RE: The problem with Muslims
※→ irosie91, et al,
This is much too much off the mark. The Jewish people have no more of a contemporary claim on Mecca or Medina; certainly no such reasonable claim can be made by the Jewish community.
I support the return of Medina (aka Yathrib) to jewish possession.
(COMMENT)
From the time of the First Sharif of Mecca, more than a millennia ago, there is no real record of a Jewish self-governing sovereignty
(of substance) anywhere in the Hijaz Region of Arabia.
Medina-(aka Yathrib) was a Jewish city for more than 1000 years before the rapist dog of mecca invaded and pillaged, murdered, and raped it out of existence
(COMMENT)
The conduct of battlefield engagements by Islamic Prophet
known as Muhammad (PBUH) ⇒ were rather barbaric at the time. And the customary rules of Chivalry were primitive at best.
The judgment of moral actions in the War Time of the Last Prophet
(6th and 7th Century), was not so different than the that exercised 10 centuries later. Even in modern time, the Rules of Chivalry towards one opponents, the captures, the contained/imprisoned and the lame/infirm are still argued over in the forms of:
The Arab World --- and many Islamic states --- still do not agree with many of the 21st Century Protocols of Modern Chivalry
(ethically or morally). So, while Israel ranks 19th on the Human Development Index, higher than any Arab League Nation by a significant margin; and higher that several European Nations
(Finland, France Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Italy, Spain and Greece) the notions of what is ethical and moral in such conflicts as Israel is now engaged. The notion that the "rapist dog of mecca"
(a 1000 years ago) were so much different than other nations of the world in not quite right.
Most Respectfully,
