Arab-Islamic Empire
Syrian columnist Khayri Hama:
"... the conflict with the Zionist enemy has never been a border issue, nor an interstate conflict but rather a total confrontation concerning the survival of our [Arab] nationalism . . . against threats posed by the Israeli entity."
From Syrian daily Al-Ba'th, July 26, 1994

Arab Nations frequently present the Arab-Israeli conflict as a religious conflict of the Moslems against the so called "infidel Jews". Thus, the Arab countries at war with Israel use Islamic religion as an ideology to mobilize the Arab as well as non-Arab Moslem nations against Israel.

The Islam religion started with Mohammad in the 7th century, in Saudi Arab

Answer 1

Arabs don't want peace. They want the complete destruction of Isreal. To Bad for them Isreal happens to have a very good military and will continue to kick there asses at every turn.

Answer 2

They feel they were promised the Holy Land by Allah. And Christians and Jews feel that the Jews were promised the Holy Land by God. (back with God's covenant w/ Abraham). Its kinda complicated and this only scratches the huge problems that Muslims have w/ Jews (and vice-versa). I dont think true lasting peace will ever exist because of the differences between the 2 groups. You cant satisfy everyone and no side will be satisfied if they feel they should have the holy land (neither religion is open to "sharing" because they each feel they have the right to be the soleoccupants of the land.) I think the Abraham thing is the first huge difference between Islam and Judaism/Christianity (grouped together b/c of Old Testament agreement-I know they arent the same in the sense of Jesus.....etc) Hopefully you will be able to research this and find out more. Peace out. :)

Answer 3

you've requested the most acceptable question yet. Arabians are diverse from Christians yet not so diverse from the Jews. There are diverse factions in all religions and a number of those factions have in no way needed %. and could in no way attempt to do some thing yet rule the international with the concern that they can inflict. If the Muslim faith is so peace finished and nonviolent then why are they the in common words extremest crew that you listen about. examine the financial disaster of Revelations in the Bible. that's going to answer your question extra valuable than anybody the following can.

Answer 4

The arabs are annoyed because they were promised all that land by England for helping to fight against the turks in WWI. Lord Balfour of England went back on that deal by siding with Zionists in England who convinced him it would be in England's best interests to have a westernized people (Jews) in the region.

Answer 5

Well, when Jews want to say to anyone willing to listen that they and they alone are God's chosen people, some people take hombrage at that. Especially when you believe that your religion is the only way of life. It;s very hard to share a bed with those different contrasting views.

Glad to see that you have a two sided angle on things..???

Answer 6

The Arabs are angry because Westerners decided to take their land, redraw the boundary lines of middle eastern countries, and force the Palestine's off their land to replace them with Jews. You can't expect people not to retaliated.

Answer 7

The problem with Jews and Arabs is between Jews and Arabs we have enough problems in america as it is,and theres nothing we can do about it

Answer 8

well honey how would you feel if someone wanted to kick you out of your home or your country because its too big.would you let them take whats yours and shut up or fight back. america is one of the largest countries in the world and they've always fought for their rights and freedoms, so why cant arabs and muslims do the same??? your question is ridiculous!!

Answer 9

Their pride and religion will not allow them to accept Jews living independently and with dignity.

Answer 10

Arabs don't want peace. but then Israeli's do kick their but... They have a very stratigic method, I take two for every one you kill. So its a no win situation I guess....
