Rather than become Muslims, and alienate the Byzantines, or become Christians and alienate the Muslims, they chose to convert to Judaism. However, some might think this is not a fulfillment of Zechariah 6:8, as some Christians believe that since the crucifixion Jews are no more God's chosen people.
Hata hivyo, kuna watu wanaoweza kufikiri kuwa jambo hili haliwakilishi utimilifu wa Zek 6:8, kama ambavyo baadhi ya Wakristo wanavyoamini kuwa kuanzia wakati wa kusulubiwa kwa Yesu Wayahudi si wateule wa Mungu tena.
