will there be peace in the middle east within the next ten years. if not why not?

Answer 1

(( Sorry for my long answer, but after reading lately about this topic, I was chocked of the size of differences in the Middle East))

I say it is the faith & religion’s struggle in the Middle East, which is changing by the time to a big political differences.
Plus, The Middle East is the mecca of old religions.

Look at the situation there:
Israel & Palestine conflict
We are not just talking about Israeli fighting Palestinians.
Now there are two parties fighting for political power & control: Hamas & Fatih
Therefore, until Hamas & Fatih find a way to state peace then they have to go back and fight Israel.

The Lebanese conflict:
“”The multi-sided Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990) had its origin in the conflicts and political compromises after the end of Lebanon's administration by the Ottoman Empire and was exacerbated by the nation's changing demographic trends, Christian and Muslim inter-religious strife, and the involvement of Syria, Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). After a short break in the fighting in 1976 due to Arab League mediation and Syrian intervention, civil strife continued, with fighting primarily focused in south Lebanon, controlled first by the PLO, then occupied by Israel.
During the course of the fighting, alliances shifted rapidly and unpredictably. By the end of the war, nearly every party had allied with and subsequently betrayed every other party at least once. The 1980s were especially bleak, with much of Beirut laid in ruins during the Israeli invasion that evicted the PLO from the country. A number of war crimes and terrorist acts were committed by all the Lebanese factions participating in the war. The war deteriorated ever further into sectarian carnage, and in the end Lebanon's effective independence counted among the casualties.
By the time of the Taif Agreement in 1989, Israel held on to a security zone in southern Lebanon that it justified as a buffer to prevent attacks on northern Israel. The Israeli Army eventually withdrew in 2000, only to see Syria fill the void from areas it had occupied in northern and western Lebanon since the mid-70s. Syria did not withdraw its troops until 2005, when it was forced out by the joint pressure created by Lebanese protest and powerful diplomatic intervention from France and the UN in the aftermath of the assassination of Rafik Hariri.””

Throughout the civil war & all the way to this day, poor Lebanon is in the middle of this horrible fight of many religious groups that will keep fighting until someone –somehow- win the war and control Lebanon.
Muslims are two groups: Sunni & Shia
& you have the Christians who want to live in peace just like others but without the control of any extreme group.

The Iraqi conflict:
Again, here we are not talking about one faith or religion.
Shia:
((From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia))
“”Shī‘a Islam, also Shi‘ite Islam or Shi‘ism (Arabic شيعة šīʿah), is the second largest denomination of the Islamic faith after Sunni Islam. Shias adhere to the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad and the religious guidance of his family (who are referred to as the Ahl al-Bayt) or his descendents known as Shi'a Imams. Prophet Muhammad's bloodline continues only through his beloved daughter Fatima Zahra and son-in-law Ali which alongside the prophets grandsons are the Ahl al-Bayt. Thus, Shi'as consider Prophet Muhammad's descendents as the true source of guidance while considering the first three ruling Sunni caliphs a historic occurrence and not something attached to faith. The singular/adjective form is šīʿī (شيعي.) and refers to a follower of the faction of Imam Ali according to the Shia ideology.
Shia Islam, like Sunni Islam, has at times been divided into many branches; however, only three of these currently have a significant number of followers. The best known and the one with most adherents is the Twelvers (اثنا عشرية iṯnāʿašariyya) which have a large percentage in Iran 90% and Iraq; the others are Ismaili, Sevener, and Zaidiyyah. Alawites and Druzes consider themselves Shias, although this is sometimes disputed by mainstream Shias[1]. The Sufi orders among the Shias are the Alevi, Bektashi, Kubrawiya, Noorbakhshi, Oveyssi, Qizilbashi, Hamadani and Fatimid orders and denominations. Twenty percent of Turkey's population is Alevi while Lebanon and Syria have a large presence of Druze and Alawites.””
& Shia has 12 Imams – 12 DIFFERENT BELIEVES -
•Most Shia are Twelvers (Isna Asharai) and they recognize twelve Imams.
1.Ali ibn Abu Talib (600–661), also known as Ali, Amir al-Mo'mineen (commander of the faithful), also know as Shah-e Mardan Ali (King of men)
2.Hasan ibn Ali (625–669), also known as Hasan al Mujtaba
3.Husayn ibn Ali (626–680), also known as Husayn al Shaheed, also known as Sah Hüseyin
4.Ali ibn Husayn (658–713), also known as Ali Zainul Abideen
5.Muhammad ibn Ali (676–743), also known as Muhammad al Baqir
6.Jafar ibn Muhammad (703–765), also known as Jafar as Sadiq
7.Musa ibn Jafar (745–799), also known as Musa al Kazim
8.Ali ibn Musa (765–818), also known as Ali ar Ridha
9.Muhammad ibn Ali (810–835), also known as Muhammad al Jawad (Muhammad at Taqi), also known as Taki
10.Ali ibn Muhamad (827–868), also known as Ali al-Hadi, also known as Naki
11.Hasan ibn Ali (846–874), also known as Hasan al Askari
12.Muhammad ibn Hasan (868–?), also known as Hojjat ibn al Hasan
•There are few groups of Ismaili Shia, which include Nizari Ismailis, Dawoodi Bohras, Alavi Bohras, and the Seveners. Nizaris are small in numbers, though they are the biggest non-Twelver Shia group. They accept Jafar as Sadiq's eldest son Ismail as the next Imam. Seveners do not recognize any further of the Twelvers' Imams beyond Jafar. The only major non-Twelver and non-Ismaili group are Zaidis.

