You seem to imply that there is an Islamic meaning to a State of
Palestine. What is your source? Was the 1948 UN Partition plan
for a divided state not compatible with Islam? Was that why
that concept was rejected? If so, which areas exactly form the
Islamic state of Palestine. I stress Islamic here, because your
article would imply that there is a concept of *Muslim* lands.
