Another question...?

Question

Can anyone give me proof (encyclopedic/news articles) that an independent Arab Muslim country called Palestine ever existed?

Answer 1

Isn't this a politics question? You're asking for an encyclopedia article about the existence of a nation.

Not so religious.

Answer 2

No independent countries existed in that area until present time, but an area designated as Palestine, and no I cannot use the names because I cannot spell them, was created by Hadrian, the roman emperor, after he dispelled all the Hebrew from the area formerly know as Israel, in 61 AD approx. You can find the info in wikepedia. Just enter Palestine. Before the Hebrew people took it the area was know as Canaan.

Answer 3

There was no established arab muslim country in the middle-east called Palestine in modern history. The region was a part of the ottoman empire, then it was under the british rule and finally, it became Israel.

Answer 4

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine
TONS of info. Here are some samples...

Palestine (from Latin: Palaestina; Hebrew: פלשת‎ Pleshet, פלשתינה Palestina; Arabic: فلسطين‎ FilastÄ«n, FalastÄ«n) is one of several names for the geographic region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River with various adjoining lands. Many different definitions of the region have been used in the past three millennia.

Other English names for this geographical region include: Canaan (Hebrew: כנען‎), Land of Israel (Hebrew: ארץ ישראל‎ Erets Yisrael), Judea (Hebrew: יהודה‎ yehuda), Holy Land (Hebrew: ארץ הקדש Erets Ha-Kodesh‎; Latin: Terra Sancta; Arabic: الأرض المقدسة‎ al-Ard al-Muqaddasah[1]) and Cisjordan (not to be confused with the French term for the modern-day West Bank, Cisjordanie).

Holy texts

The Hebrew Bible calls the region Canaan (Hebrew: כּנען‎) when referring to the pre-Israelite period and thereafter Israel (Yisrael). The name "Land of the Hebrews" (Hebrew: ארץ העברים‎, Eretz Ha-Ivrim) is also found as well as several poetical names: "land flowing with milk and honey", "land that [God] swore to your fathers to assign to you", "Holy Land", "Land of the Lord", and the "Promised Land". The Land of Canaan is given a precise description in (Numbers 34:1) as including all of Lebanon as well(Joshua 13:5). The wide area appears to be the habitat of the ancient ethnic Hebrews, albeit shared with other ethnic groups. The land of Canaan is part of the land given to the descendants of Abraham, which extends from the Nile to the Euphrates River (Genesis 15:18). This land is said to include an area called Aram Naharaim, which includes Haran in modern Turkey, from where Abraham the ancestor of the Israelites departed.

The events of the Four Gospels of the Christian Bible take place entirely in Israel.

In the Qur'an, the term الأرض المقدسة ("Holy Land", Al-Ard Al-Muqaddasah) is mentioned at least seven times, once when Moses proclaims to the Children of Israel: "O my people! Enter the holy land which Allah hath assigned unto you, and turn not back ignominiously, for then will ye be overthrown, to your own ruin." (Surah 5:21)

Answer 5

So if an independent Palestine never existed that would be an excellent argument for... what, exactly?

Answer 6

Answer 7

Not me.

Answer 8
