The spread of Islam has no connection with the Arab-Israeli conflict ... the Romans expelled the Jews from Palestine (or whatever the Romans called the relevent province) some centuries before the birth of Mohammed and such small minorities of Jews as have lived in Muslim lands have generally lived in amity with their rulers (they are a protected by Islamic law). The Arab-Israeli conflict is of modern vintage and its time of origin coincides with massive Jewish immigration to Palestine during the twentieth century. If the Romans expelled the Jews from Israel or Palastine if you like , then why was Joseph and Mary along with Jesus (jews) going to pay their taxes in Bethlehem , you would have thought they would have said "you can sod that for a lark we don't even live there". 2 minutes ago, Mr Fisk said: Another joker who thinks he knows about the meaning of Jihad- and only has tinted glasses on.

The expulsion, which by the way is the origin of 'the Jewish diaspora', occurred after the Jesus story has finished and was part of a response to a rebellion by the Jewish people. Also part of the response was the destruction of the second temple in Jerusalem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

How long a list would you like The thing is most Christian nations have grown up and now realise that all these gods are fairy stories so no longer take religion seriously . When kids stop being indoctrinated at birth by their parents and old men who are not very bright the World will be a much better place for all humanity .

You do realize the Gaza strip is the 4 most densely populated territory on the planet. And shooting missiles isn't a war crime?

(check with your local Imam) But the Big Question is: Why are the Muslims always fighting each other? Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Afghanistan, Algeria, Lebanon, Chad, Sudan, Somalia. Eritrea, Oman are constantly at war. That is some "religion of peace", Lol Here's Quora's answer: (https://www.quora.com) "Islam was spread by conquest, so rival Muslim cliques were fighting each other from the outset."
