Who Believes That The Destruction Of Israel Will Yield "Peace in Our Time?"

Heard this today and thought it offered some clarity to the situation. Let's say we sit down at a table with the Taliban, Abu Nidal Organization, al-Qaeda, Hamas, the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, Hezbollah and a few other groups in an effort to end the war, hatred and murder that now burdens civilization. We ask these groups what we can do to end this age-old conflict pitting the Muslim and the Non-Muslim Worlds against one another.

In unison, the groups demand the removal of State of Israel and the Jewish people from the Middle East. We agree and tell the Israelis' that in the interest of a final peace, they must again leave their natural homeland and disburse to the four corners of the earth.

Who believes that this will yield "Peace in Our Time" and that these groups will then disband and settle to the peaceful competition by the World's religions for the souls of all the peoples of the Earth? Who among us believes it?

In Arabic, the word 'Islam' means submission or surrender to God as "articulated by the Qur’an, a text considered by its adherents to be the verbatim word of God." The characteristic which ties all these groups together is an interpretation of Islam as requiring the conversion of infidels and non-believers to Islam, subjugation to Koranic Law or, if God and the word of God is resisted, to be killed. There are many conflicts with this interpretation in the Qur’an but it is the most widely held belief and is basic to being a Muslim. Infidels are an unacceptable affront to God and his word whether a Muslim does ones religious duty or not.

Dhimmitude is an "ideology of jihad formulated by Muslim theologians from the eighth century onward. It separates humanity into two hostile blocks — the community of Muslims, and the infidels. According to this ideology, Allah commands the Muslims to conquer the whole world in order to apply Koranic laws. Hence, Muslims must wage a perpetual war against the infidels who refuse to submit. Its principle is based on the inequality between the community of Allah and the infidels. The first is a superior group, whose mission it is to rule the world. The second must submit."

Israel is not the problem and never has been. Israel is the excuse. My conclusion is that whether one is a radical Christian or a radical Muslim that there is no room for an opposing view of the Word of God. The difference is that Christ, while on earth, was a man of peace, a teacher and that Muhammad, while on earth, was a warrior commanded by his God, through all time, to bring his interpretation of God's word and law to every single human on the Planet. The disadvantage defines our current World and assures generations of bloodshed.
