India was split into two countries to accomodate two religious groups. The Hindu's stayed in in India, and Pakistan was create to let the Muslims have their own country. So I guess you can tell that if the Palestinians were given their own state, it would solve Isreal's problems and there would be no more Jihad against the USA (/sarcsm)

Do you really think that is going to solve the problem? Look at Pakistan even though India gave away one of it's state to muslims, till today they are still fighting to get more states.

These bunch of pigs are always hungry, the more they gets the more they wants. It's time to throw these mullahs outside Earth.

Not completely true. Here's the story.

By 1929 it was evident that India would gain independence from Britain. One of the Gandhian proclamations was that the feudal landlords could not keep their property that they had acquired by cozying up to the Brits. Well, this really pissed off a lot of Muslims because they controlled the north of India by doing just that. Next think you know, Jinnah is on the scene. He was in England studding to be a lawyer. He was recruited by wealthy Muslim landlords to create a Muslim party to counter Gandhi's Congress party.

And so it started...at the end Jinnah informed Gandhi that since there are so many more Hindus in India, it would be impossible for a Muslim to be Prime Minister. He said that he would call off the creation of a Muslim state if Gandhi appointed Jinnah as India's first PM (he could then make sure that the land distribution did not happen). Gandhi said that only the voters can decide that.

Do the Hindu's distrust Muslims and vise versa, no doubt about it...but that's not why Pakistan was created per say. If that was the case, there would be no Muslims in India. As it stands, there are more Muslims in India than Pakistan.

Even today, about 150-180 feudal families control Pakistan and it's military establishments.
