Israeli History at 60 - falsified
catarin:
I have no religious education except that which I have learned on my own, from a wide variety of libraries, books, and scholars and lately from Biblical Archaeology Review. I'm not interested in theology or exclusive belief, only in religious history. I am fond of quoting from Will and Ariel Durant's _The Story of Civilization_, because it was written in the first half of the 20th century, long before people thought it was cute to mingle their own opinions and propaganda with history. Hahaha What idiots! The Durants spent their entire careers writing over a dozen history books and spent much of their lives on the road in the Mediterranean areas to search out every historical place related to the Biblical traditions and to dig deep into ancient records.

catarin, it is not Mr. Baker, but Bakr.
Your friend Doris just reflected the beliefs adopted by many Jews who came close (also in their habits) to Christianity.

Sorry you are having med problems.
I was reading online about members of the Israeli Knesset who are drawing the line on this 60 year struggle. They are contacting many governments, nonMuslim and Muslim, to see who would be agreeable to take in some Arab Palestinian Muslims. In a humanitarian effort, they want to move refugees to other countries so the Muslims can start new lives. But will anyone take them? There will not be a division of Jerusalem, the holy city G-d and the Israelis founded thousands of years ago.
I read about Muslims asking why does the USA favors Jews over Arabs? Americans have respect for the Jews as the source of our religious beliefs. Islam doesn't. Their Holy Land is the holy land for a billion Jews and Christians all over the world. If I as a Christian wanted to move to the West Bank because Jesus taught, prayed and performed miracles there, you would fight me, even though it's my Holy Land and not yours. BTW, the Jews were also one of the founding people of America.
Turkish Muslim scholars are talking about remaking the Quran and updating it for the present era. There are so many hadiths that need to be taken out of Islam because they are self-serving and false. Other things need reinterpreting. I believe someone added to the Quran after Mohammed died because of the Evil it speaks toward Jews and Christians. The author of _The History of Civilization_ , Will Durant, treats the three Abrahamic religions fairly but tells the truth. Why don't you read it?

Unlike the analogy drawn here, Mayhew's assertion was upheld in the British High Court.
Do you have any citations for this incident other than the Wikipedia entry (which has no references, and is highly suspect)? In particular, some credible citations for the statements about the court conclusions. - DvF
