Misconception is deep in the west

I do find that the west have great misconception about Islam. It is not understood at all and that is because of the media and the enemies of Islam.

The west is not related in any way to Israel. Israel as we know in Islam is "Jacob" the son of Isaac. and Isaac is the son of Abraham and the brother of Ishmael. both three never had quarrels and never envied each other. Sarah and Hagar both good wives of Abraham, they worshiped God and they believed in the message of Abraham and were the mothers of great Prophets. Sarah and Hagar were good friends and never quarreled. Abraham took Ishamel and his mother (Hagar) to the mount Marwah near Mecca (written in the bible Moriah) by the order of God when Ishamel was a baby not yet weaned and Isaac was not born yet. This is what we Muslims believe. so we don't believe that there was enmity between the Arabs and the Jews because of what Hagar and her son did mocking Isaac and this made sarah angery and asked Abraham to banish them from the land is NOT founded. The Basic teachings of the Christians based on this is not founded in Islam, because we love Sarah and Hagar and Abraham and Isaac and Ishmael and we condsider them all good people and they will be near to God in the Hereafter.

The descendents of Ishmael and Isaac are related. so the Jews and Arabs are related - but the west is not related to the Jews , they are not of semetic origins.

Most of the Jews (90%) who live in the occupied Palestine are not of semetic origins, they are not related to the Arabs or the Middle Eastern Jews. therefore they don't belong to this area.

That is why you ask yourself who benefit from the division and promoting the racist remarks and discriminate between the people of the world and Jews, who has the benefit of making hateful remarks in the bible between Hagar and Sarah. it does not befit good women who are the wives of good Prophet of God to act in such hateful way, when they both are believers. there are many errors in the bible and hateful remarks that should not be there.

God, his words in the Quran, do contain hateful remaks against the Jews, but since the Quran is the book of God (His Words) we believe in what he says in the Quran that God had His wrath on the Jews for their mischief in the world and for not obeying Him. during all eras, the Europeans had a sting in the middle ages, the Muslims had a sting at the begining of Islam, the babyloneans, the Romans and the Egyptians too.

I do not distant my self from Ishmael (That Great Prophet of God), Whom God promised him through Abraham a Great Nation (That is the nation of Islam). Ishamel and Isaac were never enemies.

so we don't hate Isaac or Abraham or Sarah or Jesus or any of the Good, great Prophets of God.

So I wonder who is promoting HATE???

But as for the home land for the Jews promise. this is bogus, no nation can claim its authority on a land after 2000 years and take control by force and kill 700,000 people and dispose millions. no one has a goo dmind will accept that.

Would you accept that the Red Indians come back and take control and take your homes and through you out????

I don't think that god will accept that.

So, I am trying to open your eyes to the realities of justice and logic, and to show your where are the faults of the bible. and to show you that you are following the wrong book. I only speak and it is up to you to listen or not.

For your information christians lived in the Middle East ever since and before Islam they have roots in their countries. they are considered natives of that country. I for one, my neighbors when I was young were christians and we had good relation with them all. and we consider them to be our fellow country men.
