Mississippi,
God declared that Israel will make the desert bloom again. The Jews are God's chosen people, and while God does chastise them, he will also never let them down. Islam is a false religion. And the Bible declares that the Ishmael, whose descendents are now known as Arabs, "will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren." (Genesis 16:12) The Arab nations IMO, will always cause and experience turmoil of their own making. This, of course, is quite distinct from the religion of Islam and/or terrorism, because elsewhere in the Bible God says he will bless the descendents of Ishmael (black gold, perhaps?).
I don't know if I'm making sense anymore as I am literally falling asleep at the keyboard. Perhaps we can pick up where we left off tomorrow.
