I'm currently reading a very revealing book "From Time Immemorial - The Origins of the Arab-Jewish Conflict Over Palestine" by Joan Peters. A quote from the book: "Jericho was home to many Jews - the seventh-century Jewish refugees from Khaebar in Arabia among them. Khaibar had been a thriving Jewish community to the north of Mecca and Medina. After the Jews had "defended their forts and mansions with signal heroism," the Prophet Muhammad had "visited upon his beaten enemy inhuman atrocities," and "by the mass massacre of...men, women and children," the Prophet of Islam esterminated "completely" two Arabian Jewish tribes. This is your great prophet right? This is your peaceful religion right? Jews and Christians have always been persecuted in Arab countries. At the time of the creation of Israel, 850,000 Jews from Arab countries fled to Israel. The Arab countries could have taken in the Arab refugees who left Israel. The fact is that they did not want to take them in. They don't want peace. They want to destroy Israel. Islam is based on the persecution of Jews and Christians and is a pagan cult. It is hardly a "religion". The Koran is filled with words of hate.

Glad to hear you are reading it. I am re-reading it now.

You are correct. In answer to the silly beginning of the article: The One True God does not have an Arabic name, HIS name is YAHWEH! He is the Creator, and not a moon-god.

Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C., two thousand years before the rise of Islam.

Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.

Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C. the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with the continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.

The only Arab dominion lasted no more than 22 years.

For over 3,300 years Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.

Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.

King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.

Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.

Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 10,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own peoples' lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey.

The Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.

Under Jordaninan rule, Jewish holy sites were desacrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.

History proves that the Muslim faith is one of hatred, destruction and deception; presently, there is a group of Muslims in south Mexico trying to indoctrinate children to believe that Allah is the equivalent of Mary of their Catholic faith. No, that name is not the Arab name of God; God's only Name is YAHWEH and His Son is YAHSHUA (Yeshua, Jesus Christ).
