Can I ask for clarification and definition. Where exactly is
occupied Falasteen? This question cannot be answered without such
clarification. It is my understanding that Islam respects the rights
of people to their homeland. Even in 1948, this area was part of
Israel. Is there an Islamic source to indicate that this is not
the case? 

	Does Islam believe in an eye for an eye?
	If so, why were the people praying at the Wall attacked?
	If not, why were these innocents picked on?
	Does Islam say that you can pick on anybody, or is it better
	to fight he who fights you. My understanding is that none of those
	who were praying were fighting.
