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?

I was born and raised in India in a political environment very sympathetic to Palestine. I grew up adoring George Habash and PFLP and the Intafada (although raised in a Christian family with socialist views). In the early eighties to me Palestine was on the same level as South Africa and not till 9/11 did I realize that most Islamic movements aim at Islamization of the world and this is indeed something every secular person should resist.
Like in Christianity in Western countries, can there be a separation of religion and state in the Middle East. The Bath movement was somewhat of a hope, but it is almsot done.

good question:
I understand that many muslims believe that once a land is occupied by muslims it is forever muslim land. Some of them have already voiced claim
on southern spain.
This is unacceptable.
THere will ultimately be a
JIHAD against those who say JIHAD !!!

Your Question denotes that you are not Muslim. Not a single muslims wants to rule the earth or any part of it; those who are doing are not Muslims. A Muslim has to complete the job handed overby the Prophet (SAW)..... to establish the Shariah all over the world as a whole. As that is the only way to Worldly Peace
