Religion of Arabs in Israel
Reader comment on item: Palestinians Who Prefer Israel
in response to reader comment: What religion?
Submitted by Donald W. Bales (United States), Jan 2, 2008 at 17:12
I tried to look that up. it is my impression that the vast majority of Arabs in Israel are Muslim, but I would be glad to be corrected about this if it is not so. I fear that the Arabs there may not be loyal to Israel and may ally themselves to the radicals in Gaza or West Bank, but I hope that I am wrong. But many people on the planet act against their own interests.
