Cuezed:-
Do you read the Quran in English and did you not know of these verses before? If you did not know about them, how many more muslims do not know their Holy book which they base their laws and beliefs on. Do you see this as a problem in the Islamic community where there seems to be much ignorance about what is actually written in your ancient texts. It seems non muslims are sometimes more knowledgable about your history and religion than many muslims.
Surah 5 verse 20:-
And (mention, O muhammed), when Moses said to his people "O my people, remember the favor of Allah upon you when He appointed among you prophets and made you possessors and gave you that which He had not given anyone among the worlds.
Surah 5, verse 21:-
(Moses said) O my people enter the Holy Land which Allah has asigned to you and do not turn back and become losers.
These verses were revealed at Mecca when Mohammed PBUH still thought he could make the Jews revert to Islam and revealed that Allah had given the Holy Land to the Jews.
I think a major problem is that many muslims do not read the Quran in their native language so have no idea of what it actually says. Many muslims only learn their prayers in Arabic and know nothing of the Quran except what is preached by the Imams. And remember, the Quran is immutable, Allah said so.
And I doubt that the Imams would tell the Palestinians that Allah had actually given the Holy Land to the Jews all those years ago. Wouldn't suit the agenda! They would rather keep them in ignorance and living in a hell on earth.
Another problem, of course, is the illiteracy rates in Islam so many muslims can't read the Quran and are easily manipulated.
