Isn't there enough room for the followers of Islam in the Arab countries? Why is the total destruction of Israel necessary when Muslims well out number Christians in the Middle East? Is the destruction of the heart of Christianity in Israel the only way that Muslims can be secure in their religion?

Please stay on topic without anti-semetic/Zionist comments. Let's keep this discussion civil please.

Quran tells Muslims to kill the disbelievers wherever they find them (Q. 2:191), to murder them and treat them harshly (Q. 9:123), slay them (Q. 9:5), fight with them, (Q. 8: 65 ) even if they are Christians and Jews, humiliate them and impose on them a penalty tax (Q. 9: 29). Quran takes away the freedom of belief from all humanity and tell clearly that no other religion except Islam is accepted (Q. 3: 85). It relegates those who disbelieve in Quran to hell (Q. 5:10), calls them najis (filthy, untouchable, impure) (Q. 9: 28). It orders its followers to fight the unbelievers until no other religion except Islam is left (Q. 2: 193). It says that the non-believers will go to hell and will drink boiling water (Q. 14: 17).

While Israel exists
, muslims cannot rule the World, that's why they want it destroyed.

Because there's a political ploy that almost always works:
  1. You are part of a chosen group, it is your destiny to live a charmed life, fate/God/nature has chosen you to lead and your nation to become the envy of the world.
  2. But your life isn't charmed, and it's due to them.
  3. If we just get rid of them, you will be able to enjoy the life you deserve.
  4. Oh, and people who are not with me and my government are secretly working for them.
Jews have been forced into the role of them rather often, but other examples abound. Illegal immigrants, kulaks, nobility, Catholics, Communists, Trotskists, intellectuals, the list goes on.

Probably two main reasons
1. Arabs think that Palestinians were unjustly driven out of their homeland
2. It helps the civilians focused on something besides the low standards of living and lack of democracy at home.

Here is a good story that may point to a change of opinion in the ME.

(http://arabnews.com/opinion/article253715.ece - broken link)An Israeli conspiracy that never existed (http://arabnews.com/opinion/article253715.ece - broken link)


I was quite surprised to read it but somewhat encouraged by it.

Probably--especially number 2. Though now I wonder if the muslim world is beginning to see through the distractions that their dictators caused.

I don't believe that for a second. Maybe some do, but they're a definite minority.
