JEWS - VICTIMS OF ISLAM'S ANTISEMITISM

 JEWS - VICTIMS OF ISLAM'S ANTISEMITISM

BRIEF BACKGROUND

Muhammad was born and lived in Mecca for the first 52 years of his life from 570 to 622 AD. He proclaimed prophethood at 40; spending 12 years of his early prophetic career in his place of birth, Mecca.  

The earliest verses of the REVELATION (Quran) were sympathetic to Jews as he took JEWS as natural allies to his monotheistic faith. Islam was modelled in a way to appeal to the Jewish faith; e.g., midday prayer, Friday prayers, Ramadan fasting and most famously the fact that until 623 AD (a year after leaving Mecca) Muslims prayed facing towards Jerusalem, not Mecca. In MEDINA, they first made a pact with the existing communities of Christians and 3 Jewish tribes for a peaceful coexistence.  

ANTAGONISM AGAINST JEWS FROM 624 AD

Jews refused to convert to Islam as in essence for them there was nothing new in it. This caused Mohammad frustration and quickly led to a break with all three jewish tribes. Muhammad decided to move against the Jews of Medina after winning the first battle against the Pagans of Mecca. So, the first to be expelled from Medina was the Banu Qaynuqa in 624 AD.  In 625 AD, the Banu Nadir tribe was evicted from Medina and in 627, the Qurayza tribe was charged with treason and besieged. They surrendered and ALL their men and boys were beheaded 600-900 of them. The spoils of battle, including the enslaved women and children of the tribe, were divided up among the Islamic warriors that had participated in the siege.  

CHANGE OF QIBLA - 623 AD

Before the prophet started ISLAM'S political and violent "PUTSCH" against the JEWS, he changed the Qibla to Mecca. I, therefore, would say that by abandoning Jerusalem, any religious significance that Jerusalem might have had in Islam was nullified by the Prophet himself.  

Since then for 1400 years thereafter, Jerusalem played little or no role in the religious affairs and development of Islam. RATHER, its historical importance as a holy city was downplayed. In the 13th century, Ibn Taymiyya, a major Muslim cleric and ideological godfather of  Wahhabism, wrote extensively about Jerusalem, demonstrating from Muslim sources that there were only two holy cities in Islam - Mecca and Medina. 

IT BEGS THE QUESTION, THEN WHY NOW? THE SHORT ANSWER IS THAT PALESTINE ISSUE IS PART OF ARAB POLITICS

ARAB MUSLIMS had political motives to create a claim on a site which is holy for the Jews. 

ARABS ARE THE AGGRESSORS

Arab leaders committed to the destruction of Israel invented the concept "Palestinian people" in order to justify their endless diatribes against Israel.

There was never a political entity with defined borders and national identity known as "Palestine" until 1922 when the League of Nations created "British Mandate for Palestine. on 22 July 1922.  After WW2, the U.K. granted Jordan independence in 1946 and declared that it would terminate its Mandate in Palestine on May 14, 1948.

TODAY'S ARABS of Israel, the West Bank and Gaza has no genetic or cultural ancestry with the endless array of migrants and invaders of differing ethnic, linguistic and cultural origins who moved through the region from prehistoric times.

ARABS CHANGED THE DEMOGRAPHY OF THE REGION THROUGH MIGRATION AS MUSLIMS DID ELSEWHERE

There is abundant evidence, in fact, that from the mid-19th century onward, during the Ottoman and British Mandate periods, hundreds of thousands of Arabs migrated into the area from surrounding lands in search of the better economic conditions that the British and the Zionists created. The result of this migration was a near quadrupling of the Arab population of the Holy Land from an estimated 340,000 in 1855 to more than 1,300,000 in 1947. 

This means that the majority of today's Arab population of Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, can trace its Holy Land ancestry back for 150 years at best.

INITIAL ARAB OPPOSITION TO "PALESTINE"

Like the Deobandi Muslim clerics opposed Pakistan, the Arabs were initially against using the term Palestine. In fact, from the 1880's onward Arab nationalists actually protested against the use of the term "Palestine" because "Palestine," as they explained, was really Southern Syria.

Even the Grand Mufti Amin el Husseini, the most vitriolic and vociferous Arab nationalist in Southern Syria, opposed the British Mandate because it created "Palestine" separate from Syria.

Akhmed Shukairi, the PLO delegate to the UN, said in 1956, eight years after the birth of the State of Israel that 

"it is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but Southern Syria." 

As late as 1974 Syria's President Hafez al-Assad asserted that "... Palestine is not only a part of our Arab homeland, but a basic part of Southern Syria."

DOES ISRAEL OCCUPY ARAB LAND?

Arabs say Israel is occupying Arab Land! The area of the State of Israel fits 545 times into the Arab World's area, that is roughly 0.18% of the lands.

The historical evidence leads me to believe that JEWS are in fact VICTIMS OF ARAB imperialism, rather than what is portrayed in the mainstream media.
