OK, so I looked it up. The primary Quran quotes used are 5:21 and 17:104. And while your Dr. Ahmed says I am compelled by the Quran to support Israel's sole claim to the Holy Land, I don't see anything in the cited texts that specify the possession to be exclusive.

Yes, Muslim tradition recognizes the right of Israelis to live in the Holy Land. It does not go on to specify that the Jews are permitted to displace others.

But I've never been one to support literal interpretation of sacred texts, particularly individual verses taken out of context. Common decency dictates that one can't drive another from home, simply because of religious texts. Both Jews and Muslims call the Levant their home and have valid historical claims - they need to learn to live there together.

And as the Hebrew Scriptures indicate in Genesis 15:18-21, the Holy Land is meant to be multi-ethnic.
