I am not Muslim, Jewish or Christian ... but I have studied Semitic languages ... including Levantine Arabic and Hebrew for over twenty years ... and including also the Quran and Torah ...
My question to all Muslims is this ... How or why do the Sunis and Shiites not believe that Israel should have the right to "exist" that was granted to them by the UN and world community in 1948?
It is not an oil rich, or even resource rich land ... And Arabic peoples possess a wide continent around it that is both oil and resource rich ... I understand well the historic claims put forth on both sides of this issue ...and should add that historically Palestinian peoples were also displaced in Jordan- and were never given a right to found an autonomous nation in it's midst...
I should add that I am a huge admirer of Arabic culture- especially sufism ... I love Jalaluddin Rhumi, Kahlil Gibran etc ... historically there was a time that Arabic culture was the "flower" of this world...
