Blaming Israel And Jews For Wars, Violence And Terrorism In The Islamic World

There are those who blame the violence and extremism emanating from the Muslim world on the unresolved conflict between Arab Palestinians and Israelis, or on Jews themselves. It is pointless to indulge the hatred of weak people that need a scapegoat or simple minded answer to complicated problems, but at the same time, propaganda that defies logic and promotes hate needs to be countered. Long before there ever was an Israel, there was the violent expansion of Islam throughout much of the world. Christianity also violently expanded, and between these two largest religions of the world, millions of people were slaughtered, enslaved, forced to convert, and the cultures, languages and religions of thousands of indigenous people were wiped out. Thankfully, Christianity long ago reformed itself, and forced conversion and church sanctioned violence and killings of non Christians stopped. Islam, desperately in need of reform, has yet to have its own reformation. To this very day, the violent expansion of Islam continues. People debate whether this violence comes from the Quran itself and other Islamic holy books, or from Muslim leaders and religious figures that are teaching violence and intolerance. While this debate goes on, the killing rages. Violent jihad itself, forced conversions, and the acceptance of intolerance and bigotry, regardless of where it comes from, must be completely rejected if humanity has any chance of surviving. If there is a widespread rejection in the Islamic world of violent Jihad and religious intolerance and bigotry, most of the wars and conflicts in this world will stop. Most of these wars and conflicts have nothing to do with Jews, or with Israel, regardless of how much the Jew haters or Israel haters would like us to think otherwise. Long before there ever as an Israel, there was violent conflict in parts of Mindanao in the Philippines that continues to this day, and has taken the lives of untold thousands. In south Thailand, Muslims have killed thousands of civilians in their war against the Buddhist majority. War rages in Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan, Libya, Nigeria, Iraq, Syria, and many other places, in which Muslims are killing Muslims and/or non Muslims. Islamists are destroying middle east religious minorities like Yazidis, Christians, Bahais and others.There is genocide in Darfur by the Sudanese government against black African Muslims. Whenever, in the history of mankind, a religion sanctions and promotes religious violence and intolerance and bigotry, the result has always been exactly what it is the world is witnessing today- deliberate attacks against unarmed civilian populations and widespread war and terror. We now see this religious inspired terrorism all over Europe, Africa, the middle east, Asia, and more. Regarding Israel, if there is the rejection of violence, especially the deliberate attacks against civilians, and the goal is Palestinian statehood, not the establishment of an Islamic state on the ashes of a destroyed Israel, Palestinian statehood will happen shortly thereafter. Many Jews in the world will do everything they can to help Palestinian Arabs have not only statehood, but a Palestinian state that prospers, if they know statehood is the goal, not Jew killing and their own extermination. Philippines(south Mindanao) south Thailand, Israel, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan, Kenya, Yemen, Iraq, Nigeria, and many other places, can be resolved when people stop killing in the name of religion.
