And this is the list of wars from the same source on your country, committed in the last 250 years.

So their deaths are justified due to their religion?


Yes. It is ok to kill those POWs who backstabbed you during a battle, if they were pagans. Restraint is to be exercised in the case of Christians and Jews.


Civilised treatment of POWs is rather different. Even Guantanamo does not reach the levels of summary execution based on religion.

Suit yourself, we all have different views. I live in a pagan society, and for many reasons, support this doctrine. I live in a "secular" nation, but under the previous government, which was a hindutva right wing party, we suffered from a lot of discrimination.


I oppose religious discrimination and fundamentalism, not just Muslim ones.

This applies to all non-Muslims, but Christians and Jews have a few benefits compared to pagans, such as their women being allowed to marry Muslim men.


translation: the 'benefit' is that if Muslims lust after Christian women, they can have them, but the pagans are off-limits.


It's discouraged to marry Christian and Jewish women, but permitted, as they are also fellow monotheists.


The Jewish and Christian men are not allowed to marry Muslims, so it follows that the purpose of such a law is that Muslim men can help themselves to any monotheist women they fancy, while keeping non-Muslim men and Muslim women off-limits to each other.

The only compromise that Muslims will accept is this: That Palestine be returned to us,


which the Jews would say was taken from them in the first place, and which they probably took from an older tribe, which surely took it from an older one....


Yes, divine revelation decreed that the Jews were to have Palestine at first, it later decreed that it was to pass to the Muslims when the Quran was revealed to Muhammed (SAW)


No more acceptable as a justification than Jewish claims its their Promised Land and hence they can kick anyone else out if they so please.

This is the best compromise, considering we sheltered them for 13 centuries while Christians slaughtered them in masses


No, you didn't shelter them, your ancestors sheltered theirs. The present generations of Jews and Muslims (and Christians for that matter) have nothing to do with it, had no say in it, weren't even born yet and thus have no merit or responsibility for it.


If you have to put it that way, many Palestinians whose fathers sold land to the Jews are still alive to this day.


Land that was sold to the Zionists legitimately belongs to Israel. If you sell your land, you have no further claims.

No, what I meant to say is that the Jews and Arabs wil exterminate each other unless a compromise is reached. Once all the Jews and Arabs are dead from fighting eachother, the disputed lands will be occupied only by ruins and dead bodies. After that, other powers will swoop in and fight over what's left of the oil if they're no one left to guard it. Sadly, the death of us all could be that damned oil.


Alternatively, the region will run out of oil first, leading to ruin, famine and collapse - Saudi Arabia for example produces nothing other than oil and terrorists. And if there were no oil in the region, the West wouldn't need Israel and Egypt anymore, so no reason to subsidise them.
Perhaps Gaza should be handed over to Egypt and the West Bank to Jordan (both of which are at least functioning states) as the Palestinians have shown themselves unable to govern themselves and, ironically enough, would be far better off today under any of the peace accords they have been offered than they are now.


Wow, you really are ignorant. Ever bothered to check up on the economic policies of the oil-rich Arab nations? Ever wondered what's the biggest source of income for Saudi Arabia, excluding the oil?


The only major source of wealth in Saudi Arabia is oil and returns of investments funded by oil. They happened to be born on top of the world's largest oil reserves, the oil wealth is no merit of theirs whatsoever. The country is unable to produce even its own oil engineers (unlike plenty of Third World countries), and has some of the worst universities in the world. Dubai may be much more viable, but Saudi Arabia, Iraq an Iran are failures with oil and gas. These countries may get some money from pilgrims, pearls, dates, pistachios, etc, but it's all pocket change compared to oil.

Quote:
Btw, only 12% of Saudi's population supports Osama Bin Laden, compared to over 20% in Pakistan.


Not surprised, given that the Taliban already rules part of Pakistan. I really wish India all the best.

Quote:
Returning Gaza and the West bank will not change a single thing.


Putting them under the control of governments with effective security services would bring stability. In the West, the children and grandchildren of refugees are citizens - would the 'Palestinians' born in Lebanon and elsewhere be so keen on 'returning' to Palestine if they were citizens, allowed to own property, take any jobs, etc in their countries of birth? of course, if they became integrated they would not be as useful as pawns against Israel (because they would have less reason to 'return' to Palestine), and it would make it harder to talk about 'Palestinian refugee camps' that are towns not camps, whose inhabitants are not Palestinians and are not refugees (they were born there).

Quote:
Although both countries, Jordan & Egypt are pro-Israel now, Hezbollah will not stop until Israel ceases to exist.


If so, Israel is justified in seeking the destruction of Hezbollah by any means necessary. If an enemy that seeks your destruction cannot be negotiated with and cannot be deterred, the only thing left is its destruction.

I think the Jews are done relying on others to shelter them, that hasn't worked out well for them in the past. Also, they've managed to do more with their arid little scrap of land than anyone else has, and I can't see them giving that up anytime soon. Fortunately, they've proven themselves more than adapt at fighting off whatever hordes the other countries in the region have thrown at them, despite being massively outnumbered. Of course, if all else fails they've got nukes and one hell of a big brother watching their back, so I don't see Israel falling anytime in the foreseeable future.


That's because they have the financial and military support of the world's largest terrorist state, as you yourself just said.


