISRAELITES, when the Houses split over taxes about 950 BC,
the House of Judah was now separate from Israel. And those who believed in the Father and followed the LAW, Were ISRAEL, those who did not, were no
longer considered His. The Edomites were the ones who attached themselves to the PROMISE after CAPTIVITY which left an empty land to be filled, but
they weren't Israelites nor Judah for the most part, they were sons of ESAU. It's like trying to figure out who a TEXAN is. Is he a WASP or latino,
or mexican? ] [ do a search for the greatest love story never told, and you'll know more about this than you can possibly imagine ]
As such, Jews doesn't mean Jewish people only. It means all 3. [ I don't think I can go along with this either ]
It is referring to wolves in sheeps clothing, who carry the symbolisms and try to appear to be of that, but in reality they are just using such things
for control. Gotta look beyond labels, and look at the fruits/actions.

FWIW, the OT is NOT a jewish bible, it is a Hebrew Bible and an Israelite Bible, and the promise to Abraham went to his sons who were ISRAELITES, not
jews, there was only one tribe called Judah, it cannot speak for all the other tribes....altho it sure likes to act like it can many times. Not to
mention the people who assume and also just pass on that bad info as if it were gospel, which it is not.
The pharisees and Judah were getting infiltrated with outsiders known as IDUMEANS, look them up.
And to the OP, no islam is not the synagogue of satan. You really need a good teacher to help you out!
