Fatwa to follow, no doubt.
His first “error” is in acknowleging that Jews even have a right to exist.
And yes, it is long overlooked that Islamic imperialism “designates” muslim authority over a number of lands. There are still claims for Spain now and then.
What is the Islamic “history” for Indonesia? Did Mohammed fly on his horse over there?
Save for later
Didn’t Native Americans say their God had given them the continent to live in? They also had a historical record of residency.
So, going by this author’s logic, then Native Americans “must have a historical right to own North America”. Right?
Hey, here’s an idea - instead of trying to remake the world as it was thousands of years ago, let’s leave the past in the past and deal with just the modern world, ‘kay?
I don’t whether or not the Jews have a historic right to Jerusalem but I do know that Jews have been fighting Arabs have been fighting Jews for 3,000 years. Who on this planet thinks that they are so omnipotent that they can “solve” the problems between Jews and Arabs?
I also know that Jews started a war to simply take land from Palestinians then declare themselves a “country”.
It never has made much sense to me about why people of the world and particularly in this country, would automatically support Israel or for that matter, support the Arab world on a political level.
It seems to me that the best option would be to be neutral other than the fact that Israel is supposedly the only “democracy” in the Middle East.
“...constructed on the site of an ancient Byzantine church, adjoining Solomon’s Temple, destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD.”
I’m nitpicking, but it was the Second Temple that was destroyed by the Romans at that date. The Temple of Solomon was destroyed several centuries earlier; The Byzantine Empire didn’t arise until several centuries later.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
