Who gave the British right to divide Palestine? Here is an answer for the Islamists.

Dear Dr Pipes: "Who gave British right to divide Palestine?", someone called Dawoud asked this question on your forum in 2006. I guess the question is still valid. The Islamic impudence and self-confidence has not reduced during the last 14 centuries and it is unlikely that it has changed in the 16 years since 2006. I can provide a comprehensive answers to Dawoud and to the whole class of the Islamists. Here are my answers:

1. Throughout history many nations and civilizations have been destroyed. Many of these nations were destroyed by Muslims. So there is nothing in the book that says that nations cannot be destroyed. So, it is perfectly fine if the British chose to divide and destroy the then Palestine (if it existed at all). Hard to hear but very true, dear Dawoud.

2. Dawoud must understand symmetry. What applies to the goose also applies to the gander (even if either the goose or gander happens to be a Muslim). If the British can divide India to create a Pakistan for Muslims, they can also divide whatever was there in the holy land around 1948 and (re)create Israel.

3. Muslims' inability to coexist with others should be discouraged and not encouraged. At the very best, if (the so called) Palestine could have existed, it would consist of 98% Muslims. Just like everything else in the Islamic theocracies it would have been fighting with everything else. Israel is the only true oasis in the Middle East, dear Dawoud. Thank God it was created.

These are three tough to hear reasons. But, they are directed toward Muslims, the Islamic apologists, and the likes of ISIS. Please do some deep intro-inspection: no one but Muslims are responsible for the plight of Muslims around the world. When violence is the only method you have to solve all problems, turmoil is the only outcome that you should await.
