Many muslims that I have talked to state that Palestine is the core political, social and sentimental issue that causes the middle east and muslim population in general view West with distrust. Although I sympathise with the Palestinina cause, I think it is quite wrong to agree to such a statement. Most of the Islamic movements want to establish a theocracy based on the early Caliphate where the sharia is implemented and non-muslims have to pay Jeziah. Al Quaida, Taliban, Hamas, Islamic Brotherhood in Egypt and Lashkar -e-Taiba are only a few organiztions that are working towards this goal. If Palestine is resolved there will always be a Kashmir or a Sudan or Nigeria. Who knows, there might be even a claim upon Spain.
Do you think that it is foolish to keep a theocracy as an ultimate goal? Shouldn't such organizations be considered a hinderence in the world's acceptance of Islam?
