I was talking to one of my customers today who is Jewish from Israel. I was talking about how he really felt about Arabs and Muslims in general and he said “there are many Muslims that beleive Israel belongs to Jews”. So I thought perhaps he was talking abotu seculare Muslims who are really tired of Palestinians Israeli issues and agreed with him. Later I wanted to investigate this on my own so I googled “Muslim Zionism” and here there was many articles including a Wikipedia entry:

So here is some facts, it is not only the secular Muslims who believe that Israel is land of Jews but also many religious Muslims who don’t follow the modern Muslim preachers (the Mullas) and read the Quran literally by themselves. If you have read the Quran, you know it refers to Jews as Children of Israel many times and even in Quran it says in chapter 17 verse 104:
“And thereafter God said to the Children of Israel: ‘Dwell securely in the Promised Land. And when the last warning will come to pass, we will gather you together in a mingled crowd.”
So Jews living in Israel is not so against Islam however it seems it maybe against the Islamic radical movement that has been going on since the 70s. However you don’t seem many Muslims scholars speaking that out because most of the true scholars aren’t the ones we see on tv. And you don’t see an average practicing Muslim being pro Zionist because chances are he or she has never read or understood the Quran and he or she is only following what hehis leaders say or what the hadith says.
Of course I believe one needs no Quran or Bible to speak the truth or believe what is true. SoI have always believed that Jews should live wherever they wish, just like other people, if they choose to live in Israel let them, as long as they are respect the rights of their neighbors and they are fair to them, and in case of Israel, there are many evidence and facts that they have not been so fair to the Palestinians or their neighboring countries.
So lets hope both sides come to their senses, follow their hearts and come to a peace soon.
