Until you are 98%, you are in minority

Dear Dr Pipes,

Our friend Jamal wonders that the western world advocates freedom all over but denies basic human rights to Muslims and Arabs. If you go in any direction from Israel (except west), you will reach countries that are 98% muslims.

And Israel is so tiny that you can carve about 100 Israels from Saudi Arabia alone (readers please check for yourself; I am not imagining this fact). Still Israel's existence denies Muslims and Arabs "their basic human rights". I can only say that if your psychology is such that you feel like a minority until you are 98% by population in a country, it is easy to deny your basic human rights.

Allah is merciful and Allah is generous but none of His mercy and generosity flows toward Israel and Jews.
