Since Jews, Christians, and Islam all have there beginnings in the Old Testament and God gave the Promised Land (which is essentially Israel today) to the Jews isn’t calling for the destruction of Israel going against God. I would really like to know how this is reconciled in the teachings of Islam. I don’t hate Muslims and I know that all Moslems don’t follow this but I would like to know how nations like Iran and Syria (which are Muslim) can preach the destruction of Israel and how they reconcile this with the Old Testament. I’m not saying this out of hate I’m just curious.

[7.159] And of Musa's people was a party who guided (people) with the truth, and thereby did they do justice.
[7.160] And We divided them into twelve tribes, as nations; and We revealed to Musa when his people asked him for water: Strike the rock with your staff, so outnowed from it twelve springs; each tribe knew its drinking place; and We made the clouds to give shade over them and We sent to them manna and quails: Eat of the good things We have given you. And they did not do Us any harm, but they did injustice to their own souls.
[7.161] And when it was said to them: Reside in this town and eat from it wherever you wish, and say, Put down from us our heavy burdens: and enter the gate making obeisance, We will forgive you your wrongs: We will give more to those who do good (to others).
[7.162] But those who were unjust among them changed it for a saying other than that which had been spoken to them; so We sent upon them a pestilence from heaven because they were unjust.
[7.163] And ask them about the town which stood by the sea; when they exceeded the limits of the Sabbath, when their fish came to them on the day of their Sabbath, appearing on the surface of the water, and on the day on which they did not keep the Sabbath they did not come to them; thus did We try them because they transgressed.
[7.164] And when a party of them said: Why do you admonish a with a severe chastisement? They said: To be free from blame before your Lord, and that haply they may guard (against evil).
[7.165] So when they neglected what they had been reminded of, We delivered those who forbade evil and We overtook those who were unjust with an evil chastisement because they transgressed.
[7.166] Therefore when they revoltingly persisted in what they had been forbidden, We said to them: Be (as) apes, despised and hated.
[7.167] And when your Lord announced that He would certainly send against them to the day of resurrection those who would subject them to severe torment; most surely your Lord is quick to requite (evil) and most surely He is Forgiving, Merciful.
[7.168] And We cut them up on the earth into parties, (some) of them being righteous and (others) of them falling short of that, and We tried them with blessings and misfortunes that they might turn.
[7.169] Then there came after them an evil posterity who inherited the Book, taking only the frail good of this low life and saying: It will be forgiven us. And if the like good came to them, they would take it (too). Was not a promise taken from t

all people, all groups of people are created equal in Islam. yet in christianity, there have always been supremist interpretations like yours: holocaust- jews are inferior, colonialism/slavery- blacks are inferior, etc etc etc. these all had biblical "justifications". this is just the latest one.
from the viewpoint of equality, brits stealing south africa= jews stealing palestine. both are unjust. jews don't have a special carte blanche they're humans with the same rights as anyone else.
from your point of view, it's ok for jews to wipe out arabs to carry out God's will right? after all, God promised them the land and that land has inhabitants inconveniently? if this is what you call a religion you're pretty damn sick. hope you get better man

Most Muslims as I have found out, don't know the history of their own faith and lands, so they just spew the propaganda they hear from other uneducated people and take it as the truth. I am neither pro-Arab or pro-Israel, I just study the history and 99% of the crap the pro Arab guys spout off is entirely wrong and historically inaccurate. Seems as if they are brainwashed and uneducated much like our modern day Liberals.
