Lipush---it takes a very devout BELIEVER---
to swallow the version of history presented
to little muslim children. Its nothing new--
if the kid can believe his islamic history
book---he can BELIEVE anything---and
hundreds of millions ----do---with absolute
"faith"

I'm taking a real big risk saying this, but the Israelis were around a long time before Abraham had his little fling with Hagar ... and produced Ishmael. As I remember the story she was more than a little miffed when Sarah had her and her son expelled from the family tent and left to wander in the desert and fend for themselves.

Prominent Islamic Scholar? Now now thats an unbiased document to wrap your arms around.

Only Jordan was ever successful in establishing a lasting peace from the Palestinians. It took around 15,000 to 20,000 dead Palestinians to communicate peace with them. When will Israel ever learn? LET THERE BE PEACE ALREADY!

Lets make peace with these people...o wait...

It has never been exclusively Jewish.

There is no historic precedence for an exclusive Jewish state.

Red the OP again.

Then come back wiser.

That's true----unlike isa-respecters ----jews were never genocidal and
never excluded "others" and never coerced conversion-----is that the
point you are struggling to make? There have been ---historically and
in modern times EXCLUSIVELY --isa respecting lands----at least openly--
in some jews hid or presented themselves as isa-respecters ----until they
could get out

Lipush, et al,

I am becoming more and more convinced that the Arab truly wants to open a religious war.

(COMMENT)

As much as America, and its leaders, are trying to promote the Idea that there is no war on Islam, the Islamic Leaders are sending the exact oppositie message.

Now, they are even promoting an alternative history. How much credibility does this give to them or any position they would support?

Most Respectfully,
R
