Terry, I do not agree with many agendas of some Jewish groups who settle on various hilltop and are mostly offshoots of the extremist movements.
But to answer your posted assumption regarding Sharon I respectfully disagree. He did not look for trouble and for many years the Temple Mount who is also sacred to the Jews and Christians was open to people of all faiths, including to a "non believer" like me (as I am very far from any religion and see the bible as an assortment of books about human nature and philosophy).
How holly to Islam is this place under the Ottoman Empire?? lib.uchicago.edu why the bad repair of structures ? weeds growing on holly sites ? under muslim rule ?
It is the PLO Iran and the Saudis who used that used Sharon visit as an excuse to start rioting.
To the contrary to the believe, spread by journalists who dislike people speaking out their mind ( including Rumsfeld), Sharon is far from being the extremist as he is portrayed. Sharon courage and military genius put fear in arabs hearts and they started to demonize him with the help of the talking heads as cheer leaders, including the sorry event of Sabra & Shatila were Lebanese Christians killed arab civilians at a time they pretended to help out root out terrorists (Sharon let the Lebanese Christians forces into Beirut suburbs upon same considerations that Kuwait City was "liberated" by arab forces and not our Marines).
and those is arab believes to achieve gains over your foe hraic.org Lying for the sake of Allah - Hadith Sahih Bukhari (5:369)
The issue called palestine has nothing to do with the specific arab Israeli conflict. The popularity of the so called palestinian cause took wings more as a cover up of arab animosity against western civilization and not real and true care of displaced people in the aftermath of W.W.II.
To truly understand the developments in the Balkans and ME and the inherent disdain and arab hatred toward any thing Western or Christian one must go back 2 millenniums to the times of Alexander the Great and also a close look at the Templars, the Crusades and the various Christians Orders originating around those times, many of them still secretive even today.
Unfortunate very few are interested in real history or events to conclude the why's and if's. All are interested for next quarter simplistic solution.
Keep in mind that there were no Settlers, Zionists or Jews in Armenia last century when over 2 million Christian Armenians were slaughtered in the name of Allah and mohammed by arabs.
Neither were any Settlers or Jews between the Assyrian Christians in 1933 when those Christians were almost wiped out as an ethnic group in Northern Iraq & Eastern Turkey and the list goes on.
Hatred of Jews by arabs and believers in Islam is written in the Koran as a result of the refusal of certain Jewish tribes to converts to Islam and their denunciation of muhammed who claimed to be Good's prophet and Messiah.
Keep in mind that Medina was actually a Jewish town (if we can call it a town) and the Jewish tribe living there was slaughtered by muhammed and the woman and children which survived sold into slavery and prostitution. Further arabs invented the concept of an HAREM were women were abducted by force from Europe and forced into prostitution of the Rulers male entourage.
In summary the conflict between arabs and the western world / culture dates back to the inception of the Islamic religion which was designed to take control and submission of other people by force. The wars which started around 650 AD continued until W.W.I and the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire. The Western Civilization with a very short memory just forgot to quickly the atrocities inflicted by Islam onto other civilizations, but in my childhood in Romania we were still teach about those atrocities. That's why the Balkans even to day are such a volatile hot spot.
Unfortunate only when the West will realize that he true enemy are the tyrannical rulers of the ME which use the Islam to keep themselves in power and do not let the culture and religion adjust to modern times only then we have a chance to defeat this menacing and disastrous social phenomena.
Does this article not sound like an ME conflict ?? with claims against the Settlers or Zionist who are " bulldozing of groves and houses, etc, troubles" as your words ? islam.org.au ........ but it is in the Philipines were no Jewish Settlers exist.
After annexing the Bangsamoro homeland, a systematic design to liquidate Islam and to desthe Islamic identity of the Bangsamoro Muslims was launched. The following are some of the methods used in the genocide:
Grabbing Muslim lands
Establishment of Christian settlements
Individual and group migration from Luzon and Visayas to the Bangsamoro homeland
Systematic killing of individual Muslims
Group or mass massacres of Muslims including women, children and the aged
Burning Muslim houses, Mosques, Madrasas (Islamic schools), taking livestock for food or selling, and the destruction of Muslim farms and orchards.
To make such a wanton design more destructive, the government exploited the natural resources of the Bangsamoro homeland to deprive them of such natural and God-given wealth. |
