Emile, My statement was solely based on your beliefs about the nation of Israel. I did not ask the question of any one of your other beliefs. You said, "Islam's political bitterness towards Israel is mostly justified because of Israel's harsh and murderous colonization practices in Palestine." So, from what I know of the Middle East and Palestinian history, your belief resembles and even self-admittedly, as you stated yourself, "justifies" Islam in regard to Palestine (which Israel is only a small part of Palestine). I would suggest that you get the following video, "Israel, Islam and Armageddon, The Final Battle for Jerusalem" by Dave Hunt. tbcorders.org To have a view, such as yours, on the Palestinian situation, specifically about the nation of Israel, shows some fundamental lack of knowledge, or extreme bias and anti-semitic feelings towards it. Your view is really fundamentally unsound and erroneous, with all due respect. I will reiterate, however, that I agree with you and believe the nation of Israel, and the modern day Jew, does stand against God. And the way they handle themselves is not based on God at all, but on their worldly understanding, and that is NOT good. Their religion and state, for the most part, are not standing for God, but against God! And that is the same for Islam. But here is the BIG difference, that I believe your wrong about. The modern day Jew, although not following God (for the most part, even though they think they are!) is not violent as you seem to think they are. Islam, especially the radical part of it, is! And that is a big difference... Remember Emile, I was once one of those Jews, but I found the truth and came to faith in Christ as my Lord and Savior, thank God! For the part of my life I was not following God and I was not a member of the believing Church, I did not fit your description of a non-believing Jew and if I heard your views then, they would not have been constructive in getting me to come to faith in Christ. I thought you should respectfully know that (as a Messianic Jew) and feel that your views do not shed a biblically based reflection on how a Christian should treat the Jews, for the most part. And even if you don't agree with me, think about what I am saying. God Bless, IGIT
