I bring this up for I wonder why was the proclaimed King of the Jews killed by people of his religion? Then after this happened why didn't more Jews accept that Jesus was the son of god?

The Jews believed, and still do today, that Jesus was not the son of God, and that he was more or less a prophet.
Read through the New Testament of the King James Bible, and you shall discover why the Jews hated Jesus so much.

There are a lot of reasons that Jesus was killed. As with all new religions, Christianity was considered to be a cult and Jesus a cult leader. Plus, the first Christians were considered to be a pretty dangerous group of people (they were, after all members of a CULT). For one thing, they were socialists and that didn't go over very well with the prevalent political philosophy of the day. Also, they were resistant to the authority of the state which, considering the power that they were gaining made them a threat to the government. As far as the average person on the street was concerned, they were downright WEIRD. We have a much more relaxed attitude toward things like Holy Communion but it is, after all symbolic of cannibalism and that's exactly how the average Jew of the time viewed it.
You also have to remember that Israel at that time was a religious state. Jesus' claim that he was the Son of God was pure blasphemy to them and blasphemy was then a crime punishable by death.

No, Muslim wasn't around. It was made around 850 A.D. and it spread like wildfire till the battle of Lyons in France, which is why all of europe is under the cross instead of the crecent.

Okay, I stand corrected. You're right, Bobo; Muslims didn't come on the scene until several centuries later.
