I see following differences of a Muslim with Israel: 1. A Muslim should be able to go to the third most holy Masjid in Islam, Al-Aqsa. Prophet peace be upon him said travel is allowed for only three Masjids. 1) Masjidal-Haram in Makkah. 2) Masjidal-Nabwi in Madinah 3) Masjidal-Aqsa in Yaroshalam. 2. It is duty of all Muslims, according to Koran, to fight all those who drive you (or your brothers) from your homes. Muslims consider occupation of Falasteenies driving them out of there homes. 3. Does anybody in the network or not disagree that the killings of Falasteenies in occupied Falsteen should be stopped. If you do then you are taking the side of killers. Toleration of people of other faiths does not mean that they can kill us and we "tolerate". It means that we live in peace and harmony. If there is a Muslim government and in the minority non-muslims there is a dispute, then that dispute be resolved according to the minority's rules. This is just an example of tolerance in Islam. I do not see this kind of tolerance in today's western "civilized" nations. May be the "barbarians" were better! Regards.
