Reader comment on: Islam Today

Submitted by Dr. J. Oceanside, May 22, 2009 10:29

Thanks for being so honest about the current situation in the Middle East....if only the Palestinians and all Muslims/Arabs all over the world would stop believing ancient propaganda about Jews, what a better world this would be! The Jewish people ask one thing...to be allowed to live in peace....no bombings, no rockets, no jihad, no murder.... Is that too much to ask? I don't want to addresss all the issues in the conflict, but let me say one thing about Jerusalem....from 1948 to 1967, Jews, Israelis, were not allowed to visit the holiest site in the Jewish religion, ie. the Wester Wall! Since 1967, ALL people, Arabs, Muslims, Christians, Jews, are allowed to visit the sites....(only the Muslims forbid Jews to enter the Temple Mount....do you see what I'm getting at?) Why must Israel cede any control of Jerusalem, when the world has total and free access to all the holy places? We all know that the Jordanians did to Jewish tombstones during those years...we know what happened to Synagogues, etc. (oh yes, why do I dredge up these ugly lies?) So thank you for writing the truth...Israelis have built walls and barbed wire etc. only to protect themselves...remember...they did NOT erect those barriers in 1967....they only did so within the last few years when the situation for Israelis became untenable. Thank you for speaking the truth....we need to hear more of that!
