Reader comment on item: Not Stealing Palestine but Purchasing Israel
in response to reader comment: Arab fantasies
Submitted by Abu Nudnik (Canada), Jul 11, 2011 at 21:36
There is no evidence that Arabs of the Holy Land are not Arabs but descended from Jews.
While there is some truth regarding lying to non-Muslims in matters of war, there have been serious scientists in Islam and great periods in their history devoted to factual truth. There is no excuse for their degradation today.