The Arab states had the support of a superpower, the USSR, and their armies were still pathetic. I suspect that Arab armies, like Latin American ones, are trained to repress their own people rather than fight actual wars (as amply demonstrated in the Falklands War).

I'm not going to throw around loaded words like "terrorist", since their definition is so often is dispute. Israel does have the support of the US, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. We may sell them weapons and share intelligence with them, but we don't fight their wars for them, they do that themselves. The Arab nations that repeatedly attacked Israel were Soviet client states who had been supplied with Russian weapons, training and intelligence, so it's not exactly like they weren't fighting fair, the people attacking them just chose the wrong backers. No one cares what some religious text says, this is a modern geopolitical issue, and if you want to be taken seriously you need to approach it as such. Since it's been shown on a number of occasions that the Arabs can't beat Israel militarily, and in fact lose territory every time they've tried, they're the ones who are going to have to compromise. The first thing that's going to have to go is this "Israel has no right to exist" garbage, it's simply not going to fly. It's not something the Israelis can negotiate on, so it needs to be dropped before any diplomatic progress can be made. Otherwise, I've got no problem with standing back and letting the Israelis take a free hand to ensure their security, whatever that might entail. I'm kind of surprised they've been as restrained as they have been about the Iranian nuke project, when Saddam tried that they blew the snot out of it. Point is, Israel will be there, the Muslims can learn to live with that, or not.


Dox47, you are a highly intellectual person, and I respect your view, although I can't agree with a few things. Yes, Israel does exist, and we want it out. It does not mean we dispute the Jewish right to settle in Palestine...even a secular compromise between the Jews and Arabs (return of Palestinians refugees, abolition of the "right of return" law, abolishment of all Jewish references to the state, ie, renaming the nation to a secular name such as "Republic of Jerusalem) would be accepted. Ie, we are sick of being discriminated. The main reasons Muslims are fighting is due to discrimination.

Yes, there's a saying in Spanish, 'Cría cuervos y te sacarán los ojos' - 'Raise crows and they will gouge your eyes out.' The Pakistani military seems to have learned nothing from this...

The only discrimination is Israel not being a muslim state, and the Jewish people not being submissive to muslims, and not paying tribute to the muslims.
The lands were given to the Jewish people as part of the surrender of what was the ottoman empire prior to WWII. Those terms of surrender are unacceptable according to the muslim instruction manual.

I don't think you're being entirely honest here, since a few posts back you said that you wanted Palestine returned and that the Jews should have to pay a tax. Why do the Jews not have a right to have their own state? There are many Islamic states in the region with various degrees of Koranic law, so why are the Jews not allowed their homeland? If discrimination is your problem, you should be in favor of secular law everywhere, as that would be the most fair, as opposed to your postings in favor of Sharia law. As has been pointed out, it's not as if the land in Israel itself is anything special, it's the same desert that can be found throughout the middle east. If the other Arab nations really cared about the Palestinians they could have easily given them a new homeland, it's not as if they don't have the space, but they are more politically useful as wretched refugees in camps. This is exactly like Saddam deliberately starving his own people for political reasons while living the good life on his illicit oil revenues, it's all an ugly political game, and in this case the poker chips are the Palestinians. It's been over fifty years, what exactly would they be returning to? Give them a new home, and let them get on with their lives.

I said that's what Muslims want. That's what the Quran prescribes. A compromise will also be accepted, in the secular sense, similar to the compromise the Maronites, Sunnis, and Shi'as have in Lebanon.

Jerusalem is the third holiest city in Islam. That's why Muslims want to be in control of Jerusalem.

Yes, I do believe the Jews have every right to settle in Jerusalem. However, they had no right to steal homes from the Palestinians. Yes, true, a lot of land was sold to them, but many homes were also forcibly taken. The Palestinians are currently the world's largest refugee group. Do they also not have a right to return to their homes?

Yes, but who cares? Jerusalem is the holy land of many other religious groups. Should Muslims alone be in control of these territories? Keep it autonomous. There's no khilafa. Muslims should move on.

The main point of this whould not be missed. The same group of people profit from all this s**t. The same group who made profits from the American Civil War, the Cold war, the world wars, the wars and poverty in Africa and who profit from driving most of the world governments into a state of never ending debt, the same group of people who had a hand in creating Israel. THE GLOBAL B(/W)ANKERS! They fund ALL sides, that's what is so great (in an evil way) about their plan. They lend money to all sides to make their weapons, to fund their space/arms/science races and all the other worthless s**t, knowing they will make it all back (and more) in interest. The also fund 'terror groups', such as the Nazis and Bolsheviks for example, to make sure the world is in a constant state of conflict, so more weapons have to be made and wars have to be fought - and more debts (in other words, profits) can be made. They are the real terrorists!

Jerusalem is as holy to the Shi'a as it is to the Sunnis and Ibadis.

True, and those that lost property to Israel deserve compensation.

To call those that were born in Lebanon, etc, often of parents that were themselves born outside Palestine, 'refugees' is objectively a lie, and most of the inhabitants of the 'Palestinian refugee camps' (which are really towns, not camps) in the region fit into this category. That Arab states maintain this hereditary 'refugee' status is a blatant form of apartheid - in the West, those born of legally recognised refugees are citizens, period, regardless of their ethnicity or religion. The 'refugee camps' are not refugee camps at all, they are ghettoes where the Arab states dump their minorities of Palestinian descent, to be used as pawns in their own geopolitical games against Israel.
