I hear so many bigots talking about god and jews and their promised land, just thought I would turn it around.

I was writing this as irony, not fact or my belief.
I just thought it would show how silly it is to talk about a promised land.

Well, and this is just IMHO, but I don't think any land is holy, no matter who walked it.
No man can make a land holy, so why does anyone believe that? Muslims don't believe Mohammed was God, and the Jews don't even believe in Jesus, so I don't know why anyone thinks of a land as holy- on either of the sides.

I never knew the Palestinians had a homeland to be taken from them. The last I heard, they had been kicked out of most Islamic countries, like Jordan, where they tried to (unsuccessfully) stage a coup.
And if Allah, or some other God shows up to give land to anyone, alert me. This war will be fought like all others, by men, with sweat, blood, and tears.

This is an interesting conundrum. The Jews, Christians and Muslims all worship the same God, but each believe that they are entitled to the "Holy Land". My belief is that God doesn't care about who has the land, rather God cares about how we treat each other. My belief is that God is more concerned with what we do with our selves and the gifts God has provided us rather than which of us is in possession of a piece of land. Too often as humans, we are concerned with associating human values and emotions to God. We are the imperfect ones, not God...

Allah is not THE GOD.
The land that Palestinians claim is theirs, is not!
REad history, and The Bible.
Palestine got such land some 60yrs ago or so but it does not belong to them, it belong s to Israel by right adn what not.
And nooo Palestinians will not get their land, eventually all will settle as it should be.

There hasn't been a distinct culture that could call itself 'Palestinian' since about 500 BC. The people who call themselves 'Palestinians' today are ethnically Syrian. And they don't have a cultural tradition of a 'promised land' anyway. Certainly their neighbors (Egypt, Jordan, & Syria) don't seem willing to share with their 'brothers' so why should anyone else?

I really do not care. The whole planit is bound for distruction anyway. Then Alla and god will go away and leave nature to straten things out again. Maybe the next race will thrive in peace like all the gods want

My Brotha, it is in the hands of the Most Supreme, His ultimate judgement will prevail. As the Prophet Jesus said, cast not the first stone. I'm surprised at you, why buy into the hatred that is running rampid through the hearts of man! Pray to your ancestors and great ancients that our time has not come and that we may be given mercy. Jah Bless!

God is imaginary. We would all be a lot better off if religious people would just give up the illusion that their imaginary god has promised them land.

Uh?....... No.
FYI ~ There is a Promised Land and Jesus will return to claim it.... and even "allah's" knee will bow at that time and say He is Lord....

No. But his followers probably will. Or they'll die trying. Yeah, I am not a Muslim, but I am really sick and tired of all the Muslim-bashing going on.
"Why can't we all just get along?"
