Do you intend on following up this question with comments as to why you would want them to read this? Ezekiel sometimes is misunderstood. Revelation refers to this chapter alot. However, back in the day when this was being written you need to remember what was going on. There were wars. And since, there were wars. Many prophecies were written accordingly based on the understanding of the time and history prior to that. Please be very careful what it is you would want another culture to understand about this. May I suggest that you first get an understanding of the chapter itself, by taking it back to the original language - Hebrew then understand the roots of the words. Find out what the history of the countries were at the time to identify the lands. Some are easy. Then determine whether or not the actual surface meaning is important, but what is underneath.. the mystery. Is God really the god of War and suffering? Or is this a warning to self as to .. this is what will happen if you don't turn around and do what is good under the covenant (again another mystery if you do not understand). Remember, God is about Life in Love - reference to the Tree of Life in the Garden, the king priest Melchisedec, and the words of Christ when speaking the pharisees and saducees. Also, please start from the beginning of the book, so that there is understanding from the beginning to end of what Ezekiel was putting down in script. May I also suggest a study of Hebrews in the New Testament. Please.. be careful.

OK Read it So what ?
The question here is if the quran is correct or the bible ? "As a WHOLE" not parts of it OR Chapters of it I think like all Christians you are also lacking the fundamental principal of Argument.
If you are trying to prove a point by pointing to one chapter in the bible to claim divinity I would like you to read some of the oldest Hindu or Buddhist scripts which also talks of Devinne things and advice us to do good so because of 1 or 2 chapters will the whole religion or the book become true and gods word ?
If someone claims to be god Muslims have a test for that person that is a chapter in the quran which tells about god one of the rules to be god is that ( THERE IS NON LIKE HIM ) so Jesus is a man men are comparable so he fails the test.
I invite you to read and understand the quran then measure for yourself which one is the truth in the Full Book bible or quran
Good Luck !

Surely you realize that Muslims consider the Old Testament and New Testament to be corrupted by the Jews. Ezekiel 38 will not influence them in any way.

Muslims believe in the earlier books revealed to the Christians and Jews. The Qur'an says that God sent His message to those that came before the time of Muhammad. But, He says the Qur'an is the final seal and will remain untouched and unedited for the rest of humanity. After 1,400+ years, so far so good.
Therefore, what's your point? The Qur'an is the only pure book of God on Earth. No other book can claim to be untouched.

Is this another 'see how prophecy is coming true today?' thing? It's a safe bet that when you take someones land, whether it be in Biblical times or modern times, people will get pissed off at you and raise their 'sword' against you.