WOW…

Then you have Sunni.
“”Sunni Muslims are the largest denomination of Islam. They are referred to as Ahl ul-Sunna (Arabic: أهل السنة; "people of the example (of Muhammad)"). The word Sunni comes from the word sunna (Arabic : سنة ), which means the words and actions [1] or example of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad. Sunnis are also referred to as Ahl ul-Sunna wa-l-Jama'ah (Arabic: أهل السنة والجماعة) (people of the example (of Muhammad) and the community) which implies that the Sunnis are the majority. They represent the branch of Islam that accepted the legitimacy of the caliphate of Abu Bakr. Most Sunni lawyers define themselves as those Muslims who are rooted in one of the four orthodox schools of Sunni law (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafii or Hanbali) and stem from one of the two orthodox schools of creed (Aqeeda); Ashari or Maturidi. By those criteria, some of the groups or movements mentioned below would not be classified as "Sunni"””
Another fact is the Shia-Sunni conflict mentioned in this site:

So, what kind of peace we are looking for ??

Answer 2

There will never be peace in the middle east until the second coming of Christ. Why? Because the Bible say so.

Answer 3

There will never be peace until the end of the world. Violence in the Middle East dates back to biblical times. It says in the Bible that there will not be peace. Ever.

Answer 4

I'm gonna give you a definite no on that one. My opinion on why might be a bit crude to some people, but here's what I think. The people of the middle east are mostly quite hostile, as we learned with Saddam and Osama, and love to take over land and claim it as their own. So countries over there will always fight, and there's really nothing that we can do about it... Unless you wanna take Bush's approach and send 1,000 soldiers over every day just so that they can get killed.

That's what I think.

Answer 5

there will never be peace in the middle east. it is a holy land to all the three great monotheistic faiths. islam, christianity, and juidaism. and three believe they have a right to this land. when the jews and muslims are not fighting for it it is the christians and muslims, or the jews and christians. either way some one is always going to be fighting for control of this land.

Answer 6

Since there hasn't been peace for the last 6,000+ years, I'm not real confident that peace will be achieved in the next ten.

Answer 7

Oh sure. It has been over ten thousand years of war betwine the nations and tribes of the mid east and you in all your majasty are going to change that in ten years.
Next you are going to tell me that Pigs will fly.

Answer 8

If America stayed there 10,000 years still don't think there would be pease there. Why you say,
look at the history of the mid east.

Answer 9

No. The violence and hatred today goes back for centuries (ever hear of the Holy Wars?). It is naive and idealistic to believe there will ever be peace there.

Answer 10

no butt im sure that allot of terrorist wil be elminated soon and unless one countrys takes over with a stable government then no.
