A Few Good Muslims Marked For Death as Collaborators

[ajwps]

The following site posts the e-mails of a few Muslims who actually believe in an Israel for the Jewish people. They are risking their lives by even thinking such thoughts. These are those peaceful Islamics that George W. Bush speaks about.

As a Muslim, when I read Q5:21 and 17:104, I can only say that I support that there must be an israel. The Quran adumbrates the fight against tyranny and oppression, using the Children of Israel as an example, indeed the prime example. While I may therefore disagree with some policies of Israel, as I disagree with the policies of many countries, cannot find any reason why, as a Muslim, I must oppose the existence of such a state. And I will ask fellow Muslims to remember that the classical non-Quranic literature of Islam drew upon importations that were patently judeophobic in nature. And that we should be more careful and not imbibe these traditions. Only when we can come to grips with reality will there be hope for peace.
