Anybody who has read the Bible knows the long and drawn out history of struggle between the Jews and the muslims. But to those here who have taken no time to learn the history before spouting off your uneducated opinion of what should happen, sit back, get yourself a cold drink, and read away.

According to the Bible,


Abraham was promised that he would be the father of a "great people". Abraham desperately wanted a child. God had promised Abraham a child but with impatient Abraham, and at the urging of his wife, he couldn't wait and had relations with Sarah's maidservant in order to have offspring. The product of the relation was Ishmael who is either the father or grandfather to Mohammed.
Then, BOOYAH, Sarah got pregnant and gave birth to Isaac. Father of Jacob and therefore the beginnings of the jewish lineage.
Now the Bible indicates that it's the jews who were promised the area that is now known as Israel but the area that they are currently in is somewhat smaller than what they say God promised them. Therefore, they want to eventually claim all the land that they say is due them since they are the "chosen people".
Their blood cousins, the muslims, believe that they are the rightful heirs since they too came from Abraham's loins.
Therein lies the problem.
So what we have are two books. The Bible and the Koran. Each people believe that they are the rightful tenants to the little patch of land in the middle east. Each book supports the claims of the people that read them. Each book declares that the descendants of Abraham are the rightful owners of the land.
One race is from a lawful, blessed union between man and wife. The other race is from a one night stand because of the impatience of both the same man and wife.
This issue is not something that will go away with the signing of some peace treaty. This will continue until the last day of mankind.

The end.
