| 'Israel must quit Arab land to co-exist with Muslims' | |
| 2007-04-11 | |
| Jordan’s King Abdullah II urged Israel to end its occupation of Arab land to guarantee peaceful co-existence with the world’s Muslims and warned against a hasty US troop pullout from Iraq, in an interview with AFP on Tuesday. “Israel, the European states and the United States should realise that the Palestinian issue does not only concern the Palestinians but also has the sympathy of all Muslims from Indonesia to the Maghreb states,” he said.
The king also urged the Israeli people to accept an Arab peace plan adopted at a summit in Saudi Arabia last month, saying it “reflects collective Arab will to build peace that puts an end to years of violence and suffering. “They also should acknowledge that this is a unique opportunity in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict and that it is time they work to convince their leaders of the need to resume peace negotiations,” he said. Asked to comment on remarks by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert who said peace could be possible within five years, the king said: “Peace can be reached during a much shorter time, if goodwill prevails”. “This opportunity may not be available in the future,” he said, reiterating that solving the Palestinian question and the issue of refugees were central to a comprehensive solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. | |

| #16 After 30 or 40 years and the world begins to notice that acts of terrorism have greatly diminished, that muzzies aren't demanding everything in sight every five minutes Whatever it takes to bring this about will be worth it. Islam will never bring itself to heel. Only an already bloodied sword of Damocles held in continuous suspension above Islam's head will serve as a sufficient reminder for them to abandon their quest of Global Jihad. |

| #15 One of these days, Israel is going to elect a totally insane, crazy extremist who's going to nuke Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Soddy Arabida, and a half-dozen other places. The world will condemn them, try their best to isolate them, and call the pariahs. After 30 or 40 years and the world begins to notice that acts of terrorism have greatly diminished, that muzzies aren't demanding everything in sight every five minutes, the few with firing synapses will begin to put two and two together, and wonder why it took Israel doing what the West should have done to end the threat of muzzie terrorism. Israel, however, will NEVER be vindicated - that would be too "humiliating". |

| #13 All the donkey hypes from the West cannot change the nature of JordanÂ’s King Abdullah II's islamo mind. He'll keep blathering like as if talking sense. |

| #12 Ok. Israel, annex the west bank and toss out the Paleos. See? Problem solved since it is no longer "arab" land! |

| #11 Of course you're right, Paul -- there's archaeological evidence been found in Israel of the ruling House of David dating to about 100 years after the Bible says King David was actually on the throne (about 1000 BC). But the Arab Muslims have been busily rewriting history, and anyway they believe that it was ordained by Allah that the entire world was given to them - all who preceded them were only temporary placeholders. Actual evidence proves nothing to them. |

| #8 Of course, Arabs must quit all non-Arab lands (Egypt, Africa, Syria, maybe Iraq and Jordan). Deal? |

| #7 I have a better idea. Invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert the people to Christianity (excepting Jews, Buddhists, Jains, wiccans, Scientologists, Raelians are other relatively sensible folk). |

| #6 Coexistence with Muslims *is* possible, but you must change the paradigm of *how* you coexist with them. That is, you must never, ever, offer them anything as a reward for good behavior. This is because they see this as a sign of weakness. Instead, you must begin by taking away some of their land, because the keeping of "Muslim land", and the gaining of more land, they believe to be their strongest religious duty. Once you have taken some of their land, you must be crystal clear to them that they will *never* get that land back, that it is non-negotiable, and Muslim rule over that land has ended forever. And *then*, you must threaten to take even *more* of their land if they do not behave. Though they will scream bloody murder when they do this, and continually connive to gain their land back and get more, it will move the debate to endless argument, away from violence. Because they will be too afraid of losing more land to be violent. And yet, they will never forget that they once owned that land; so you can never forget that they can never get it back. |

| #5 Many Arabs believe that since Spain was once under Arabic control it too should be considered as Arab land. It is part of the Islamic imperialist doctrine which leads to total Muslim world domination in their dark dreams. |

| #4 'Israel must quit Arab land to co-exist with Muslims' When one considers how coexistence with Islam is entirely impossible, to "quit Arab land" takes on an altogether different meaning. My vote is for making the Arabs "quit" instead. How unpleasant the process must be is completely up to them. So far, all indications are that extreme unpleasantness will be required. Muslims really should spend some quality time considering how best to avoid turning Islam into a historical footnote. |

| #3 Myself, I wonder when Israel will have leaders smart/gutsy enough to end Hashemite occupation of Palestinian land, and Palestinian occupation of the Land of Israel. |

| #2 Won't work. I'm sure some muzzie farted in Northern California making it muslim land forever. This translates to: Peace -- as long as the Jews give up Israel, are good little Dhimmi's, and pay their special tax (in humiliation) and live as 4th class citizens. |

| #1 That would work, since the Arabs claim it all. We could end this permanent donnybrook by giving the Isrealis Northern California for a homeland.... Current NoCals could move to Palestine where they'd be more comfortable with the government. |
