Moslems have no land which they can call theirs.
The first time I have heard this statement. So, I guess "Moslems" came from Mars. Muslims are the inheritors of the lands of their ancestors. For example, Arabs converted to Islam and thus Arabia is Muslim land. Indonesians converted to Islam and thus Indonesia is Muslim land, I'm sure you get the point.
Moslem theft and robbery don't create any rights of property so even more theft and robbery (=jihad) on Moslems' side will not give them any right to whatever.
Theft and Robbery? Surely you couldn't be European making such claims. Without going into the history of theft and robbery, I will ask, what nation on EARTH has not been at one point of time or another colonized and brutalized by Europeans, Christian and "Jew"? Now compare that figure to "Moslems".
But Moslem criminality called 'jihad' can give us a right to treat any Moslem the way he deserves , i.e. as a robber and gangster who is not just after conquering Israel but after subjugating the whole world.
Criminality is in what form? Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Chechnya, Bosnia, Kashmir, Somalia, Nigeria in present times. Or perhaps when the entire Muslim world what being occupied by Spain, France, Britain, Italy, and Zionist during world war 1 and 2. There is a common denominator in all of these situations. INVASION AND OCCUPATION!!!! How outrageous for a people to resist invasion and occupation! If we counted the Muslim casualties in all of these incursions they would be astronomical. Of course your going to have a few family members pissed after watching there wives, sisters, children, mother's and father's get blown up, raped, humiliated, tortured, turned out, over the decades. There are over 5 million orphans in Iraq! Do you expect them to forget?
You , Yusouf, e.g. are not just thinking about jihad against Israel but against the US and Australia where you are living.
This is not an "Islam against the West" ideology, but when you consider that the West is currently involved in the War in Iraq and Afghanistan, and supports the occupation in Palestine, then it becomes a reality. This is a not a hate for the people of Western nations. This is a reality that the armies of Australia, Britain including Nato, which is a compilation of soldiers around the globe, are actively engaged in the crusade on "terror." This in not the perception of an enemy, but a reality. The resistance in Afghanistan is fighting against the world.
Suppose your Moslem dream has at last come true and you Moslems have reconquered Jerusalem, levelled Tell Aviv, Haifa and other Jewish cities, towns and villages to the ground... What will you do with the Jews you capture ? ... "Remove" ? What a fine circumlocution for "exterminate", "murder" , "annahilate", "burn alive"... You'll build gas chambers and crematoria to "remove" the Jews you hate ! ... But no doubt al-Beeb (BBC) and other dhimmi Western media will stage a spirited defense of Islam's virtue denigrated with allegations of genocide! After every act of normal jihad they do.
This would make an interesting book of fiction because that is exactly what it is. Let me ask, where in the history of the Islamic control of Jerusalem when this annihilation of the Jews took place? Let's first acknowledge that the land was taken from Muslims once before during the Crusades, when ironically, Christian crusaders where murders and pillagers of Muslims, Eastern Christians and Jews. Jews ran to Muslim lands like so many other times in history for safety, how quick they have forgotten. When Muslims retook Jerusalem after 100 years of European rule, what did they do? The West should have taken lessons. There was actually peace in the land, until of course, the crusaders tried again and again to take it back unsuccessfully until the 1900s. Every since then it has only been Hell in the land. History as well as the present proves that there is only peace in the land when Muslims have it and it is the only way peace will return.
I am sure that most -if not all- Moslems whom some scholars identify as "moderate Moslems" will gladly shout -when no scholars are interviewing them any longer - "We are all Bin Ladens!" They simply lack your openness!
Spoken like a true bigot. If only it were that simple.
