Salutations and Beginning
Assalaamu Alaykum,
To the people of the Book – peace be upon those who follow righteous guidance,
I am posting this as many Jews and other non-Muslims have misinterpreted things I have said about Israel on this forum and others, some accused me of wanting genocide, of being a Jew hater etc, etc.
So to clarify my I regard Israel as immoral and illegal, built on stolen land and taken from the Muslims and Christians of that area and given the Jews who immigrated from other parts of the World. I believe it should therefore be destroyed, wiped off the map as a nation.
Did he just say that? Wiped off the map?
Yes I did! That does not however mean I believe that the Israelis themselves should be wiped off the map, they are people who in most cases didn’t perpetrate the initial theft, they only inherited it but that doesn’t mean the historic wrong done the Palestinian people should be left either.
A compromise position is best to be reached that will not breach the rights of the Palestinians, will allow the Jews a way out of the moral mess they have created and will also be in accordance with God’s law as laid out in the Quran (God’s final book to mankind) and the Sunnah (the example left to us by God’s final prophet and messenger – Muhammad (saws)).
This would obviously not be easy and these are my own views, not any ‘official’ Islamic position, just a way I see out of this moral mess of the Israeli-Muslim Ummah conflict that respects all and doesn’t breach the rules of Islam.
Temporary Solution First
The temporary Solution to allow cooler heads at a later date to look at this matter is to accept the offer of Hamas for a 10, 20 or even 50 year truce based upon the 1967 borders.
Why a truce and not a peace settlement? Well in Islam we cannot hand over one hand span of Muslim land, to do so would be ruling by other than God and his final messenger have revealed and could even be judged an act of apostasy therefore.
But we can have a truce, a temporary peace lasting a long period of time and would allow a longer negotiated settlement that would take into account the rights of both sets of people and also the Islamic law on this issue.
Why should the Jews who have the upper hand now accept such a compromise?
Well look around them. Muslims everywhere.
The piece of land they stole is surrounded by Muslims, Muslims who are increasingly turning towards their faith more and more and demanding Islamic rule. Sooner or later an Islamic state will come about and when it does it will be hostile towards Israel.
Truces respected by Practicing Muslims around the World
If a legitimate truce is already in place they would have to respect that and practicing Muslims can be trusted with their word if given. The secularists like the PLO cannot be trusted, they don’t believe in God truly as they think his rule is incomplete so how can you trust such a person not to lie another of God’s commands?
Such a truce would allow the Palestinians to develop their land, live as a people and get on peacefully with their Israeli neighbours without the need to go against God’s law and say they have signed away such Israel land for good.
It would give the Israelis some breathing space and would allow them perhaps to take a step back to really look at what were doing to another people. The Palestinians didn’t Gas you, burn you and make soap out of you, that was the West, the same people who support your state now. So why are you hurting the Palestinians for the wrong that others did to you?
Historically the Jews have always sought and found protection in Muslim lands, there is no reason to believe this cannot continue in the future as long as these wrongs in Palestine are sorted out first.
Now you say you want a homeland, somewhere Jews can go and live according to their customs and laws, well buy it don’t steal it. The Muslims in al-Andalus allowed you to rule by your laws and customs in your towns, why couldn’t such a deal be made in the future?
My ‘Final Solution’ to the Jewish Problem
This is my eventual idea of a final settlement for the Palestinian / Israeli problem after such a Truce runs out. Such a truce could off-course keep being renewed but it would be better for all for a permanent solution to be found.
1. The Jews of Israel accept the sovereignty of the Islamic state which should God willing be in place at the end of such a truce, THIS IS A MUST FOR MUSLIMS around the world for just an agreement to be respected. As Muslims we cannot let you take this land and say it is yours. You can own land within the Islamic state, but you cannot say it is not part of that state.
2. The Jews in their personal affairs, within their own towns and cities would be free to live by their own laws as based upon their scripture and this would have to be respected by the Muslims. But when dealing with Muslims they would have to do so through the laws found in the Shariah and respect the external foreign policies of the Muslim state also.
3. The Jews would have to pay the Jiziyah, for the protection of the Islamic state they lived in and could levy their own taxes to run their own affairs.
4. Jews could choose to move to this land if they wished and buy land there if they wished, as they could to any part of such a future Muslim state, other than the land of the two holy sanctuaries.
5. Each Jewish family or community would have to negotiate a compensation settlement with the Palestinians whose land they are living on if it was stolen in the first place. Where the Palestinian people could have a piece of land back if they wished or the Jews could buy it off them if they could agree a price between themselves. Such deals are likely given that the original inhabitants of that land would be long dead and so their heirs would not be able to all live on it anyway so makes sense for them to sell it and split the proceeds.
6. All Such agreements would have to be respected by the Muslim State forever more and couldn’t be reopened once agreed by the family and those whose land they are on but if the family wanted their land back, well it is theirs and it has to be returned to them and those who are living on it will have to buy somewhere else to live.
What happens if not such Truce or Agreement?
What will happen if there is no such truce or agreement between us?
Well the Muslim State, the Khilafate is going to come back, God willing soon. But sooner or later it will come about And if no such truce is in place they don’t have to respect any previous agreements signed through secularists like the PLO that don’t conform to Islamic standards.
Such a state would almost certainly make War upon Israel and attempt to destroy it, as we would see it as our duty to correct such a terrible historic wrong. Now maybe they would impose a just settlement to all parties afterwards… or perhaps they would deal with the Jews by expelling them all to Europe or even taking them as captives or worse for the Jews killing their men folk and enslaving the rest. All permissible in Islamic Law against a people behaving as the Jews of Israel are behaving.
So any of the above things could happen, so really its in the interests of the Palestinians, in the future interests of the Jews of Israel to make a truce now and when a future Islamic state comes about make a deal with them, a just settlement that will not compromise on Islamic law, but will see this conflict resolved once and for everyone’s benefit so future wars can be avoided.
